Frogwares has announced that a performance patch for The Sinking City will be coming out soon on the PC. This patch will feature all the enhancements that were added to the game’s console patch, as well as some PC-specific improvements.

Going into more details, this patch will improve overall performance. Therefore, players should see a more stable FPS rate when playing the game. Frogwares has also implemented additional improvements and optimizations based on post-launch feedback.

Not only that, but the team has also addressed previously reported frequent FPS drops and stuttering. We were among the first to report the game’s awful stuttering issues, so it’s at least good knowing that the developers have tried to fix them.

Moreover, this patch will bring various crowd-related fixes, improvements, and optimizations. As such, players should see a decrease in bugs and glitches linked to pedestrian behavior. In addition, passersby should no longer have spawn zones that are directly visible to the player.

Frogwares claims that the PC patch will release once testing on multiple hardware setups and configurations has finished.
