Hi there,
After installing this game, and reading other topics here/on Reddit, I’ve come to the conclusion that there seems to be something up with the Shadows in this game.
My specs are as follows:
16GB Ram
i7 4790
GTX 1080
Game installed on SSD
Windows 10
My computer can run most games on my 144Hz monitor at 144fps, with little drops (Call of Duty, Gears 5, etc.), so I can exclude hardware problems.
When turning “Shadows” to “Low” in Predator, however, my fps gets a massive boost - nearly 110/100 - no other setting affects fps at all like this, even with everything else on “Cinematic”.
Drivers updated, computer thoroughly physically cleaned, the only game I have this issue with is this one. Additionally, I can’t play on “Low” shadows, because frankly, the game looks horrid without them.
Other users have reported “View Distance” being the offending setting, but that can go hand in hand with Shadows. Regardless, there are key unoptimised sections of this game that give a sub-par experience for some PC players (who have strong PC rigs). My friend has a significantly ‘weaker’/older PC than me, but his game runs absolutely fine.
Please fix this! Either by driver update with Nvidia, or optimisation on your end. I love this game, but I get a massive headache after not even half a round because of the choppiness and slow fps. It’s especially bad on Fireteam because of the first-person perspective that really messes up with the choppiness from the shadows…
Many thanks.
