Yeah, you just have to be a bit patient. I don't think it's really "updating" but more like decompressing the files onto your HDD. The speed of it really depends on your setup: I'm running Steam on a HDD, for example, but I have that one HDD dedicated for only games and it's not bogged down by the OS; this ended up taking me about 15 minutes, I think.

Are there any instructions for doing that?

I like mine better.
Hey, neoenigma, mind if I ask how you get noclip to turn on? I love taking some well composed shots myself but didn't even know this kind of stuff was possible.

Steam is giving me a missing exe. error. Verified integrity and all dat. I'm annoyed.
I have the same specs (16gb of ram). It runs flawlessly with everything maxed. I'll post my benchmark around 7am est. But, the initial test ran well above 60fps.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I had that issue too.
Exit Steam.
Delete AppCache Folder.
Restart Computer.
Restart Steam.
Fixed it for me. Good luck!!

That said, I've already crashed once, too. Also, I got a "disk read" error. Steam is just giving me trouble. I think I'm just gonna head to bed. I should, anyway.
Also, for those that care:
i7 930 @ 3.6, GTX670 4GB OC'd to 1200MHz, 12GB RAM, 10K RPM Raptor Drive
Ran the benchmark with every single option at Ultra/Max @ 1080p.
Average was 58fps.

I'm on i5 3570k and MSI 7850 2GB, both stock, and im running around 60~+. I get frame drops bad with v-sync on though, and it locks to 30 for some reason. I hate v-sync its so frustrating. Any way to not get shit drops and no tearing? I'm leaving it off at the moment.
I'd love an answer to that question.

Turn off vsync in the game and enable it in either Nvidia CP, CCC, or D3DOverrider

I came here wondering the same thing.
Also, what's the default FOV and where would I go to to change it?
Any Radeon settings posted up?

If its anything like Dead Space, D3Doverrider's vsync + triple buffering should help

I don't turn it on. I've created my own table for Cheat Engine with hotkeys bound to modify my coordinates and freeze my falling speed (basically, disabling gravity).
Once I polish it up a bit, I can post a little tutorial... but you need to download and install cheat engine. Helps to be familiar with it, but not required.
I've seen a few people wonder about how well the game's performance scales with SLI, so here are my results:
1680x1050, UltraDX11_DDOF preset:
1680x1050, UltraDX11_DDOF preset, SLI disabled:
Relative differences (average framerate):
Welcome Centre: +28.8fps
Town Centre: +70.77fps
Raffle: +67.01fps
Monument Island: +95.7fps
Overall: +55.3fps
Edit: Oh, and the GPUs in question are GTX 670s.

That would be amazing. Being able to take shots in this game would be glorious. Art direction in this game is amazing. Already itching to get outta work to boot it up again, ha!
can anyone link to the ultra SMAA injector, im tired :b
also I think I figured it out: when the framerate is locked in-game (60), each little drop brings the framerate to a locked 30 for a second or so. This doesnt happen without in-game vsync and using d3doverrider instead
the trade off is that d3doverrider is getting me pretty awful input lag. I doubt the shooting will be much precise but i'd still like them to fix it since the in-game vsync was surprisingly not giving me any.

Hmm, min fps is lower in some sections there. Is it noticeable?
BeekleMatter

Wow dude thank you! I lost 5-10 frames but that's okay. I can deal with max settings at 50~ fps.
you seen it too?
I'm not sure how that translates to gameplay as I haven't actually played the game yet (shock, awe, etc.
). I assume the rather low minimum framerates being reported by people are due to caching issues.

I can't even get the game to launch if I'm using d3doverrider. I've been having that problem in a lot of games lately (arma 3 alpha)

Anyone know why the game will reconize my logitech gamepad but not any of my xbox360wireless controllers? Using a wireless receiver. Steam Big Picture and all other games work fine with the 360 controllers. Infinite I can not get to work for the life of me (though finds the logitech everytime).

Anyone here besides me getting crashes every 10 to 15 min of playing? Some people on the steam forums are having the same problem. It is making the game unplayable.

That's what it's REALLY for
The outside areas... I just couldn't take screenshots from ground level. Also... Kylen is using an unfinished version by request. I'll still post it up here later.

So what option is the biggest performance hog? I'm using a 480 and my frames will go from 60 to 30 randomly.
Thankyou so much. This tweak all but eliminated the stuttering I was getting when entering new areas
yikes at the LOD in shadows. There's a hard line in front of you that makes them proper as you approach. Ive encountered this in many games but it's pretty damn close from the character here
barely noticed until this area because it only happens on dynamic shadows. That's bad.
I've been noticing that too.
There are some really obvious ones, like on the side of a building.
AO and shadows.

Only ones I can remember that do that are this game and TF2. There's got to be more, but I can't for the life of me remember.

I found this on the steam forums but for some reason can't find it again.
Open up Xengine.ini which should be in bioshock infinite's folder in your my games folder(in your documents folder) Search for "OneFrameThreadLag" It should be true change to false. I also did the poolsize increase and that seemed to minimize stuttering I believe.

This. This is what I do for every game with my 650M.
I have the same laptop. It runs at 1920x1200 with custom settings that are about medium / high and 30fps. I feel like I don't belong here with all these people maxing out the game with their "rigs".
