Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PC - Patch 9 - Improved But Still Very Poor

One of the most disappointing triple-A PC releases ever made returns with yet another patch, promising performance improvements. Does Jedi: Survivor patch 9 actually deliver frame-rate upgrades? The answer is yes, to a certain extent. However, with so many issues still outstanding, we still can't recommend the PC version of this game.

The year is 2032, patch 26 of Jedi: Survivor has just dropped. Alex sadly reports that while there is an avg 2% framerate increase, the game is still stuttery. Maybe the next patch will be different...

Somehow, the “runs fine on my PC” crowd returned

[bscout]

After 18 months and 9 patches no DF seal of approval, still. Gosh darnit.

[FSAPOJake]

Just so frustrating that this game, and the original, were never fixed.
Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are phenomenal games. The tech issues are just really unfortunate.

POV: You’re respawn/EA:
-Given tens of millions in funding to make a sequel to a massive hit game
-given a generous development timeline and pretty much complete creative control
-allowed to release after March despite a giant hit to fiscal earnings

Poor Kal has probably run the equivalent of multiple marathons with all your testing. No wonder he stutters :D

[NikoQerry]

If patch 9 was the launch version, it would be concerning, now its just sad.

[koklusz]

What a relief. I was afraid Alex might loose his favorite whipping boy.

[HenryMarkV]

Saw many people say “denuvo is gone, fps up by 40%!” as I scream in horror when Koboh loads up and the textures are disappearing under my feet (and it still runs like garbage)

[blessedred]

They need to do an entire repass on this game for Patch 10. Or watch this video and take notes on what to fix. This is ridiculous at this point. I doubt the game will be fully fixed by the time we see the 3rd game. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Maybe EA can also throw some resources at Dead Space, too?

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly STUTTERED out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

[dolan_plz]

I recommend everyone to also install May the performance be with you optimization mod that greatly reduces stutters, fixes the AO culling flashes, fixes crashes when using RT, increases image quality, optimizes VRAM allocation, and has all kinds of tweaks in it!

1 yr later and I still cannot play the game I bought. I even replaced my computer this year. Still plays like a pile of shit. Biggest regret was trying to fiddle with settings for longer than steam’s refund window. Never getting anything from respawn day 1 again.

[Sid-Cannon]

The fact that we're up to patch 9 and it still isn't fixed makes me think shove it, even if they severely discounted it.

[bananaphone]

Not even considering the traversal stutter that we’re still suffering in this game, my GOD the pop in is just atrocious. Running around town on Kobo it literally feels like the walls, floors, shadows, and set dressing are alive. They jump around all the time and it’s so distracting.

[harrisonlichtenberg]

This patch should have been in week one, not in year two

[Zeouterlimits]

The locked demo you did around the 10 minute mark shows the issues really well.

[RQUKOfficial]

Games that ship is such a state like this deserve to be pirated. Absolutely diabolical.

[kzgames]

I feel like locking the frame rate is the best way to show people how bad these issues are. Well done.
