Performance notes at launch
The first Steam reviews include performance reports worth knowing before you judge your own machine. These are player reports from launch week, not benchmarks:
- Some players report high CPU usage and large frame-rate swings on Windows.
- A few high-end GPU owners report stutter that the minimum-spec sheet would not predict.
- Others report smooth play on mid-range hardware; results vary by driver and settings.
If you experience stutter, check for game and GPU driver updates before changing hardware. Voice and connection reports from the same launch window are covered in the voice chat guide and the crossplay guide.
