Quantum Break plagued by issues on PC

Multi-GPU support not coming

Remedy's Quantum Break game is now available for PC and Xbox One and has been already breaking sales record but it appears that the PC version is plagued by multiple issues. While some will be fixed eventually, it appears that multi-GPU support is not coming at all.

Remedy has posted an update saying that it has been working with Microsoft in order to fix multiple issues that have been seen on Windows 10 version of the game.

The list of issues is quite extensive and Remedy has posted a list of issues that the developer is currently working on:

- Stuttering Frame-Rate / Frame Pacing – fix due soon
- Windows 10 Performance Issues – working with AMD and Nvidia about this, especially concerning video memory becomes fragmentation
- Windows 10 Frame Rate Lock – Microsoft will allow the disabling of VSYNC and add support for G-SYNC and FreeSync in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update this summer
- A quit option will be added to the main menu
- A fix for the crash-at-launch issue
- Image quality issues, providing more control and toggles for features like film grain
- Changing the rendering technique on PCs
- Fixing Windows Store download issues – this experience is also earmarked to be fixed in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update
- Cloud save issues

Remedy was also keen to note that PC gamers should use AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.4.1 and Nvidia GeForce driver version 362.00 drivers in order to get the full performance from the game.

Unfortunately, while some of those issues will be fixed by either Remedy, AMD, Nvidia or even Microsoft with the Anniversary Update coming this summer, it appears that some issues with the game, like the lack of multi-GPU support under DirectX 12 will never be fixed as apparently, "Quantum Break on Windows 10 unfortunately doesn’t support DirectX12 multi-GPU rendering" due to the engine architecture.

In any case, it appears that Microsoft's UWP and Windows 10 gaming is not doing as good as Microsoft hoped and it is currently plagued by many issues, making Quantum Break pretty much unplayable on the PC.
