Oh, cool. I was kind of hoping that because it's a game i've purchased but haven't looked into yet.

Be careful with this game, it has damaged something in my computer... it's really unstable now. hope it's not the graphics card. When i played it i used my VR headset so i didn't hear how fast the fans speeded up at first, but then there was a loud rattling that eventually caught my attention, like a fan that is spinning so fast that its about to fly off or something.

turned off the computer. restarted and checked temp and such, i noticed how high the FPS goes in menus and so forth, it's in the thousands and it puts immense strain on the graphics card, the game itself even on ultra also runs with hundreds of FPS. so its a must to cap the FPS or it will make your computer work like crazy.

I have a hard time even booting the PC now and its very unstable. I'll look for a new PSU first i guess...


After the New World issue last year I made sure to set a fps limit in the Nvidia Control Panel to be safe as at the time people did mention other games doing what you described by having the framerate uncapped in the menus and seeing the fps reaching into the 1000s.

The good thing about this game is that you can play it in VR, which makes it 1000x better.
