Sadly yeah the native client runs pretty poorly. OpenGL 30-55 FPS range. with vulkan argument it gets 60+ but with weird frametime spike every 5 sec or so. With proton it runs smooth™

He probably has all the statistics and knows the insides, So i think he is right. I find it stupid that people just start calling out with names for no reason though :( but i guess its the internet.
But thats probably bad news for every other big game like Apex Legends and so on also sadly.

Quoting: mphuZthat has nothing to do with valve.Not only has Valve banned NFT games from Steam...But at the same time they themselves support a third-party NFT platform: https://dmarket.com [External Link] :whistle:

Yeah. I predicted this when it launched that 2 years down the road it will be pretty much in maintenance mode.
Terrible Launch, awful business model, restricted to some countries only, not enough games and so on i guess.

Woow. What have they done with their good game engine? It used to be really good with the HD remakes and Serious Sam 3. Now it runs like crap. frametime spikes all over the place. GPU doesn't even get fully utilized with Ultra GPU settings and 1440p. And the game doesn't really look amazing. Looks more like a game from 2010 or so.
Ryzen 7 3700X gets only 30-40% Utilization and GTX 1080Ti 55-70%. Vulkan rendering.
Gameplay is kinda meh also, at least at the beginning of the game. Gunplay feels very weak and feedback is almost non existent. Specially shotgun. Explosions are good though and Sam jokes are pretty good in line with their earlier games.
