DRAGON'S DOGMA 2 PC FRAME RATE ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED TO PROTECT INNOCENT PLAYERS

Mar 21, 2024 10:36 AM

Capcom's latest RPG offering, Dragon's Dogma 2, has hit a snag on PC with players experiencing frame rate issues. The developer has acknowledged the problem lies in the way non-player characters (NPCs) are rendered, potentially overtaxing the CPU when numerous NPCs crowd the scene. Capcom is currently exploring options to enhance performance. In the meantime, a joking suggestion from the game's community proposes a "tactic" to improve frame rates by reducing the in-game population, i.e., eliminating NPCs. While this approach is not recommended, fans are creating humorous content around the idea. Players hopeful for a smoother experience are anticipating official patches, but can still delve into the comprehensive Dragon's Dogma 2 review available on various platforms.

What are some methods to improve frame rates in Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC?

To boost frame rates in Dragon's Dogma 2, players can try adjusting in-game graphic settings, updating their graphics drivers, or potentially wait for official patches from Capcom meant to address performance issues.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action role-playing video game developed and published by Capcom, serving as the sequel to the original 2012 game Dragon's Dogma. Set in a high fantasy world, players embark on an epic adventure with deep character customization, engaging combat, and an innovative "pawn" system, where players can recruit AI-controlled allies with unique abilities and traits. The original Dragon's Dogma was applauded for its expansive world and innovative mechanics, setting high expectations for its sequel among fans and newcomers alike.
