For the love of God, does anyone know how to force windows store to use my whole bandwidth? It only uses 3mbit of my 50 mbit connection -_-

You might be able to backup the directory that it sits in.
You'll find it in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps (or where you set Windows Apps to install.)

Files are accessible only from this directory -> C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, even if you set the apps download location to different drive. Files take space on drive you set but you can access them only from system drive, i think. Probably some kind of junction link or whatever its called
I hope for a new wave of backlash since codes are out for those who preordered on console. Maybe that will force Remedy/MS to take action.
Some communication and timelines for patches would be appreciated.
I am the only one who sees photoshop potential below?
Thats more UWP related but still. I already made a crappy attempt but its ended up a bit extreme.

I am not sure how this is possible, but on Ultra settings this game looks worse than it does on the Xbone.

Well, the main differences from the console version are only resolution, volumetric lights and shadows quality. If you'll play it at 1080p on a monitor, then you'll notice how much blurry it looks, since the res is exaclty the same as the Xbone version. But at 2k it looks much better already. For now this is still a VG conceived for TV+console.

According to Digital Foundry, it should look better than the Xbox, just not by much. It might be that you're used to better IQ on the PC, or the worse motion caused by the crappy framepacing.
Anyway, it looks like this game is going to take another 24 hours to download. I wish there was a way to download this without booting into Windows--I have work to get done, and all of the programs I use are on my Mac partition. :/
They should play between chapters via streaming. Otherwise you can install them.
Yeah, I installed them on the xbox app, I did it after I had played Act 1 though, so maybe I missed some of it?

Huh. So no 3440x1440 support eh?

oof, completely unplayable when I turn on full screen mode and have a g-Sync monitor. drops to 1 fps with massive lag everywhere, runs fine when I turn off full screen and maximize. This is with a 970, everything set to medium or high (textures).
Still those little border windows which is ugly as sin, so I guess I am not playing until the windows update that fixes UWP and gSync. Hopefully by then Remedy will have a PC patch.
Nice looking game though, the 2 minutes of intro video I saw looked cool.

Yep both this and DS3 dont have ultra wide support. Shitty month for 21:9 owners. At least with Dark Souls we can hope someone mods a fix for it
and gets us VAC banned while we're at it

Fired up the game, replayed a part of act 1... I think I'll finish it out on the Bone after all.
The image quality issues that come from the reconstruction technique honestly don't bother me very much, but the performance is just nooot great (i5 3570k / 970). If I have the game set to medium it's pretty consistent, but as soon as I start moving any settings above medium, the game just starts to feel bad.
It's crazy that this wound up being a showcase on the Bone and such a letdown on W10. I'm perfectly fine finishing it on the Xbox (or just keeping PC at medium and playing whichever platform is more convenient at the moment), though, and I'm enjoying the hell out of the game. I just wish the PC version had come together as well.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh of course there wouldn't be.
Can we even run the game windowed? I don't know if UWP restricts that or not.

Just played through the last act on pc, after playing the rest of the games on X1. I played the game with max settings at 1080p, and it looked slightly better than on x1 (primarily lighting/reflection related).
Game ran without any issues for me. Granted I was running it at 1080p with a good rig. PC specs are: i7 6700k, 980ti, 16GB DDR4-2133, SSD.

Just about an hour left on my Twitter giveaway of the PC version.

How do you giveaway W10 store games? I thought you couldn't redeem codes.
He probably preordered xbox version and got the pc code.
UWP=always windowed. Move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen and you will see the window bar.

While it's still embarrassing that it barely runs perceptually better on my PC than it does on Xbox One... it does run perceptually better on my PC than it does on Xbox One (IE, even though the frame pacing is off, it feels smoother than 30 fps). I'm happy enough with it, since it was free and I was able to play the game while my Xbox One and TV were tied up.
I really hope they can sort this out though and get it into a better state. The game really deserves a better presentation.

Wow. I'm used to some hyperbole when it comes to discussing PC performance on here, but this is bad. Really bad.
6700k/16GBDDR4/980ti(OC)
First the weirdness. Ultra pre-set performs worse for me, than manually adjusting every setting to 'Max' (Ultra actually knocks down a few settings) Either way, I'd say I'm getting maximum frame rates in the 40s. Turning on the 30fps lock is horrible - literally nausea inducing on a big display.
Things didn't start off well, as even the first cut-scene was chopping all over the place. The result of the horrible frame rates means controlling your character feels like you are trying to turn a tanker on the ocean. Fluid it is not. This is why some people deem this game as 'unplayable'.
I am trying to figure out the best way to proceed - knocking settings down doesn't seem to guarantee improved performance, so I might just ride it out with everything maxed. The worrying part, is performance is horrible and I haven't even encountered any combat yet *gulp*
One odd thing I have noticed, is my GPU isn't being worked beyond 90% of it's capabilities, so maybe there is another bottleneck in there? Either way, I would be pissed if I had buckled and paid £50 for this.
Believe the hype - this port is just bad.

From the game profile in NVCP, disable GSync and set the preferred refresh rate at the highest available. This will help if you own a 120/144Hz monitor. If you want to improve the IQ a little bit, force AF to 16x as well. I have a system like yours and I can play at 2k with all settings maxed out, BUT I have slowdowns from time to time. In certain situations I had to lower the volumetric lights quality.
I could maybe forgive the steep hardware requirements, if the game looked really stunning as a result of this, like Division, or better (while in fact Division both runs AND looks better, go figure). Instead, we get this:

How many performance is actually being saved by this atrocious popup?
They did not even bother to improve this for PC version, it's Xbox One level.
And they also claim it's unfixable, because it's property of the engine.
This is most probably because of Umbra middleware, and Witcher 3 mods proved that LOD and popup can be fixed, despite the developer claiming otherwise.

So I've just played through Act 1 (bought a code off a GAF member for 25, NO WAY was I paying the equivalent of $80 for this!) and it's... not terrible?
i7 875k @ 3.5Ghz
GTX 980
16Gb DDR3 1600Mhz
Samsung 850 EVO 500Gb SSD
The very beginning of the game seemed to run well (granted, no FPS counter here but it "felt" smooth enough I guess) at 1080p with everything except volumetric lighting on High (I also activated 16x anisotropic and triple buffering in the Nvidia CP, even though I'm not sure how much good that does), but once I got to
I started noticing stuttering, especially during the combat encounters, which really threw off my aim. Also got some stutter when transitioning between areas. I also noticed objects flickering, once again especially in the opening area.
This is all very unscientific, of course, and I've probably unconsciously trained myself not to notice framerate variation since I'm mostly a single-player kind of guy who doesn't mind a performance tradeoff if I have pretty graphics to look at.
Anyway, I enjoyed what I've seen so far, though it definitely could use some optimization and patching.

I didn't realise NVCP had any effect on UWPs? Thanks I'll have a tinker.

Why would you assume that's intentional or saves on resources?
sertopico

Yeah somewhere I read that refresh rate is stuck at 60Hz on UWA but I can tell you that by running the game at the highest framerate (for me 144Hz) I get far less stuttering and slowdowns. Installing it on a SSD is also an imperative.

So I would recommend against tampering with the NVIDIA shader compiles in the game's directory to disable film-grain and SSAA. I'm not sure if Windows runs routine checks on the files down to the tee, but it starts soft-crashing after 30 minutes of play, without fail. I've had to download it four times now.
Quantum Break won't get better visually according to this.

Edit: got beaten to it by the previous post.
Good to know they're aware of the frame pacing problem and that there should be a fix

With your spec (same as mine except one 980ti) it should kill that game, the game is a shit show, poorly coded crap.
Why would I not? The only reason that we have LOD transitions and popup is to save performance. What you saw in that clip is not "unintentional", it's a deliberate decision of the devs to save performance.

So... Are they going to allow people to render at their native resolution or not in order to clean up the IQ somewhat?
Good news that they are fixing the framepacing but allowing people to control the resolution of the game would be another step in the right direction.
And so much for DX12 being a gamechanger for multi-GPU setups.

I can accept that they keep their rendering method. Just fix all the performance related problems.
Guess I will play this game in May when G-Sync (hopefully) will work.
It reads to me that they won't. I am not a graphics programmer so I can only guess that it will require a fundamental change in their engine to make that happen.

So to get a 1080p quality, we should set the resolution to 2880x1620 ?
