Frame Rate Issues In Dragon's Dogma 2
Capcom has addressed concerns about these frame rate problems, claiming that the cause is probably due to the number of NPCs in a given area. Following a query from IGN, Capcom stated that the level of content within certain areas causes the frame rate to drop, and some of those dips are reported by early players to fall around 30-40 FPS, making the performance quite inconsistent. A spokesperson for Capcom stated, "In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate". The team behind Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking into solutions that will help improve the game's performance in the future, but a specific time frame was unfortunately not given. With Dragon's Dogma 2 set to have exciting gameplay, frame rate issues could hinder a player's experience.

If frame rate issues become a significant problem for gamers who choose to play Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC, Capcom will hopefully be swift in finding a solution that makes the frame rate better and more consistent than the drops some early players are experiencing. Frame rate issues can be incredibly frustrating, and for Dragon's Dogma 2 to be such an anticipated game, these issues hopefully won't be too much of a problem upon release.
