Marvel Tōkon PC Patch Traces Stuttering to Audio Device Checks Inside Game Loop

Arc System Works identified two critical audio-system bugs that caused frame rates to drop below 60 FPS on high-end PCs for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, which launched on August 6. A patch of approximately 10 GB was released on August 10, improving the game's Steam approval rating from around 39% to approximately 46% by August 11. The PC version faced severe stuttering and input lag, leading to negative reviews, while the PS5 version received acclaim. The patch addressed three main issues: a CPU-heavy startup routine, an unnecessary audio-processing task during matches, and a polling loop for audio input devices. Players were advised to accept a shader warm-up prompt on first launch to ensure optimal performance. Despite the improvements, issues like the PSN account requirement and Linux compatibility remain unresolved.

From ancient Buddhism, to iconic manga hair, to Keanu Reeves: a PC Gamer Causality Chain™

Causality Chain is a series at PC Gamer exploring connections between history, culture, and video games. Keanu Reeves, known for his roles in films, is linked to Buddhist teachings through a narrative that traces back to the 1590s with Xuanzang's travels, which inspired the tale "Journey to the West." In 1984, manga artist Akira Toriyama created a series influenced by this tale, introducing the character Son Goku, modeled after the Monkey King. In 1991, Toriyama introduced the Super Saiyan transformation for Goku, which featured a golden aura and blonde hair. In 1992, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 introduced Super Sonic, a transformation reminiscent of Goku's. In 2001, Shadow the Hedgehog was created as a rival for Sonic, characterized as the "ultimate lifeform." In 2024, Keanu Reeves was cast as the voice of Shadow and claimed he could defeat Sonic, whether as a human or as a CGI character.

Marvel Tōkon Fighting Souls launches with PC performance issues and mixed Steam ratings

Players of Marvel: Tōkon Fighting Souls are experiencing performance issues on PC, leading to a Mixed rating on Steam with only 43% positive feedback. The game suffers from persistent micro-stutters during gameplay, launch failures, and significant challenges for Linux users, who are unable to access the game. A Reddit user highlighted that the game has regular micro-stutters regardless of hardware or settings, with frame-time graphs showing frequent spikes correlating to visible stutters. These issues disrupt online matches due to dropped frames. Even high-end hardware does not alleviate the stuttering, and external frame-rate limiters do not resolve the visible stutters. Steam reviews reflect concerns about performance, with some users reporting issues before launching the game. Linux users are particularly frustrated as the game blocks any attempts to launch on Linux systems, unlike another title from the same developer. The game is also not compatible with the Steam Deck due to similar Linux-related issues. Arc System Works has released a day-one patch aimed at improving performance, including reducing CPU load and addressing performance drops associated with overlays, but players are still awaiting feedback on its effectiveness.
