Unplayable issue with Dying Light on FX 6300
Unplayable issue with Dying Light on FX 6300
Initially I noticed AMD's single core performance is significantly lower than Intel's, and Dying Light appears to be a single-threaded title. This is my first time playing a game on it, and I've adjusted every setting to the lowest. Even reducing the resolution to 720p doesn't help—game stutters, freezes during quick-time events and zombie attacks, and there are audio glitches. Are others experiencing the same issues with AMD CPUs? I have a GTX 770, 8 GB RAM at 1600 MHz, and it seems to run much better on Battlefield, BF3, and 4 compared to Dying Light so far.
Someone prefers rough, unoptimized games over smooth ones, and FX users are clearly better than the average.
Fanboy's feedback is always appreciated. It's not an excuse for such poor optimization, but the benchmark I saw in other posts proved that an i3 can outperform 3970X in Dying Light—really impressive!
I understand why the developer seems so unmotivated. This is probably why fans recommend i3/i5 instead. Just avoid buying their game and backing away from their attitude. You're not missing out much, honestly. It's a bleak place with a dark twist. I’d suggest giving Mirror’s Edge a try for a more enjoyable experience.
I'm experiencing issues even when using maximum settings with my 4690k processor, 16GB RAM, and a Strix 970.
The game doesn't push my i3 to its limits. It doesn't utilize both cores at full capacity. The issue is that the i3 completely breaks down the house in this game because it has quicker cores. Just being a casual player, that's the reality.
I'm using an FX 6300 and while I understand the 25-30fps is far too slow, I wouldn't say it's impossible to play. Overall, the game runs quite smoothly at 25fps... which might seem unrealistic to many players, but I believe stuttering is worse than a low frame rate. Those who have tried the Stalker series would likely agree. Sadly, the latest update didn't help AMD users much. The hope is that they'll address the issue in a future patch, so I'm hoping for an update soon. I need to finish my gameplay so I can submit a review and enjoy the later sections without discomfort after hours of play.
