4790k / 1060-6GB running @ 1080p with 60fps lock via rtss
Anyone? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=223869018&postcount=188
The test won't take long but it would highlight what I believe is a very strange problem: Mouse sensitivity may be directly affected by framerate.

To offer a counterpoint to the doom and gloom here, just know that it's not a shitshow for everyone. Personally, I'm running it just fine at 1440p.
i7 6700k @ 4.4
GTX 1080 moderate overclock
16 gigs ran
SSD
Windows 10
G-sync monitor
And I do not have the latest nVidia drivers. That's right, do not.
Everything is maxed out at ultra, v-sync off, and overall I'm getting a pretty smooth (not totally flawless, but pretty damn good) experience at 1440p. Mouse feels fine too with sensitivity up to 60.

I mean I have a 144hz monitor but my specs may not be useful in that test. Also I won't be home for another 5 hours.

If it's not flawless on that sort of rig then the game is absolutely cooked on PC.

just fine is a vague statement and doesnt really tell us anything.
Exactly.

Just tested, no issue with mouse sensitivity on really low and ultra. Mouse only acted weird when i had vsync off.

i5 6600k 4.5gz
MSI GTX 1070 overclocked by 140/300
16gb DDR4
1080p 144hz (btw)
set everything to ultra. What's adapative resolution? Mine is set to 75.
I get dips below to 60 quite often. The game seems to load after its done loading if you know what I mean. After quick loading, my frames will be like 30fps for like 3 seconds and it'll jump back to 70-100 (140+ in closed spaces)
everything is set to max
So yeah, if anyone can tell me what adaptive resolution is, would be appreciated. Googling it right after I type this out tho, lol

Well another hint but I don't have the time currently to look precisely after the source:

I have a feeling, due to the performance issues, it's 5. Doom was on 6 and look how that turned out.
So moving the mouse, say, 4 inches on Ultra moved your viewpoint the same amount when you were on Very Low? Well, maybe that's a bad test. Because my framerates between Ultra and Very Low are only ~15 FPS apart and the problem is more apparent with bigger framerate fluctuations.
Instead, I've found corners in the tutorial that will boost my framerate from 60 to 120, and I have to move my mouse a lot farther to turn when my framerate is at 120. It's so strange.
Not sure if it has anything to do with vsync.

I play overwatch/cs go with 500 dpi and man when I tried that on dishonored 2 i felt like I was crippled. Bumped it up to 2000 dpi and it still feels slower than my 500 dpi sensitivity.

Wonder why they went with modified id tech 5 over 6? 6 was great in DooM, 5 atleast on my old PC had stutter issues.
Either way, about to boot up in a bit and see the issues for myself. Really hope the mouse fix I quoted from someone fixes issues with the mouse.

When the art director Mitton really said that only 20-30% of the code remained it can't be the id Tech 6, Arkane Studios would have practically customized the id Tech 6 engine in parallel, which was in active rapid speed developmant by id Tech Studios.
Ok, I'm over 60fps 95 percent of the time and it feels like over 60fps, smooth and judder free.

I would guess that this game was deep in development while Tech 6 was stilling being worked on with Doom.

gotta admit, performance is majorly disappointing. The frame rate is all over the place 50-140 and the judder when i turn vsync off is horrible. Ugh.

Well, that's good to hear. I played the first one as a stealth game fairly strictly, at any rate.
Maaan. It just hurts knowing that there's a great game underneath the issues.
Judder is real.
980ti, i7 6700K @4.5 and 8 gb ram, installed on a ssd.
If I set everything to Ultra on 1080p, I get drops as low as 41 fps. After tweaking a bit, I've settled with mostly very high settings with some of them turned down to High. Now I get solid 60 most of the time but even this doesn't fix the stuttering and fps drops when looking at certain places or a in-game loading happens.

think i should just stop playing this game until the fix the performance issues? I don't think the I should be dipping anyWHERE below 60fps in this game. I mean it's great and all, but man does it run terribly. Specially when outside or i get in combat it dips to 40fps

Sorry if this has been mentioned. I'm playing everything on ultra at 1080p with Xbone controller. I found that if you turn up the control sensitivity it causes stutter/judder, but at its default it's smooth, but I'm just going through the tutorial.
Just finished tutorial. Ran well. There is a fair amount of input lag though. I guess it's more tolerable on controller than mouse.
I'm going to start the game now. Leaving the controller sensitivity on the default as increasing it causes stutter.
My setup. 980ti/3770k/16GB/win10.

Running with everything maxed on a 1080 and 6700K.
I am also encountering judder, especially when turning 180 degrees (so I'm guessing it's perhaps related to streaming). I locked the framerate to 60 using RTSS, and I am also using vsync. Funnily enough, even when the game judders and stutter, RTSS overlay is showing stable 60fps and perfect frametime of 16.6ms at all times (I observed similar behavior in another great port - Mafia III). So the at the very beginning the game never dropped below 60fps for me, but the judder is noticeable nonetheless.
I also hoped that judder will be reduced if I change power management from "optimal power" to "prefer maximum performance" but it did not.
The textures are better than in the first game but still relatively poor for end of 2016 standards. I get it they were going for this painterly/watecolour look and it works on environment textures, but not on thing such as posters, leaflets, etc. Also, some textures seem to be oversharpened and exhibit ringing artifacts on text (or maybe that's compression artifacts, I'm not an expert). Some screens (one texture is really horrible and a throwback to Dishonored 1 textures):

Playing exactly like you and had the same problems u discribed in Mafia 3, can i ask how u will play the game now? I mean the judder is just breaking the game for me, i have stable 60FPS and stable Frametimes but the Game is still not enjoyable for me, it does not matter how much i turn down the settings or smth else.

this is what I'm getting just standing on a ledge and looking at a certain point everything is ultra at 1080p
can anyone recommend what to turn down so the game still looks good, but at least run consistently at 60 at least? I run tomb raider at 90-100fps except in very rare areas and that game looks way better

yeah, but it runs worse then deus ex, in my opinion. Such a shame too. Going from 120fps to 49fps is really fucking jarring

This all makes me very happy to hear. I love exploration in games like this, cannot wait to dig in!
There's not much to be done - we have to wait for an official patch, or unofficial community fix.
The game is not even officially released for everyone, so hopefully the fixes are coming.
Insane amounts of aliasing and very dodgy rendering distance drops quality of all of that so hard. You need to be very close for stuff to look good.
How image quality deteriorates;
It has its moments;

Got one day early access with my pre-order.
Edit: Or this was actually the day of the release in the UK? I don't know.

Well, it started out decent on 4K Ultra with a 1070. Then I hit the throne room during gameplay (cutscene was fine) and it kinda tanked. Then I got out of the tower overlooking Dunwall and hooooo boy... down to maybe 5 fps while looking out over the buildings? Geez. Lowering resolution did nothing it seems. Feels like its just completely lacking any sensible lod scaling. I'll try with the Auto setting tomorrow. Game looks great maxed out at least imo.

Game performs like ass. Mouse smoothing in menus that can't be disabled. V-sync turned off increases input lag everywhere. Auto-detected visual settings set nearly everything to medium, game is still a stuttering mess. Arkham Knight was bad, but I was still able to play it. This on the other hand is unplayable as is.
Welcome to id Tech 5. Why anybody would make a game with this engine is beyond me. There's not a single well performing game on this engine. Dishonored 1 ran on Unreal Engine 3. What the hell happened. This game is going to receive absolutely terrible reviews on Steam if Arkham Knight, Mafia III, etc... is anything to go off of.
I don't expect any of this to be fixed.

It's an early fork of 6, which itself is a modified 5 rather than the massive overhaul Carmack envisioned.
See the first reply of the thread.
Straight up gross looking. After the first game looked so damn clean too, what a mess.

Wikipedia page says 5, because that's what most other sources have indicated. If it's 6, it certainly doesn't show.It's an early fork of 6, which itself is a modified 5 rather than the massive overhaul Carmack envisioned.
