Metro Exodus

PC will always be better, especially with newer hardware.

Imagine what gaming will be like in 10 years when we can play all of our old games in 8K natively. You can maybe run a few titles now in 8K with DSR.

 

Big update coming down now, must be the DLC, 3.7GB.

EDIT:

Yup, just loaded her up, its the DLC

Not bad at all, thats a lot of fixes

 

About @^$%&*! time!

 

They mean the stutter ?

 

Yes 4.88 GB at EPIC , man i can't wait!

can't play DLC , what da fuc! come on !!!!

 

DLC still says unavailable for me.

 

Already available

 

Yeap, looks good so far.

 

Got it now, 4.88GB last night, plus additional 1.23 GB this morning .

 

does dlc story need main story be finished beforehand?

 

I agree, the first game to not have Hairworks cause fps drops was long due

 

That's what I thought they meant, but apparently not. I tested it, and the stutter effect is still there

I don't think 4A Games have a clue about fixing this problem. It probably has to do with how their engine handles real time shader compilation, because the only thing I've found which ameliorates the stutter is turning shader cache on.

A good 3D engine will farm out shader compiling to worker threads which do it in the background. I guess their engine is very inefficient in that process, hence the jarring stutter.

 

can you test the benchmark ? it always hitches at the point where the deer runs through the forest with any preset as long as hair works is enabled

example:

 

I've never run the benchmark, but I did test in game. Right at the beginning of the Volga when Artyom is walking with Anna and two rabbits pop up, it always hitches because those rabbits have hairworks.

 

ok thanks

 

Weird i dont have such problems, u using sli ?

 

can you run the benchmark and see if it hitches where the deer runs through the forest ?
need to have hair works enable for whichever preset you use

you can see the hitch i'm talking about in this vid

 

No I'm not using SLI. You probably don't notice the hitch because you have shader cache turned on. With shader cache turned on, the effect only happens once after encountering an entity with HW enabled. After that, the compiled shader is saved to disk and so the effect is greatly diminished or outright negated.
