4K? Too unstable frame drops.

As we know by now, Tripwire Interactive’s game, Killing Floor 2 is going to launch on Xbox One on August 29 with all the released content. However, the game will not have a 4K resolution on the Xbox One X, according to WCCFTech.

Quoting Dave Elder, the devs’ senior graphics programmer: „Xbox One X was a very smooth and easy platform to develop for. It took very little engineering effort to get our base Xbox One game running on the Xbox One X. It took maybe 4 hours of programming effort total.

Killing Floor 2 runs at native 1800p, fixed resolution (no checkerboarding) on Xbox One X. We did experiment with true 4k rendering, but the frame rate drop was a bit too significant. 1800p provides the optimal balance between visual quality and performance in Killing Floor 2. We don’t have a specific frame rate target for XBox One X, although the game does run at higher frame rates than the base Xbox One, even at 1800p resolution. We will be using Ultra textures on Xbox One X. We are also increasing the resolution of our shadow maps and shadow draw distance.”
