Byahahhaah

Well, I will try it out later but for now I am downloading the new nvidia drivers to help out with performance.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Don't the HD texture packs usually come after the game is released? And seperately to avoid destroying peoples caps?

I thought you had a statement from Ken or something.

BTW, I know the game is out in other regions, doesn't mean its over yet.



You sure you aren't experiencing screen tearing because you don't have vsync on?

Definitely not tearing, my monitor is 144Hz and I barely get tearing at all.
this is something like ambientmystic said, it locks the game for a split second and carries on, like booker will literally stop moving. A guy talked about it in the OT too having the same issue

 

[esai]

using a 660Ti @ 1920 x 1080 benchmark maxed out (DX11 DDOF on) gave me a solid average of 60.57 FPS

This makes me feel good. I can't wait to play.

 

[KyleN]

Damn this game is screenshot heaven.
Cant wait to see Jims work.

 

[Lulubop]

Textures look great, but I'd buy this game right now if we were sure a higher res pack was coming.

 

[AndyBNV]

Quick and dirty 3840x2160 SMAA Ultra shots downsampled to 1920x1080:

Benchmark results:

Settings: 3840x2160, max in-game settings, Alternate post-process, injected SMAA Ultra
Setup: 2-Way SLI GTX Titan, i7-2600K @ 4.6GHz

 

[Zeth]

^ Awesome shots.

So the textures are good, then?

 

[MarkV]

How can I play with english audio and another language subtitles?

 

[JaseC]

So such a low fps happens only at the beginning of the each benchmark? If yes, that its not a problem.

I doubt they're just particularly heavy moments of the benchmark as the minimum framerates are largely rubbish across the board. Just look at Andy's -- and he has two Titans (perk of the job, eh? ). Edit: He's running at 4k, though, so that's not the best example to use.

 

[beastmode]

So are those guys specifically praising Washington because he represents violence as opposed to science and law?

 

[Cannon Goose]

Anyone willing to take some comparison shots for some of the settings like AA and post processing?

 

[symphonask]

Shadow quality seems to have a big hit on framerate (I'm downsampling from 2560x1600) - on ultra some scenes would drop to 20fps, but on high I get around 50-60 fps. Running on a GTX 670.

Here's a comparison between shadows on high and ultra (DX11).

high

ultra

 

[Grief.exe]

Is there any mouse acceleration?

 

[AndyBNV]

I doubt they're just particularly heavy moments of the benchmark as the minimum framerates are rubbish across the board. Just look at Andy's -- and he has two Titans (perk of the job, eh? ).

I am running at 4K res At 1920x1080 I get an average of 140.22 frames per second.

 

[Coffee Dog]

So medium is console settings right? I just want to be able to play this thing on my 460 on at least console settings.

 

[antitrop]

Is there any mouse acceleration?

Yes, I turned it off. Also editting the .INI file to fix the Mouse Sensitivity slider is 100% necessary.

It's laughably fucked by default.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

High:

Ultra:

The maximum reported framerates always seems to vary wildly (see my benchmarks posted earlier), but the average framerate differences between the two settings are virtually non-existent.

Edit: I just compared VRAM usage between the two settings: 1522MB on High versus 1566MB on Ultra.

Did you happen to get the latest nvidia drivers before doing this? I share the 670's with you but have 16GB of 2133 memory and a 3930k at 4.6ghz.

 

[KKRT00]

Probably low.

 

[Dennis]

How is using a 360 controller working out?

Reminds me of Max Payne 3 lol

I'm VPN'ing right now.

 

[batman2million]

Someone give me some benchmarks for a 570! I is dying here!

 

[TheExecutive]

Not much of a looker and love the grumpy cat.

 

[Zeliard]

I dunno how the Konami code works with keyboard for 1999 mode (presumably it would work as you'd expect), but for those of you who don't want to or can't plug in a pad for that purpose, changing this in XUserOptions.ini should work:

bHasInput1999Code=True

Mine was already at true but I had also already unlocked the mode. I assume by default it's at false.

 

[Isaccard]

How is using a 360 controller working out?

Why would you want to play this with one?

 

[JaseC]

I am running at 4K res At 1920x1080 I get an average of 140.22 frames per second.

Yeah, I noticed that after posting, which is why I ninja-edited it out. A minimum of ~20fps is going to seem normal when the average is around twice that, haha.

Did you happen to get the latest nvidia drivers before doing this? I share the 670's with you but have 16GB of 2133 memory and a 3930k at 4.6ghz.

Sure did.

i have never had any problems playing a console port on anything short of max on a 460 at 1080p. hell, i was just playing ac2 maxed at 1440p.

 

[intheinbetween]

How is using a 360 controller working out?

wonderful!

 

[Dennis]

Why would you want to play this with one?

Because 360 controller > mouse for immersion.

I want to walk around in this world using an analog stick.

I am not trying to impress anyone with my ability to headshot someone with one pixel precision.

 

[Pagusas]

Why would you want to play this with one?

because its more fun to explore with analogue moment then WASD. Precision is pointless in an immersion game, and its nice to game on a couch with a big screen in front of you and full surround system blasting loud.

 

[beastmode]

Why not use both?

 

[abunai]

Mine, for reference.
UltraDX11_DDOF, 1080p. 3570k @ 4.6GHz, GTX 670 @ 1245/1730 (314.22 drivers), 8GB DDR3.

 

[antitrop]

With my mouse DPI setting at 3100 and Windows value at Default, I changed the INI settings to:

MinMouseLookSensitivity=0.100000
MaxMouseLookSensitivity=3.000000

And I'm finding the second "tick" from the left on the slider to be adequate with Mouse Accel off.

 

[Dennis]

Why not use both?

Mouse and controller?

eh, how would that work?

 

[Grief.exe]

This is why most previews are done with the PC version and a Xbox controller connected.

Far better for immersion if the screen isn't jerking around.

 

[beastmode]

Mouse and controller?

eh, how would that work?

Controller for exploration parts then switch for combat sections?

 

[Zeliard]

It's perfectly possible to just move the mouse around slowly and absorb the environment as you walk around and gaze at stuff, unless you're using some mutant-level high sensitivity.

My mouse is set to 4000 DPI at all times. Anything else feels like molasses.

 

[ambientmystic]

Yes, I turned it off. Also editting the .INI file to fix the Mouse Sensitivity slider is 100% necessary.

It's laughably fucked by default.

Is it the typical mouse smoothing entry in the XInput.ini file or is there an actual option in the game it self to disable mouse acceleration?

 

[sikkinixx]

This thing is gonna hurt my 1gb 460 isn't it? :-(

 

[PeterVenkman]

Curious to see how my 570 will do, if anyone has it I'd love their benchmark.

Also yeah, those textures. . .

 

[black_vegeta]

This.

Shadow quality seems to have a big hit on framerate (I'm downsampling from 2560x1600) - on ultra some scenes would drop to 20fps, but on high I get around 50-60 fps. Running on a GTX 670.

Here's a comparison between shadows on high and ultra (DX11).

Looks like Ultra is basically contact hardening shadows, but it doesn't look like a great implementation of it. I'll stick to high.

 

[-COOLIO-]

This thing is gonna hurt my 1gb 460 isn't it? :-(

probably high to max at 1080p for 40-60 fps is my guess. the 560 tis seem to be maxing the game. someone oblige us!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

2 questions

How much more is the DL to finish the pre-load and what is the size of the texture pack?

 

[TriniTrin]

why does the Ultra screen have worse shadows? or is it dynamic?

 

[angular graphics]

Gabe and his giant Steam key?

 

[abunai]

There's an option in game to turn off the mouse accel.

edit: hmm, changed DefaultbHasInput1999Code to 1 and bHasInput1999Code=True, but still can't choose 1999 mode. Where do you punch in the konami code?

 

[Dennis]

What is the recommended digital download option for Europe?

GamersGate?
Steam?

 

[Curufinwe]

Yes, I turned it off. Also editting the .INI file to fix the Mouse Sensitivity slider is 100% necessary.

It's laughably fucked by default.

Did they at least get the widescreen stuff right this time?

 

[antitrop]

Did they at least get the widescreen stuff right this time?

I changed the FieldOfView setting to =150 and cranked the in-game slider all the way to the right and it looks pretty good to me.
