Me and a mate bought this for some reason last night, wss only £11 so thought we would have a look! Running on a 970 with the settings it suggested im getting a mixture of really smooth to really choppy gameplay? Is this game known for being poorly optimized or am i doing it wrong
A snow map outside map it noticeibly bad but the first game i played was silky smooth

I have not even bothered trying to play this on PC recently. They broke it badly a few months ago and I never went back properly. I have had a couple of games last month but because of the laggy menus, crashing and hackers I just yawned, turned it off and uninstalled.
It is poorly optimised. It is full of hackers and the netcode is rubbish. There are almost 0 dedicated servers so all games you play online are P2P and suffer badly with laggy insta deaths, people seeing you before you see them and lag comp etc etc. The player base plummeted within 2 weeks of release because of how bad it is. Single player is worth £11 though, so I would stick to that. The multiplayer is just a cluster
**** of bad netcode and hitreg + hackers galore. Listerally it is so bad you will probably get at least 2 in any lobby you play in, particularly now the game can be bought cheap.
RE your settings, there are a few things you should look at.
Turn off cache sun shadow maps and cache spot shadow maps, then disable supersampling.
If you get lip sync issues in cut scenes, that happens if you enable shader pre-load during cut scenes. Disable this and your lip sync problems should be fixed.
Leave the standard shader pre-load on if you want to, it just means level loading times will be longer but it helps to keep gameplay smooth.
Also, you may be running out of video memory so try knocking down your texture quality settings a notch.
Do you have vsync enabled?
let me know if you manage to get it working mate
