Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was launched on April 28 throughout PC and current-gen consoles, with the previous model getting bombarded with unfavorable evaluations on Steam on launch day. The evaluations on Steam give attention to the sport’s poor efficiency on PC, inflicting uneven framerates even throughout less-populated inside segments (Gadgets 360 can verify efficiency points on PC). Whereas the day-one patch made issues like cutscenes smoother, as per a number of gamers, Jedi Survivor was nonetheless unable to keep up a constant 60 fps, even on the bottom settings. Developer Respawn Leisure has now issued an apology, confirming that its crew will proceed monitoring efficiency “throughout all platforms” and launch patches in time. For the document, the PS5 and Xbox Collection S/X variations aren’t devoid of efficiency points both — simply nowhere on par with the PC model.
“We’re conscious that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is not performing to our requirements for a share of our PC gamers, specifically these with high-end machines or sure particular configurations,” the tweet reads. “For instance, gamers utilizing cutting-edge, multi-threaded chipsets designed for Windows 11 have been encountering issues on Windows 10, or high-end GPUs coupled with lower-performing CPUs additionally noticed surprising body loss.” Whereas the response is definitely backed by an apology, it feels slightly accusatory — as if it has to do with how a participant has configured their setup. That is compounded by the truth that the sport was initially slated for a March 17 release and was then delayed by six weeks to make sure polish at launch.
Respawn Entertainment will now divert focus in the direction of fixing the problems, however observe that it’s going to take a while for ‘vital testing,’ so the updates do not introduce new issues. It is usually odd how the developer deemed operating Home windows 10 on newer CPUs because the trigger for the problem — to my data, there is not a major draw back to it. Plus, a fast perusal of Steam’s Hardware Survey web page will present that 73.95 p.c of PC gamers nonetheless use Home windows 10 as their main working system. The sport’s DRM has additionally been reportedly posing points for PC gamers, locking gamers out of the sport as a result of the know-how believes that the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor app had been open on a number of programs directly. Even the PS5 model is laggy and its HDR system utterly destroys the picture high quality — to the purpose the place issues are solid solely in black.
A more moderen instance of a damaged PC port is The Last of Us Part I, which additionally opened to negative reception on Steam, as a consequence of crashes, uneven framerates, and odd overconsumption of the VRAM. Since launch, developer Naughty Dog has launched a bunch of new patches and hotfixes, which have seemingly improved the efficiency so much. Let’s have a look at how lengthy Respawn takes to dole out their fixes.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.
