"Dishonored 2" is just one day away from its release and those who preordered and played the early access have already begun experiencing some issues for the PC version. 

With the game reaching its eventual release, "Dishonored 2" has already been bombarded with reviews and complaints, claiming that the players have been experiencing numerous problems that range from low or unstable framerates to blurry graphics to mouse sensitivity issues, according to Gamespot. In spite of huge number of fans saying that the game is great and very enjoyable, most of them advise the rest of the people to avoid playing the early access of "Dishonored 2" first until Bethesda and Arkane Studios are able to provide patches to fix the problem.

Being the good company that they are, the companies, of course, addressed these issues and the complaints of the players in the said Steam page and even in their Twitter page.

For those who want to know what the tips in fixing these issues are, here is what Bethesda advised:

Systems

Tips for getting for best performance:

General recommendations

  • Avoid using Alt-Tab when playing. Relaunch the game if you see performance dropping after using Alt-Tab.
  • Avoid having background applications running in addition to the game.

Video Settings

  • If you have performance issues, try lowering the resolution.
  • Use 1440p resolution only if you have a very high-end GPU ( GTX 1070/1080 or equivalent)
  • Keep the V-Sync activated, especially if you have large framerate fluctuations.
  • If you have framerate under 30 fps, adjust the "Adaptive Resolution" between minimum (50%) and default value (75%).

Advanced Settings

  • Use the "Auto" presets: this should adjust your visual settings without impacting your framerate.
  • If you still have performance issues with "Auto" presets:
  • Try deactivating the "TXAA Anti-Aliasing"
  • Try lowering the texture details
