Support NeoGAF

[Ocelott]

I already refunded...I am not dealing with this shit.

 

[Backlogger]

Can you use AMD or Nvidia settings to force Vsync to see if that helps?

 

[jaaz]

The hitching may be due to v-sync. I have a g-sync monitor so I turned it off. Only hitching I saw was in the title screen and on the opening cinematic. None during game play so far. Hoping this gets through the hyperbole.

 

[m_shortpants]

Gonna try it out for myself and see what's up.

 

[therealminime]

Ground geometry pops in substantially closer then the plants in this gif. (gif is PC version with everything at max)

 

[bede-x]

I smell hyperbole for hits on his stream

I don't want to be the judge on that, but it does look like it runs very badly with long hitching/stuttering pauses.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Yeah, I feel like FOV isn't changing.

Other than that I've been pretty smooth with slight studdering when scanning or analyzing.

i53500k

8g ram

Had a crash when I alt-tab'd

 

[Kaffeemann]

Guys, force anisotropic filtering through the driver. In-game AF is bad.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

oof, the pop in is still pretty bad. the shimmering effect still very noticeable. stuttered pretty bad flying around as well.

 

[Nzyme32]

Lmao holy shit... this game.

21:9 support is the funniest thing so far for me.

- Flaunt you will support 21:9
- Proclaim you don't actually have a 21:9 screen but will "use cardboard" to "extend" the current screen to work it out (making no sense - why not attempt 1920x822)
- Provides screenshot of eyefinity style setup that demonstrates obviously broken support for the correct aspect ratio, apparently oblivious to any problem

What does he thing 21:9 support is?!

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

So is the port actually that bad?

My first thought on PS4 is "I need this on PC". A better framerate alone could help the "cheapness" I sometimes felt from movement. And the sandy dissolve-pop-in effect, is it still there? It was really visually jarring on PS4. Anybody own both the PC and PS4 with impressions?

I haven't built my gaming PC yet, but this was one of those games that could use the extra oomph. I hope the Neo version of this game optimizes things too.

 

[Timeaisis]

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

 

[shanafan]

Just posting what TotalBiscuit said on his stream.

“I strongly suggest you do not buy this game right now because it’s broke as fuck.”

"The framerate is all over the place, and the pop-in is pretty bad."

https://www.twitch.tv/totalbiscuit

I am willing to still buy it because I do want to try it, but I will have that finger on the refund button just in case.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Tried setting max pre rendered frames to 4 in the control panel and the stuttering is not as bad so far

 

[robotrock]

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

what's wrong wiith OpenGL

 

[base shagohod]

Also wondering why people pre-order, just to refund.
It's not my money, but cmon y'all. It's 2016, games ship broken sometimes.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

The game needs a driver update for Nvidia cards. It runs OK but could be better.

Also, found a glitch: When you change the settings before moving around, then restart the game, you spawn on a completely different planet. It's almost as if you get to choose which planet to start the game on. Odd that it wouldn't save after spawning into the world.

 

[Ilive1up]

totalbiscuit is whining way too much.

 

[Mrbob]

TB pausing to tweet again lol.

 

[OneUh8]

Can anyone confirm it is the vsync causing the stuttering? I turn it off and use it in the nvidia control panel because I have a gsync monitor. Just curious. I won't be able to play until tonight.

 

[OverturePT]

Ffs man, I was already having my doubts with all the crap going around and now the port is a mess. I'm out. One of my most anticipated games of the year...

 

[Chris_Rivera]

Anyone with a 6 or 8 core (not threads) Intel CPU have good perf?

 

[Ilive1up]

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

obvs never played Arkham Knight on PC at launch.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

bruh, never forget Sim City 4

 

[Kacho]

totalbiscuit is whining way too much.

He definitely seems out for blood lol

 

[orava]

TB pausing to tweet again lol.

I usually like the guy but he looks like that he's on some kind of crusade right now.

 

[Stratosphere]

What do y'all primarily use for fps capture?

 

[Kule]

Playing on 3440x1440 and the HUD is massive. Can't find a way to resize it anywhere and it's annoying as it distracts from the immersion.

 

[OneUh8]

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

Not even close lol.

 

[molnizzle]

What do y'all primarily use for fps capture?

Afterburner.

 

[kris.]

quick, everyone work out the kinks before i can get to my computer in saaaaaay 10 hours!

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

this is not a Warner Bros game, bud.

 

[zXe]

Oh dear...

 

[Xando]

Seeing the issues you guys have i'm glad i cancelled my pre order when they delayed it for a few days

 

[bananafactory]

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

So far it doesn't seem even the worst launch of 2016. (That goes to Quantum Break)

But yeah. Not a good start. The 21:9 problem is really bad

 

[drotahorror]

Game doesn't even look 1080p to me.

This is everything maxed with that SSAA x4 or w/e its called.

 

[jet1911]

totalbiscuit is whining way too much.

It's stuttering pretty bad and the framerate is shit when flying over the planet. He's got reasons to whine.

 

[Timeaisis]

obvs never played Arkham Knight on PC at launch.

I mean combined with the console release. Arkham Knight ran fine on consoles. The blowback on Tuesday plus this just seems really awful.

 

[noomi]

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

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

I haven't used vsync in years, I was never bothered or really noticed tearing. Vsync always seems to give a weird mouse delay.

Guys, force anisotropic filtering through the driver. In-game AF is bad.

This guy knows, always have control panel set to x16

 

[Lister]

Some devs really have a hard time streamign content from RAM to GPU on PC for some reason.

It relaly looks like this game needed another couple of months in the oven, and not jsut the PC version, but probably that most of all.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

totalbiscuit is whining way too much.

It's what he always does.

 

[Flandy]

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.

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.

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.

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

Blew my mind.

I seem to be seeing more on the sides in 21:9?

I think it works but the hud is stretched

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Lotta stuttering for me. I thought it was my Steam Link connection for a while.

 

[exmachina64]

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

Okay, that fixed my stuttering.

 

[Mifec]

It's stuttering pretty bad and the framerate is shit when flying over the planet. He's got reasons to whine.

We call them legitimate complaints though, not whining.

idk why the people are calling it whining.

 

[Mrbob]

To be fair, TB hates poor performance more than anything else. So I can understand his frustration looking at how poorly the game is running on his beast rig.

 

[Nzyme32]

This might be the worst launch of a game I've ever witnessed.

My previous thread suggesting development woes, might well be taken more seriously now, with those "rumours" most likely being true

From that thread - key points:

• Optimisation on PC has been hell
• Lots of technical problems getting the game to run at the scale they want

These appear to be true

 

[akileese]

I usually like the guy but he looks like that he's on some kind of crusade right now.

Yeah. I mean, people are having issues, but he's acting like this is the worst launch in the history of video games and it's not. There are plenty of people out there without issues playing right now.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

totalbiscuit is whining way too much.

Thus summing up the man.



I don't know why anyone who isn't a gamergater pays him any attention.

 

[rahulkadukar]

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.

Steam #1 in customer satisfaction. What you smokin bruh ?

 

[Trago]

totalbiscuit is whining way too much.

I mean, the port is pretty bad though.
