I'm sorry for the negative title, but I spent the last two hours looking up and down the internet for fixes...
This is a rig which can play modern titles very satisfactory at 4K, including 2019's SOTTR, Metro Exodus, Rage 2 as well as Far Cry Primal and other shooters newer than DXMD...
Machine includes a 2080 Super, i7-8700K, 16G RAM, loading from an NVRAM M2 SSD. No drama with any of those demanding, modern titles. I'm highlighting that to indicate that nothing about my basic windows config, drivers or hardware is set up badly, or otherwise misbehaving.
And yet, in this 2016 release, I have horrible frame time stutter ("Microstutter") even at 50 FPS, and in Praque where I just arrived, I have mini-hangs whenever I have moved a bit of distance (even inside the initial apartment), while the game seems to load something?
Opening the menu can also hang the game for a few considerable seconds. It's these hangs, more than anything else, makes me wish to delete it. For 4.50EUR I won't return it, but damned... this is a monster machine barely two years old, with a graphics card so much newer than anything available when this game was made. It shouldn't have issues with a three year old DX11 or DX12 graphics engine. On top of which it doesn't even look that brilliant.
Tried playing around with various fullscreen/windowed/vsync/alias settings, but no luck. I don't suppose there's some "magic fixes" around they forgot to include in this release?
There seems to be some real meat to this gameplay (I've never had a Deus Ex game before, so it's all new to me), but it's a true pain to enjoy with those technical downsides.
