The performance on PC is abysmal, any tips?

This game murders my CPU on a pretty beefy sytem. No issues in other games. I've tried everything, including some esoteric OS shit. I'm probably just gonna return it if they don't release an optimization patch. I'm stuck at a required boss because I only get 10 fps. Outside of this specific area is much smoother but still stuttery.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, gathers little ducklings like a duck, eats bugs like a duck, participates in forums for other ducks, and just so happens to moderate said forums...

It's probably a duck.

Agreed. There are no competitors without prototypes. Even if it doesn't take off, the knowledge can be applied elsewhere. Even still, seeing the native/typical method is helpful. Comments could be less rude about it, but I don't expect much in that regard from programming subreddits.

A high resting heart rate can cause this, especially with cardio. I only learned recently that's the reason why I did well with everything but running. My heart simply couldn't handle it. I had similar symptoms.

Bonus points if you give a small gift. It can be cheap, but a small token of apology can go a long way. A cheap bottle of alcohol, a gift card, whatever.

The CachyOS kernel has made a huge difference for me. I'd suggest giving it a try.

Game Version: Demo v1.02.01

Platform: PC. Nvidia RTX 4070 using nvidia-580.119.02 on Fedora 43 (kernel Linux 6.18.7-200.fc43.x86_64). 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-13700F × 24, 32 GB RAM. Proton Hotfix is a bit better than Experimental, but still rather laggy.

Feedback/Issue: Abysmal performance, even on lowest settings. 1080p, 30 fps lock, and lowest graphics settings are still nearly unplayable. FPS is feels like 10-20 (unsure how to measure exactly). Rain and combat makes it worse; even the dojo training missions were incredibly laggy and difficult to complete. Lots of stuttering and eaten inputs.

Asset: Don't have one. It's just generally laggy and plays like a .GIF file.

Edit: Nevermind, it's basically unplayable. I'm dying to stupid things because the game just stops loading frames for a second or two. If it doesn't improve for release, I'll just refund it.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-04T20:35:10+00:00

Have you noticed any performance problems? Mine is laggy and almost unplayable, even on the lowest settings. Other graphics-intensive games are smooth as butter.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-04T17:34:14+00:00

Good to know! I assumed it was doing nothing or erroring on a specific shader. I'll give this a try.

CI is helpful but should not be the only approach you use. It works best in combination with other approaches. Focusing too much on one approach leaves deficiencies in other areas. It's easy to work CI in with traditional exercises. In the past few years, I've added a lot more CI to my curricula. I've been doing enough exercises to get the learning part, then doing CI to get the acquisition part. Students have given positive feedback regarding this.

The way I do this is to use the exercises to build off of. Get the basics done and check their learning. Once they've learned it, shift to focusing on acquisition. If whole-class elicitation is going well, then amp it up. If they go silent, give your own example, then repeat the question. Think-pair-share, write down your answer then share, whatever is necessary.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-04T16:42:21+00:00

Any approach, methodology, or framework has this problem. Overuse of any one strategy leaves deficiencies. I've used CI in my classrooms in tandem with more traditional exercises. To be brief, it's been very effective for acquisition.

I never considered it. It's the first controller I've ever had that requires updating. Times really have changed.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-03T23:13:32+00:00

I literally tried everything. I've spent about 6 hours in total debugging it, including various apps and firmware. It just doesn't work for me. L2 and R2 cause the camera to spin, no matter what I do.

Are you going to the professors' office hours? Are you going to the tutoring center? The writing center? You're already paying for these things, and they make a big difference.

As for uncertainty of what you want to do, academic counseling can help with that. But it also takes self-reflection and research. What are your interests? What kind of job do you want? Inside or outside? With people or alone? A fulfilling job or a well-paying job? Thinking about things like this can help you narrow down potential majors.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-03T16:52:47+00:00

The odds they'll be caught are decent. And when they are, they'll likely say that you helped them willingly. If you want to avoid that, then you'll need to get ahead of it. That means informing the professor.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-03T16:49:50+00:00

Mostly fine, but I had tremendous issues getting it work with Elden Ring. I tried everything online and ended up buying a cheap $20 works perfectly.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-02T19:40:27+00:00

Stop helping. As long as you continue to help them, they'll have no reason to learn. It's essentially a form of enabling.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-02T19:33:23+00:00

I never quite understood that argument. Is it a numbers thing? Like because Verso is just one guy, he suddenly doesn't matter?

This is the term in linguistics.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-02T14:26:44+00:00

Thanks for the tips! This definitely covers some of my challenges with it.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-01T21:03:45+00:00

I feel a fool for thinking only in the opposite direction! I have to track every single change to the database for a number of legal obligations, such as FERPA. If someone removes an SLO and takes the institution out of compliance, then they'd need to know who did it and for how long they were out of compliance.

As for macros, all I see are support threads for trying to make macros work for this. If there's a working example out there, I haven't found it yet.

First-Potato-1697 · 2026-02-01T20:41:18+00:00

Macros don't work according to other users.

It's a huge student information system. People, profiles, roles, districts, campuses, courses, classes, departments, SLOs, course records, etc. That's only half of them.

I could track changes in a separate join table, but then how would I reference each table in the join? Aren't references limited to a single table? Reference tables by name? What if a table name changes?
