I was only just saying this! How every publisher cramming their own launcher in front of PC games is a huge pain in the ass! And now we’ve obtained an instance of a launcher not simply being a ache within the ass, however instantly—and in some circumstances considerably—affecting a recreation’s efficiency!
As RPS and others report, the 2K launcher that fires up each time you attempt to play Marvel’s Midnight Suns isn’t only a gentle annoyance, it’s also having an impact on gameplay, with customers tracing points with each stutters and general framerate dips to the presence of the launcher.
Framerate dips are an general drawback, one which builders Firaxis have stated they’ll be attempting to handle in an upcoming patch, however they’re additionally particularly associated to the launcher as a result of individuals have labored out that for those who disable the launcher then your framerates enhance. Typically by a lot. Science!
I began enjoying the sport this week and whereas I wasn’t experiencing any stutters, I used to be getting bizarre framerate dips in sections (and for a recreation) that my {hardware} ought to have been greater than OK with. And hey, whaddya know, as quickly as I disabled the launcher my points went away and it was all easy crusing.
RPS posted some helpful instructions on how to do this in their post. It’s nothing excessive; just a few folder searching and gentle modifying of the command line used to launch the sport. Alternatively, you possibly can watch this vid:
As for the sport’s different points, like some cloud save hiccups and its basic unwillingness to run properly on the Steam Deck (for which it’s at the moment “not verified”), Firaxis say “the team is working hard” on a repair that will likely be addressed in an “upcoming patch”.
