Marvel's Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a newly released fighting game, has faced performance issues on PC since its initial launch. Players on the PC platform have experienced micro-stutters, high CPU usage, and frame-rate drops compared to console players. The developers have responded with a new patch that addresses these problems, significantly reducing CPU use and eliminating stutters, according to player reports.
The patch tackles the performance issues by addressing periodic audio processing and unnecessary checks of audio devices. In addition to these performance improvements, the developers have also fixed bugs, such as the game's customization settings resetting to default upon restarting, and the online lobby button input now displaying properly.
While some players have reported improved performance, others have noted that the netcode is still not as smooth as in other games. However, the overall reception of the patch has been positive, with many players praising the rapid turnaround and improved gameplay experience on PC. A Steam reviewer named Rayden Belmont even changed their rating of the game from mixed to Recommended after experiencing the performance improvements through the patch.
