As promised, the team behind Jedi: Survivor has released new patch For the game, it addresses some bugs and performance issues related to the PC version. These issues include performance issues in non-ray-traced graphics modes, game crashes, bugs related to VFTX, AI, cinematics, and more. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles will get these same fixes tomorrow.
To get a sense of the general situation, Jedi: Survivor became one of the most controversial game launches in recent memory within days of its launch due to the game’s anomalous performance issues on PC hardware. In fact, Digital Foundry is calling out: Jedi: Survivor As Worst Triple A Port of 2023 So Far. Issues surrounding the game include severe framerate drops, general framerate drops, insane VRAM utilization, and near-constant micro-stuttering when navigating the game world. And it doesn’t even mention game-breaking bugs.
Game performance issues started happening one day before the game was released, with reviewers and content creators reporting severe performance issues in pre-release versions of the game. The worst review reported that the powerful GeForce RTX 4090 can’t even run games at his steady 60FPS, regardless of the graphics settings used.
The game’s launch date impressions from both reviewers and gamers haven’t been as good, with many reporting similar performance issues. Jedi: SurvivorThankfully, games now appear playable for most people, but many game videos, reviews, and reports indicate playable frame rates, and in some cases 60+ frame rates. ( hardware unpacked). Gaming performance is still far from perfect, though.
However, it should be noted that my experience with the RTX 2060 Super and Ryzen 7 5800X3D gaming machine has been surprisingly good.i was playing Jedi: Survivor Ever since launch, I regularly average 40s playable performance. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s still playable. After many tweaks to the game’s graphics, I have to restart the game after changing graphics settings to get normal performance, and the game’s RT I’ve found that the mode is currently very unoptimized. Also, with Nvidia Ultra Low Latency enabled, Jedi: Survivor Very useful for minimizing system lag.
The general consensus is that the game suffers greatly due to texture optimizations made for the PC version of the console, which was not designed for PC hardware.how big Jedi: SurvivorIn the world of , we need to store a lot of textures and assets in memory to completely prevent microstuttering. The latest generation of consoles can keep all this data without slowing down because the CPU and GPU share memory. PC hardware does not do this, and data must be constantly transferred from system RAM to dedicated GPU VRAM, resulting in slower performance.
Another issue also confirmed by EA is related to improper CPU optimizations that slow down the game’s performance. The game seems to be under-utilizing threads and he can’t effectively use more than 2 threads at a time. However, the exact issue surrounding the CPU bottleneck is still unknown and highly speculative, so any opinions on the subject are welcome.

Thankfully, EA has promised to fix the game’s misoptimization on PC, and it’s already starting to deliver on that promise with this new patch. However, the patch notes are primarily focused on bug fixes rather than performance optimizations, with only one sentence addressing improving the game’s performance on PC, the raytraced graphics pipeline. Applies only to parts that are not
Other bugs worth mentioning include crashes related to skipping cinematics, issues with cloth physics, collision issues, AI issues, VFX issues, and saving after leaving the Chamber of Duality. Includes a fix for a critical issue that could cause you to get stuck in the Chamber of Duality if you weren’t. Died.
With limited playtime for the patch, the first update on the RTX 2060 Super/Ryzen 7 5800X3D gaming machine proved overwhelming. I haven’t seen any notable micro-stuttering or game frame rate fixes. But I’m just a test subject, so don’t take the results for granted. My system may not benefit from the optimizations Respawn has added to the game.
