I can't tell if this is a joke or if you seriously think 70%+ of people in this game are having the game be unplayable.

Thank you
Didn't know you could check this way, bookmarked the site.
Yep. Look at the history here, seems like it was the redists (at first I was assuming due to size, then I checked the history page). Change #2172824.
https://steamdb.info/app/275850/history/
I would recommend people try installing it, may be an updated one they don't have installed.

You change some settings in the options.
C'mon now. Ain't no one that lazy. He just wanted to shit on the game, obvious by the way he was acting.

I disagree. Given the custom nature of PC gaming, you have to accept some level of flexibility.

Press E?
I had a pop up to hit C, what is he talking about?

PC gaming today of course is in a far better place than its hayday. But that doesn't mean we have to go back to the memories of doing it the hard way.
Flexibility means we can dip below the standard?

Also just noticed you can un-check the option for DLC ship in steam
I'm doing this first thing.
I don't want to run around a planet blindly looking for a Hyperdrive to drive my Pre-Order ship.
I'm happy with just the free suit upgrades at this point.
This is why PC gamers are treated like second class citizens. Expect more from devs.
My framerate has been pretty good on a 1070
The odd stutter here and there but thats to be expected with a generating game right? It hasn't taken away from the experience for me at least but I'm I'm not that delicate when it comes to framerate.
The UI and what not feels very "porty" though.
Yep. Even if the game ran flawlessly, the UI is absolutely horrible on KB/M.
Why? He's right. There are too many different PC configurations out there for default settings to be a one-size-fits-all. PC gamers will always need to tweak the settings some. If one is too bothered to go into the settings and tweak a little to match their system, then a console is probably a better option for them.
Having to go into the options on a PC game = doing it the hard way. Roger.
TB live thoughts on a game outside of PC port issues are usually bad. He needs to take time to organise his thought process. This NMS stream is a great example. He says "even if the performance was great, I'd probably hate the game", yet he hasn't played more than 15 mins, hasn't listened to the tutorials and is mostly frustrated (rightfully so) at the crazy hitching issues and other performance and lack of PC thought in the design of the games UI / settings.
Definitely not worth listening to his live impressions of gameplay, but worthwhile for thoughts on the port quality - but almost anyone could do that fine, and has.

Choosing On or Off in an option menu confirmed too difficult for PC gamers!
Girlfriends got it running fine on her i7 / 970M 16GB laptop. I'll have fun testing on my PC later when I can family share it on my Desktop.

Let me know how it runs with G-sync! (and Vsync OFF)
I'm curious if the Nvidia hardware G-sync is better than the game's own vsync.

Nope. Sorry. I expect my game sto functiona dn perform well. Tweaking is about makign aesthetic changes or goying beyond what should be expected by taking advantage of more hardware power or tuning to lower end hardware. That's it.
We should not be asked to fix framepacing in a game for christ sakes. Who thinks like this?

That's not a bug though (except for not being able to get back into the game), it's just how the game works. It doesn't autosave, except when getting out of your ship. To save progress on a planet you have to use a save beacon thingy.

But also why many have a superior experience, while others fall behind. Consoles are equal for all, exactly what you are demanding.
No hyperbole, but he is legitimately impossible for me to listen to. I'm sitting here at my desk at work visibly uncomfortable because I feel like I've been yelled at for the short amount of time I watched his stream. I dunno, not my thing I guess? I don't get it. If I wanted an angry man yelling at me while playing videogames I'd go play Overwatch ranked or something.
LOL. I just thought that was some progress symbol.

If you are on Windows 10 ver 1607, you can force update the 369.09 driver early from the device manager, reportedly it improves performance. Doubt it'll help in this case though.

People are playing/bought it now, though.
I'm a masochist lol. I do understand everyones gripes and points though. Just having fun with it.
I kept scrolling and found one positive review: 'the refund button works well'.
Forced to refund for now.
I'm running an i5 6500k OC'd to 4.5 and a 980ti with 16 gb of ram, constant dips to below 20 fps, micro stuttering when loading in anything thats not in view, games hiccuping for about 1-2 seconds every so often.
Really a mess in my opinion, didn't buy this on ps4 was waiting to play it on pc.
I tried everything, dropping everything to low, turning vsync off, framerate to max borderless window etc, couldn't get it to run smooth.
Really upset this was at the top of my want list for like 2 years now.

Well son of a bitch. haha. I'm not worried. It'll be patched. I am very causally approaching this experience until I am comfortable these glitches are resolved.

we're in a PC performance thread for fucks sake! I mean come on.
Thanks, downloading now so I will have a look.
That's bizarre. I have got the stuttering but nothing like as bad as what you're describing. Running off an SSD or HDD? Wonder if it's streaming issues.

Arkham Knight flashbacks but at least it seems Sean is very active in finding solutions / patching the game.. Give it a few days perhaps.

I have now set everything low, and its frame rate is in the toilet, so choppy. I set FPS to 30, and it cant even hit that.

Basic settings are not working. This isn't a tweak...something is fundamentally broken. For everyone.
It's not like developers are coding to specific hardware. That's what middleware and API's are for.
SmartWaffles

Well apparently there are games that do the one size fits all things correctly, how surprising.
Serious. The game is very janky right now, especially for $60. I've played early access games that were more polished.

I tried every setting and fixed that could possibly get this game to run better and nothing works, refunding this and getting the PS4 version instead.
My rig is a GTX 770 and an i5 4790k CPU

They pushed prerequisite libraries. May help people that can't get the game to load but there is no performance difference.
Everything else he is blaming on drivers and shitty PCs.
My starting planet looks like ass compared to yours. Geez.

My game hasnt downloaded the 18mb patch. Even after restarting steam, setting is at always make sure game is up to date.

I did "delete local content" in the steam menu for the game and I am redownloading - that should remove all traces of the old game right including saves?
Game ran first time but locks up PC when try to start it so am redownloading game
