The game's optimization is severely lacking, rendering it nearly unplayable for many users. Players report drastic frame rate drops, particularly when using optics, with some experiencing as low as 5 frames per second and noticeable input lag, despite having capable hardware.
- “Basically unplayable, it's so badly optimized.”
- “Whenever I look through the optics, the game goes down to 5 frames a second. I don't know if it's because of the poor performance, but there is a noticeable delay between control commands. My computer can run Boneworks and Half-Life: Alyx just fine, so I don't understand how this one indie game can ruin the frames this badly.”
