I shared the saved game and I guess the coders couldn't be bothered to check it. You lose a customer.

Patch installed. Not fixed. Game uninstalled. Won't get Heart of Gold.


What a shame I am such a fan of the DK series and this was the only game that came close to that experience all that time ago...

Hi Scott. When will this patch release? With Heart of Gold or without?


Looking forward to finishing the game! If it gets fixed I will probably purchases the next installment :)

Can I have an update on this? Would be great to be able to finish the game.


Cheers.

Symptoms: heavy stuttering during any kind of rendering. Whenever the stutter occurs the gpu clock in forced to 135mhz instead of 1125mhz. This stutter happens very quickly making gameplay choppy and quickly unplayable.


No component overheating. I keep temps always well under control and consider myself a hardware enthusiast (constantly monitoring these things). This issue also starts from the beginning, from cold boot this is definitely ruled out. Other games run perfectly smoothly including very graphically intensive ones.

The same goes for Wolfenstein new order that really pushes CPU hard too at max settings. No drop in frames or stutters present.

I can't play the game anymore. Once I load the level (last level) it either freezes or runs at 1fps. It is a complete slideshow.


My temps are never high. When I play a more demanding game such as crysis 3 or far cry 4 even with dsr at 3k+ resolution the 980M won't get above 85C after long gaming periods (normal temps for a mobile GPU) with no dips in performance. The same goes for the cpu.


In WFTO the temps do not get anywhere near this temperature as the game is not as demanding. During this slideshow the load on both cpu and gpu is low and temperature therefore very low. This happens right from when I load into the game. The gpu runs microstutters between 135mhz and 1120mhz every split second. I then quit and run a graphically intensive game such as those mentioned above and the gpu will pull along at full clocks without skipping a beat.


Also recommending Furmark to people is pretty bad advice. That software is obsolete and only serves to overheat the vrms on GPU's. Not an actual real world test. Playing demanding games at high settings and resolutions for hours is the best stress test. Furmark is proven to prematurely kill GPU's particularly in a laptop with thermal contraints. I never advise anyone to use Furmark period.


So back on topic I am afraid the game is bugged on this last level. It is a real shame as I really want to finish the game.


Perhaps I can dump the saved game file somewhere where you can take a look at it and let me know if it is corrupted?
