Maar sommige PC gebruikers aka Master Race hebben de nodige performance problemen met deze titel, en daarom heeft Bethesda het onderstaande bericht online gezet met de nodige tips om het spel soepel te laten verlopen.

Dishonored 2 releases to the general public tomorrow, but people who pre-ordered the game already have access to it today, but judging from the comments on the Steam forum, Dishonored suffers from serious performance/optimization issues such as slowdowns inlarge open areas, weak textures, dips in framerate, crappy subtitles, and anti-aliasing.

As such Bethesda has issued some tips & work arounds.

Systems

Check to ensure that your machine meets the game's minimum requirements and that you are not running any other programs in the background. If your system is on the lower end of the spectrum avoid setting presets to High / Very High / Ultra which will decrease your performance.
If your PC meets the Recommended Specs we encourage you to play with High settings for a more consistent 60fps experience. Only PCs that far exceed those Recommended Specs should opt for Ultra settings.

Tips for getting for best performance

General recommendations

Avoid using Alt-Tab when playing. Relaunch the game if you see performance dropping after using Alt-Tab.
Avoid having background applications running in addition to the game.

Video Settings

If you have performance issues, try lowering the resolution.
Use 1440p resolution only if you have a very high-end GPU ( GTX 1070/1080 or equivalent)
Keep the V-Sync activated, especially if you have large framerate fluctuations.
If you have framerate under 30 fps, adjust the "Adaptive Resolution" between minimum (50%) and default value (75%).

Advanced Settings

Use the "Auto" presets: this should adjust your visual settings without impacting your framerate.
If you still have performance issues with "Auto" presets:
Try deactivating the "TXAA Anti-Aliasing"
Try lowering the texture details
