CS1 was notoriously known to be tied to single core CPU performance
I hope at least that got better, this really hit laptop gamer even if they had beefy GPUs in the laptop
Yup, C:S and Paradox first party games are really CPU heavy, so your GPU really doesn’t matter that much unless it’s an absolute potato. My laptop ran C:S okay with just a mid-tier AMD APU (3500U IIRC).
Not like this seems to be status quo in game dev for >1 guy game studios right now (sadly).
Just don’t buy/pre order or refund after testing and we are all join the patient gamer community.
Haven’t bought a modern current-year release since >2 years.
Yep, there’s no reason that users should have to PAY for the privilege of being “beta” testers. I learned this the hard way in the early days of the Civ 6 release. 😔
Yeah. Take a look at their review. The guy was running a 3080 and had to turn all settings down to minimum just to get a stable 30fps.
Fucking ouch.
