0.0 hrs last two weeks / 48.9 hrs on record (9.9 hrs at review time)

First day, couldn't get the game started without crashing.
Refunded and waited for patches.
On day three I repurchased, and installed. 9 hours online and about 14 off and no ftp problems, no crashes, and all setting maxxed out on a 2K NON-HDR monitor.
Game is worth getting if it works for you. If not refund and wait for patches.

My speces (not bragging, they are a few years old):
Win 10 Home
i5 9600k Processor OC to 4.7Ghz
MSI 370Z Motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080ti
32GB 2600Mhz Ram OC to 3200Mhz
Steam and Game running on a Gen3 1TB M.2 Drive
SoundblasterX PCI to an old 500w LogiTech 5.1 amp and speaker. - The game sound very nice o_O

Yup. That sounds like what they just patched. It's really driver/hardware specific as to how it seems to run. My wife is playing it on a 1070 at 1080p and it's running like a champ, all setting high. It's worth checking out if this patch (specific to nvidia cards) works for you.

I'm at 1080p as well. I get bad stutters and frame dips into the 40s happens often. Into the 30s when it rains in some places. I run with everything on low/off except for textures and model details. FOV maxed, running exclusive fullscreen.

I doesn't matter what preset I use, stutters and frame dips happen often. Only difference is my average goes up 10-15fps on low compared to Ultra.

I know you can't help me per say, I'm just so confused why some people claim to not have issues. Recently found out devs have a way to directly submit issues to them. I'll try that and hope a patch eventually comes out.

At what resolution? But that shouldn't matter. My wife is playing the game as well, and her PC is similar to mine only using an older 1070 (NOT ti) card and her memory is running stock at 2600Mhz. Her resolution is only 1080p and the game is running smooth on all high settings.

What witchcraft did you do to get the game to run smoothly? I can't get a stable 60fps with a 1070ti.
