    Weirdly, the worst frame drops are in the cut scenes.

    When you’re in New Atlantis, taking mass transit anywhere, the train pulls out of the station at a good 5-10 fps.

      It’s because the cut scenes are also loading screens so they actually have a lot going on. I’ve been playing on xbox series x and it runs as well as you’d expect on a console, so not really complaining there. I’m having fun at least, j7st need to keep away from all the negativity surrounding the game.

        You would think that, for a static loading screen, that’s the same every time, it would just be a video clip and not generated live, in engine.
