Wonder of my ssd and 16gb ddr3 will negate this... Or do we think it's not a hardware issue??

I wouldn't count on it. I get that and I have two SSDs in RAID 0 and 16GB RAM @ 2000Mhz.

It uses up all my 690's vram I dont see much stuttering only when loading in another area is when stutters a few seconds.

Yeah, I think 4GB VRAM just doesn't seem to cut it anymore

Shit

 

[BraXzy]

Can someone help me out.. I'm pressing the screenshot button but nothing is coming up on my PC anywhere, not in documents/MyGames/Bioshock Infinite?

 

[MikeE21286]

Any thoughts on how this will play on a 15" macbook pro retina with 8GB ram?

Let's hope for a patch then since it can't be our setups.

Really you mean 2gb VRAM.

You mean the inbuilt Steam screenshot system? If you go to View > Screenshots in Steam they should come up and you can find where they are in the Steam folder through that.

Screenshots weren't registering via Steam or Afterburner for me.

Do we have any SGSSAA bits for this?

 

[JohngPR]

Yea not working for me either. I put Sweetfx and it's accompanying files in the win32 directory but no dice.

Weird. I used it and it works fine for me. Did you run a windows update recently? There was a an update I had to delete because it messed up my SweetFX.

It's DX11. Does SGSSAA work in DX11?

 

[Ironchef3500]

Side question for you, do you notice any different with two SSDs in RAID 0 over one? I love raid 0 and used it for years with my old hdds, wasn't sure to could tell with an ssd... aside from say synthetic benchmarks

 

[LiquidSword]

Hey I used VPN to unlock and have a quick question. Can I close the VPN and still play the game?

 

[jacksepticeye]

Someone said it was an Unreal engine problem, it happens with it apparently. The posted a fix but I didn't try it

Hey I used VPN to unlock and have a quick question. Can I close the VPN and still play the game?

yes. FlyVPN will disconnect after about 10 minutes on it's own anyway. As long as the game is open it will stay open, but if you exit the game with no VPN on then it will revert back to "Pre-load"

 

[PeterVenkman]

downloaded and starting it up. I'll see how my 570 benchmarks it - though based on this thread I'll need to go with with shadows on very high instead of ultra

 

[ScRYeD]

It's DX11. Does SGSSAA work in DX11?

Unfortunately no it doesn't dx9 it does.

 

[jim2point0]

Unfortunately no it doesn't dx9 it does.

This game doens't run in DX9. In the config, if you set DX10 and DX11 to false, the game won't even start. SO... there's that.

Downsampling seems to be it. Why the heck can't they put MSAA in there at least?

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Weird. I used it and it works fine for me. Did you run a windows update recently? There was a an update I had to delete because it messed up my SweetFX.

No my windows hasnt' updated anything. I use Sweetfx fine in other games. I really don't necessarily need it as the game looks amazing already.

 

[antitrop]

FXAA should just be left to consoles.

 

[JohngPR]

The AA solution for this game is FXAA. If you look at the benchmark spread sheet, it shows the settings you have and for AA it says FXAA.

Here's a few shots with SweetFX with SMAA (as well as the game's FXAA) and Lumasharpen on:

Ahh thanks, I forgot what button it was :L

What is with this game? I have pressed the screenshot button like a hundred times and I haven't even got anywhere significant at the start yet, amazing

 

[Santiako]

Runs great on my modest laptop with most things on high, I love UE3. Unrelated, but why did they ditch the save anywhere for a checkpoint system though, couldn't quit for 20 minutes because of that.

Okay now you've made me want to use Sweetfx. How the hell does it work?? I drop Sweetfx and it's files into the win32 directory where the game exe is and it doesn't work. I switched the dll's to make sure they are SMAA DLL's and it doesn't work. I'm going to try FXAA dll's.

 

[Mulligan]

I'm trying to downsample for the first time with an AMD card using the downsampling GUI but whenever i try to enter a resolution in the GUI i get a message 'ERROR: ADL_Display_ModeTimingOverride_Set<> failed!' Can anyone help?

In every DX11 game I can think of that uses MSAA, it isn't very effective. Crysis 3, Hitman: Absolution, Max Payne 3, etc. post-AA gives better results.

 

[Red]

JohngPR, how you using SMAA?

 

[Dennis]

Anyone test out the new Nvidia drivers?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Downsampling + smaa seems to do the trick for me

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

I'm having real trouble with the mouse sensitivity being too high. I tried modifying the DefaultUserOptions.ini to the settings that someone had posted earlier in the thread, but the options in the in-game scaler seem to be the same.

Edit: Specifically, I changed the settings to:

MinMouseLookSensitivity=0.100000
MaxMouseLookSensitivity=1.000000

Could anyone post an idiot's guide to reducing the sensitivity to something more manageable?

I use SweetFX Configurator...it does all the work for me. Looking at my directory, I have all of the files in the Win32 folder like you do. What eversion of SweetFX are you using?

JohngPR, how you using SMAA?

SweetFX Configurator. It dropped the files in Win32 (where the .exe for the game is) like you normally would from the looks of it.

 

[neonille]

Damn...i really need a new cpu (fx6100)
Really bad framedrops on some locations

Thanks.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Kinda glad to see I'm not the only one with texture pop-in and load-related stuttering.

That aside, the game runs great at 2560x1440 for me without any frame drops.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Anyone test out the new Nvidia drivers?

Been using them the whole time I played, actually downloaded them before I ever booted up the game. they're running pretty well, still have that weird stutter every now and then though

 

[Dio Brando]

My god, this game is beautiful.

 

[MikeE21286]

How are people playing it early? VPN unlock/other regions?

It's already unlocked everywhere but the Americas.

Wow, that looks crazy good!

 

[d00d3n]

I am sorry to report this, but I just got the classic (thought to be solved?) green squares freeze on my geforce 580 sli setup. The crash happened during the pivotal story moment of seeing the sky city for the first time. I have experienced the green squares bug in several games last autumn (assassins creed III, codblops II, far cry 3) and I am positive that I saw it in Infinite. Running latest nvidia drivers btw.

Voltage hacking required for nvidia users (400 and 500 series at least) to run bioshock infinite confirmed? Don't mess up initial impressions and bias yourself against the game like I did, just be smart and up core voltage.

It seems utterly ridiculous that the green squares bug is still an issue. Was the game playtested with widely used last gen nvidia hardware at all? Let me predict the time it will take nvidia to fix this based on their previous efforts: three months minimum.

 

[jacksepticeye]

I was using a VPN before it unlocked here, but now it is so I can play all I want lol

 

[antitrop]

As an American, I've been playing this game for the last 8 hours from a VPN.

But at this point it unlocks in NA in 3 1/2 hours, may as well just wait I guess.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Getting some unexpectedly low frames during the first benchmark section on my 570- the scenes where the camera pans over water drops me from 60 to 45. Aside from that section, I have it pretty locked, but this is after i lowered AO to low and Shadows to very high

Blaaaah. SweetFX isn't working for me. The log keeps saying the initialization of the renderer has failed. Screenshots dont work... settings dont work

On the plus side... my no-clip is coming along...

 

[Dio Brando]

It's already unlocked here on Brazil, for some reason.

 

[tea_and_crumpets]

Just stopping in to say it ran well on my humble Nvidia GT 650M. Set between "High" and "Very High" I got around 30 FPS.

Same here, have a 650M and decent laptop gaming rig, game runs very nice on 'Very High' settings (one below ultra). Looks fantastic as well.

 

[teokrazia]

Technically old or not, I love what I've seen so far.
Execpt for that AA, ugly as hell.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Where exactly is the file that people have been editing for stuttering and what specifically is its name?

The game runs extremely well for me, there's just two things I'm wondering about that I think belong in here.

1. The built-in VSync doesn't seem to work for me. I also can't seem to force it through D3DOverrider. Any suggestions here?

2. I wanted to record some footage of the game to show how well it's running on my PC with DXTory, the only problem is I cannot get that to work with the game either. Anyone have any ideas?

Forgot my specs:

Core i5 2500k Overclocked to 4.5 GHz
8GB RAM
AMD HD5850

 

[true Gek]

On my Core 2 Duo 3.1 ghz, 6750 DDR5 1 GB and 4 gb of ram it will run very bad i suppose...

 

[-PXG-]

This wait is killing me.

Thank goodness the latest drivers already include the SLI compatibilty bit. I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE it when inspector doesn't have 'em and I'm forced to search for them online.

FXAA is bit of a downer, but mrhandi's SMAA injector should do the trick, right?
