Have anyone else noticed that UE 5 is significantly harder to run than other game engines in the current generation. Every game that uses UE 5 is hard to run and the visuals doesn’t look worth the performance hit. Games from other engines and Games uses UE 4 is so much better.

Just take a look at S.T.A.L.K.E.R, yes they might be qble to optimise it more but even games less buggy if it’s UE 5 it’s hard to run. I play a LOT of AA games that uses UE 4 and all of them hits 100+ fps without breaking a sweat while still looking beautiful. It’s crazy.

Why do you think this is? Also while you’re commenting, drop the best performing 9th gen game you’ve played too!

    I heard from a game dev that UE isn’t an engine, but a framework. That means it doesn’t give you optimized, opinionated code, but gives you more “freedom” - yet forces each dev team to optimise by themselves.

    Which they either don’t or do poorly.
