Even more than half a year after the release of the open-world spectacle 'Just Cause 3', the game still suffers from sometimes massive framerate problems.
Update 1.05, which addressed this issue once again, was recently released, but failed to achieve any significant improvements, as a recent analysis by Digital Foundry shows. Particularly in action-packed scenes or during explosions, the frame rate drops to as low as 15fps, sometimes delivering even worse results than before.
Why Just Cause 3 is having such difficulty getting this issue under control is currently unclear. There has been no statement yet from Square Enix or developer Avalanche. Meanwhile, the studio is working on the third major expansion, which is expected later this year.
