day one patch possibly? Also everybody needs to make sure to report their issues on the Steam forums so they can hopefully be fixed in a future patch
edit: two things the local dev posted
Problem here is that the game isn't running on MT Framework but on Capcom Vancouver's own engine.
So, I just had my first 20mins with DR3 and they've been quite good.
i5 4570 non-k
HD 7870 GHz without additional OC @ 14.4 driver
16GB DDR3-1333
running from my 7200 rpm WD Blue
I share the same settings as JBourne except that I turned motion blur off and AF to 16x. Haven't used the fps unlock just yet (as the VPN stuff is super annoying imo, so I just started it once). Never dipped below 30fps except for the cutscenes, where the framerate went down to 20... what the hell but whatever. No crashes, no super-long loadingtimes for me, only quitting took its time but again, whatever.
I hope the performance will remain like this, I'll take a look at the uncap tomorrow when the game is officially out for me. Looking forward to it, already had a fun time with the little I played

Think I can pull off 4K at 30fps locked with 2 highly oc'd Titans??
I'm thinking of getting this right now, but I'm not liking what I'm hearing too much.

Log out of steam (close it completely)
Get fly vpn: http://www.flyvpn.com
Log in with the free trail account: http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial
Select a Japan or Singapore server and connect
Log back into steam.
Wait a long ass time for the game to unlock
Play!

I will download it on my tablet and then once more on my desktop whence I return home next week.
And after playing once, you can quit the VPN and play it using the game's .exe. It'll have the Steam overlay still.
I had to ask RicochetGuro about that.

Locked? No chance. Capped, yes.
Logging back in after shut down changed the play button back to "pre-load", but clicking still starts the game. Steam is uploading saves to the cloud, although achievements and game time are not updating. Played for anotger hour. Game is awesome. After intro sequence I haven't dropped below 30 once, although I still cannot change my resolution or uncap the frame rate. Will try again tonight after work when it is officialy unlocked. I don't mind the 30 fps, even if it drops a little. DR2 ran the same way on the 360, and the jank added charm, similar to Deadly Premonition, which I also loved. Hoping for more optimization in the future, but I'm just glad it's running.

Think you might have misunderstood me, there is no overlay which is why I'm waiting. Most games will work offline and continue to use steamworks but this one doesn't for whatever reason. Perhaps I've been unlucky though.
That's weird. I definitely have the overlay. I used it to take a screenshot.
Chance Hale

Very odd, going to give it another go in a minute then.
Edit: Works now, game just doesn't seem to like fraps. Will load the overlay sometimes, other times not. Switched to shadowplay.
I really don't want to be faffing around with VPNs tonight but what sort of CPU usage are we talking about here. Moreover what is it like comparing locked versus unlocked? Most of the folks on Steam's forums despite having decent GPUs are lacking a bit in the CPU side. You got to bear in mind that increasing frame rate isn't solely on the GPU and does require the CPU to finish it's jobs quicker unlike resolution which is highly GPU dependant.
If you want to check in-game MSI Afterburner version 3.x and up allows CPU monitoring now.

Finished pre-loading! Dat bandwidth cap. Can't wait to play this weekend!!

That seems pretty good considering the Xbox 1 runs at 720p.

It seems like I'm alone in thinking the game as a whole looks nice but the cutscenes themselves look incredible. Wonder if there's some way to adjust the depth of field to match them? They are in-game

could everyone talking about framerates also post what resolution they're running the game at (externally and if different, internally). that'd be super useful
Yeah I've read that it doesn't look great in 720p but tbh I'd take the hit for smoother controls (i say that now, but let's see when I actually go to play it!). Still, maybe we'll get a few patches quicksmart

Anyone unlocking achievements? Just beat a psycho and didn't unlock anything despite the overlay working.

Alright, finally jumped the gun with a VPN because the game did not unlock at midnight.
3770K@4,4
GTX680 OC
16gigs ram
I tried 1440p maxed out, but the game dropped to the 20's in the first zombie area. Running 1080p now and despite the cutscenes there are no more frame drops. V-Ram use is also quite high, I was almost reaching 2GB at 1440p.
Still, cutscenes dropping frames below 30fps... Not really acceptable. Also the game looks weird, the art direction is all over the place. At least no crashes for me and load times from SSD are fine.
Not sure if I should wait for driver updates and/or day one patch.
For the people with performance problems, disabling V-Sync seemed to make a bigger difference than usual. (But of course tears like a mofo)

Anyone have audio issues in this game? Every time someone speaks it sounds terrible to me and the music sounds really soft. The only other problem I had was the game crashes every time I quit the game.

Ok... finally did a little more testing.
3570k@4.2
GTX 780
8gb ram
Vsync off in game. Vsync on in nvidia control panel.
Unlocked frame rate
Playing at 1080p/60 with maxed settings
I'm not really having severe frame drops. It's dropped down to 50ish every once in awhile during cutscenes. Nothing major. In game, I've pretty much been maintaining 60. I even made it outside where there are a lot more zombies on screen. However, that's where I encountered my first crash. I'm going to test with locked 30 and see if I still crash.

Yup, the audio mix is weird and it's very low.
Also the gamma levels appear to be fucked. Don't tell me they managed to port the black crush from the Xbone...

I have:
i7-4770k
8gb ram
GTX 780 3gb eva GC
with the default settings, it runs fine. there's screentearing during the cutscenes but it's not too bad. will try higher settings later.

I could have sworn Capcom said there wasn't going to be a time limit in this game. But it's there and it's pissing me off. I don't care how long it is, it is still shit.

Yes, survivors are permadeath unless there's some little-known way to get them back or something.
Also, not every yellow marker is a chapter-ender, otherwise there'd only be seven missions. From what I can remember, that particular graveyard mission definitely isn't a chapter-ender either.
i7 3770 @ 4.2Ghz
GTX 780 901/3000mhz
720p pretty much locked 60fps, cutscenes dip to 35ish fps at times but no judder.
1080p or 720p with game Quality 900p, 60gps most of the time.
1080p with 1080p game quality, fps all over the place from 30-60.
30fps lock frequently dips to 28fps with judder compared to unlocked being judder free.
The game also pushes GPU temps more than normal, mine is hitting 82c at times.
2.2-2.3GB VRAM usage.

And that won't get you banned right?
The time limit is the entire point of the series.

Achievements broken for everyone else?
I didn't get any. I also can't upload any of my screenshots to Steam. I can take them and view them on my computer, but I can't publish them.

I thought the point of the entire series was to kill zombies with a myriad of weapons? I will be happy the day someone mods unlimited time into the game

if the time limit wasn't the point, then it wouldn't have been a staple of the series from the start
I wish Capcom would've kept Nightmare Mode as standard and just made Sandbox Mode available from the start like with Off the Record

Is there a point when texture quality is limited to 1080p? Or does it actually go beyond?
Nope, entire point of the Dead Rising series was to race against the clock. There are sandbox modes that have no time limit, but that's after finishing the game.
