The game's optimization has been criticized for significant performance issues, particularly during magic effects, which can cause frame rates to plummet to around 5 fps, necessitating game restarts. Players also report a blurry visual experience or low fps when adjusting SteamVR resolution settings, indicating that optimization improvements are needed.
- “You either play in a blurry mess (which isn't that bad, to be fair), or play with low FPS using SteamVR resolution settings. It might be my system as well, but there's really nothing in this game that justifies such poor performance, in my opinion.”
- “There are performance issues that need to be addressed. Whenever there is any type of magic involved, like fire, the FPS dips to around 5 FPS, and I need to restart the game.”
