How to make game start faster
There is video files in this folder that could be considered ending spoilers because of their name!!!

Any 980 users? How's it running?
The FOV slider is coming in an update for what its worth. No idea about HUD.

People with GTX 970 are reporting excellent performance at 1080p. I think you will be fine even at 1440p.

Port is looking good so far, then? I still have to beat Automata, but I can't wait to grab this one a month or two down the road. Confirmed Steam Controller support is a nice little bonus. 1060 impressions so far are great, though I hope my i7 2600 doesn't hurt performance much.

980 + 1440p brothers, what say you?

Cheers, added. I tweaked the instructions so people don't risk inadvertently eyeing potential spoilers.
Anyone found a way to change FOV yet?
I'm really glad to hear it's a solid enough release, and i'll be diving in real soon. It's just games with low FOV tend to make me feel a bit sick, more often than not; so it's a bit of a deal breaker for me until there's a way to increase it.

It doesn't. I have a 2600k @ 4ghz. Barely hits 50% usage.

Yeah just make sure to set it as read only to prevent the settings from getting over written.
Apparently so - from reddit. Default is 85
Also I think you can turn the objective markers off by marking the quests inactive in the pause screen, I'm guessing they reactivate with new quests though.

so
4790k, 16 gigs ram, gtx 1080, at 21:9.
I should be ok right? Pondering picking this up.

Did you like Dishonored and/or Bioshock? If so, the answer seems to be yes. Pretty solid port.
Maybe during the next moon cycle
Now that audio thing got fixed by devs it's solid. Running it maxed out on 1080p and 60FPS locked. No input delay.
Sadly you need adjust FoV via config file for now and no HUD options.
Whats the default FoV set to? i generally take it all the way to 90.
The default value seems to be resolution-based. At 1080p, it's 85.
That's not actually bad then, for a game with no slider yet.
Comparatively, do we have an estimate for the console FoV?
I threw together a quick video to demonstrate the stuttering that I'm seeing with the texture quality turned up: https://gfycat.com/CharmingCharmingBordercollie
No-one else is seeing this?
Other than that, the game performance is great.
When using the low texture quality setting it's perfectly smooth.
Nothing like the mess that Dishonored 2 was - and still is.
G-Sync doesn't prevent stutters caused by the engine hitching/loading assets.
It eliminates stutters caused by the framerate being out of sync with the refresh rate; e.g. any framerate that is not 60/30/20/15 FPS stuttering on a 60Hz display.
The lobby area is hovering around 75-100 FPS and that looks perfectly smooth with G-Sync. Without G-Sync, I would have to cap that to 60 FPS at 60Hz or else it would stutter.
But any time the engine hitches as you're running around, you will notice that.
I'll have to test and see whether the setting is actually 102 though. Many games use 16:9 or even 4:3 HFOV numbers and automatically adjust for wider displays despite what the number says.

Only enable the VPN to unlock and run the game. Don't use it to download updates!
It was ~102 for me at 3440x1440. I prefer 122 HFOV for this display though. (74 VFOV)

Considering than a 1080 is roughly twice fps of a 970, and that a 1060 is even better, you should definitely have 60fps at similar settings...
Nice! so so far, it sounds promising. Since this is not ID Poop 5, its safe to assume 'frame pacing' is not an issue?
Whats your rig and your display like that you're using that FoV and running it on 4k. I would love to run this in 4k.

Yeah, you can actually kill the VPN and Steam will still download the update in the background. You'll know it's done when there's no folder named "480490" in SteamApps\downloading.

Are you experiencing those noticeable stutters on an SSD or HDD?
What GPU? Maybe the higher textures are using up a lot of VRAM.

Short video of the game running at 4k/max settings on an overclocked 1080. The stutter is from me recording the video with Geforce Experience, it feels much better when not recording. I've seen some drops down to 44 during the tutorials 4 test chambers (no idea why tbh). Outside of that performance seems to be between 50-60 fps. At 1440p the game runs with 115-144 fps. YT is still processing the video, 4k should be available soon.

id Tech 5 doesn't have the 'frame pacing' issues that the Void Engine does.
In fact, all the other id Tech 5 games run very smoothly on this PC.
That problem is exclusive to Dishonored 2.
AMD R7-1700X @ 3.9GHz
16GB DDR4 @ 2666-16-16-16-39-1T (also tried 3600, but 2666 is all I've done full stability testing with so far)
8GB GTX 1070 Strix OC.
1TB Samsung 960 Evo NVME SSD.
ASUS PG348Q (3440x1440 @ 100Hz G-Sync)
The game doesn't seem to have great multi-threading with most of the workload being placed on two CPU cores, but it's an AMD Ryzen-sponsored game, and AMD apparently sent engineers over to help optimize it, so I would hope that it's not the CPU causing this stuttering.
Samsung 960 Evo NVME SSD.
GTX 1070 (8GB).
The game never seems to use much more than about 4.5GB VRAM - which may be the problem.
Like as in the game caps itself at ~4.5GB even though it technically needs more?

You've answered my 1080ti question then, awesome.
Look at the top left corner of the gif. It's using about the same amount of vram on Low as it is on Very High.

Running a standard reference 980 at 1440p on high settings and it seems to be fine for me, though I only played maybe... 30 minutes so far. I've given up trying to push very high/ultra settings with this card and resolution but the high preset seems to be fine.
Well I don't know if it's capped or if it needs more, but since the texture quality is what seems to cause this stuttering, I'd think it would be best to be using all available VRAM to cache textures.
I did just test this again, and if I start the game on low, rather than starting on v.high and dropping it to low, VRAM is around 3GB. So there is less VRAM in use.
It's just strange that it's only using about 4.5GB on v.high when there's 8GB available.

1440p on a single 970 + i5 4690, works super fine with G-sync. Ranging from 51 to 72-73 fps so far. CryEngine delivered!
Mixture of high and very high, with shadows at medium.

144 seems to be the cap. My i7/1080 combo is able to push 115-144 fps at 1440p. You should be fine at 1080p.
