#WhereWindsMeet shows incredible visual potential thanks to its gorgeous art direction.
However, its performance stability and graphics menu are slightly less impressive and could use some refinement.

A new Hotfix (1.2.3) for #DyingLightTheBeast dropped today aiming to fix DLSS FG stuttering.
I briefly tested it and I can confirm that Reflex/DLSS FG stuttering is fixed.
But the toggle issue hasn’t been fixed, you still need to restart the game when disabling Reflex or DLSS FG.

Just got access to #SILENTHILLf
First impression are mostly positive:
-Not many settings, but given it’s UE5, what's available is sufficient.
-Performance is mostly stable, aside from the usual traversal stutters.
Overall, it seems like a decent UE5 release.

#Borderlands4 is a demanding UE5 game.
Gearbox went all in on UE5 features, and performance took a big hit.
Thankfully, the game offers plenty of tweakable settings, and maxing them out isn’t worth it.

#CronosTheNewDawn is an excellent survival horror game, probably Bloober’s best original title.
But technical issues hold it back, and it's difficult to run on 8GB GPUs.
With a few settings tweaks and console commands, though, it runs much smoother👇

#CronosTheNewDawn is a nightmare on the 3060 Ti. the 8GB of VRAM gets maxed out even at the lowest settings with balanced upscaling.
Luckily, The console command "r.Streaming.PoolSize" saved the day. smoother performance without major visual sacrifices.

#HellisUs is a solid UE5 release. Rogue Factor put real effort into optimization, as shown by the improved performance in the second demo.
Some issues, like occasional traversal stutters, persist, but overall it’s better than most recent UE5 releases.

I tried #CronosTheNewDawn earlier thanks to Bloober Team & Streamers Connected
-The graphics menu is quite similar to Silent Hill 2.
-Hardware Lumen is supported but extremely demanding and adds little visually (in the early areas).
-Game is also heavy on VRAM, could be rough on 8GB GPUs.

Another issue I noticed in this broken game is that whenever particles (especially dust) spawn near the camera, performance drops significantly.
The only solution I found is to disable these particles entirely using:
[SystemSettings]
fx.EnableNiagaraSpriteRendering=0

In #MGSDelta , you’ll want to avoid not just Ultra, but Low as well, since it looks terrible with no shadows or proper lighting.
The funny part is, even with those low visuals, the 3060 Ti can’t hold 60fps at 1440p DLSS Quality, which says a lot about this game’s optimization.

Finally got access to #MGSDelta (not thanks to Konami).
This is a technical disaster on every front.
Performance is abysmal and the game only offers 3 graphics settings !!!
they even messed up DLSS/FSR/TSR modes, “Quality” is actually Ultra Quality, and “Balanced” is Quality.
