Anyone have this on the X1? Is it 1080p? How's the frame rate?

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Wish I could play this, my gamestop took 7 preorders and got 3 games, all sold last night I guess at midnight. So I have to wait for their F'Up!! I hate Gamestop, just easier to go to for me.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Anyone have this on the X1? Is it 1080p? How's the frame rate?

900p. Dunno about the framerate, PS4 has drops, so I guess X1 has them as well.

 

[Corpekata]

Cleric starter spell seems really overpowered. Long taunt clone spell that has high health and duration, and even worked on the first boss.

 

[yatesl]

I think this game is quite CPU heavy, as even on lowest my 4670k/770 2GB isn't a stable 60.

 

[CyberPunked]

Game looks as good as most games do in bullshots. Especially in 4K:

Get about 50fps average at highest settings in 4K. Wish I could turn the chromatic aberration off though.

Are you running SLI or something?

I can only get like 30-40FPS (Sometimes goes higher indoors) on my 970 at Very High 1440p.

Quite the looker. I wonder if the DF comparison will forget to look at the Fledge engine documentation and declare the game to be similar on all platform minus IQ.

 

[Rhaknar]

quoting myself from the steam thread:

and Lords of the Fallen crashed on the first boss again. Welp, guess its time to wait for a patch I guess :/

performance wise im getting pretty much 55-60 constant now in fullscreen instead of borderless, but the crashes kill it

 

[yatesl]

I quit the game, now it won't even load the intro splash screens without crashing.

 

[PushingButtons]

The second boss is totally wrecking me. I was able to get him down to half health, but I'm usually out of potions by then. And I'm only doing a miniscule amount of damage.

 

[Rhaknar]

how do you use potions btw?

 

[Mogwai]

Dang it. My 770 is near the sub-60 fps implosion.

Probably going to get the game on PS4 anyway.

 

[CyberPunked]

Are you running SLI or something?

I can only get like 30-40FPS (Sometimes goes higher indoors) on my 970 at Very High 1440p.

SLI 980s.

The game seems to have memory leak issues. It used all 16Gb of my RAM once.

 

[cripterion]

how do you use potions btw?

If you're using a 360 or Xbox One gamepad I think you have to hold X.

Sometimes the game crashes when launching from Steam too, it seemed to run fine ingame but damn I would like to know why it's crashing left & right like that.

Spoiler

I had to grind few levels, fix my gear (from heavy to medium) and learn some weapon combos to get the adds down fast. Then I just danced around the boss and hit him with a combo when he does those leanings. I didn't use shield stance and had an epic Great Battleaxe.

Can you hide the HUD?
Or does it fade out?
Or did you crop those?

I must know this....

 

[Parsnip]

So is the post processing all or nothing kind of deal? I would love love love to be able to turn off chromatic aberration, but leave the rest on.

Any ini files to mess with?

[Alcoholikaust]

Has Amazon US shipped out any CEs yet? Kind of surprised that I don't even have an estimated delivery date. I preordered it quite some time ago...

the bust edition?

haha I saw it in GameStop. amazing

editS4 copy and Sunset Overdrive Day One round out another killer day for releases

 

[Rhaknar]

if anyone figures out if its a setting that is causing the crashes (for now) ill give you a cookie :/

If you're using a 360 or Xbox One gamepad I think you have to hold X.

Sometimes the game crashes when launching from Steam too, it seemed to run fine ingame but damn I would like to know why it's crashing left & right like that.

thank you, did I miss a tutorial or they never say how to use them?

 

[Sanctuary]

Cleric starter spell seems really overpowered. Long taunt clone spell that has high health and duration, and even worked on the first boss.

Don't all three spell schools have the same clone, with the main differences being you either get health, mana or energy regen?

 

[Zomba13]

Hell yes. Altered the gamepad controls to be pretty much exactly like Dark Souls. Everything is good now.

Oh you can do that? I was wondering because things are every so slightly off and it was kinda throwing me off a bit.

Only played to the second check point so far but liking it. I can definitely see where Vaatividya is coming from about it being "Clunky Souls" but that not being a bad thing. Playing as a heavy armour using guy kinda like I always do on my first run in a souls game.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Absolutely not. I'm only a short way into the PS4 version, and the tearing (plus potentially other things) are giving me a headache.

Yikes... that's bad.

I played the PS4 version unpatched while the patch was downloading. The tearing was very noticeable. After installing the patch, the tearing seems to be pretty much gone. The only problem left is the framerate; It's pretty solid when you are in smaller indoors environments, but it often drops when you enter large open spaces or when a lot of particle effects / lighting effects are in play. Another thing that reminds me of the Souls games on console

That's a relief. If the patch fixes the tearing, it should be fine. I don't mind the Souls-like framerate, I'm used to it.

Welp, my card isn't even on that list. Oh well, PS4 it is. But I think I'll wait for a bit until they iron out all the glitches. Tearing is bad enough, but constant crashing? Does this happen on PS4 too?

Hell yes. Altered the gamepad controls to be pretty much exactly like Dark Souls. Everything is good now.

Can you do that on PS4? I hope so. Or if not I hope they binded the controls to be similar.

 

[VinFTW]

So whats the verdict on first play-through length?

 

[Kezen]

Then yeah, his PC will probably run it better. My laptop's graphic card is slightly better than a 650 and has 2GB of vram so I don't think I can run it good.

I would definitely advise against it in your case, any console will achieve better results. But even if you have a beast of a PC there is nothing wrong with choosing to play on consoles.
That's personnal.

 

[dark10x]

Looks like there was a patch waiting and, after downloading, performance is now very stable. Much better.

It's just crashing now while it wasn't before. :\

Quite the looker. I wonder if the DF comparison will forget to look at the Fledge engine documentation and declare the game to be similar on all platform minus IQ.

Which documentation are you referring to exactly? Most of the visual features on PC seem present on console from what's out there.

The developers themselves even noted that all of the APEX physics, GPU particles, and such have been implemented in all three versions. There is no indication anywhere that the console versions are missing PC exclusive features. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the PC version offers additional visual features.

 

[creyas]

Dying to play, but Steam DL is stuck at 94% / 8.6/9.2GB. "Ready to play in.." starts at 1 second and just keeps climbing. Uggghgh, anyone else, ideas?

edit: The actual bar in the "Play game" screen might actually be progressing though

edit2: It was, started downloading near the end

 

[cripterion]

Well fuck this game. Non stop crashing can even get past the 3rd mob without it fucking up my monitors (on a dual screen setup), turns to black, tries to refresh and crash.

I mean seriously, did they even QA this?

if anyone figures out if its a setting that is causing the crashes (for now) ill give you a cookie :/



thank you, did I miss a tutorial or they never say how to use them?

No I just got the tutorial for the first mob and saw how to use pots scrolling through the hints in the loading screen. You can also bring up the key mapping if you go into settings. Y for example will change your stance from 2H to 1H and shield if you're on that setup. I was really looking forward to dive into this but seriously I've had the game crash 6 times and I haven't even played 15mn...

 

[PushingButtons]

Spoiler

I had to grind few levels, fix my gear (from heavy to medium) and learn some weapon combos to get the adds down fast. Then I just danced around the boss and hit him with a combo when he does those leanings. I didn't use shield stance and had an epic Great Battleaxe.

Thanks, I realized I should probably grind a tiny bit just to get a couple levels. And my timing is way off on the combos, I need to get that down.

 

[Corpekata]

Don't all three spell schools have the same clone, with the main differences being you either get health, mana or energy regen?

Dunno. If so that seems really OP as a starter spell in general. Maybe more enemies are immune later or something.

 

[cripterion]

Funny thing is I realized I have the 344.48 Nvidia game ready driver which specifically mentions best gaming experience for Lords of the Fallen. Non stop crashes so far.

Going to disable GPU tweak to see if it's causing the crashes.

 

[Parsnip]

// postprocessing quality (Off, Low, Medium, High, VeryHigh)

Ack. I hate it when devs lump all post processing under the same setting.

 

[burgerdog]

Game crashed as soon as I launched it. 970 Here. Worked on second try.

 

[Kezen]

Careful PC folks, memory leaks ahead.
I'm getting "resource exhaustion detector" error in the event logger, the game crashed.

I've not downloaded the day one patch though. The game will update itself when it's available I guess.

 

[Sothpaw]

Got a solid 8 from Gamespot, higher than I expected but nice to see.

 

[Mejilan]

CE release date is next week, 11/4

Holy shit, really?
Damn.

Thanks for the update. Had no idea.

 

[dark10x]

Quite the looker. I wonder if the DF comparison will forget to look at the Fledge engine documentation and declare the game to be similar on all platform minus IQ.

Seriously, I'm curious to know what you're read that leads you to believe there is a big difference. I've just flipped through a bunch of documents on the engine along with various interviews and slide-shows they've put together. I'm not seeing any PC specific features here.

 

[Rhaknar]

I havent had any patch on steam, unless it stealth downloaded to the preload. I unpacked the preload when it unlocked and havent had a patch since

 

[cripterion]

Ok seems it was GPU tweak who was messing with the game. Arrived to the first boss (I guess?) and got my ass handed.
The warrior does feel clunky, dunno if it's desired but damn, didn't expect this type of gameplay.

Off to restart the game.

 

[dark10x]

I havent had any patch on steam, unless it stealth downloaded to the preload. I unpacked the preload when it unlocked and havent had a patch since

I had the same issue initially but, after restarting Steam, a 45mb patch appeared and downloaded. Afterwards the performance jumped from ~55 fps to a mostly solid 60.

 

[Sanctuary]

Wow, I hope the rest of the music in game can match the title theme. Didn't expect it to sound like that at all, despite the medieval setting.

 

[nbthedude]

Seems like most of the crashes are NVidia based this time. Sucks for me but I'm happy for my buddy on a 7970. He's not as tech inclined nor PC centric so honestly aid rather have to deal with my own work arounds on an NVidia than try to deal with his. Ha.

 

[Phenomena]

WTF is going on with the hitbox on the second boss? Most of my hits are nowhere near his shield but they do no damage.

 

[krishian]

Just started playing as the Rogue, and man those parry timings feel very generous.

Volumetric lighting of LOTF

The consoles use a simplified GPU physics scheme (not the Apex turbulence fields, the volumetric fog, etc.) on top of lower res volumetric effects.

Also, the Nvidia Gameworks vid.

 

[JumpJeff84]

Wow, this game runs like total ass on my PC. It's a few years old, but most games can run pretty well.

Even when I drop all effects to low and lower the resolution so that the game looks like shit, it's still garbage in terms of framerate. Not happy- wish I'd bought on PS4

 

[Phinor]

I had the same issue initially but, after restarting Steam, a 45mb patch appeared and downloaded. Afterwards the performance jumped from ~55 fps to a mostly solid 60.

Just tried this and got a 45MB patch as well. Steam wasn't downloading it before restarting.

It does not matter how old your PC is, it all depends on what specs you have. Some 4 years old PCs can run new games well enough.
If your PC was mid-range back in 2010 it's obvious it does not perform well in the most recent releases.
