The optimization of the game is inconsistent; while it generally performs well on high-end hardware, users report occasional unexpected hangs or pauses that disrupt the experience.
“Performance – this is a bit of an oddball; most of the time processing seems pretty fast, but then it has the occasional hang or pause for no reason (on a Core i9 13900KS / 96GB RAM / 2TB NVMe SSD / RTX 4080, so specs are obviously not the issue).”
