I have not used cocaine
One of the few times i preordered a game. Never played Nier, love Nier: Automata. Played Bayonetta and Revengeance. So glad I took a chance.

I agree. However, one can not help but think "I hope this time they finally get the message" every time a niche Japanese game does well on Steam.
It's very obviously a bug, since it doesn't affect everyone and the 'fix' is simply running it in borderless windowed mode without changing anything about the game itself.
I can either play it with excessive screen tearing, or with vsync but then I get a fluctuating framerate between 30 and 60. (this is on a 1070 and only at 1080p). It's totally unacceptable, and the game still has these issues on low graphic settings too. It's one of the worst PC port I've ever played, I realise there are community fixes, but they mess with the animations so I don't want to touch them (and shouldn't need to anyway). I don't think there's anything entitled about wanting a game to run at 1080p 60.

This makes me genuinely happy.
When people say "bad port" that implies that there are issues present that the console version doesn't have. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Doesn't mean they shouldn't fix issues.
Turn down AA.
My card is half as powerful as yours and I'm running this at 1080p60 with everything except shadows max, AA off and even have ReShade post-processing injected.
If that doesn't do the trick, something is wrong.
There's no reason you should get that performance with your card and many run this game just fine with weaker cards as well in the performance thread.
They don't mess with anything by default? Only if you unlock the fps.

This is weird, I'm getting very stable 50-60 fps at 1080p on my GTX770 4gb, no stuttering or screen tearing at all. Game does stutter a lot for me when i had AA enabled (turn it off completely, it doesn't noticeably affects visuals in this game but affects performance greatly) and when i forgot to close media player and other resource demanding programs before starting Nier. Yes, engine is shit, but it's not THAT bad.
Couldn't be more chuffed. PC Port was almost perfect for me, not a single crash in my 50+ hours, worked flawlessly with my X1 gamepad and obviously reaping the benefits of a higher quality image. The GI was a little too demanding on my GTX1060 so once that mod was available to lower it to medium I was enjoying a solid 60FPS at 4x AA at all times (up from 50-60 fluctuating with no AA)
A few bugs like the resolution thing, isn't gonna get me suddenly calling this a "shit port" although I feel for you if you're stuck with the white screen crashes but I can't think of a single port that worked perfectly for all hardware off the bat. Especially a japanese port
Hopefully there's a fix for that

Disable AA. It's MSAA and expensive.
Nier has one or two little bugs that prevent it from being an amazing port, but it is a completely functional port that runs just fine even on modest hardware with the right settings. It's much better than anything KT have done, and I would argue much better than stuff like Dark Souls or most of SE's other PC ports.
I can get 1080/60 on a HD7950 with some effort, your 1070 should be able to hit 1080/60 with ease and even go higher.
well that seems to be you cause i have a 1070 and i am on 1440p with barely any drops, specially with the gi fix, i have none basically. it is far from being one of the worst pc ports ever, make me think how many pc games have you played to even say that.

Congrats on the success. I wish performance was better on PC tho.
Looking forward to late ports with Valve-themed preorder accessories.
Agreed. The game has nothing even remotely as bad as Forza Horizon 3 or Arkham Knight.
Source? I've never seen anyone mention this.
With no msaa (the game still has fine temporal AA) or msaa 2x I get a solid 60 fps with no drops with everything else maxed out with my 1070. It should be no problem.
This is likely very specific to the unlocked framerate mod. Some animations might be linked to frames instead of delta time I guess.
Haven't seen anything myself, but I haven't played with that mod. There's no such issues with any of the other fixes like the GI mod or the fullscreen fix.
Some have mentioned it in the performance thread that the FPS unlock mod has some bugs.
I haven't tried it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Plus you don't actually need the community patch. Just using Borderless Gaming works too. (For the fullscreen bug anyway).

I did my part. Bought it day one and have only played the prologue so far as Mass Effect came out 2 days later. Will be coming back soon.
Damn it.
Lets hope that's not their take on it. But it's Square so anything's possible I guess.

I still can't believe Sega ported Valkyria Chronicles to PC, it did great, then they ported Sonic goddamn Lost World and called it a day.
Well at least you can take solace in the fact that they have assured us that they have multiple projects in the working.
They've said they have news to share in 'the New Year' at the end of last year. A quarter of the year is over now, so any day now! Surely!
Meanwhile, the guy who was doing the reassuring has left the company.

No. You are thinking about the FPS unlock, which you obviously don't need to run at a locked 60 FPS.
Anyway, even without any community mods, the game will run at 60 FPS easily on a 1070 at 1080p.
Unless, of course, you enable high levels of MSAA, but that's on you.
It's not like Dark Souls 1 at all. Nier: Automata natively supports arbitrary resolutions for the main 3D rendering pass, you just need to use borderless fullscreen to access them on some configurations. That's not a "mod", that's a 5 second tweak.
Dark Souls 1 supported exactly one rendering resolution without in-depth modding, and that was 1024x720.

To be fair we are getting Sonic Mania and Forces on PC. But those are probably not what he was referring to when he meant more ports.

I believe this statement has been made by Saito or Taro or one of the people involved with Nier Automata. If the demand for the new game is strong enough they'd consider porting the original to current gen.
Loved first Nier. This one not interests me.
Any particular reason? It's very much a Nier game, if that's what worries you. A lot of people were worried that Platinum being involved would mean linear character action game instead of Nier. Not the case, thankfully.
