100% sure. I only have steam on this 1 machine (don't use mobile app). Didn't do anything different this time, to the previous times I have done it. Only difference is, I am now on Windows 10... whereas all my previous VPN unlocks were done on 7 and 8.1

I'm also on Win10. Strange.

So are people saying that GMG is doing the same as the grey market key sellers?

In some cases, yes.

Just played the first two missions without any crashes due to memory leaks.

1440p

780ti
16gb ram
3570k @4.6ghz

had to turn off volumetric lighting to get 60fps, still dips to 54 or so sometimes.

Anyone with an ultrawide display got their hands on this yet? How does it look? I'm guessing the 21:9 support isn't there, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'm not sure I want to put in that money before I see it fixed (either by the community or Treyarch).

What VPN client are you using? Over the past few years, some VPN clients simply stopped working for me when trying to unlock Steam games.

Nowadays I use the SoftEther client with the VPN Gate plugin and it works every time.

So I went ahead and Overclocked my 970. Turned up all settings to max in the game and it ended up running a little better.

Just on the menu tho it started freezing. Menu alone uses 3GB of Vram, game itself used 4GB . I was able to finish up the first mission and went ahead and quit. CPU is still maxed the whole time tho. SSD is barely getting touched.

Spent half the night fucking around with a VPN before realising AVAST was stopping it working. HAd logged out on my ipad , phone computer etc before that and no luck. It was just blind luck i tried disabling my virus software and it worked after that.


Performance wise I'm getting 60fps @1080p with everything on high apart from transparency and lighting , smaa 2x.

Game is pretty smooth apart from a weird low fps thing for the first 10 seconds of each round.

Edit 2500k @4.4Ghz / 7970GE 3GB / 8GB Ram

If what I'm reading in this thread is correct, a 970 will get you 1080p60, just not with everything set to Extra
Click to expand...

I just got 1080p/60 on Extra with my OCd 970. I think once they patch whatever is going on maxing the game on a 970 shouldn't be too hard.

I take this back. I just restarted the first level and got some dips during the opening. Open areas seem to be more stable.

Hope this is good!

Avast has become pretty rough over the years in general.

Japan is good to go as well.

Anyway, for those that are stuttering,

the key to that sometimes has been limiting the Resolution Scale before 100%. I have mine set to 90%. The other part is limiting the frames to 60FPS.

This was said by the dev, and it looks like it is still true to the release.

But I am running on a GTX 670/ i5 3570k so maybe others could do higher.

GMG is bullshit. I cant believe people got Nuketown packs form them after hopping on and buying the recent 39.99. My key didnt have it and i paid 45 for it weeks ago. GMG are doing shady shit. How the fuck to they get a mix of keys like that if they arent reselling shit from all over the place?

It isn't as bad as beta, and the mouse floaty feel is definitely gone. That was the most annoying thing for me during the beta.

I also haven't updated the graphics drivers yet, so maybe that will help.

I'll let you know once I install the new graphics drivers.

I am going back and forth between the ASUS Hero and Z710-AR. Leaning towards the Hero.
Click to expand...

I went back and forth between both choices as well. I went with the Deluxe because of the color scheme, extra silver radiator below the CPU and WiFi. The Hero will still be a great board but I preferred the Deluxe. You'll be happy with either!

Edit: Oops AR. Thought you meant Deluxe. Can't go wrong with ASUS really.

Hi everyone,
We are super excited to be rolling the game out and we are actively looking through the community feedback.

There have been reports of certain i5 CPUs having performance issues causing very low frame rates - We are still working on the final solution for this issue, but we have had reports that changing WorkerThreads = 4 to WorkerThreads = 2 in your config.ini file can help (In the game folder, commonly located here, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops III\players\config.ini).

We have also noticed that some systems may get better input response with FPS Cap set just below refresh rate. If you have a 60hz monitor, you can try enabling Vsync and setting your FPS Cap to 58.

The beta did that to me. Oddly enough I had a similar issue with Battlefront but it was much worse and would last for a minute on Hoth. Only a few seconds on the other map.

Wow, so I just got my key from GMG and I didn't expect it to be this big of a game. Gotta free up some space :/

Yes agreed! Treyarch has an awesome PC dev team. They are all about being transparent. PCDev rocks!

3440x1440p 21:9 Curved 60hz.

980ti - i7-5820k, 16gb RAM

Had everything maxed - SMAA X2 filmic, FOV 100 - still playing around with these settings as monitor and res is new to me.

60 fps but average 40-60. I did get dips into 30s during intensive moments, upto mission 4 atm.

Tested on SMAA x1 filmic and overclocked my 980ti by 100mhz from stock, stuck mostly to 60fps but still dips, can't tell any difference with AA so I will try without any AA after work if I can notice any jaggies.

Kudos to Treyarch, best looking COD by far and it might even top my list of best looking FPS games ever, you even have a body in first person now! Massive improvements to the engine unless they've gone with a new one.

Gave into the hype and got it off CDKeys for $37 (great price IMO). Hopefully my 970 and 8 gigs of RAM can handle it.

So after messing around some more with the settings I am comfortable that my rig is fine with mostly high/medium.

Whatever is causing the low FPS in the first 10-15 seconds of a map is also 100% my HDD, once the HDD load drops my FPS goes back up

I'm exactly the same. I'm sure I will enjoy the campaign and other modes. Just hope the online is up to snuff on PC this time because I really enjoyed Advanced Warfare then when I went online it was a laggy mess.

Is it looking that much better than AW? I think AW looked amazing on PC.
