Respawn has just released a new PC performance patch for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. According to the team, Title Update 9 will address some of the stuttering issues, and it will improve CPU performance. Plus, it will remove the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Going into more details, Patch 9 brings framerate improvements for various hardware configurations. It also packs fixes for several sources of framerate hitching for smoother gameplay. Ray Tracing has also been optimized for CPU usage and should now scale better for high-end GPUs. And finally, there are fixes for performance related to using a mouse as gameplay input.
I’m currently downloading the game so I can test this patch and I’ll report back on my findings. To be honest, though, I don’t expect this update to resolve all of the game’s traversal stutters. Still, it might reduce them due to the CPU optimizations.
Since the new version won’t have Denuvo, we won’t know whether or not it was the cause of some of the stutters. Most of the time, Denuvo does not impact a game’s overall performance (in terms of average framerates). However, it can cause additional stutters. We’ve seen this in Tekken 7.
Respawn also claimed that it has optimized the “Optimizing Game Files” screen. The game will now use multiple CPU cores, something that should reduce the amount of time it takes to complete it.
Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

Thanks John as always update article faster
So i suffered through all the CPU stutters caused by Denuvo and the poor Unreal Engine optimizations at launch, and they fixing it now a year and a half later
Lesson learned.
Maybe learn to play games 2 years after release.
It's trash anyways.
it's an awesome game, probably the best adventure star wars game ever made
That'd be jedi outcast and jedi academy.
I couldn't enjoy this trash because of sutters and at its core, it's a mediocre triple A game with soul clone f4ggotry.
people can't get enough of their lucasarts slop
Are you talking about modern games or…
Stfu insufferable f@g
Aww…look at you using naughty words to convince others you’re an adult on the internet.
Your avatar and lack of vocabulary was the giveaway sweetie.
of course, they capitalized on that crap and now they're letting it go.
prolly the last update this "game" is gonna see.
He's just learning that lesson now? Haha, ok sure
well i guess most of them are here to learn, the other half to btch about stuff but all in all, we're all here for John lol not!
I finished it week ago. Was literally watching whole YT video while game loads fully….
That's all your fault. You bought the garbage. You already know this, none of this is new and yet you purchased it. You did so, because you have fomo and just can't wait. Why do you have to run and buy every damn thing they release to you? If a game says it's being released 9.10.24, the actual release date for me is 9.10.25/6.10.25. why the fuq are you buying trash on day one then complaining. You're a part of the problem, you have no right to complain. They do the same crap every time but you just can't control yourselves. Gotta play the latest and greatest game they release. Why on earth would you buy a PC game on release date, is beyond me. C'mon man
I’m willing to bet most of us got it for free with our cpu upgrades last year.
I can only hope so. These companies gotta die or change.
Guess the game finally left the alpha state. It's amazing how much performance our hardware is leaving on the table thanks to code monkeys.
Just in time to capitalize on the complete failure of Star War Outlaws. Not that this game was anything but mediocre either.
Have u even played outlaws? I was in the same boat as y'all. It's actually good, looks amazing and it's not done entirely by ubisucks. On top of that, snowdrop engine is astonishing, devs didnt slouch on the job like UE5 devs.
It's good?.. How is it good? Explain it to me please. What is star wars famous for? Force powers & sabers. How do you have a game in that universe, about that subject matter and there is no force or saber? Are you cracked man? That's like me having a cooking show and there is no FUQIN FOOD! My brother, you can't be serious. Why would anyone wanna play a star wars game without star wars sh*t? Are y'all this far gone into accepting anything they give to you. You have no idea what you just did by supporting crap like this.
I have an idea… I'm gonna make a p0rno game but there will be no S3x in the game. Just the talking part. Which is usually not much talking in P0rno, so… I'm just gonna stretch that part out. You know the 3 minute part in P0rno? I'm gonna stretch that out to be 50 minutes. Man, you need to come back to reality and wake up from this indoctrination you've placed yourself into.
Wow, you really went full Gordon Ramsay on this, huh? You’re missing the point though. Not every Star Wars story has to be a lightsaber dance-off. The universe is huge, and not every character is a Jedi. Think about Rogue One—it’s one of the best, and no one was throwing force powers around. If all you want is a saber fest, go watch a fan film. Some of us enjoy the deeper lore, the underdog stories, and the world-building. But hey, keep yelling about your ‘fuqin food’ while we enjoy the full buffet.
I'm sure you're aware of the saying "I usually skip that part". You must be off your meds or something to be ranting to me based on something i replied to someone else, not YOU. You seem really frustrated and biased. You might wanna take it out on the other kids, I'm not a kid, and I'm certainly not your brother, and when I say that, I mean I'm much older than you and your stpd antics. Get a grip. You used to be one of the good ones, now you're just sht.
I pity you.
it was the best action adventure game in over a decade. I am not saying this as "ZOMG 10/10 BEST GAME EVER" it is just the sad truth for action adventure games.
Nice. Now to wait for the repack https://media1.giphy.com/media/XslPWqbOvtghq/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
Ah, pirates, mateys, unite!
weird, the only other time denuvo was removed from a ea game was mass effect andromeda and we know why. Anyway performance comparison john?
Johny bro really got jacked up in his updated profile. Noice. About game, guess the sales weren't record breaking but really, game isn't worth the time. And denuvo should die already
Now if only dead space remake could get the same treatment…
Ikr? Ugh silly EA
Jacked Up Johny 💪😁
Saw one mentioned it, and damn – you really are hitting the Gym!
I myself recently started doing Kyokushin Karate. And damn I love every minute. It's hard as f*k and im surely have been beaten up, but loves it!
Karate allways been a dream since a kitty kid. And now im actually Doing it hell yeah 👊😍❤️🔥
Train hard bro!!
Lol, I don't go to the gym but I do lift heavy weights (and work out/train at home). Right now my max is 25Kg for each dumbbell (I don't expect to go higher, it's already too much for 4X sets). Heavy weight lifting with a good diet can do wonders (though my diet is all over the place but hey… that's why I work out. So that I can eat like a pig xD )
Alright buddy, thats nice to hear. Keep at it 🤠👍
Training make one feel so great. I will start lifting some to. Been doing it on and off, for a lot of years, but will start doing it constantly, as it will helpmy Karate get better. Strong and fit, is never wrong to be, and healthy foods are a must have 🙌
"Buying Video Games at Launch Has Become a Punishing Waste of Money".
calm down there beta tester.
and of course RUNE are the first scene to the rescue.
This quote belongs back in 2014 or so.
my backlog so big, i dont even notice it. although i was a month early for this one.
Backlog is the best thing we have right now.
Console players are forced to play all the new crap but here on PC we have the ultimate game selection. If they want day 1 sales then they have to work extra hard to get that money. At least on PC.
The thing about EA Play is that it doesn't matter if they remove Denuvo. The store alone is one of the most terrible Drama. Picture this, you're signed into the ap, online and you boot up a game. It asks you to sign into EA while the AP is opened and signed into. This is something that happens at random, whenever a game chooses to do this. There so many levels of DRM on this ap that people don't even know about. Ask me to sign into something I'm already currently signed into. Sign into the sign in, is incredibly crazy.
Yeah EA and in some cases jubisoft just don't get it, it's DE-of NUVO-new it's for new games to protect the early buying frenzy which drops off tremendously for most games. You're going to gain a ton of players and word of mouth by allowing free versions and better performing versions.
releasing improvement patch 1.5 year after release and 85% of people already finished the game lmfao nice
John, we want an update!
WinKey + R
Type "services.msc" (without the quotes)
Hit the enter button
Go to "windows update" open it and select "Automatic" where it says "Startup type"
Click OK
Close the services window
Now it's just wait, updates will flow through.
All these issues being fixed while denuvo is being taken out is probably unrelated but it doesnt help fight any allegations lol
It is probably one of the factor they didnt want to admit openly like mr Harada (Tekken developr) did. Adding some precious millisecond for anti tamper will surely cut that milliscond budget can be allocated for performance
That’s reasonable in that context.
Stars.Wars.Jedi.Survivor.RUNE
Way too expensive still.
Don't take a rocket scientist to realize that only removing the bloat denuvo alone will benefit performance
Yeah they try to hide it under the guise of patch optimisation but actually removing denuvo alone add so much more frametimes they can utilise
I held off on playing it due to optimization issues. Even after it came to EA Play. So glad I waited. Patience is paying off. 🙂
EDIT: I played it and it runs good except for when I enable RT. I get frame pacing issues with RT on. Frame rate is good but I get micro-stutters. As soon I disable RT, it is very smooth. This is on a 5950X and 4090.
Ok, this is nice to hear
Ah, yes, Denuvo. That mysterious software that runs for free, requiring no overhead, so it has zero impact on performance.
Yes, the magic. Denuvo.
I wonder why operating systems aren't made like Denuvo. I'd love it if my operating system ran requiring practically zero resources. That would be sweet.
Perhaps we will see Denuvo OS soon, and it will run on an 8086, because that's how little power Denuvo needs. If you think it's eating performance and negatively affecting your games? Well, you're on drugs.
What? Everyone knows that Denuvo has precisely zero measured impact on performance. It's true. I read it on Steam once.
Hey there fellow gamers!!!
new patch is out and the game runs much better!!
we learned to use computers!!!
Honestly it has nothing to do with removing denuvo in the same patch..,.

I don't see how Denuvo doesn't have some impact on performance. Any program running in the background is going to be using resources. CPU cycles, RAM, IO. Denuvo is even still running in the background in cracked games. It's just being bypassed. Even if the performance impact is minuscule, it's still a fail imo because what happens if the Denuvo servers ever go down?
I'm sure that anyone who doesn't like DRM gets automatically labeled as a pirate by publishers but it's not true in all cases. I haven't pirated a game in almost 40 years and I still don't like the Denuvo parasite.
Do you know till this day there are people claiming Denuvo have no effect on performance. Unbelievable!
They did the cancer removal and then seeing the game automatically performed better, they run to create a fake optimization patch, so they can keep using a shït that changes absolutely nothing for them, but fvcks the customer.
Btw, the pirated version are still too expensive.
Finished this a couple months back. Thought I waited long enough. It was in rough shape. Been meaning to do a new game plus. Time to jump back in!
