Determined to improve Dragon's Dogma 2 performance by any means necessary, framerate fiends plot murder spree of RPG's "inconsequential" and CPU-hungry NPCs
P𝔍layers are taking performance-related matters into their own hands in the most evil way imaginable

Dragon's Dogma 2 is almost upon us, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:early review scores have already placed it significa🍸ntly higher than its predecessor – an entic꧃ing thought for fans of the original. While critics have been full of praise for it, however, some concerns have been raised about the RPG's framerate on PC, which is reportedly a bit shaky in places.
This is something that's already been acknowledged by Capcom in a . The developer states that "a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments." Because of this, it explains, in situations where a wꦿhole bunch of characters are present simultaneously, CPU usage "can be very high," which may, in turn, impact the framerate.
Although the developer is already investigating ways "to improve performance in the future," Dragon's Dogma 2 players have taken this information and are running with it. How? By gearing up for the RPG's launch by planning the murder of innocent NPCs. It's a rather extreme move, and certainly not one that's been suggested by Capcom, which previously confirmed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:dead NPCs will stay dead forever (unless resurrected). But, hungry to boost t𒁏heir framerate by any means necessary, this clearly isn't enough to put some people off the idea.
Over on the RPG's sub💝reddit, some players are already planning to collaborate on producing a list of to kill off without potentially missing out on quests and content, while others have murdering NPCs after completing quests for them. It all sounds very evil if we're being honest, but the concept has inspired plenty of cursed memes as players come to terms with the idea of carrying out a murder spree for the sake of a few more juicy frames per second.

Meanwhile, others are just wondering how far th▨is is gไoing to be taken: "Can't wait for a week to go and someone posts the game running at 60fps after slaughtering everyone," one Reddit user .
"🍒I'm giggling just imagining early Dragon's Dogma 2 speedruns that include killing certain NPCs when you pass them to improve the framerate as the run progresses," another.
At this point, it remains to be seen if killing off the NPCs will actually make a noticeable difference to the game's performance, but as we app꧟roach the RPG's release date tomorrow, there's no doubt that someone will test it. Someone might want to warn those NPCs in advance.
