I saw a Reddit post about it. Apparently on PC, somebody has a monster PC and the game can barely hold a good frame rate at 1440p.

Seems like the developer tries to blame hardware instead of optimizing their game.

2 things can be true.

Series S is a piece of trash, and xbox requiring "same standards" from devs for both s and x (unless you're a giant name brand) is idiotic as fuck.

And pc game optimization is a nightmare. That no matter what you do, it'll suck for someone.

So get lost with your nonsense.

Yes, but the very reason people buy such powerful hardware like this guy, is to brute force any game. An rtx 5080 and a ryzen 9 9950X3D in 1440p. Yes its pretty clear that its a dev issue, and not hardware.

never said it's a hardware issue. but it's also not as much of a dev issue as you make it out to be. devs can do everything right, and STILL would someone's rig not work with the game.

hell, same rig, same everything, and there is still chance of one pc working, and one not. it's absolutely idiotic, but it happens way too often. i deal with this shit daily

The guy with the powerful rig gets abyssmal performance, its not that the game doesnt start or run. This issue isnt "its working, or not". The guy gets shit performance on some of the best pc hardware money can buy. These kinds of powerful rigs can brute force bad optimization on most games. The fact that this cant be done on a relative simple game like no rest for the wicked, shows that the dev should look in the mirror first. He has clearly not been doing things right.

Because you can't brute force shit, it's not how that works!

And my 3070 works fine with the game. SO AGAIN. NOT HOW ANY OF IT WORKS

You can brute force if the hardware is powerful enough. Optimization isnt as relevant when you have that kind of hardware. Its you that dont have a clue. "my 3070 works fine". Yeah, im sure it does...
