But no fix yet for the problem which sunk its Steam rating
While Arkane’s time-looping supernatural shooterDeathloopis a good’un, the PC release has not gone down well, with many players reportingsuffering framerates—the worst type of timejank. The problem still stands, a day-and-a-half after launch, but there is some comfort to be found in at least an official acknowledgment from publishers Bethesda that yes, they know it’s a problem. Not nearly as much comfort as a fix would be. Maybe you’ll find some meagre comfort in the unlikely source for this acknowledgement: a nice picture of some burgers.

Vague. No solutions. No workarounds. But it’s what we’ve got for now. Many players have found capping their framerate to 60 or 120fps has helped, while others suggest using a controller instead of a mouse brings results, but it’s all slightly in the realm of “Hope this works for you?”

“Colt is High Chaos Corvo with three lives and no patience, as reckless in personality as I want to be in play,” hired boy Brendy said in ourDeathloop review. “His boot contains more power than any Outsider’s mark, and stealth is just the thing that goes wrong before a good fight. More surprising is that, despite the wonkiness, I’m ready to play more games as a sneaky, invading Julianna in multiplayer. Because she’s right. When the loop is this good, why stop?”
