Oh I see, thanks guys. I'll keep playing then

ye it happens here and there during ingame cutscenes ive seen it 10 or so times already.

 

[timshundo]

Sorry, I just found the "save uncompressed screenshot" option in steam. I've never felt the need to take screenshots of a game before ahahahah.

Playing at the res at (mostly) 60fps is mindblowing considering im on an iMac ahahaha. I forgot a lot of this game too.

 

[blaidd]

That was quick

Nice work - I'll contribute to that it will get noticed.

 

[UnrealEck]

Seems that some effects in the game cause it to drop to a 30 FPS cap. When the effects are gone again, the framerate will climb back up to the 59 FPS cap.
An example is the first enemy you fight. It uses blue laser beam attacks. Those cause the framerate to drop to a 30 cap.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Is there a way to manually lock it at 30fps? I'd much rather do that then have it jump around all the time.

Sorry, you'll have to ask Nega Durante about that.

 

[Soulflarz]

Based Durante, that was fast!

 

[Marceles]

Wow, this is amazing besides the bloom parts. It's like playing Last Story on Dolphin at the moment, but I'd gladly play it like this over the stock way. Thanks Durante

That kinda sounds like vsync with double-buffering. Tried to force it off yet?

Set adaptive vsync to half refresh rate (if your refresh rate is 60hz).
or
Set a cap of 30 in Rivatuner (comes with MSI Afterburner.)

Yes, tried forcing it off.

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Thanks Durante, it looks great.

 

[Gattsu25]

So am I reading the other thread right?

There are no graphics options in the game AT ALL besides "fullscreen or not fullscreen?"

What the fuck at this shit? SE has got to be joking.

Is adaptive a setting I can find in my card's control panel (AMD)?

It's funnier that esc exits the entire game

Yes, tried forcing it off.

Using both half refresh rate and Afterburner usually gives the best results.

 

[copelandmaster]

OK there is some framerate bullshit happening at (what I believe is) 8k

This is not an error. Game visually smooths out as soon as battles end. The difference in each of these is basically 1 sub 5k poly enemy on screen. This one:

WHAT.

I HAVE A TITAN! I AM SUPERIOR!1!1!one

 

[TheTrain]

First of all, thank you Durante! As a tester I can say that on Ati it's pretty buggy atm as you can see here:

At least we have a starting point, and that's beautiful.

 

[UnrealEck]

The guy that made the thread saying we need 1920x1080 support has now taken advantage of how people have used that thread to say they want it too. He/she is now asking for tesselation support.

Tesselation support.
lol.

Is adaptive a setting I can find in my card's control panel (AMD)?

I'm sure it will be but I can't say yes or no because I don't have an AMD card.
I reccomend using MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner though because it'll come in handy for any game you want to cap.

 

[Tagyhag]

Are you looking for a spouse Durante?

This is awesome, thanks a million!

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Wake me up when SE patches this in. Than I'll double dip!

0_o how did I not know about this?

Durante is the mightiest Fal'Cie! Praise him!

I think I read in the FF13 thread that the game caps your fps to 30 during fights.

 

[cj_iwakura]

This is a godsend.

But why can't the big companies who release these games do this? Why do they release such a poorly optimized product? I can't wrap my head around this. It's baffling.

I'm more perplexed that people buy them and support the company when fans fix their releases for free. It's great and all, but companies don't deserve the funding.

 

[Nethaniah]

It does not cap it for me, it does however fluctuate pretty badly.

 

[Stereogatari]

Lazy developers hate him.

Durante has one hell of a portfolio, that's for sure.

 

[Xyber]

Some attacks with effects seems to drop the FPS down to 30 for some reason. But the fight itself is 60 otherwise.

 

[Gattsu25]

On the first button press?

Oh man, I'm 50% through my download but I feel like this port is going to be something special.

 

[Nethaniah]

In windowed mode it brings up a "you sure?" popup, fullscreen though, one press and you're out.

 

[Gbraga]

Can you force your GPU load to go up by running some other game while you run this?

Make sure you use a controller just incase

 

[Seanspeed]

Because the alternative is that we dont get these ports at all.

If nobody buys this out of protest, they aren't going to be like, "Hey, we should spend more time on this next time". They are simply going to not bother releasing these ports at all.

 

[UnrealEck]

Can you force your GPU load to go up by running some other game while you run this?

Yes but it won't change how much FFXIII is utilising.
Besides, I don't think that's the problem. There seems to be an issue with some of the effects or animations in game that are dropping the framerate down to a 30 cap.

 

[PBalfredo]

Durante, you got to find a way to start charging these Japanese companies for all the work you're doing for them.

 

[Unreal]

I tried up to 15K and works fine

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well I can't seem to get texture dumping to work on GeDoSaTo. I want to fix that dumb font and stuff.

 

[Braag]

Gonna give this a try once I get home. Kudos Durante

 

[Accession]

-snip-

Could you please post your setting .ini's?

 

[TheTux]

I can't get a decent framerate and according to MSI Afterburner this game doesn't even use 40% of my GPU. What the hell is this garbage? Square, publicly apologize and make a patch or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Seriously though, patch the game damn it!

 

[RionaaM]

Durante, I can't thank you enough. You don't have to do this, but you do anyway. You are truly the savior of bad ports.

Also, congrats on the new tag!

 

[Eyothrie]

I decided to lock the framerate to 30 since the drops from 60 were too distracting. Game is gorgeous downsampled from 4K to 1080p.

Thanks, Durante!

 

[Xyber]

+1

I can't get it to work with most stuff. So far only 3200x1800 and below works for me, higher than that and it crashes.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Anyone have any luck with the texture dumps? I work all of the weekend starting tomorrow so I'd like to get the font out of the way at least.

 

[Corpekata]

Working great. Will probably wait for the DoF fix to play more but really impressed so far.

What did you use to cap it?

 

[Inuhanyou]

I feel bad for you PC guys. SE knew it was going to be a shit port, and they weren't going to take the time or effort to fix it up before release, no wonder it was so cheap, directly proportional to the amount of time spent on porting the 360 code and putting some higher quality cutscenes in place of the 360's vid files..

Glad that Durante is on the case as usual.

 

[AcceptableGhost]

GeDoSaTo crashes any game I try to use with it I guess. I tried it for both FF13 and then DMC4 and the games crash if GeDoSaTo is running at all.

 

[Unreal]

Just change the resolution from the FFXIII .ini

renderResolution 15360x8640@60

 

[Spectrasonic]

Only problems I see with this release are the broken minimap and settings menu here:

Otherwise, looks awesome. Thanks for such a fast fix!

Someone seems to have figured it out.
