Issues unresolved
Engine not utilizing CPU correctly
- The Real Virtuality 4 engine suffers from a massive issue in utilizing multi-core CPUs.[3][4]
- And due to the CPU not being utilizing correctly then nor will the GPU be utilized correctly.
- Real Virtuality 3 has the same issue
This issue is critical and all users with multi-core processors are suffering from it. The developers have yet to comment on this issue on the official bug tracking site.
This critical engine issue gives users a ~40% performance loss at all times, the reason is that the engine has what is called a Engine Limitation, in this case it means that only a few processing cores are being utilized and take big hits that might be the reason for game stutter as the CPU can't handle all the requests on high-end settings.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/107410/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (107410) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
