Anyone know if there are official Mad Max forums to report bugs etc? I can't seem to find anything anywhere, and I don't know how frequent (if at all) the devs use the Steam forums.
game isnt letting me select 60hz for some reason only 50hz or 59hz every other game is fine and nvidia driver is too. so something must be bugged with game ?
Ah, I only noticed just now that my monitor is set on 85hz, but that's also the maximum, I can't select 144hz. I guess I need to get a higher quality DP-cable?
I have limited room on my SSD so I don't usually put games on my SSD by default but in this case it made a pretty big difference. I was able to put everything to very high and I seem to be doing just fine at 1440p/60 FPS except when an autosave kicks in I drop to around 40 which causes a pretty noticeable stutter.
Anyone else having this issue and figure out a way around it?
1440p
R9 290
i5 3570k 4.1 OC
16 GB RAM
Windows 10
Yeah I get a drop to about 30fps for about 2 seconds sometimes when it autosaves, it's weird, not a deal breaker as the rest of the game is a solid 60fps but would be nice to see a patch to fix it.
I heard playing in borderless windowed mode fixes it but haven't had a chance to test that yet
Will have to give it a try tonight.

Apparently it's some kind of bug, tried different things and nothing would fix it. Someone on the forums found a temporary fix. Just run the game on borderless and the whole issue is gone. Good enough for now until they patch it or something.
Anyway, so far in the intro gameplay,
GTX 670
i5 3570k
8gb RAM
Maxed out pretty much above 60fps the whole time. Aside from my initial issue, they did a great job on the PC version.
FYI, the app still has the section_type = ownersonly flag attached to it, so it won't appear on your Steam Community activity feed/profile just yet.
That's just due to this. It's nothing to worry about.
I'm getting the problem with the blown out colors. Any fix yet?
Possible to get 60fps with a 2500k, 7950? both not oc'd.
Use full screen instead of Borderless
Well, a 7950 manages 50fps/63fps (minimum/average) when paired with an overclocked 5960X:

I don't understand how consoles are being beaten by a 750ti.These framerates, god damn.

The game seems to be fairly CPU heavy, my i5 2500k at 4.5GHz averaged between 50-60% utilization on all four cores from the times I looked at it which is fairly frequent since I have it displaying on my keyboard.I've had a strange performance issue. Here are my specs:
G3258 @ 4.4GHz
R9 280
8GB
Win7
When I initially installed it on my hard-drive it ran smoothly on VHQ (felt like a fairly constant 60fps), but with intermittent drops to what felt like around 5fps. I figured this was probably the hard-drive failing to keep up with the world streaming, so I transferred it over to my SSD and that seemed to fix the issue, and I played an hour or so last night without issue.
Jump forward to today, though, and the game is pretty much constantly chugging. The game had updated, but I can't imagine the update lowering performance to this degree. I checked how my GPU and CPU are handling things, and the GPU was never exceeding 70% usage, although the CPU was at 100% pretty much constantly. I would understand if my CPU had started to become a bottleneck, but it hasn't been with any game before this, and it doesn't explain why the game was running perfectly smoothly yesterday, or why it's jumping from 60fps to 5fps, but nowhere in between.
I've checked drivers, and everything's up to date. Any suggestions?

You have the latest drivers? I would try and make a custom resolution at 2560 x 1440 and see if you can set the refresh rate to 144hz and attempt to use that setting and see if you have any success with it.

There aren't any drivers for Windows 10 yet, maybe that's the problem. I'll try out the custom resolution and see if that works.
That's fair enough, but if you're getting say 60fps with 50%-60% CPU utilisation on a 2500K at 4.5GHz, then I should be expecting at least 50fps on my system at 100% CPU utilisation. Instead I'm getting maybe 5-10fps (and I was getting 60fps or close to it on the same system the other day).
I'll do a couple more tests when I get home from work. What do people recommend these days to log frame times?
Downsampling from 1440p is going to be the best solution to AA I would assume?
I tried the in-game AA but wasn't too keen so switched it off and applied FXAA in the nVidia control panel. That seemed better (although it may have been a placebo) but it appears a little blurry in places.
I just wanted to play the game yesterday without spending the time fiddling.
You guys using the latest Nvidia drivers 355.82 ?
Anyone else getting pretty bad audio skipping/stuttering?
You can hear it just sitting on the main menu w/ music off. The ambient wind loop is skipping all over.
More noticeable w/ headphones.
Someone mentioned it on the Steam forums too.
I'm getting it too. It's rather distracting.

So it turns out my CPU has locked itself at 800MHz for some reason, which solves my performance mystery. Why it's doing this is a different question entirely, although I suppose that's a matter for another thread.
I'm actually running Windows 10 with driver release 355.82 and the NVIDIA control panel seems to ID and set up my XB270HU fine.
Oh I meant the driver for the monitor, but I guess that doesn't matter much. I've read on some other forums and almost everywhere the problem was the DP-cable (it not being 1.2 in most cases). I've ordered another cable and see if that helps.
