Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fans have been waiting about a year for Respawn Entertainment to do something about the rather abysmal performance present in the game. Those performance woes including, but not limited to, poor framerates in several key areas as well as a heavy amount of traversal stutter.
Though several patches have already been released for the game before now and while there have been a few improvements here and there for the game, those performance woes remained intact.
Today, Respawn and EA just released Patch 9 for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The update seems mainly focused on performance improvements to the PC version of the game. It also removes the Denuvo DRM from the PC version of the game, promises optimization for ray tracing performance, and made some improvements to those playing with a mouse and keyboard.
From what I'm reading online about this patch, several people have noticed an improvement to average framerates. However, traversal stutter is still very much present. Some users have also reported that known trouble spots, such as around the Rambler's Reach area, are still extremely problematic for stutters and big framerate drops.
The full patch notes are below.
