Deathloop it is, by all accounts, a damn game. That said, its reception on Steam is sitting trembling in the “mixed” territory due to various performance-related issues currently affecting PC players.
The latest version of Arkane Studios, the ambitious developers behind it Dams i Disgraced, Deathloop refers to an assassin named Colt while exploring a Groundhog Day-Free time loop on a secluded island known as Blackreef. Cole’s job is to break the loop by dispatching a group of eight targets, each with their own background, talents and motives for wanting to keep Blackreef’s party endless.
Oh, and other players can invade your game with the role of Julianna, a woman who is hot on Cole’s court trying to protect the loop. Fun!
Scratch it; that it would be amused yes Deathloop apparently he did not have it problems on the PC.
According to several reviews left on the game’s Steam page, Deathloop it is prone to slowdown and stuttering episodes that have aggravated players ’experiences on release day.
“The game is very well optimized, like now very bad“, I explained to a Steam user.” I stuttered my RTX 3070ti at 1080p even with the latest drivers and [raytracing] switched off “.

Kotaku editor John Walker also intervened and told me this DeathloopTechnical problems have ruined his early days with the game:
Deathloop it had to be the first big test of my new PC. I upgraded everything, including a GeForce 3070 with a Ryzen 5 5600X. I still wouldn’t have posed any challenges and couldn’t wait to play a whole new and totally specified budget game. So I was a little worried when he immediately started telling me that I was running out of VRAM and that I needed to lower the quality. And even more so, when after firing an explosive weapon, the whole game slowed down to – and this is no exaggeration – at 0.1 FPS.
We contacted Bethesda about these issues, but did not hear them before posting them.
Many reviews are to blame DeathloopThe use of Denuvo, a popular anti-piracy tool, for these slowdowns. Denuvo often interferes with legitimately purchased games while recently preventing pirates from playing released versions. This technology was recently affected Resident Evil Village, which worked like shit on the PC until anti-piracy measures were removed.
“Unfortunately, they still haven’t realized that those who hack don’t spend money with or without protection and those who pay like us, have a troubled game,” another Steam user succinctly concluded. “A good game doesn’t need protection to sell, you just have to be good, simple.”
