Gray Zone Warfare is an extraction shooter with a lot to prove. Given that Escape From Tarkov seems to have rather publicly angered its fanbase over the previous weeks, it's no surprise that this tactical FPS made an initial surge to the top of the Steam best sellers list upon its release, as disgruntled fans looked for an alternative.
However, a glance at the Steam forums and Reddit reveals plenty of reports of initial performance issues for many users, with complaints of hitching, stuttering, and low frames overall, even on reasonable hardware. Oh, and some missing heads. The game has received a pair of hotfixes since then, although by the look of the notes they do seem to focus on server issues rather than performance optimisations.
