EA apologises for the state of Star Wars Jedi Survivor on PC

Star Wars Jedi Survivor was one of the most anticipated games of the year, and while its release on the console side has mostly been met with praise (though still suffers from some performance woes), the PC port appears to be on a whole other level when it comes to issues. Responding to the backlash, EA has apologised and promises that fixes are on the way.

Taking to Twitter, the official EA Star Wars account released a lengthy statement, saying “We are aware that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor isn't performing to our standards for a percentage of our PC players, in particular those with high-end machines or certain specific configurations.”

The team continued, “For example, players using cutting-edge, multi-threaded chipsets designed for Windows 11 were encountering problems on Windows 10, or high-end GPUs coupled with lower-performing CPUs also saw unexpected frame loss. Rest assured, we are working to address these cases quickly.”

They then concluded by stating that “while there is no single, comprehensive solution for PC performance, the team has been working on fixes we believe will improve performance across a spectrum of configurations. We are committed to fixing these issues as soon as possible, but each patch requires significant testing to ensure we don't introduce new problems. Thanks for understanding and apologies to any of our players experiencing these issues. We will continue to monitor performance across all platforms and share update timing as soon as it is available.”

Over the past 12 months in particular we have seen a concerning number of PC games launch in problematic states. Whether it be a general lack of optimisation; shader compilation stutter; or memory leaks, far too many PC ports have in recent months released in unacceptable states. While it is good to see EA and Respawn committed to fixing Jedi Survivor, it is a shame to have the game’s launch tainted by such issues.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
