Final Fantasy XVI – Performance Issues and Low FPS Fix

Unfortunately, it seems that the performance issues plaguing Final Fantasy XVI haven't been entirely resolved since its initial release on PlayStation 5 over a year ago. Many players reported frame rate drops during cutscenes, and this problem persists in the recent PC port. This is particularly disappointing given that fans had hoped these issues would be addressed based on their experiences with the demo version.

Stuttering during cutscenes or gameplay can be caused by a range of factors, such as hardware limitations, software bugs, or even the game's optimization. Some PlayStation players have reported that switching from performance to a different mode has improved their overall experience. Also, depending on your graphics card, adjusting the resolution settings might help. The default option may not always be optimal for your PC.

Additionally, disabling or lowering settings like motion blur can also make a difference. Motion blur, while intended to create smoother visual transitions, can be computationally demanding and cause frame rate drops. To improve performance, consider turning off or reducing the intensity of this setting. If these tweaks don't fully resolve the problem, experiment with other graphical settings such as shadow quality, texture filtering, anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, and tessellation to further optimize performance and minimize stuttering.

For those who continue to encounter FPS drops, even on higher-end hardware, here's another approach to try. It seems that the demo and full version of the game share a shader file that might be causing compatibility problems.

Been with gamepressure.androidapks.biz since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or iring my collection of retro consoles.
