Support NeoGAF

[Baloonatic]

Seems alright at the moment at 4k on my 1080 with everything maxed. Not a solid 60 though so I might turn the res down.

I had to restart my PC before it didn't have awful image quality weirdly enough. Setting seem picky about sticking even with a game restart.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

What's the pop in like?

hopefully should know soon once these streamers get their ships up and running

 

[Glass Shark]

Watching stream of 1080 SLI and it's dropping to single digit frames

This game...

 

[jim2point0]

So apparently the game needs a restart JUST for a resolution change? In 2016?

21:9 is just 16:9 stretched?

Stuttering on the most beastly systems?

I'm not touching this port. No way.

 

[Nzyme32]

The text looks stretched in this photo too...

Understatement of the year.

How can anyone possible attempt "21:9 support" and not actually test a 21:9 resolution to respect the correct aspect ratio. Ridiculous if it is true that the game is like that with 21:9.

 

[Fret]

Totalbiscuit is having massive hitching problems

 

[BizzyBum]

Yo, where the whole "adjust gamma until image is barely visible" test!?!?

How do I know what a good setting is? It's just maxed at 128 now.

 

[Kacho]

The hitching on Total Biscuits stream...jesus.

Now he's going to Twitter to warn everyone about the crummy port.

 

[Exile20]

Just because your computer can't run it doesn't mean it's a bad port.

So what a a bad port to you?

Cause I see:
restarting the game for graphic option changes
Crashes from many people
Stuttering out the gate for people with gtx 1080 even
FOV option is not working
really bad 21:9 support
Funky alt-tabbing

In the first 30 minutes of release.

No prelaunch review codes given out either.

 

[DooMAGE]

bad port

 

[oakenhild]

Are you holding e down?

LOL, no I wasn't. For some reason I figured it would start me out on a planet. Ignore this ridiculous issue I had..

 

[styl3s]

Is a terrible shill who kept lying all through his AK PC stream that the game was running at 60. So I wouldn't trust anything he says. But if you're just going by eye then that's fine.

It looks like it was running fine and didn't see pop in but that doesn't matter now that i have played the game myself and runs fine.

Clearly some people are having issues and some aren't i don't know if some of that is on the user side (which some people don't understand about game restarts) or hardware side (maybe it has problems with SLI setups). I don't deny people are having problems but it runs fine for me and some other people so i don't know what to say

 

[Truant]

Seems like the ingame vsync is busted. Investigating.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

My journey begins.

Game initially capped at 30 fps, make sure you unlock that first thing. Running at around 100 fps on my 970 at 1080 with everything on.

This may be the most beautiful planet I've seen so far. Way to start off.

 

[supergiz]

Wait a sec, how do you save on PC? Played 20 minutes, then restarted to apply graphic setting changes and everything I got is gone!!!

 

[Fattony12000]

Hit PLAY in Steam...nothing happens?

 

[RoadHazard]

Draw/generate distance doesn't really look any higher than on PS4 judging by the shots posted here. I'm guessing it generates more quickly though.

 

[| Praxis |]

Totalbiscuit is having massive hitching problems

Yeah, terrible.

Hope he didn't just tab out lol.

 

[Trago]

Good god, been keeping up with a bunch of streamers. Stuttering fucking everywhere.

 

[takriel]

Apparently the 21:9 support is just a stretched 16:9. GG Hello Games

Anyone from gaf tried yet ?

Welp bye NMS. That would have been the only way to play this game for me.

 

[CryptiK]

Just because your computer can't run it doesn't mean it's a bad port.

Nope its a bad port. Streamers like Lirik with top of the line PC's are playing and it is running like shit.

 

[Jams775]

Yeah I'm refunding this, it runs like absolute shit on my system.

Same. Not happy at all about this.

 

[Despera]

I'm interested to see how my laptop is going to handle this lol

 

[bananafactory]

Wait a sec, how do you save on PC? Played 20 minutes, then restarted to apply graphic setting changes and everything I got is gone!!!

You save by entering/exiting a ship (even the crashed one) or using a save post

 

[Nzyme32]

Restart your client.

This should be 101 by now for preloads / release

 

[wesleyshark]

Totalbiscuit is having massive hitching problems

He's not happy, to say the least.

 

[Mrbob]

TB streaming it right now, game hitching like crazy. He is starting his campaign again against pre ordering video games. Calling it a broken game at launch.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Game doesn't even fucking start. And I am not alone.

 

[H1PSTER]

WTF All the menu's have prompts for an xbox controller as well as my keyboard?

Hello Games... Please... :|

 

[Onyar]

Hit PLAY in Steam...nothing happens?

Same for me right now.

Blew my mind.

 

[kraspkibble]

this is so disappointing

i think i'm just gonna wait for it to get a good few patches and for it to go on sale. been looking forward to this so much.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Runs bad on my rig.

OC i7 5820k, 28gb DDR4, OC GTX 1080.

Define bad.

Yeah that's why I'm saying if you're going off you're own word it's fine and I'm grateful for the input, I just don't trust anything the guy says.

 

[Glass Shark]

I really really really want to like this game, but it's getting harder every moment...

Good thing we have Steam refunds.

 

[supergiz]

Going to leave this game running a lot then for when I need to head off and come back an hour later, in the middle of nowhere

 

[molnizzle]

You can improve the stuttering by turning off in-game Vsync. Force through Inspector or Nvidia CP and turn on triple buffering, it'll work because it's an OGL game.

Still getting split second drops though, might need to cap at 30fps. Gonna keep playing around with it.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

It's a stuttery mess so far, running a 5820 @ 4.4ghz, 16gb RAM and a 980TI.

 

[therealminime]

Terrain still fades in like 30 feet in front of me on foot like PS4.

 

[Fattony12000]

Restart your client.

Done that 3 times...also now on my second download and re-install now ;(

 

[MissCauthon]

Same, the game won't work, i figured out how to refund, how long do i have to be permited a refund? just want to wait and see if they fix it before refunding. If it's a 24h refund thing i will do the refund as we speak.

 

[cleveridea]

Woah framerate seems way lower than expected on i7 4790K 32GB RAM Original Titan X

Also the game locked my PC up when I tried to go back to desktop and had to physically reboot (ie hold down power button) since O/S was unresponsive

 

[Roddslayer]

Can I get a refund for my Steam preorder without installing the game?

 

[Smokey]

So uh....the PC version is performing worse than PS4?

 

[ashbash159]

Very very stuttery and lots of hitching.

1080, 6700K, 16GB RAM.

Asking for refund.

 

[bananafactory]

Going to leave this game running a lot then for when I need to head off and come back an hour later, in the middle of nowhere

There's quite a few beacons that let you summon your ship to that location, and a save point at almost every point of interest, most of which are 1-2 minutes by foot and show up in your scanner

Anyways. Disappointing to hear about performance issues. This was my fear, I think they should have pushed back the PC release until it was more ready.

 

[low-G]

Weird that I'm having so much better performance than so many people.

I had real bad stuttering before I switched from 60fps lock to max fps lock...

Totalbiscuit just called it Arkham Knight level bad. I'm out as well.

i think so. don't see why not.
