It seems that recently the PC release of the remastered Darksiders games has been suffering a few performance issues, mainly on cards made by AMD. Now THQ Nordic say that they’ve managed to fix the issue and released a patch.

Players were experiencing some frame spikes on AMD cards, with a few getting particularly severe ones. Now that the patch has been applied, people are beginning to report that the frame rate is keeping a lot more consistent around 60FPS. This bodes well for people who were previously having issues, and unless you hear reports of something going wrong because of an update, it’s always a good idea to keep your games and software up-to-date anyway.

The patch has also fixed an edge case where players couldn’t save their keybindings if they already had a pre-existing configuration set. However, there is still a memory leak issue that hasn’t been quite stamped on. Games seem to be able to run for around 2 hours before crashing to desktop, but given that custom-build PCs are always different to each other it varies wildly from machine to machine. THQ Nordic are still working on the leak issue.

Either way, if you have the game on PC, best log into Steam and let it do its updating work. It’ll save on patching time when the memory leaks do get sorted out after all.
