Dishonored 2 on PC Has Issues
On Friday, Bethesda released Dishonored 2 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. The day after release we told you about some issues impacting the PC version of the game and we learned that Arkane Studios has promised a patch for Dishonored 2 on PC to improve the game’s performance. They state both the patch and its release notes will be available, “in the coming days.” Dishonored 2 game director Harvey Smith, has taken to Twitter to talk about the game’s performance issues on PC.
On Twitter, Smith expressed frustrations about the game’s pc performance, but both Arkane and Bethesda have reassured fans that an update is inbound. While Smith has been quite vocal on Twitter regarding the performance issues, some of this tweets seem to have been misread by the community, stating that the game would require a GTX 1070 at minimum to run in 1080p@60FPS on very low settings. Clearly this is not what Smith meant, and his Tweet was deleted.
“That rig on very low and 1080 should run around 60fps” the game director Tweeted initially when asked about performance on a certain setup. In a more recent set of Tweets, the game director has once again confirmed that an update is inbound, although there is no ETA yet. According to Smith, the performance issues due to bad optimization are totally “on” Arkane, and no one is more “frustrated” that some players and configurations are having problems.
@TheGerro totally on us – no one is more frustrated that some players/configs have problems
