I have a merely 3 year old PC I bought for 1500€ a 5600x and 3060ti, yet it for some reason can’t run cronos, a single player linear game, on low settings without constant lags

The whole game consists of grayscale. There is simply nothing that would require the computing power

And its not really a realistic progress of computing requirements, while they state that my entry level ryzen 5 5600x can run it on optimal settings, for some reason they require an extremely up to date GPU, which just tells me that they just crammed in every kind of graphics tech so their Grayscale smog looks better

From an article I found:

While the Cronos The New Dawn minimum requirements are fairly low, requiring only an Intel Core i5 8400F or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and 16GB of RAM, it seems this isn’t enough to run the game at 1080p.

The Cronos The New Dawn recommended specs call for 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X CPU, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT GPU, which, apparently, “allows for gameplay in 1080p.”

Seems terribly optimized, I’m curious if its unreal engine 5 because that would explain a lot

Edit: yeah that’s not surprising, UE5

  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
