The Erdtree is sadly overshadowed by some performance issues:
- FPS capped to 60, but "feels" less sometimes. Rarely dips into 40-50 FPS, lowest or max settings don't matter.
- Noticeable micro-stuttering
- Still no ultra-wide support (black-bars)
- No DLSS / No Frame generation
They had so much time to upgrade the technical side of the game, especially for PC players, and they did not use the chance. Using mods to fix said problems were developed ages ago, and will unfortunately result in a BAN from online play!

Specs: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, Trident Z Neo 32 GB DDR4-3600 (B-Die, XMP enabled), RTX 4080 (latest drivers), installed on SSD
Resolution: 1440p
My CPU usage is <40% while playing the game.

The game is super fun and i encourage everyone to play it! I explored big parts of the DLC already. My opinion on the technical state of the game remains unchanged. The desire to have DLSS/Frame generation obviously makes sense with an uncapped framerate.
Micro-stuttering comes and goes. Slowdown during boss fights still happen occasionally.

Sweet, wonderful tears of casuals who can't over level or use cheese builds for the DLC.

people who say "maybe its a hardware issue" or "upgrade your parts" when thousands of people are saying they have the same issue, sell your PC and use that money to pay for a lobotomy. IF YOU SUGGEST TO MOD THE GAME TO FIX IT YOU NEED TO EAT BROKEN GLASS BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY SHOULD NOT BE THE ONES TO FIX THE GAME
