Summary
The PvE survival gameNightingalehas dropped support for FSR 3, which is the newest iteration of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution image upscaling technology. It was previously announced that the title would support several upscaling options, including AMD’s latest and greatest.
Developed and published by independent Canadian studio Inflexion Games,Nightingaleprovides a fantasy survival-crafting experience set in the Victorian era. The Unreal Engine 5-powered title has garnered a Mixed overall rating on Steam since entering early access on February 20, with many criticizing the game’s lack of polish, as well as its stability and network issues. Inflexion Games previously said thatNightingalewould support AMD’s FSR, Nvidia’s DLSS, and Intel’s XeSS upscaling solutions to help players maximize performance, but the company announced just days before the game was released that AMD’s offering will no longer be featured in the title.
In a pre-launchblog post, Inflexion Games revealed that FSR 3 support would be temporarily removed fromNightingaleto ensure better stability. Data gathered during the game’s Server Stress Test showed that the integration of AMD’s image upscaler was connected to a significant number of crashes even if the setting was turned off, according to Inflexion Games.FSR 3 was released last September, and only a handful of titles support this specific build of AMD’s image upscaling technology despite it introducing many significant improvements.
Inflexion Games said it has started to work with various internal and external teams to determine if FSR 3 or an older version of AMD’s upscaling solution can be added toNightingalein future updates. The studio also noted that the game will still support Nvidia DLSS and Intel XeSS in the meantime. WhileNightingaleno longer supports FSR 3, it could still be reintroduced into the game in an unofficial manner, as many populargames likeCyberpunk 2077have received FSR 3 mods.

In addition toStarfield, AMD listsAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora,Forspoken,Immortals of Aveum, 2023’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, andLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthas some of the latest games that currently feature FSR 3 support.
