Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Win 10 |OT| Down But Not Out
- Thread starter Busta SMurk
- Start date
We really need a 21:9 checkbox in future PC OT.
Anyone confirm yet?
Whelp...fuck PC gaming.
I kinda have a feeling that there is some not-so-bad AF - 4x to 16x, hard to spot in the beginning of campaign really - applied if you bump the texture quality manually to "Highest". Note that if you choose High preset then you get High texture quality. Highest option isn't included in the top quality preset it seems.
Anyway, a screenshot on High preset + Highest textures:
It's a really good looking game with quality AF. Although in this shot it does not seem like 16xAF.
Have you tried forcing it and have you noticed improvements ?

That is... quite odd. That is not something I would necessarily miss (as I always click through all options to see if Ultra actually pushes everything up), but I imagine a lot of people could have lower AF as a result.

the remake looks amazing in parts. It's a shame that it got shat on for keeping too close to the original because good lord it can look stunning at times

You can only buy from the region you are in now sadly.
Latest Nvidia drivers and W10 1511. Actually I just updated to 1511 and it runs a little better but the drops and stuttering are still there.
Not true. They've just put more checks in for credit cards/paypal. Might have put a IP address check like the web xbox store too I guess.
This is w/ 'highest' textures and not 'high', right?
Purchase between EU>NA and NA>EU works still.
Not that you save anything on it, but hey.
Thanks for the comparison. It only makes sense that global settings are applied at the driver level (to everything), and do not require a traditional win32/64 executable to take effect.

This shot in particular don't show any difference between app controlled AF and AF16x set in the driver.
The game uses FXAA which kinda blurs all textures a bit and this may be a reason why some people think that there is no AF while in practice it's definitely there on Highest texture quality at least (haven't tried the lower ones).
Here's an example, app controlled left, driver forced 16x right:
There is a difference but from it I'd say that the game is using at least 4x AF by itself.
More screenshots from the first level:

Do we know how much vram highest textures is using?
With everything maxed at 1080p on my 970 it feels pretty close to 60 fps, but I can feel the frame pacing issues for sure.
I feel like the game also looks weirdly stretched or something. Hard to explain.

Does checking afterburner not work? I don't mean the OSD, but after closing or lowering the game does it display statistics when you open the program?

Thanks a lot. Indeed the difference in your shot is subtle. So the game must be using 16xaf sometimes, perhaps depending on textures.
Anyway I'll have it set at 16x in the driver and call it a day.

Has there been any progress with the NAT/port situation? Anyone hear what ports we need to have open for optimal connections?

Been stuck of the Gear initial screen for 10 minutes, nothing happens.

It seems that the game have a preset number of resolutions available as I can actually select 3840x2160 and 3840x2400 above my native 2560x1600 - and this results in supersampling happening.
The game isn't smooth at all and if I turn the framerate lock on I'm getting a really bad lag on the controls in addition to the same stuttering.
It is still fully playable though in my native 2560x1600 on my 980Ti. Just far from being smooth.
VRAM usage according to AB has peaked at 5.3GB for me during the first level of the game on Highest textures.

This happened to me too. All I did was update my NVIDIA drivers, and restart. It worked after that.

If you are in Germany and want to buy this, go to the regional settings in Windows and change your location to Austria and create an Austrian address for your profile, or you won't be able to do so.

Huh the gsync issues with cutscenes is more pronounced than I had originally thought. I guess the game considers the intro videos and the loading screens to be similar to the cutscenes in this game because I literally have to hold ALT+TAB just to get the game to load. Smooth regardless but holy crap they need to fix that shit asap. I want to support your PC venture MS, but shit like this makes it really hard.

Right after purchasing I read "No Ultra Wide Support" in one of the reviews. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

The game data is in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DeltaPC_1.5.0.0_x64__{blablabla}\"
There's an EXE there btw, WarGameUE.exe
The game something is in "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.DeltaPC_{blablabla}\"

How? Is this a (really) new feature? I've been having to use the global profile for my Windows Store version of Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Technically there might be an exe, but it works differently. Try launching it and watch what happens.

Already have the latest drivers. Tried everything, still waiting for the game to launch.
Have you tried alt-tabbing out?
dr_rus
Member
Yeah...
...But still...
...This is actually the EXE which is running in practice so technically a driver may be able to use its profiling system via detecting this process as active.
W10 doesn't let me go into WindowsApps...says I don't have permission and I need to goto the Security tab...wtf. I'm the only user/admin on my PC.

It's gsync. It takes less than a minute to launch the game without gsync. With gsync though, I waited 10 minutes and I still wasn't in the game.

Is there Sli Support?
Yeah...

For info: a quick play with Nvidia suggests using the WindowsApps\ .exe file doesn't work.

No gamepad support?

I'm downloading it now. It should be done in about 2 hours or so.
Yes, it supports gamepads.

Cutscenes are pre rendered that's why they're 30fps. They look low res on my 1440p monitor. Also the game wont launch with gsync. Without it, framerate feel very choppy. Waiting for them to properly fix the gsync issues.

Phew, good stuff. Still holding off for a bit though. The problems I've been hearing from people scare me.
