This discussion highlights a surprising finding from the developers, who observed that the PC version of Stellar Blade shows more stable performance when its DRM protection is activated. Their internal tests revealed that the game maintains an average of 59.9 frames per second regardless of whether the protection is enabled.
Further details of the test results indicate that removing the DRM leads to more noticeable performance dips. In fact, without the protection, the game can drop to as low as 48.6 frames per second. Conversely, when the protection is active, the frame rate stays consistently above 58.2 frames per second.
The developers explain their observations with the following points:
- The DRM has been fine-tuned to preserve a stable average performance level.
- In certain instances, the DRM even helps in achieving higher minimum frame rates.
This strategy is designed not only to secure the… game but also contributes to a more reliable gaming experience, challenging the common perception that such protections generally hamper performance. Does this enhancement make you more inclined to explore the PC version of Stellar Blade?
