Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Patch 4 will reduce traversal stutters

49 Comments

Electronic Arts has announced that the fourth major update for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will release later this week, and Respawn has shared its complete changelog.

According to the release notes, Update 4 will update occlusion behavior for raytracing which will reduce idle time stalls. Moreover, it will improve data handling when toggling raytracing, improving non-raytraced performance.

The most important improvement of this upcoming patch, though, is Respawn’s attempts to address the game’s traversal stutters. As the team noted, Patch 4 will update streaming budgets that will help alleviate traversal hitching.

It’s also worth noting that Respawn aims to improve performance on newer i7 and i9 CPUs that have efficiency cores in newer patches. Additionally, the team aims to improve some hitching which can be attributed to streaming raytracing data, assets, and a gap in our prebuilt shaders.

As always, Steam and EA App will download this update once it becomes available. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
