Respawn has detailed the first PC update for Titanfall 2. This first patch will come with stability and GPU performance improvements, increased performance of streaming textures, and will introduce adaptive resolution scaling.
Adaptive resolution scaling will be helpful to all owners of low-end GPUs that want to experience the game, or for those that want to run the game in 4K.
As Respawn stated:
“This feature allows the game to downscale the rendered image to help maintain a consistent framerate. This will be especially helpful for our users running lower spec video cards, allowing them to maintain 60fps more often, as well as those of you running 4K monitors with more midrange GPUs. Adaptive Resolution uses TSAA’s resolve step to output to screen, thus the feature is only enabled when TSAA is enabled.”
This patch will also fix disappearing grapple rope with TSAA enabled, will adjust Recommended settings for lower end GPUs, will fix subtitles being stretched in 21:9 ratios, and will fix some rare hardlocks and crashes.
This update is available right now, and will be auto-downloaded from Origin.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
