This title shows noticeable CPU optimization weaknesses. It confuses me about why a 2015 release doesn’t fully utilize four threads—typically, it only achieves around 40% usage per thread, far below the potential of modern hardware. This is why many recommend quad-core processors or hyperthreaded i3s for smoother gaming. The game feels noticeably laggy, resembling older titles like Far Cry 4, which makes the experience quite frustrating. I’m not sure if others share this issue, but it definitely affected my playtime. I wouldn’t suggest purchasing it right now; wait for updates before buying. Just my opinion. Peace.

Optimization issues identified. Development team, it's time to address this.

Eventually I hope they’ll fix themselves or I’ll become a top developer who never messes up. Don’t stress, I’m focusing on optimizing for 18-core i7s and beyond in the coming years.

They don't even manage to work with a dual-core processor. Disappointing.

It's available on both consoles and PCs at the same time. They clearly prioritized the peasants and overlooked us. Those publishers and their developers are to blame—though I know it's not their fault. I'm relieved it doesn't have proper multiplayer as I expected, instead it has this simple single-player mode with co-op. No need to cry.

That’s not a solid reason, though. Consoles typically have 7 to 8 usable cores (excluding the GPU), so they should be very efficient on multi-core setups. As for frame drops, I haven’t really seen many. It probably isn’t as bad as everyone claims.

As I mentioned before, it was based on my own experience with the game, and not everyone will have the same. Still, I feel it’s disappointing that the game doesn’t utilize multiple threads or cores.

It's really tough these days. Even with Eve Online, it remains a single-threaded experience.

This game sets a strong example for a reliable port, but it demands significant effort to operate smoothly and suffers from major technical problems.
