Remnant 2 has been getting a lot of feedback from fans lately due to the game’s frequent performance issues. Recently on Reddit the developers provided a detailed response to the criticism, which states that the game was created with upscaling technology in mind. In other words, the game will not be able to reach the maximum performance threshold even on an RTX 3070 graphics card unless upscaling technologies such as DLSS, FSR or XeSs are used.
“We’ve received some feedback on the overall performance of the game. We’ll be sure to release performance updates after the launch of the game. But to be more transparent, we’ve designed the game with scaling (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) in mind,” the developers said in a Reddit post.
Further, the developers clarify that changing other settings can lead to performance improvements. Obviously, the greatest spread, in addition to turning on and off upscaling, will give changes in the shadow settings. Unfortunately, many Remnant 2 players responded in the comments that even using balanced DLSS is not enough to ensure a stable frame rate.
I have a 3070ti, 9600k and 16gb of ram. At 1440p, using balanced DLSS, I get very erratic frame rates, ranging from 30+ fps at worst to 50-65 fps at quieter moments. Very unstable frame rates, although gsync helps. But still, I would really like to be able not to go below 60, given the technical characteristics of my PC.
Many other users supported the aforementioned player. Apparently, even the scaling technology is not able to provide the smooth gameplay promised by the developers with the destruction of monsters.
Needless to say, such statements by the developers caused dissatisfaction among many players. The creators were accused of not wanting to spend additional resources on standard optimization.
Remnant 2 launches July 25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
