CRISIS CORE –FINAL FANTASY VII– REUNION does not require a high-end PC, but has shader compilation stutters
https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/crisis-core-final-fantasy-vii-reunion-does-not-require-a-high-end-pc-but-has-shader-compilation-stutters/
Square Enix has just released the remaster of the Final Fantasy 7 PSP game, CRISIS CORE –FINAL FANTASY VII– REUNION, on PC. CRISIS CORE –FINAL FANTASY VII– REUNION uses Unreal Engine 4 and as the title suggests, it has shader compilation stutters on PC.
Now the good news here is that the game does not require a high-end PC system in order to be enjoyed. Furthermore, it fully supports Keyboard & Mouse, and plays wonderfully with them.
