At 30fps if you call that verified
That's fine honestly, provided it's smooth. In the video, there was a fair amount of hitching though...
For day one, performance is actually fine. I have much bigger gripes than getting fps dips in the open zones. Like levelling ffs. I have 100 strength, willpower, and blades, but am doing less damage to mobs now than I was doing in the beginning of the game. Or levelled loot drops and quests.
The key to oblivion is to pick tag skills that you won't use. If your build is a stealth archer, pick block blunt and restore. You only level when your tagged skills level, so your archery illusion and sneak will be 100 but your character will be sub level 10 so you'll basically be a god
There are mods that help with this
So ... just like the original Oblivion?
Its Lumen. Its 100% Lumen.
If somebody didn't realize it was almost certainly going to run poorly the second it was revealed to use UE5, I wouldn't even know what to say to them.
Can we please stop blaming UE5 for sloppy development and poor QA?
I'm not blaming UE5, but I'm capable of pattern recognition. There's a pattern of developers not fixing UE5 issues and releasing games with them still present. The fault lies with both game developers and UE developers.
You just touched on the problem, which is a confluence of Base Rate Neglect and Availability Bias.
UE is the most popular gaming engine, so it’s used on the most projects and has a high amount of visibility. No matter which engine you build a game with, there are many factors to keep in mind for performance, compatibility, and stability. The engine doesn’t do that for you.
One problem is that big studios build games for consoles first, since it’s easiest to build for predictable systems. PC then gets ignored, is minimally tested, and patched up after the fact. Another is “Crysis syndrome”, where developers push for the best graphics they can manage and performance, compatibility, and stability be damned - if it certifies for the target consoles, that is all that matters. There is also the factor of people being unreasonable about their hardwares capabilities, expecting that everything should always be able to run maxxed out forever… and developers providing options that push the cutting edge of modern (or worse, hypothetical future) hardware compounds the problem. But none of these things have anything to do with the engine, but what developers themselves make on top of the engine.
A lot of the responses to me so far have been “that’s stupid because” and then everything after “because” is related to individual game development, NOT the engine. There is nothing wrong with UE, but there are lots of things wrong with game/software development in general that really should be addressed.
As soon as someone releases a UE5 game that doesn’t run like ass
Avowed ran well for me.
Fortnite, Wukong, Tekken 8, Layers of Fear, Firmament, Everspace 2, Dark and Darker, Abiotic Factor, STALKER 2, Jusant, Frostpunk 2, Satisfactory, Expedition 33, Inzoi, Immortals of Aveum, Starship Troopers: Extermination, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Lords of the Fallen, Robocop, Myst (UE5 remake), Riven (UE5 remake), Palworld, Remanant 2, Hellblade 2, Subnautica 2… and the list keeps growing.
When a big studio skips QA and releases a broken game, it’s not the engine’s fault, it’s the studios fault. As long as consumers tolerate broken games that can maybe be fixed later (if we’re lucky) then companies will keep releasing broken, unfinished, unpolished, untested games. Blaming UE5 is like blaming an author’s word processor for a poorly written novel.
Well that's a pretty shit list. You have there games that aren't using UE5 (Layers of Fear 2), that are known to have poor performance (STALKER 2), that just released into early access (Inzoi) and that haven't even released into early access (Subnautica 2).
I'd throw half the list out the window, actually probably more because the other half of the list are mostly games I don't know enough to evaluate their performance.
Also, “I don’t know what I’m talking about, so your list is invalid” isn’t the dig you seem to think it is.
Satisfactory alone would be enough, the game runs so smoothly for the amount of shit going on there, it's amazing.
Idk I think the only one of those on that list that I’ve played that ran well enough that I’d consider it ok was tekken and I’m assuming that’s more because it’s a fighting game.

Yes. It runs like dog water. And it seems people are just looking past it because of the nostalgia effect.
And this is why I don't buy day 1. Performance actually looks reasonable compared to other day 1 releases, but it's still not what I want to play. I bet most of these issues will be resolved in a month or two, and definitely resolved by the first sale, so I'll hold off. It's not like there's going to suddenly be content to miss out on, it's a remaster, so waiting is absolutely reasonable.
My FPS drops from 60 to like 25, but that's rarely. It's not like it's a constant 25.
PC and console experiences have so far shown to be very, very different. Console players from what I can tell are having a more stable experience
Yeah I play on my PC and I'll cross play my save on my Xbox when I want to use the TV. The series X is quite a bit smoother. Sucks lol. Every UE5 game I've played on PC has not been a good experience lol. (I can play star citizen around 60fps in cities, KCD 2 on the highest srtting, for reference)
Avowed is UE5 and that ran well for me.

It runs like most UE5 games.
Like shit.
It’s playable though, that’s all I want right now.
It’s Unreal 5 slop with OG Oblivion running in the Background. Of course it has these issues.
Ngl I'm running a pirated copy through Lutris and it's not too bad. Beggars can't be choosers though lmao.
[Have a coin, beggar.]
Lmao I'll buy it when I can. :)
Bethesda doesn't need any more money, spend it on an indie game.
