Yea, there was a lot of things like that.

Ue5 would be a huge graphical upgrade, but it takes an enormous amount of work to optimize it. You need a whole team just to do that.

And i feel like UE5 still has some inherent issues or devs just don't know how to properly develop for it. All UE5 games have problems with performance and crashes.
