      It’s such a shame. I’m sure the people developing this at the “coal face” really do try their best but it just seems the skills aren’t there anymore to really optimise code. People like John Carmack getting the original Doom and Quake engines running on such low powered computers and Tim Sweeney getting the original unreal engine running so well on hardware of the time (I would wager he’s not that involved in UE4 and 5). I just think modern game dev tools are abstracted out to such a level to be point and click/drag and drop to get games out of the door, that the art of getting it running smoothly is just not there like it used to be.

I know there are different ways to clock time with things like animations, and it’s often highly different looking formulas and checks involved in those different methods. Then you have all sorts of combat interactions based on those frequently checked values of such animations and now you’ve tied all of your shoe laces together by starting off on the wrong method.

    I think the "tick rate" can be set in the INI file for the game's settings, by limiting the Frame Rate. I've set mine to 30 FPS and it seems to have made the animation issues largely unnoticeable, most of my frame time spikes on Patch 8 seemed to have been reduced to Traversal Stutter. Third Party and external frame rate caps did not seem to provide any benefit, but the Game's INI does seem to, and the opening sequence was entirely fixed by capping the frame rate at 30 FPS on Patch 8.
    I don't have the game installed currently, having completed my second run through, but I might be pleasantly surprised to find that Patch 9, with the INI capped to 30 FPS to lower the engine "tick rate", could very well render this game "fixed" on my AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and RX 6600M, with 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
    There was a tweak to the Shader system to use LastOpened = "Test" which seemed to force the game to use cached shaders where it apparently wasn't always using cached shaders before. This tweak turned off the shader compilation step entirely at startup, requiring it to be manually enabled after driver updates and such.

      ​@@prince_warhero You can finish it a million times. Won't change the fact that it's unplayable for me.

      If a tiny stutter in a major game city is unplayable you are a snob who's never had a pc that wasn't the most expensive thing on the market or just don't play games.

      Did I mention that? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you know absolutely nothing about how the game runs on my PC.

    As someone who still had issues, glad to know the game still has issues. Great work as always DF!

    Dragons Dogma 2 just got a patch that supposedly fixed the performance issues in the towns. Can you guys do a video on whether this patch actually fixes anything? I’d like to get the game but I’m really suspicious about the performance.

    Seeing that they are making another Jedi game it doesn’t give me much hope that it will be a performance disaster as well.

    Good performance or not, the game is so bad it's not even worth playing.
    Mid repetitive gameplay, abymal story and characters.
    Fallen Order was great but they really s*** the bed on this one.

    Just finished Star Wars Outlaws and this video popped up.
    I gotta say, even tho a stuttery mess on pc, Jedi Survivor is the superior Star Wars experience.

    Easily one of the worst optimized AAA games of this gen.
