Define bad.

It was running at 60 then it would drop to 39fps when I turned around. I dropped the res from 4k to 1440p and it's running well enough now.

 

[DMTripper]

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

Holy shit 😭

 

[RoadHazard]

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 have to visit a save point thingy. It doesn't autosave. It does save every time you get out of your ship though, I think. But that's about it, AFAIK. I know for a fact it doesn't even save when you warp to a new system, until you get out of your ship on a planet.

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

Entering ship doesn't save, only exiting.

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

Looks like it.

I'm not going to bother with this game sadly.

i7 6700k @ 4.5ghz
980 @ 1550mhz
16gb of ddr4

Occasional stutter at the beginning, CPU can get hammered pretty hard from time to time (70% load on all threads).

Playing at 2400x1350 downsampled to 1080p with 100 FOV (picture just in 900p for size reasons). 60fps are so far steady. 1800p runs at 30-40fps.

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

I'm tempted to buy it just to refund it.

I love this post.

Still watching the TB stream, kind of funny seeing this in real time for him to stop playing to tweet.

Arkham Knight levels of bad? Congrats Hello Games.

 

[DopeyFish]

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

Hello Games... Please... :|

And mouse too lol

Oh god I can't wait to see how bad this runs on my rig...

 

[Exile20]

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

Are you fucking serious?

Fuck this shit. If there is one thing I hated seeing in the PS4 version was the pop in. Screw this.

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

Don't shoot me but, I've got my money on this performing badly.

Pay me.

 

[DryvBy]

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.

Um, that's a feature of the PS4 too. Please remove this bulletpoint.

 

[Bl@de]

Doesn't look good. Bargain bin and in two years after patches it is then. I'm off to play some Dark Souls 3^^

 

[Kid Ska]

Lmao holy shit... this game.

 

[kraspkibble]

fuck this. i'm out. not gonna buy the game unless they get their shit together.

same here.

 

[cleveridea]

Well now we know why Pascal Titan X just released at the same time

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Garbage port. And what is this terrible UI?

 

[DrArchon]

Well, looks like I'm not getting this. I wanted to give Hello Games the benefit of the doubt even with all the bad reviews because I love relaxing exploration in games, but I'm not going to put up with a crummy port when I have so many other options for crafting/survival/exploration games on Steam.

A real shame, but I guess I should've seen this coming considering how small Hello Games is.

 

[blastprocessor]

Seems like the ingame vsync is busted. Investigating.

Can you try Adaptive VSync if you have an Nvidia card?

 

[mullet2000]

Bummer so many people are having problems.

Being able to refund over stuff like this is why steam is #1 in terms of customer satisfaction though. I probably will refund this when I get home.

I smell hyperbole for hits on his stream

 

[supergiz]

Silly question but how do you craft the carite sheet? I press x on keyboard while highlighting and empty inventory slot and all it does is let me transfer items.

Edit: I have the iron required for it.

 

[red731]

Reinstalling game on SSD.

Will give them time to polish and explore all weekend still.

 

[jaaz]

Running very smooth on my system still. 90+ FPS on a 6700k, 980Ti, 32g ram. Using a 144hz 1440p g-sync monitor and have turned off G-sync. Here are some screens:

 

[Grief.exe]

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...

That would imply a bad vsync implementation which could easily explain the hitching people are experiencing.

[Captain Pants]

I requested a refund. It runs like shit on my laptop.

 

[artsi]

Well after all the communication failures, feature cutbacks and the PC port being simply crap, HG went from my "good indie" list to my shitlist. Sorry.

One freeze broke his sound. I think he was one Voxel away from a CTD!

you need a lot of iron iirc

 

[Specialmias]

On my 970 TI - massive massive issues seems to be "Stuck on a low resolution" FPS of 9 or so.

On my alienware steam machine running windows FPS of 14 and also stuck on a low resolution.

sigh. My ps4 version runs perfectly and smoothly.

 

[Mifec]

I smell a shitpost.

I'd understand if it was some insignificant streamer but TB doesn't even stream often enough to care about twitch revenue.

 

[supergiz]

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.

Performs fine for me. I'm running and i7 4790k with a gtx 970 and 32 gigs of ram. haven't cranked up the shadows though.

 

[~Cross~]

Lirik was getting a tone of spikes early on but it seems to have mostly stabilized now.

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

Why are ingame FPS locks always so shitty?

In game lock off + RTSS is almost always better.

 

[base shagohod]

I'm surprised people even use in-game vsync. I can't remember the last time I did.

 

[Mrbob]

Shame about the performance. I was ready to give this game a chance even with the mixed reviews. But all this hitching is unacceptable. A disastrous PC port will kill a game quicker than middling reviews.

Great screenshot! Too bad the port seems to be pretty bad :/

i don't believe that. like i've said previously, im watching Hasney's stream and it's actually running very nicely, for about 20 mins now. just got his ship working. testing the pop in

I mean... TotalBiscuit.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Trying to run at 60fps on my 980ti/i7 4790k is pretty difficult if we are counting the stuttering and spikes. Despite resolution (1080 / 1440), and in using nvidia vsync and locking with RTSS, still get the huge stutters.

 

[Phreaker]

Crashed 1 min in, renaming my home planet. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. GTX980/i7

 

[TheTrain]

They want to believe .

 

[orava]

Looking at the tb stream, the occasional frame drop looks like a chunk loading issue. Basically bad multithreading.

 

[Leatherface]

after changing the settings and restarting the stuttering seems to have calmed down. It's still there but not terrible. I have all settings maxed, changed the default anti-aliasing to SMAA and I'm running it at 1440 locked at 60FPS since that's all my IPS monitor will output anyway.

OpenGL? A non idTech game in 2016 is using OpenGL? They didn't even try with the PC port did they?

yeah i want to hear more from people turning off in game v-sync and capping elsewhere/using driver v sync
