See it all the time.
"PC port sucks guess I'll get PS5/Xbox version which runs even worse...for reasons"

Do they even have a PC? Makes you wonder. Anybody on PC should know they could just lower some settings to get better performance.
I’m sure DF will have a video talking about optimal settings for those who think there are too many choices.

They call it rofif syndrome. It's curable but requires extensive therapy.

 

[tmlDan]

Even in this case, the PC version is so much better.

true, can't wait for it to have so many issues when i play it on PC later this year when its still not properly fixed

I'm still kickin it old school with 9900k and 3090. I hope it's not horrible.

I got some brand new zip ties to manage all my cables. There's gonna be no code getting crossed with messy wires. It's all flowing the same direction. Nice and streamlined. The most important thing when it comes to framerates.

Also, I'm thinking about buying fresh batteries for the controller.

 

[John Bilbo]

Game ran great and had a variety of selectable options to scale Unreal Engine 5 performance. You need at least a 4th gen NVMe SSD, but other hardware is not particularly taxed.

...What's wrong with tekken?
Runs beautiful for me since day 1.

The game keeps crashing. I think it was better at launch. Check out message board on Steam.

The last public build is from like almost a month ago though.

 

[Spukc]

Are they also “aware” people paid top money to play it day one?

 

[Yerd]

rofif you know it’s true

Sorry, that's all I could think of when I read this comment.

 

[Beechos]

Denuvo strikes again or maybe not.

 

[dorkimoe]

Thank god for Steam's refund policy. Now I can ignore Dragon's Dogma 2 (until it gets fixed anyway) and focus on Helldivers 2.

yeah going to buy it and see how it runs and refund if its ass

Any idea what is causing it? I haven't experienced a single crash recently even after running it for five consecutive hours.

 

[Mister Wolf]

If Larian was able to clean up their CPU utilization issues in the big city then I know Capcom will fix this.

 

[John Bilbo]

Yup. They really should have fixed it by now.

Well according to the steam users it might be a memory leak. If you have 32gb ram you might be safe from the crashes. I have 16 gb.

Try playing the map with rain and see if it crashes. For me it crashes frequently. But then again the game crashes also while loading training or when someone does a rage art.

The crash message was UE5 something error. I cannot check it right now, but there's an atleast 77 pages long crash thread on Steam forums.

Luckily symptoms are easy to spot

"PC port sucks guess I'll get PS5/Xbox version which runs even worse...for reasons"

runs worse or not but console versions are usually trouble free. Get day early or on release, install, play. That's it.
HDR works, game graphics and performance is what it is, you are not changing anything about it and accept it.
And on ps5, you get dualsense haptics, 3d audio in some games and so on.... AND THE DISC ! OF COURSE

I like that with console gaming. Even if I can get better fps on pc with tweaking, I am kinda done with tweaking. I did it for years, decades.
Buy a game, tweak it for hours since usually I can't just put everything to max and I don't want to go too low either... or there are problems. Usually it's just fine but I just want to get the game and go.
Obviously the newer the system, the better the experience but I've wasted hours on crashes and comparing settings in re4 remake for example and I would be half way finished with the game on ps5 by that time to be honest.
Even with the game runs perfectly on pc, Just because the options are there, I like tweaking them. I feel the need to compare settings. How this looks, how that looks etc.
It is a part of pc experience I like and cherish... just not recently. Recently I like palying on console. And that's years "recently"

So yeah, good luck seeing what setting you can forgo to get better cpu performance while I will just be playing.
Maybe it's my OCD because I MUST know the settings. Same reason I dont really like modes on console games.
That's what life as a pcmr gamer made of me. Pc created that monster

 

[rofif]

rofif you know it’s true

oh I know too well
But I found my peace. I AM CONTENT. If that's my problem, I am ok with it

 

[Kenpachii]

game doesn't have have dlss 3? yea badly optimized

 

[FunkMiller]

Feels like a 'wait a few weeks' game. Think I'll probably go with Rebirth first, and pick this up on PC when they've fixed it.

[Buggy Loop]

Holy fuck the resolution on PS5 looks bad

 

[vkbest]

Looks like a 10 years old game with a 15 years old game performance

Yeah, I guess I am lucky to not hit the limit with 32GB of DDR4. Shame about the memory leak. Those are hard to correct when they are likely on an engine level.

 

[Mister Wolf]

The console framerate is awful.

 

[King Dazzar]

But I thought it was just the consoles with their rubbish CPU's. Surely it couldn't be down to poor optimization? Saw this a mile off.

 

[R6Rider]

But I thought it was just the consoles with their rubbish CPU's. Surely it couldn't be down to poor optimization? Saw this a mile off.

That's just the first excuse used in cases like this.

And then you have plenty of other games that are doing far more CPU wise all while running at higher resolutions AND higher frame rates.

 

[Interfectum]

That console resolution...

 

[BennyBlanco]

Glad I sprung for the 13700k. Well see how it holds up.

 

[Kacho]

Wow that’s rough on console and that’s just the starting area. Looks like a 360 game.

 

[TheStam]

I had hoped RE Engine would do it's magic, but I guess open world games are a different beast. It really doesn't look like anything that should run that badly, it's one of those Japanese games which looks to have the bones of a PS3 game with a fresh coat of paint. It will probably be patched to a better level at least. Good that they have DLSS 3, but I had some faint hope that this would be playable on Steam Deck, but it's running at below 20 fps there it seems.

 

[CrustyBritches]

What a clusterfuck.

 

[Mister Wolf]

 

[BacklashWave534]

Remove Denuvo and magicallaly the famerate issues go away.

50% GPU usage, LOLOLOL. What the fuck this game is calculating on CPU?

Curious how those numbers would look if Denuvo was removed.

 

[rofif]

are you guys savants?!
I am sitting here, watching this on 48" tv in my face and the compresison is eating all the resolution differences you could extrapolate from that video.
Looks about identical and you are acting like if one version was 240p lol. be real

 

[BacklashWave534]

How much Democracy can you possibly spread before you get bored

 

[rofif]

banned source.
But RT looks pretty good if not a bit lacking.
Surely could use a bounce more or two. Seems too dark in some shadowed areas but maybe it's better with HDR on

 

[Mister Wolf]

 

[ulantan]

Maybe there should be a pc pro.

 

[R6Rider]

Looks different here, but not so much in outside areas or at night.

 

[john2gr]

Denuvo has nothing to do with it. The only thing that Denuvo can introduce (when badly implemented) are stutters which happen when the game tries to "ping" the Denuvo server. You won't magically get a 40% performance boost by removing it.

 

[rofif]

yeah most difference in that vid.
But I would wager, while RT looks obviously better, it is to dark.

 

[kOsmikcoffee]

Playing with friends, an unlimited amount. I MUST do my duty for Super Earth.

Without RT Dragon's Dogma 2 looks like a PS3 game

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Pre order canceled will wait for fix

What's the point of preordering a digital game??

Good Work Capcom. Shitty framerate on consoles and less shitty framerate on PC.

 

[winjer]

Another broken game at launch.
These companies are making it very hard for people to want to buy games when they release.
It has become mandatory to wait months for patches, for almost every game.

 

[Randall365]

[rofif]

And you really wrote that? really?
cmon man.
Are you going to fight outside or inside with a fireplace?
Besides, as I've said. RT looks better in some scenes but way too dark. Lacks bounce or two

It looks identical for most of the video. Same graphics and resolution too. At elast it's not OH GOD SO LOW like said above
