Throw me at an Adamantoise if old.

thuway · Nov 11, 2014

Just when they lose me, they pull me back in ;'(.

StrikeFirst117 · Nov 11, 2014

Wait what they've actually fixed the issues?

bigkrev · Nov 11, 2014

Well, at least they are fixing the game up to an acceptable standard!

The Llama · Nov 11, 2014

Eggcellent. Might have to pick this up at some point. On the console version I got (not really a spoiler but better safe than sorry) to

the very last boss before the open world part. Couldn't beat him so I just gave up.

Martylepiaf · Nov 11, 2014

I guess there will be no 1920*1200...

Durante · Nov 11, 2014

I already have that, I'd appreciate if they would rather work on their terrible frame pacing code

But it's a great step in the right direction, and I can't imagine them releasing the subsequent ports without these options now. Learning!

SerTapTap · Nov 11, 2014

Well at least they're fixing some of their mistakes.

I know I thou h t this was a joke thread at first.

Whogie · Nov 11, 2014

Alright, cool (though I've already almost beaten it with GeDoSaTo). Gives me hope for the next games.

Aeana · Nov 11, 2014

If this doesn't address the framerate then I don't think it'll give us anything we don't have thanks to Durante.

glaurung · Nov 11, 2014

I hope they credit Durante.

Since I have this creeping feeling some of those settings and resolutions are down to his efforts.

Holykael1 · Nov 11, 2014

Is this real life? Square is giving a shit?
Hope they fix the framerate problems some people have been having.

Yep, the game *looks* fantastic, but the judder is really irritating.

Adaren · Nov 11, 2014

Great news! Probably means there will be a higher bar set for the sequels.

Hopefully the updates keep coming.

Durante's a great guy and all, but let's be reasonable here.

DodgyGeezerFella · Nov 11, 2014

Tempted by this port (haven't played a FF game since X, or any JRPG for that matter .....) ..... but how are the M&KB controls ? Is the mouse even used ? Correct button prompts ?

UnrealEck · Nov 11, 2014

*at 30 FPS in battles.

legacyzero · Nov 11, 2014

I fully expected S-E to abandon this shit after throwing into Steam.

I.... I dont know what to think..

Durante · Nov 11, 2014

Perhaps the "graphics options" includes "disable frame pacing". Which would probably fix many of the issues.

One can hope.

spons · Nov 11, 2014

Color me surprised. Either they're upgrading the engine or they were so lazy in adding options in the first place it could've worked at launch given some extra testing.

Acquiescence · Nov 11, 2014

Lightning in 1080p is still Lightning.

bananafactory · Nov 11, 2014

Wait, the game didn't ship with resolution options? Since when does a PC game not have that??

Welcome to the magical world of Japanese ports to PC.

Seems that way, from the 13-2 Steam description:

Now Enhanced for Windows PC
Including a range of the downloadable content from the original console, plus the choice for either English or Japanese voiceovers, 60 frames-per-second graphics and customizeable rendering resolution (720p, 1080p, and more).

plutoknight · Nov 11, 2014

Now I'm more hyped for 13-2. Dammit.

martino · Nov 11, 2014

RK9039 · Nov 11, 2014

Good, I still haven't finished it. Hopefully they sort the performance out as well.

I'll continue with Valkyria until this gets updated.

Dead Prince · Nov 11, 2014

Based Wada.

Deleted member 20920 · Nov 11, 2014

I wonder if they'll switch the videos to the PS3 quality ones. I heard that people tried replacing them. Has that been successful?

Levyne · Nov 11, 2014

As has been stated, people already playing at 1080p and up, but hopefully will adjust whatever wonkyness is preventing a steady framerate.

Anteater · Nov 11, 2014

thanks

but pls fix the framerate

maybe that will come in the january update

baby step.

Skilletor · Nov 11, 2014

Thank god.

Please fix the framerate.

I can't get the game to run with Durante's fix. :/ It makes the game crash randomly.

Syphon Filter · Nov 11, 2014

Ther learnin' for once. Is the game 60 fps?

Mohasus · Nov 11, 2014

I'll buy XIII-2 as soon as I hear that the framerate has been fixed too. And I don't even like it that much (I love XIII and LR though).

Any chance that's in there too just not overtly mentioned?

Tecl0n · Nov 11, 2014

They are actually learning from their shortcomings? it's almost as if they are alive.

Durante · Nov 11, 2014

Iscariot said:

Well, there's always a chance

Gbraga · Nov 11, 2014

That's awesome! But I hope they're also fixing the framerate. Thanks to Durante, we didn't have to endure 720p for too long.

The Cowboy · Nov 11, 2014

Until i read "major performance fixes" i won't be downloading it again, its nice they're adding in res support and options, but for me the biggest issue is how little my system is used compared to the frame rate i get.

So the Goddess in 1080p then?

BasilZero · Nov 11, 2014

Thats great news but I hope they fix the framerate too.

Ingueferroque · Nov 11, 2014

I don't understand how they thought they could get away with it in the first place. Just a lack of respect to their consumers with that sort of quality control.

what is the issue with it?

Durante · Nov 11, 2014

Syphon Filter said:

It drops pretty randomly, and when it does it's sometimes not just a short drop but causes a prolonged stuttering. I suspect some iffy frame pacing is at play.

Lanrutcon · Nov 11, 2014

Oh fuck. YES!

Khal_B · Nov 11, 2014

Hmm, might actually try the game out now. I tried Durante's fix, but I kept getting crashes in full screen mode. Hopefully the 'custom' resolutions go up to 1440p and above.

Giever · Nov 11, 2014

I'm not going to applaud them for finally doing something they should have done in the first place.

But it is nice.
