And here I won't be exception.
I sunk thousands of hours in 7DTD, I IS a good game.
But for decades all improvements were pure coming in regards to looting tweaking/vehicles and increase of textures of the game.
When comes to actual coding - game was and still is in poor optimization state.
I have decent rig. 7900 XTX, 1440P. I have mid/high settings without path tracing but with ray tracing and without frame generation, 60-100 fps, in Cyberpunk 2077, usually around 70-80 FPS. It looks fantastic.
This game, 10 years in development, looked like shit 10 years ago, still does now.(it did improve, but again, at expense of textures + added a few nice lightning effects). Outside of major cities - it performs A OK. Not an eye candy, but around 100 FPS. But go inside of mid/high populated cities and its a slug fest.expect frame drops, and 40FPS. Still no human/raider AI yet.
I wonder how much performance is shit to do with the fact that all environment but traders is completely destructible?
But yeah, looks like someone is about to retire.
