Hey everyone! I know we all have been having some trouble with Dishonored 2 amazing optimization. I was getting about 60fps indoors and 40 outdoors at medium settings (which apparently is pretty good, specs below) but obviously I was expecting more.
I looked around the reviews and found someone (I'll make sure to come back and credit him!) who said something that gave me a huge boost.
Basically, Dishonored 2 defaults itself to Low Priority. You can see this in the task manager. Changing this setting helps... A ton.
The guy suggested simple right clicking the Dishonored process > pressing go to details > right clicking the process > hovering over Priority > selecting 'High'.
This worked fantastic! I was getting a huge boost and was playing on High with 50-60 outdoors and over 60 indoors (will come back later with better benchmarks!)
However, my frames kept randomly dropping back down to how they used to be. I found that the Dishonored 2 process was constantly setting itself back to 'Low' Disappointing.
But! There's a fix! Simply download a wonderful program named Process Hacker. Process hacker allows you to permanently set the priority of a program! Perfect! Simply search Dishonored 2 in its search bar > right click Dishonored 2 > set priority to High (ensure that it actually set, took me a few tries) > and click 'Save Priority for Dishonored2.exe'
Also!! If your AMD make sure you have the AMD Dishonored HotFix Drivers! it fixes a ton of issues also!

Awesome! I will update later with pics and link.
Edit 1: Added specs, fixed layout
Edit 2: Thank you /u/xueloz for pointing out that in order to be able to save the priority you just download the full ProcessHacker and not the portable (minimal) version.
Edit 3: Patch Confirmed!This boost still applies and still will work after this patch
Edit 4: Alternatively, if you don't want to download the program, you can use an AutoHotKey script developed by /u/fflawpunkhere
