The save is bound to your steam community name. It won't even save if you have a non-standard character in your name.

Well, caved in and bought my first ever full price digital game 
The good news, it runs rather well. I'm playing this at 1080P, with shadows on, 1024x1024 shadow resolution and FXAA and it plays fine. No idea how many FPS I get, but it looks and plays a lot better then my X360 version of Ultimate.
This is on an AMD FX6300, 8GB DDR3, Samsung EVO SSD and an ancient Radeon 5670... (a 65 midrange card from 2010 or so) so those who are on the fence because of system requirements, don't sweat it.

Do you think it's possible they'll add other resolutions?
It isn't, more people are reporting that LT/RT and the right stick are swapped. Left stick/dpad and face buttons work fine.
Tried with a wired 360 controller, wireless and an xbox one controller. Maybe I'll try the dualshock 3.
Which is what I'm getting at. If you change your name from "Profile Name" to "Profile Name Two" it'll ERASE the entire save. What the fuck, Tecmo? There is no reason for the save to be tied to a username like that. Why the fuck isn't it tied to the steam userid number?

Cool. I guess I won't get it.
What is ReShade?
So I'm not the only one having controller issues then?

Oh yes i agree, i was not defending it or anything. Just wanted to add the bit about why the save system is broken at the moment and about the non-standard characters.
WiiU Pro with Mayflash adapter also works great, although I had to rebind A/B/X/Y due to button placement on the Pro Controllet.
it's a fucking shame, really

Have the menus and after battle animations always been locked to 30? Get a steady 60 during gameplay.

Could someone with Haswell Intel HD 4400/4600/5000 on desktop or laptop test how the game runs at settings and resolution equivalent to 360/PS3? I'd really appreciate it!
Uf now that im playing a fighting game in a long time what is the best way to improve myself. I did some of the training missions but it's still hard to use counters in real fight. In arcade mode i lost 2- 3 times on the 5 level (normal difficulty), so should i stick with training missions or should i continue to play the single player and try to use moves there.

So the price is still the same. Anyone know if you get the pre-order bonuses after buying launch?

The price is discounted until online mp is patched in.
Hm game seems to have bugged out on me. All costumes for all characters are unlocked, Showcase mode is definitely disabled (even restarted the game to make sure). Lucky^^
EDIT: Not ALL characters. Only those who were in the base DOA5 and didn't need to be unlocked it seems? Strange.
EDIT 2: Disregard, only DLC costumes lol

Ah thanks makes sense.
Yep.
Counters are going to be difficult unitl you're familiar with characters and animations. If you don't know what the computer is doing, you're just blindly guessing which attacks might come out. I'd say a good thing to do would be to go through everybody's command training and combo training. The tutorials also show a lot of basics.

I'm trying to use GEDOSATO for the first time but I don't understand how it works.
I guess you choose some resolutions like:
renderResolution 1366x768@60
renderResolution 3840x2160@60
and then it should render at your screen resolution when you launch a game with one of the previous resolutions selected? I tried the 1366 on my 1360 monitor but it doesn't work. Borderless Fullscreen doesn't work either, I think I'm missing something

Why use GeDoSaTo when the game supports super sampling?
I'd still like my screenshots to be higher res
I removed the renderResolution and just had DOA do its thing.
So the price is still the same. Anyone know if you get the pre-order bonuses after buying launch?
Doubtful since that was "pre-launch" and they added things for the "delay" on launching a month later than the console versions.
What's funny to me is that the savedata is in a literal "savedata" folder within the steamapp/common/gameid area if you "view local files." It just doesn't have that save tied to your name. So WTF is going on with Tecmo's porting that it can't save EVERYTHING to that location no matter what name you have?
Edit: I just changed my name from what I originally had to a different no special character (*, ;, etc.) profile name and my Raidou outfit I unlocked via Arcade is still there. I'm going to check with the special characters to see if it triggers an erase there.
Seems like those breakable costumes might come as DLC

https://steamdb.info/app/311730/depots/It isn't, that folder only has a bunch of .pngs and thumbs.db.
The real savefolder is: \Documents\KoeiTecmo\DOA5LR\2955c1b (or whatever 8 characters exist in your pc)

They're definitely all in for dlc it seems.
Weird, there's also a save data folder inside your Documents & Settings folder. Resolution and shadow settings are stored as a plaintext file, but you can't invoke unsupported resolutions by modifying it.

Breakable costumes?
Game runs well despite all it's caveats and is pretty looking/enjoyable(for me at least) at max settings.

I guess I should mention my setup/settings:

Should we be worried that it's the only DLC entry that says "Unused DLC"?
You're right. The actual save folder is in \Documents\KT\DOA5LR\*id*
I just changed my name from a different profile name to "*XXXX*" with the *'s included and it still had my Raidou outfit I unlocked two name changes ago.
So either the erase is random, special characters randomly trigger it (*knock on wood it doesn't happen often?*) or Tecmo fixed it while I was downloading. IDK. Someone in their review said if you change your name your progress and outfit unlocks/etc is wiped so I'm trying to mess around to see what triggers it if anything before I actually go through all that work unlocking titles/outfits for online.
Yeah, the pre-order subs were yanked after the game unlocked.
Edit: Oh, wait, I was thinking of "No size". The latter portion of my post still applies, though.
There's actually two variants of this DLC: the PS4/XBone versions have damage modeling (although not as extensive as Senran Kagura itself), whereas the PS3/X360 version does not. It'll be "interesting" to see if the PC version of the DLC allows for the clothing damage.

A little AA goes a long way, I would have taken some solid AA over all the breast physics nonsense they focused on in the console ports.
Can't you force better AA via your GPU/drivers?
Okay, my save with two outfit unlocks and Titles unlocked saved fine from "original no-special character name #1"->"different no-special character name #2"->"*Special Character Name #3*" just fine. So either Tecmo-Koei fixed this (despite warning about it in the manual), the save doesn't wipe despite special characters (AND UNLOCKING SHIT while in that name/different name from original) or it's a random wipe. Either way, if that reviewer is right about it randomly wiping from changing profile names Tecmo NEEDS to fix that. There is no reason for that. As it is, it seems the save once you make a save will have an ID that doesn't change in the documents folder and it should (*knock on wood*) be fine to change your profile name/display name however you like.
I had, then I enabled all the DSR factors in nvidia control panel and it added a 3840x2160 resolution too.
You'll need a GTX660 or better to play it in 4k.

I have the following rig
Intel I5 4690k
16GB RAM
Geforce GTX 770 4GB
I'm running at 1080p, forcing FXAA and AFx16 (through Nvidia panel). I usually get locked 30fps during intros and 60fps during gameplay. However, I do get a lot of screen tearing (goes frequently between 59-60fps). I have Adaptive V-sync on in Nvidia control panel. Also, I do notice some infrequent drops to 44fps at times. I wonder what the cause of this is. Is it the background effects? It even happened when I dropped the resolution to 1600x900.
Other than that, I actually prefer this version to the PS4 due to the image quality alone.
EDIT: I disable Adaptive v-sync and the screen tearing was gone.

I think he's talking about the console version here. This PC version uses SSAA, which is basically downsampling the image from a higher resolution. One of the most resource intensive AA implementations, but the results are fantastic.

This is officially too much for my toaster, lol, I can only get fluid gameplay at 1024 x 768. I honestly don't mind low resolutions as my PC has been less than adequate for a while, but I get The Order-like black bars and a stretched image. It's okay, I'm about to buy a new PC anyway The other issue is that it pretends the triggers on my favorite controller don't exist :/ Not a huge deal, though, I don't need a dedicated P+K button and I mapped the other two button combinations to L and R. I have to pause with R3 though, and you're not allowed to change it. Hardly a big deal, but it's pretty odd.
Also, I didn't know the game would keep its special price after yesterday, I would have preferred not having these particular "rewards". I'm having a lot of fun :]

Yeah, the controls are all fucked up. My keyboard isn't even recognized in-game. So I'm having to use a PS3 controller as a 360 controller to even play the game.
You can uninstall that, you know. Uncheck the pre-order bonus and the game will update to uninstall the "key" required for those.

Yeah, SSAA is indeed expensive on PC but the console versions have no AA whatsoever, I believe SMAA 1TX would have made this game look pretty jaggy free on consoles in the vein of RYSE on the xbone.
