I’m trying to keep my peace about this and will plug away at it but I have to say the optimization is really poor. This was my main concern for the game and sure enough, my fears prove true. The game needs major performance improvements. I’ve three or four other cryengine games that run at 60 fps at very high to almost max settings and with a higher fidelity of graphics and consistency than KC right now. To me it looks like they needed to have done a better job running it through more optimizing procedures before releasing it. I’m also having a very annoying keybinding bug. The reset function is refusing to work but even worse, when I literally have no conflicts it will tell me I have conflicts. I can manually check to verify this and try only one change at a time and it will give me a conflict message and there are not even any red highlights.
Back to the main issue at hand though, I dearly hope Warhorse will do right by us and continue to support the game and to work on its substantial performance issues. I have:
Windows 7 64bit
Core i7 4790k 4@4Ghz
EVGA GTX 970 4GB
16GB Ram
Like I said I have other cryengine games that are optimized and perform accordingly so I can’t accept a “get a better graphics card” answer. That is not an answer nor is it valid. Between other cryengine games and things like Witcher 3 which I run at 60fps at very High with some Ultra settings my 970 is more than capable and should be for KC as well.
I still believe there’s a jewel of a game within that I’m willing to work at to get to but please Warhorse Studios, iron out these performance issues for us because they do exist and they need addressing. If anyone has any tips in the mean time that would be great. I’m still going to piddle around with it, get the lastest Nvidia driver and poke around with my Nvidia settings and see what I can see.
