In the latest update of Horizon Forbidden West, FSR 3 has been introduced, but I've encountered some challenges progressing through a certain part of the game due to major performance issues.
Despite FSR 3 providing some improvements, it hasn't completely resolved the performance issues in the game. Even with recommended settings, I've experienced significant problems, particularly in certain sections where the performance takes a huge hit. I've tried adjusting various display and graphic settings, but the performance issues persist.
While things do improve during cutscenes, the performance struggles continue during combat and certain in-game sequences. Running the game at minimum settings with FSR 3 balanced, I've managed to maintain around 30 frames per second, but there are still noticeable dips, especially during intense scenarios with a lot of environmental effects.
Although FSR 3 has made significant gains on the Steam Deck, it hasn't entirely addressed all the performance issues in Horizon Forbidden West. Despite these challenges, I believe that once past this specific part of the game, the overall performance will likely improve during standard combat and exploration.
