Lords of the Fallen’s Steam reviews improve as performance patch lands, devs advise players not to use graphics settings “their rigs cannot handle”

According to some steam reviews it'd automatically turn on ray tracing if you set some options from med to high, that's why many people were confused why high-end performance is so bad (especially on AMD)
- It says that in the graphics description for both of those options (reflections and global illumination). While I think those being separate toggles should have helped being able to work with graphics options (and optimize for your device) should be a basic requirement for playing on a PC
  
  I just wish the optimize for your device worked. I feel like when a game has it, it always sets the setting way lower then needed.
Is it contractually obligatory for UE5 devs to blame the people buying their product for the shit performance?
- Hey some people over fucking estimate their shit tier rigs.
  
  But if your game runs like shit on the top of the line consoles too, then maybe the problem is the developer.
  Only in PC gaming can they get away with blaming the customer.
- Creation Engine devs like to do it as well. Seems to be a general thing in the industry
- Idk, I'd really like to play this on my PS5 however the PS5 version of the game only runs at 1080p upscaled.
  
  Should have put a better GPU in your PS5 obviously
Yeah this was a messy one. But I used their default settings and it was jumping frames everywhere. Can't really blame the consumers. Also, intro cutscene has been about 10-20 frames. I know a 2080 TI isn't new but its not supremely ancient either.
- Yeah having reflections or global illumination above medium automatically turns on raytracing. Setting both to medium should give good performance.
  
  My point being, the only thing I did was cap fps to 60. Their default settings did everything else. Also, the intro video plays before you can change any settings. How is it the consumer's fault if even that is running terrible? Lol
- Huh I have a 2060 and it runs fine at 1920x1440
  Just clicked auto set and forgot. a few drops during cutscenes.
  Maybe a driver issue for your card vs mine? Did you update drivers and rebuild the cached texture thingy
  
  Check my comment down below. I updated my drivers beforehand.
Anyone tested it on proton?
- Rated 'Gold', ie. crashes no more or less than Windows.

That’s that Dark Souls DLC, right?
The number one reason for poor performance was outdated GPU drivers. The average game is a moron.
- i have latest drivers on my gtx1060, why it still runs slow on 4K ultra??
  
  Either missing a /s or a grip on reality
