runs like ass compared to it's fidelity, unstable lumen, I/O stutters
runs badly for a game of its scope, lumen is unstable in dim areas (can be somewhat fixed with engine.ini tweaks), doesn't offer hardware lumen.
literally the only good example... BUT, insane shader stutters on PC after every patch or driver update... and by insane, I mean insane. basically unplayable for 3-5 matches at least.
dogshit engine.
but even here, Lumen is unstable and should not be used. thankfully you can basically revert back to the UE4 settings and a DX11 renderer... that doesn't fix the shader stutters but it makes it look not like shit at least.
thankfully uses the RTX branch of Unreal Engine, meaning they use RTX GI and not Lumen. (RTX GI is a confusing name btw. it's not raytraced, it's probe based GI) this means the GI actually looks good and not like pure shit (like in every Lumen game)
heavily modified version of Unreal, which is the only way to make the engine run well and look good btw. anyone using the default branch can't make a good looking game essentially.
the moment Lumen is enabled, the game looks like shit. and there are almost no exceptions to this.
No Lumen, no Nanite, separate branch with better lighting... suddenly a game that runs well and looks good... HOW WEIRD...
interactive movie with zero interactivity outside of walking. barely more than a tech demo essentially. it would have been sad to not have good results at such controlled circumstances. and even then, it was so CPU intensive that they couldn't do a 60fps mode at launch, and had to optimise the game to run at 60fps on console... IN A GAME WHERE BASICALLY NOTHING IS HAPPENING.
such an astonishingly shit engine... it's almost comedic.
etc.. etc.. are "unstable buggy shitshows"? Weird, they ran perfectly for me and looked amazing.
"it runs fine on my PC"
sure man. your magic PC has a way to precompile all of Fortnite's shaders, while noone else's PC can do it. only your magic one.
and your magic PC also makes it so that Lumen doesn't rely to an extreme degree on screen space information, and your magic PC also has its own magic denoiser that magically replaces UE5's shitty denoiser.
