Detailed community reports and sourced reports behind the score.

  1. Sourced reportgamingonsteam.com3 / 5Playable800p, Custom preset, 30 FPS target

    Early Access local profile at 1280x800, in-game 30-FPS limit, TSR Balanced with its 30-FPS target, texture filtering Low, VSync and motion blur off. Daytime play is good, but nighttime shimmering and high power draw remain. The 30 FPS value is a configured cap/target, not an achieved average. GeForce NOW results are excluded.
