My PC is pretty beat at this point and it feels it. Destiny 2 on med/high I get 70-90 fps depending on zone, here I get 40-50 on med/low.

Really like the gameplay otherwise. Only level 11 at this point. Got a cool Torgue AR legendary that shoots lightning and lightning balls. Wrecks shields in two shots.

But ... Sniper Rifles with shotgun alt fire modes more then compensates for any of these issues.

This is my favorite part. The alt fire mode for different types is amazing. No longer have to farm for the same weapon twice because you want shock/corr

beat the game last night, time to farm a bit then head in for True mode

I had an awesome incendiary shotgun...thing melts....

I just hate that I've kinda outleveled it now =/

Man I was in love with a couple torgue shotguns until I found me a nice full auto sniper. I just run out of ammo so quick with it.

So, question. If my bro waits to get this game on Steam in April 2020 on Steam, will he be able to play it with me on Epic? How would we connect? I am guessing he would launch it on Steam, which would launch the Epic Launcher then the game. (This is how Ghost Recon Wild lands works and Far Cry 5 works , though in perspective to Uplay).

**Krandor** · 2019-09-15 16:42

It wouldn't require Epic launcher when it comes out on Steam.

As for play between Steam and EGS, I doubt it, but who knows.

**6souls** · 2019-09-15 16:46

Supposedly the Echocast add-on for Twitch and/or Denuvo is preventing some streamers from maintaining a steady connection due to memory usage.

I really hope they get a stability patch out soon, having my entire game lock up for a few seconds in heavy combat and then run at 3fps for a second or two before going back to running at 100+ is a fucking drag. I also have not seen this game take up anywhere near close to the 16gb of ram it reccomends you have on your system I wonder if that has to do with it happening, enemy bodies don't seem to despawn and just hang around.

Killa Volt is an ass. It's a pain in the ass to damage him and the full electric floor is crappy. Took forever to get him down to half his HP bar, but then the full electric floor killed me.

Same! Tried him at level 14 and it did not go well lol...that full floor is brutal

Having not paid a whole lot of attention to the game before it released, I had no idea Ice-T was in it. I was pleasantly surprised one I recognized the voice, especially considering how bad so much of the voice acting in the game is.

I've been hearing performance is pretty bad myself. Couch Co-Op's framerate and suffer greatly while in menus and people have actually been going to Steam to ask for help for PC related questions.

**Tokitoki** · 2019-09-16 07:03

Yeah, even some of the streamers I've watched with some monster PCs are getting hangups. You can tell the optimization is not that great. I thought I had made a mistake getting it for PC since mine is kinda old now, but apparently even PS4 Pro/XB1X can't keep stable above 30?

Same, I'm also 14 and going to give it another shot before I grind a bit. I have an interesting AR that has Radiation sticky mines that explode after a couple seconds. I think I can shoot them at the floor and hit his feet to do decent damage and hit him with the DOT. I was using the alt fire for it, a Radiation impact shot that explodes and took a similar tact but I'm thinking the stickies may end up doing more damage.

**Yabby** · 2019-09-16 07:16

I feel like I'm just lucky. Almost every time I see people saying a game has optimization issues, i never have seen any issues. I don't even have a monster PC or anything (Going 5 years old now), and i haven't dropped below 60fps. The only time it is lower than that is during loading a new area for about 2 secs.

**Prothescar** · 2019-09-16 08:07

I've had great performance as well, running DX12

**tyven** · 2019-09-16 08:45

I’ve had no performance issues at all on ultra. My computer is good but nothing special.

Excited to meet Ice-T, had no idea he was a VA in this either.

**Tokitoki** · 2019-09-16 08:46

Tyven out here on ultra like "my computer is nothing special" while I'm over here on a mix between medium and low settings getting 40-50 fps.
