Star Wars Jedi Survivor

[KAC]

Down pumping now. Can't believe there is no talk about this game here. Most anticipated Star Wars title and not a single nerd in sight.
Heard tons of bugs and performance issues on PC. Perfect day 1 release game. I will wait for patches or two before indulging. Apparently game is dope af.

[SD-[Inc]]

This seems like a game for dual sense controller. So PS5 for me.

[DeathKnight]

Will sub to EA Play Pro again. I may wait for patches too if it's got a lot of issues on PC.

[Mangler]

Peeps are saying that it is a trainwreck, it wants 18GB of vram at 1440p or something insane like that.

No idea if that is with the day one patch or not though.

[KAC]

18 GB is available for me.

[pax]

45 fps at 1440p wtf how did they screw this one up so bad...

[Nagorak]

Yeah those of us with 4090s might be able to run it.

[Nagorak]

I got a copy from the AMD Promotion, so I will load it up and see how it runs. It unlocks in 41 minutes.

Edit: So, on a 7800X3D and RTX 4090 at 1440P Epic quality with Ray Tracing I'm getting 80-100 FPS on the first level. However, the game seems to be very CPU limited, since my GPU utilization is only at 80-90%.

I went into the options and toggled ray tracing off and then back on, and after that I was getting 45 FPS, but it was fixed after restarting the game. So it seems like there is some bug when changing settings that can lead to bad performance.

Disabling ray tracing or lowering quality reduced my GPU utilization to 40-50% but didn't increase my frame rates at all, once again suggesting a heavy CPU bottleneck.The game also looked pretty bad without ray tracing.

Considering I have an absolutely top of the line PC and am getting sub 100 FPS, and can't get more FPS by lowering settings, you can argue the game runs pretty poorly.

Other thoughts: The camera seems really sluggish, making it feel like you're getting worse FPS than you are.

The menus are weird in that you can't just click the left or right arrows on the screen to to change a setting, instead the mouse click selects and unselects the item and then you have to change the actual setting using WASD. It's definitely not intuitive for how a PC settings menu usually works.

If you quit during the tutorial fight, then when you reload the game it's bugged and you can't continue.

[KAC]

Wow, this game is a blast. I am running 4K and usually hovering from 45-70 fps. Did maybe 3-4 meditation spots. Cal is such a bad ass. Really enjoying it.
However, performance issues need to be fixed. I am not using FSR2 as it does absolutely nothing. 4K Epic settings and RT on for now. There is very limited RT in the first level btw. I am sure game is going to hitch bad once I hit outside levels but for now it is very playable.
But the bad assery is just amazing!

[KAC]

Outside it is even better. Pushing 80-90 fps in first open world. Game like dope.

[demo]

I got a copy from the AMD Promotion, so I will load it up and see how it runs.

Thanks for reminding me, forgot about the promotion. Unfortunately I didn't get a code sent to me, so I phoned the store and they can't re-process the order to generate code for some reason until Monday...

Star Wars Jedi Survivor PC Review: The Worst Triple-A PC Port of 2023... So Far

Meanwhile EA is doing damage control by suggesting that their customers should use the latest drivers and by saying stuff that only a minority is suffering from these issues.

[KAC]

Not sure what everyone is going on about. Game is running fine for me. Epic settings and 4K with RT at 90 fps in second planet. Going to start boning it again as I am on last boss fight in Resident Babysitter 4.

[koralis]

Read an article pinning it down to being CPU bound. Could be that some people have CPUs that the game doesn't optimize for, and/or aren't as strong as yours. As CPU being a real limitation hasn't really been a thing for years, I could see it.

[Mangler]

The console version doesn't seem to be that good, it has plenty of frame rate drops too, it does seem to have better frame times though.

The quality mode seems to get REALLY cinematic near large bodies of water though, so maybe that is the true difference maker.

[SD-[Inc]]

Not sure why the decided to not make ray tracing optional on PS5. It’s a frame rate killer on all platforms.

[KAC]

There isn’t much RT in this game.

[theshadowcult]

Hows the sereni... hows the visual style in games? Does it feel good with the more clone wars style graphics, or is it weird?

[KAC]

Graphics style is amazing. I am loving it ALOT!
Haters gonna hate but I am enjoying the f out of it.

[nutcrackr]

Played one hour. Ran pretty bad on low or high settings, but was playable. Coruscant looks amazing.

Tried to patch the game, and it got stuck, patching broke it. Had to uninstall and will redownload again. EA App has been okay up until now.

[A2597]

I'll be holding off for a sale. Have such a backlog that even though I'm itching to play this, I could spend the next year just playing backlog games.
...but I really want to play it. haha

[DeathKnight]

Game is running great for me with all settings maxed (7900XTX). Using FSR Quality at 4K to keep it smooth.

[KAC]

Turn off MSI AB to avoid hitching.

[Munkus]

Fun game so far. No crashes or hitches for me, but I've got high-end hardware (13900K + 4090 +64Gb RAM). Getting over 90fps consistently at 3440x1440 on Epic settings with RT on.

[KAC]

Really no stuttering? That’s something. Crashes only happen on Jedha for me. Hitches happen on Koboh.

Game is absolutely dope. Might be an AMD only feature I guess.

[nutcrackr]

Haven't had a single crash yet, but performance isn't great. KOBOH runs poor. JEDHA runs well. They need to do some huge geometry / portal / foliage optimizations on koboh because it's a hog. For me it's playable and I've seen worse performers but such a shame this isn't 30% smoother.

overall i like it, better than the first. combat is pretty fun this time (easier?) and stances are nice. it's structured pretty well in terms of the saloon story stuff and rumors etc. The platforming feels better and there is more space between the obstacle course pieces. More time with mirren which is good too.

Oddly enough, the only stuttering I see is during the loading screen when the EA logo appears. Once I'm in-game, everything is smooth. Could be because I'm not running at 4K.

[DeathKnight]

Patch 4 should be out for PC sometime this week. They supposedly have fixes that should help alleviate the traversal hitching.

[nutcrackr]

Still has some bad framerate drops after the patch.

[KAC]

Felt much better than pre patch to me.

[Trunks0]

At least it's getting support. I just hope that by the time it's free for GamePass it's all sorted out

[nutcrackr]

Played and finished it. Cancelled my subs to EA Pro Play Extreme Ultra because I'm done with the game.

8/10 overall. Enjoyed it much more than the first one because platforming is slicker and quicker. Combat is fun with the extra stances. I used blaster and crossguard for most of the game since they worked fairly nicely together. The exploration asepcts feel much better this time around as you have animals that can transport you across planets, lots and lots of shortcuts, plus fast travel between meditation spots. Story had some decent aspects too. I went back and played a few hours after finishing to clean up some areas I wanted to revisit. There are definitely lots of things to see and find. Koboh is pretty massive.

[KAC]

Finished it. Had to turn down difficulty for last boss. Might continue boning to finish sides.

[DeathKnight]

Completed the game. Loved it, save for the performance issues. All the patches definitely helped but Koboh still has some lingering problems. Put in about 41.5 hours. Still have stuff left over to do. GOTY for me so far.

[jimjobob]

Just picked it up and played a little of the first level so far. Really surprised there's no DLSS option. Playing at 4k maxed only getting around 60fps with the 4090. Character movement seemes like its from 2001 though which is odd given how well the last game was done.

[KAC]

DLSS would've done wonders for this game.
As for character movement, I think it is pretty similar to first one.
Yes, FPS does dip to 60s often. However, some places it hovers around 70-90 fps as well. It really is a mixed bag in terms of performance.
I had a blast with it and actually even after finishing the game I am still going around trying to 100% planets which is revealing quite a lot of boss fights, story elements and also bounties. A fun time all around for me.

[Lurk]

Hovering around 60 with occasional spikes to 70 and 90, options mixed high/epic, RT and hdr on, 4080 at 1440p UW, at times the lighting can be jaw-dropping. Exploration is really really fun and in some instances the level of polish is astounding, less so in others.
Really enjoying it, playing slow hoping for more patches.
Pretty much my story with gpu's has been that whichever brand I choose, games I wish to play which are optimized for the competition start pouring in. Not sure if funny.

[KAC]

Don’t worry, this game is optimized for no hardware

I am surprised you like this so much. I just started and it’s a very Souls-lite type of game. I like it. Sort of surprised you dropped out of Elden Ring so fast if you like this type of gameplay. I guess the big difference is you start as a Jedi in this game and start as a pathetic tarnished in Elden Ring. Combat isn’t that different. Dodge + counter was easy to defeat the first Inquisitor. I am only still escaping Corusant which is the starter level. But, the layout and exploration potential seems low. I am sure later levels will be better. My biggest problem is I keep attacking with R1 constantly. Been programmed by too many hours in other Souls games.
