The preliminary in game benchmarks for each quality preset show a slight increase in average FPS, from 4 to even 6%, compared to my totally not really accurate benchmarking methodology and older patch 1.02 results. Yes I know the benchmark is bad in this game, and even if it were a good indicator of actual in game performance, my results are not conclusive, trust me, I know statistics, error measurement, and all that stuff, but it would take a lot of time, and I’m just want to play the game, at last.
Some of the annoying bugs are still present, like the character movement getting stuck after looting, or the Anisotropic Filtering still being broken, the “reverse popping” on the ground, etc. But, so far, in like 3.5 hours, my game hasn’t crashed, we will see if it stays this stable in future sessions and I’ll be sure to report the results back, probably in my Community tab as a post or something.
As usual, I hope this can be useful to any of you, and I’ll see you next time : )
