Dragon's Dogma 2 Devs Investigating PC Performance & Stability Issues
To all Dragon's Dogma 2 players. We would like to update you on the status of the following items, about which we have received numerous comments from the community. To all those looking forward to this game, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
Regarding Frame Rate
A large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and calculating the impact of their physical presence in various areas. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate. We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future.
Crashes and bug fixes
We are investigating/fixing critical problems such as crashes and freezing. We will be addressing crashes and bug fixes starting from those with the highest priority in patches in the near future.
The option of starting a new game
We are looking at adding a feature to the Steam version of the game that will allow players that are already playing to restart the game. We will announce more details as soon as we can.
Paid DLC
All the items listed below can be obtained in-game or as paid DLC items:

I`m not touching any game, especially the hyped ones, before 6 month have passes and preferred 1 year.
Dark patterns in marketing manipulating our inherent need to have shared experiences with others combined with good old fashioned lack of self control and its a perfect storm of buggy release after buggy release.
To paraphrase ole Ben Franklin, you get the hobby you deserve.
Everyone needs to learn the lesson and mature eventually. I am not without fault. After Mass Effect 3, I never day one purchased another game again. I am 100% on the Wait at least one year, Sale price of $10 or less, feature complete edition patient gaming train.
I actually fired up Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen for the first time this week, been sitting in my Steam Library for years, got it for $5 a few years ago. Fun-ish game with some jank, and if it doesn't entertain me then I am out all of $5...
Zen 4 and Raptor Lake are doing relatively well, as these chips can offer over twice the gaming performance of what's in current gen consoles. But people on Zen 2 or Coffee Lake are definitely struggling.
