PREY releases in a couple of days and as you may have guessed, it will receive a day-1 update. This patch will address several framerate issues and several crashes, as well as various VFX, SFX, mission and objective marker issues.
Furthermore, this patch will fix some gameplay issues. For example, the hacking minigame will now properly display what object is being hacked in the UI, and players will now be able to split stacks when looking at container inventories.
This day-one update will also adjust the enemy AI for difficulty levels more effectively, will fix the issue that enabled Operators to shoot through walls, and will make it possible so that explosive containers can be exploded when thrown at technopaths.

And yet President of Arcane is trying to bullshit the PC community that they have learned their lesson from Dishonored 2 which is bollocks because from the looks of it Arcane have not been learning any lessons from the days of Dark Messiah Of Might & Magic.
Game runs like SILK. What you got say now heh
It’s nice to be proved wrong in a situation like this when the contrary is the norm. However with visuals like those it’s no wonder it runs really good. So the next question would be is the game good?
If they didn’t get this stuff properly fixed in the several years of development time, what makes you think they’ll fix it in several weeks before launch?
There will always be bugs with any game after launch. That logic simply doesn’t hold up as there is always something that goes under the radar. Also this isn’t a question of “if”. They already fixed the bugs, it’s in the changelog.
I dont buy games on Iaunch anymore
Arkane Studios, 1st May 2017:
“given what happened with Dishonored 2, we doubled our thoroughness
in making sure that the game is going to run smoothly. At this point the
game is fully ready”
Two days later: Day one patch confirmed!
Yeah, this pretty much confirms that they are full of crap and that the PC version is going to be a garbage port job.
Would you place your testicles in the pendulum with that stance on a bet?

A bet you say?, why bet when you can see the trainwreck ahead of release.
MAN. I wish you placed your testes there. Cause the game runs like SILK. Everyone says it plays beautifully
Who is everyone?.
All of Steam?. I’ve yet to see everyone saying the same.
You sound like you really want to physically hurt others for no good reason (even outside of pointless gambling).
Reviews are popping up as well, it’s basically being heralded as the best performing AAA game of the year so far. How would I be hurting people? You would have to place the bet yourself I don’t force anything on anybody
Except I don’t bet and the way you are going about my og comment proves you don’t like it when people are highly skeptical of a game and the devs.
Also you said “I wish I placed your testes in there”, like how deranged do you have to be, to want to harm someone both mentally and physically.
Somewhat surprisingly the early reports from most on the Steam forums and Mack from Worthabuy indicate that the game runs really well, e.g. circa 130fps at 1080p (and pretty much the same at 1440p) on a GTX 980Ti or 1070, presumably with the day one patch and latest GameReady drivers installed.
That said, the graphics do look somewhat dated for a 2017 triple-A game on PC and having to edit an ini file to change the FOV (soon to be remedied with a patch) because they didn’t bother to include it in the video settings menu smacks of amateurism from a console-centric dev’.
