Respawn Entertainment has finally "fixed" Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

For the PC gaming community, Patch 7 brings an array of optimizations tailored for both CPUs and GPUs. An important addition is the support for Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), an innovative technology that uses artificial intelligence for upscaling PC game resolutions. This enables players to relish enhanced graphics and better frame rates. Although these upgrades are bound to uplift the gaming experience, cinematics within Star Wars Jedi: Survivor remain fixed at 30fps.

The recent patches also attend to other significant issues: file corruption within the save system and a bug obstructing players from reclaiming their XP upon their character's death. There' promise of augmented game stability and fewer crashes as well as miscellaneous refinements across all platforms, including adjustments related to attire, illumination, and user interface.

Given the history of challenges with ray tracing, it's evident why Respawn Entertainment chose to exclude it from the Performance mode. Previously, both the Quality and Performance modes incorporated ray tracing without an option for deactivation. This latest move suggests a strategic decision, as the game couldn't sustain a consistent 60fps with ray tracing activated.

This development cycle for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor underscores a broader industry trend, where publishers sometimes release games that require subsequent refinement and improvement. It's not unusual for games to take as long as six months post-launch to achieve peak performance. However, once the necessary patches are in place, many of these games start to look like what they were initially billed as - and usually for a much lower price at that.

While a game eventually being as good as it should've been at launch isn't a cause for celebration, we'll take what we can get these days.

As for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it continues its journey of enhancements while fans wait for versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Additionally, whispers about a potential trilogy for the Star Wars Jedi series persist, fostering anticipation for what Respawn has in store next.
