  • I was really looking forward to playing this game because of the praise I had heard about it, which made me excited and hopeful.
  • I am extremely frustrated and disappointed by the massive frame drop issues that make the game unplayable.
  • I tried multiple troubleshooting methods, such as verifying file integrity and lowering settings, but none of them worked.
  • I even tried running the game on two different devices, including a high-end PC and a Steam Deck, but the issues persisted.
  • I manually adjusted advanced settings like enabling custom GPU clock and modifying engine files, but the frame drops remained.
  • The frame drops are so severe that the game freezes for 0.5 to 1 second whenever I move the character, making it impossible to enjoy.
  • I find it strange that I couldn't find many others experiencing the same issue, which makes it unclear what is causing the problem or if a fix exists.
  • Despite my efforts, the game remains unplayable, which has left me feeling helpless and dissatisfied.
  • The lack of widespread reports about this issue adds to my confusion and frustration, as it feels like an isolated problem.
  • Overall, my experience with the game has been overwhelmingly negative due to the technical issues that prevent me from enjoying it.

  • I find the game unplayable due to frequent stuttering, which occurs every 5 seconds or so in Mafia Town (Chapter 1).
  • The stuttering issue is so severe that I haven't been able to progress further in the game.
  • The stuttering makes the experience too brutal for me to continue playing.
  • I am playing on high-end hardware, including a 7800x3d CPU, RTX 4090 GPU, and NVME SSD, so the issue is not related to my system's specs.
  • Despite having top-tier hardware, the game's performance is still unacceptable.
