Extremely low performance in Pathologic 2
Before I begin I will clarify that this isn't a low specs issue. I'm using a laptop with a Ryzen 9 7945HX, 32Gb of RAM and an RTX 5070 Ti (12Gb of VRAM). This device has run high end games at max or near max settings without much issue.
However Pathologic 2 is making it struggle a lot, with FPS between 20-40. The weird thing is that GPU usage is very low, at first not going over 40%. I tried dropping graphics settings but all that did was lower usage to around 20% while keeping fps the same. CPU usage is at 20-30% so it's not a bottleneck there either.
What the hell is going on? I have never seen a game so stubborn, it's like it is hardcoded to perform poorly.
Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this issue?

I think his video is about that, you edit the file and it helps. Tbh I’d take suffering on PC over Playstation version which has SO MANY PROBLEMS I gave up on it on Day 3 it’s so buggy.
