You know how Oculus rift and VR image processing adds CA to negate CA from the optics, is the same thing possible with a sweet fx injected CA?
Like... with reverse colour orientation? Sure it would add CA to hud elements though.

Sad, less options even with Nvidia's crap making up half of em.
Telling people to check their settings might make more sense if the options menu looked more like this:
Since this trainwreck doesn't seem to stop might as well laugh at it in the process

Four pages long. Were at 62 for Knight and counting.

Should also be noted all of the other games had multiple AA options (Origins had TXAA too) whereas Knight just has.....antialiasing on/off

Agreed! But maybe i've done something wrong in the past, cause that software ruined some of my games installations! I'll try and test it again sometime!
That is so messed up. And even with DX11 on, there is no AO or rain shaders? So what else is being cut?
Is there anyway to verify this outside of afterburner?
Talos Principle right? I had quite the nerdgasm when I checked it out last week
Edit: Wait, corpses? Must be a different game. Many of the settings are almost identical though. Must be a cryengine thing

Less options, more problems. What was the thinking here?

Serious Sam 3 actually. But still, basically the same engine.
That's Serious Sam 3, but both are made by Croteam using the Serious Engine, so they may have the same graphic options.

For sure. But up to now, none of the so called fixes have done anything to make the game perform better.

This is what I can't figure out.
Yeah realized that after posting. Because AFAIK, there are no corpses in Talos Principle
Nvidia has been very quiet on this disastrous launch:
- No formal comment on the issues or their cooperation with WB/RS to fix any of the various glaring issues
- No Andy in the forums here on Neogaf (he tends to show up in these PC performance threads)
- No tweak guide to be found on geforce.com (common on their "meant to be played games" at launch)
- No PC version sent out to reviewers for launch ("PC gamer" finally go their copy a day after the game was already out!)
- No HBAO+ or TXAA support in the game (which are very common in Nvidia "Gameworks" titles (in fact their is no ambient occlusion whatsoever for the time being)
This is not a coincidence... :/

Can't say I blame him.
He probably doesn't want to get involved in the controversy.. and if he shows up here, he'll likely be dragged in and possibly piled on by angry people, which wouldn't be fair to him.

Incompetent porting house rushed this out at the last minute because they greatly underestimated how long it would take to port over a game that was likely already delayed for performance problems and had to deal with Nvidia graphics effects stacked on top.
That about sums up my speculations.

Doesn't have the faceworks they mentioned either so something has to have gone horribly wrong all around.
The fact that one of these has to be made for so many AAA PC game titles released so far this year is quite telling.
Lol this got me.

To be honest it's not fair to market the game with completely unrealistic footage and at best skewed specs and at worse complete lies.
I'm not blaming Andy who I assume is a community rep but as a front face for the company he is my first port of call when a game that has been marketed to me for 2 years+ looking outstanding arrives looking average and performing worse on my £1000 high end pc than it does on a console that cost 35% of that.
It's only the smoke and paper effects that do this for me. I can confirm it's still using DX11 with the light shafts and rain effects on.
Just did some testing with texture pop in in the area called Midtown mall (since it was near my spawn point and has a lot of store signs which seem like notable offenders of pop in)
Uncapped FPS (well, 144 since that's my monitor) = pretty much never popped in while I was standing there. Ended test after 30 seconds or so.
Basic forced 30 FPS Ini cap = 4-5 seconds. Still looked kinda bad but at least popped up.
Edited Ini to 60, cap via Rivatuner to 30 = textures not popping for a good 15 seconds at least, some of them popped but not all of them.
So, basically, at least on my end, you can't edit the ini's FPS at all, even if you cap it via other sources, if you want even semi-acceptable pop in.
Really hope they fix this, because even the best option is still pretty shitty at times.

No AO though, correct?
Well I meant with .ini tweaks that work, the only one in the OP is how to uncap the framerate. I had done a few tweaks that seemed to help, but have since reinstalled and wanted a more definitive list of current working edits.
So for AO im using: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/3989/
You need sweetfx + reshade + mastereffect and then override with those settings the default sweetfx settings.
It also adds SMAA which is nice considering the game only alows for FXAA.
Here's how it looks:
Yes, I've experienced this too just as you tell.
I still set adaptative vsync w half refresh through nvcp to try to improve the frametime.
Did somebody try to cap the fps at 25 or lower than 30 in general yet?

That looks really good, thanks for the link.
Setting this up now. No more crashing after disabling fog and clutter effects, and I'll deal without the other missing stuff. I just don't want to end up getting story stuff spoiled because I waited.
Literally the best options menu in a PC game.
OK yes, game has problems during times when assets are streamed in [sometimes during flying, almost always during driving]...
...but...
... after 5 hours, game runs totally fine in >95% of my playtime on FX8350+270X [2gb].
So yeah, it's shame that problems are there, but I am still highly enjoying the game.

Played some yesterday without much issue. Today, however, it has crashed three times during start-up.

Has anyone done anything in the way of a comparison between the Xbox One textures and the PC version? The latest rumour I'm hearing, is that the PC version is using the XO's textures albeit upscaled.
I'm having no issues running the game, with an unmolested .ini file (granted I still have the same missing features as everyone else, but no stuttering) but the textures look utterly bland, and it wouldn't surprise me at this stage.

Didn't check. I'm at lunch right now, but I can fire it up on my laptop when I get back to work and check.
Me too.
Again, not excusing this shit one bit. But it's basicaly the only thing keeping me from asking for a refund now vs when the patch hits. It's a fun game
I don't think there is, nor have I seen any difference in textures.... once they load. There is a bug right now that keeps low LOD textures on objects for varyign amounts of time. From a few moments to MINUTES. Luckily it's not happening all the time. Just enough to be noticeable and annoying.

I've been having a fairly smooth experience with everything on the highest settings, all the nVidia effects on. Only some stuttering for like half a second every once in a while.

i5 3570K at 4.2 ghz

Game is on my 7200 rpm HDD (SSD is too small)
But yeah, I haven't edited the ini so it's locked at 30 FPS and there is some pop-in in sections. The fact the PS4 has better graphics is biggity bullshit because the game is running smoothly for me at the moment.
