>>720710404flip your monitor bro
Ue5 is nightmare engine. Ue4 was fine but ue5? Ouch. Too many games using ue5 struggle maintaining reasonable performance without hammering the machine
>>720710336uses lumen which is always on raytracing that can't be disabled
>>720710671Finally a answer to is RTX on, fuck that sucks hard.
>>720710671Fucking retarded. We need a major backlash against this shit.
>>720710336But look at all this detailed grass!
>>720710336>>720710671Why doesn't Epic optimize their dogshit engine? More normies know about UE5 being shit than they know what a game engine is. Not a good look for their company
>>720710336>just buy 1500 dollar cards every 2-3 years brofuck the ceo. even console upgrade cycles aren't this jewish
i believe them when they say that its not the engine but retarded devs who cannot use it properly and i hate epic

>>720711718>88FPS>Optimized>88Fucking hell
>>720711203>>720711427it allows developers to make levels without having to put a lot of resources into designing lighting themselves. for example, night time with city lights all the areas that should be dimly lit or have reflections will happen automatically. so it saves them time and money and we get a huge hit to performance. Normies are comfortable with 30 fps, for them this game performs great. see consoles
>>720711881GOTTA LOVE UE5i still don't know why it needed to be UE5
Anyone who bought BL4 is a FUCKING RETARD.
>>720711427They do, in fortnite. It's literally a genius plan. Randy gives everyone unoptimized sloppy seconds of his fortnite engine. They make a game on it to "save money". The game runs like complete ass, 95% of people can't run it outright, of those that can nobody wants to relax with blurry input lag mess, so the game dies 1 month max. Everyone goes back to fortnite.Devs are paying Randy to make their games shit and to promote fortnite
>>720711527yeah sweeney was right he's an annoying fucker but his take here was correct, game devs phone it in these days and expect the engine to do all the heavy lifting with no help from their end, you can't run game studios like this forever and its really a problem in the west where they just don't put in the effort they used to, nepotism in hiring practices, dei, and just a lack of concern for the customers experience its all clout on social media and political activism.

>>720712035Just admit you got FOMO'd into buying it because your favorite streamer played it.
>>720711919>i still don't know why it needed to be UE5Because game devs love offloading costs on the consumer.>Oh, buy an RTX card so we don't have to do the lighting ourselves any more.>We'll just have UE5 automate 2% of the workflow while raising system requirements by 50% and not breaking 75fps on top of the line cards.

>>720713917It's really not that hard to understand. Game dev is long and hard hours for bad pay, it's worse than working on microcontrollers. Once the rose tinted glasses start turning brown and you realize you're doing very similar things. Why bother writing, say, a memory allocator for a game when you could write the exact same memory allocator for a banking application, except with normal working hours and 3x the pay?
>>720714413because your creating something for the public, not some banking giants you corporate stooge its not about making the memory allocator its doing it for the consumer so they have a good experience and find joy in gaming, you wouldn't put that kind of passion in a project for bankers.

>>720711919I'm convinced Epic is paying people at this point. These decisions make no sense.
>>720718248They had to break the emergency glass and rush this out because the movie flopped miserably.

>>720719724>no outline on hay, grass or shrubsLooks really weird.
>>720719797no way EU5 runs that badit's all cpu bottlenecks isnt it
>>720710671I used to be a big advocate for Lumen until recently. I liked and still like the way it looks, it's a comprehensive lighting and ray tracing solution that means absolutely everything has lighting detail all of the time, with different colored lights, volumetrics, specular reflections, ambient occlusion and sharp shadows on all objects. In many games with rasterized lighting and even some with ray tracing implementations, the lighting is not as encompassing and you get some scenes or objects which just look flat. Reason I no longer support it is because I started playing Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered. That game looks absolutely spectacular, and has everything I just mentioned above, specular detail on every object, contrasting colored lighting, etc. Everything looks good all the time with full shadow and specular lighting detail on every surface all the time, honestly some of the best graphics I've seen in a game. If not for the janky SSR I'd be fully convinced the lighting is ray-traced as it looks exactly like Star Wars Outlaws with RTXDI. And yet it's all completely smooth, clean looking and free of noise, and runs at 100+fps on a 5090 at 4k native.
>>720719442>did you know that 30% of 4chan is owned by a Japanese toy company named Good Smile Company?quite based of the nips tbqhwy senpaitachi
>>720710336So what is actually taxing performance so hard? I'm squinting at videos and struggling to see what could be so taxing
>>720710404you have to do a Kirk to get it
>>720710586This is a fucking ai post you can't convince me otherwise.
>>720722252>best ports on pc recently have been sony gamesI don't like horizon but it looks pretty and runs great supposedly, I tried a bit of ratchet and it looked CGI at times which was nice.
>>720710336that's the power of firing all the white men and replacing them with outsourced jeets
>>720712623abiotic factor only taxes your system if you have the lighting set to max
A major culprit of the poor performance definitely has to do with the open world. Playing in the fortress missions or the central city area has way better performance than the three open world zones. Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't properly culling the open world and a ton of stuff is being rendered when it shouldn't.
each borderlands game got progressively more janky and had specific levels that caused memory leaks that the community ended up having to patch themselves cause the studio is too busy pushing out new dlc outfits to shill.borderlands TWO - even with all the community patches - still has a few buggy levels most players avoid/limit time in cause they cant even fix em with community patches.borderlands 3? jank as fuck for no reason. requires twice the gpu power of 2. and now 4? looks worse.nevermind how horrible the story and characters have gotten: the game's core, its engine, is jank. which is a shame after how well the first game performed and how good it looked, for how long ago it came out versus what they put out.
>>720725407if I had to guess then max lighting enables lumen?
>>720719724>the textures are all AI generated
>>720725527probably, you'll get reflections on floors and other surfaces with it set to maxi usually keep that on low but have global illumination set to max, thankfully indie devs are competent enough to know i still want lighting, i just don't need reflectionsoddly enough though, the performance is only extremely bad when in the crafting menu, which might be a bug
>>720725463First Borderlands had a memory leak caused by the game storing all map/cutscene data in memory without removing them for some reason
>>720725105Those are amazing games technically the games themselves are mediocre and political but man do the look gorgeous and run like a dream
>>720711718let me guess, to optimize you just turn on frame gen?
I remember getting told "no bro frame gen/upscaling will only be useful for low-end shitty cards you'll still be able to run everything native!" when this crap started to come out.
>>720726973Yeah its called marketing; you thought you weren't responding to Nshitdia employees and game devs? Lmao
>>7207258573D is ... better than 2D?
>>720710336someone's going to admit someday that NVIDIA has been paying these companies to intentionally shittank the performance to force new cards on people

>>720725105It certainly has that CGI feel. That's exactly what I want a game to look like, not exactly like real life, but like a real life toy box, or a 3D animated movie, like Avatar or a Pixar film with all the polish and shine and lighting detail. And as I said I was a massive advocate for ray tracing and Lumen, as before I played HZDR I hadn't seen any games achieve that level of lighting detail without it.
Man I'd be okay with the performance being shit if the game looked amazing, like Crysis in 2007 but these games also look like a blurry shit that make my eyes bleed ON TOP of running like shit.
>>720735810Paying customers accepted everything in your list. For every one of us bitching about it, there are 100 who just don't give a fuck. You may not like this fact, but it doesn't matter.
>>720736056they look blurry as fuck because the actual resolution is sub 1080p which then gets upscaled AND the frames are sub 60 which then get generatedI don't know what the fuck is then taking up all that performance but it results in a experience like you're streaming it

engine does not give a fucking shit about what You think goy
>epic makes a bog standard ass cookiecutter engine designed to let shit devs make games easily and cheaply>shit devs make games easily and cheaply and dont optimize>wow this engine sucks That's more or less the actual point, it's like complaining that those prebuilt PCs suck - no they're designed to be hands off and entry level, you could totally customize one to be excellent, but at that point it's often cheaper to start with your own to begin with (but not always) It's not the prebuilts that are the issue, it's the people who buy them and use them out of the box
