More and more players began to report improved performance of Marvel's Midnight Suns after deactivation

2K launcher through which the game is launched.

What is known

This was first reported by the Rock Paper Shotgun website.He noticed that disabling the 2K program that runs at the start of the game can positively affect the frame rate. Users on Reddit have experienced a hack and some have experienced 10+ fps framerate gains, which can be very noticeable, especially if you have a not-too-powerful PC and had 25-30 fps before. If you also decide to try this, then Steam has a great guide on how to do it.

They decided to test the life hack for truthfulness.by PC Gamer. Their average frame rate increased from 50 to 55, and the minimum from 4 to 17 fps at 1440p resolution with ray tracing enabled on the GeForce RTX 3080TI. They also noted that the game as a whole began to behave better, although this is not a super increase, since everything was not very bad before. But if you read user posts on Reddit, then disabling the launcher actually “revived” game.

Why exactly does this happen – noneknows. Marvel's Midnight Suns is not the first 2K game to suffer from performance issues in the launcher – Previously, users complained about similar ones in Mafia, XCom and Civilization VI.
