Nothing else even comes close.

ehhhh... I still believe Arkam City was REALLY well done using UE3.

 

[-PXG-]

This being a UE3 game, the config will be a sinch to fix.

4096 MaxLOD Size, where you at!!??!?!

ehhhh... I still believe Arkam City was REALLY well done using UE3.

Epic be making dat cash money and licking their chops.

Dem UE royalties.

The stu. stu tut stuttering is annoying the hell out of me. I force vsync on and triple buffering through Nvidia Inspector and no dice. I'm flabbergasted. It seems almost all of my games have this jitter. I'm going to turn down some more features.

you try D3DOverriderinstead of NI?

This may sound dumb, but this happens to me sometimes.

Updating your drivers will disable SLI. Just remember to turn it back on.

How does this run on an E8500 and GTX285?

More like Bioshock 1 or 2? The first run great most of the time, the second not so much, for no reason.

Just curious if it's even worth trying before I build the new PC which should be any day now, maybe even tomorrow.

Well, it actually runs pretty good with good enough settings at 720p. Usually over 30 fps outside the loading hitches. The intro and other calm parts were often 75 fps locked but they're not exactly the most taxing. I suppose performance is closer to Bioshock 2, a little more stable, and a lot more justified with how the game looks I guess. Either way it's playable while looking nice, perhaps it can be improved by reducing settings further. I'd paste a benchmark but I don't understand how to import it in Open Office...

Edit: maybe this will do... Dunno how it got that high max fps when it was vsynced through the nvidia control panel.

The min fps was mostly those hitches.

For settings it's at 720p resolution and then:
Aa off
Texture detail High
Texture filtering High
Dynamic shadows High
Postprocessing Normal
Light shafts On
Ao Off
Object lod High
Lock framerate Off

Not bad for this PC I'd say. Of course it wasn't going to run smooth like DmC! And I have room for reductions.

Edit: reducing all the High settings above to Medium gives about 10 extra average fps in each instance where they didn't stay near the vsync limit previously, it still looks pretty damn good too. It definitely seems to be a decently optimized game, so far.

 

[PeterVenkman]

The readme for SweetFX mentions hitting the wrench and checking "Enable compatibility with modified Direct3D runtime libraries" for compatibility with D3D, but hitting the wrench gives me no such option. . .

 

[pleunv]

Also affected by the stutter, even though it's averaging ~50FPS on High. Sort of the same behaviour I have in Most Wanted (even post-patch). Were there any solutions for that? 460GTX.

 

[antitrop]

ehhhh... I still believe Arkam City was REALLY well done using UE3.

Okay, you have a point. That does come close, but it certainly does not surpass.

 

[BraXzy]

Shame that certain areas on Ultra have bad framerate for me. I don't want to see this world in anything but it's best. Here's some shots I took:

I tried to make them as none spoilery as possible but I suggest playing this game and soaking in the visuals first

I'm no good at capturing mega HD screenshots so they don't do the game justice but.. Yeah

 

[dmr87]

I'm running it maxed out at 1440p on 2x GTX 670s, the random stutter has to be that I'm running out of memory since I'm only on 2GB, 1080p has no problems. I'm at about 50-70% on each GPU.

The trick I use to eliminate input lag and still having V-sync on is capping the framerate just below 60.

XEngine.ini

bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=59
Lock framerate ingame


And disable these when you are going in and out the game to fiddle, annoying intros. Just put a dot before the line to disable.

XEngine.ini

'StartupMovies=2KLogoSweep720p2997
'StartupMovies=IrrationalLogoTest
'StartupMovies=UE3AnimatedLogo_ProRes

[JohngPR]

using SweetFX seems to disrupt D3DOverrider, any tips?

If you have an AMD card, try forcing Triple buffering/Vsync with Radeon Pro , if you have and NVidia card, try using inspector.

 

[toastyToast]

Using a geforce 400 or 500 series GPU? Did you see green squares on screen during the crash? If so, just use msi afterburner and increase the core voltage on your gpu.

Nah, 600. It looked like a regular crash. Froze and then Bioshock stopped working.

Hasn't happened again after playing for another half hour so I'm hoping it was a one off type of thing.

 

[Durante]

If you have an AMD card, try forcing Triple buffering/Vsync with Radeon Pro , if you have and NVidia card, try using inspector.

Or, with any card, just use borderless windowed fullscreen mode.

 

[knitoe]

I have to wait for my retail copy to arrive, but anyone running Titan(s)? 1440p? What's your fps? Ram usage? Wondering if people's stuttering are cause by hitting the ram limit, like in Skyrim with mods.

 

[BarrelMakingPenguin]

Perhaps it is too early to be asking this question and I apologize if it has been asked before. Would I get a noticeably better experience with this game on an Alienware X51 than on a 360?

[ruxtpin]

I'm building a new PC...

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770k Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)
RAM: Corsaire Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB)
GPU: ASUS GTX680 w/ 4GB
Storage: 256GB SSD + 1TB Standard HD

Case and MoBo aside... Would I be able to run the game on it's highest settings with the above hardware?

 

[rac]

Does using Nvidia Control Panel for AA work? Why is everyone using Sweetfx instead?

 

[neoism]

anyone playing on an non SP1 machine.... wonder if that would matter or not... so scard to pull the trigger. and it not work.... :/

 

[antitrop]

"for all your alt-tabbing pleasures, try borderless windowed mode!"

Complete with only 2/3 of the frames of Fullscreen mode!

No seriously, it drops my FPS from 60 to 40-45.

That's because you don't have that Durante mod, it's up on FileFront

 

[tborsje]

Ahhhhhhhh the stuttering! This game must eat VRAM for breakfast...

Running at 1080p with all settings a mix of high and ultra, vsynced via D3Doverrider. Very smooth at rendering outside areas, but as soon as the engine has to render a new scene there's a solid 2-5 seconds of extreme stuttering.

GTX570 (.22 drivers) & C2Q@3.4GHz

 

[MikeE21286]

Playing it with a i7 2700K & 7970, Highest settings @1080p and its running at 80+ frames and vsync on locks at steady 60fps
Some more screenshots, the art in this game is something else

That 2nd picture is insane.

Good stuff.

Are you serious? Of course you will be able to max out the game lol.

FUUUUCK IT...$60 wasted or not just got it

Hey! The last PC I built was when I graduated high-school in 2002. After that turned into a dinosaur after a couple of year I transitioned to consoles. Figured it was finally time to jump back into the PC pool.

 

[dmr87]

Damn, I can't stop taking screenshots, sooooo pretty.

 

[DeathGlobe]

Do we have anyone who has tested this on a 560ti?

lol yeah your system is insane the 16gb of ram is overkill though....


DLing now... :/ damn I really want to play this... crosses all toes and fingers... my system wont be a bitch.. :/

 

[tjohn86]

Come on 9 PM!

 

[kurahador]

anyone knows where i can see the comparison between low--->high setting? Hope it doesn't differs much.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

you try D3DOverriderinstead of NI?

same. screen tearing at an all time high also.

 

[Grief.exe]

Anyone discovered a console command to remove the hud?

shawn said 1999 mode... earlier.. not sure if there's a command or tweak though..

 

[RibbedHero]

GTX 670 with everything maxed at 1080p:

With DDOF: Avg of 71

Without DDOF: Avg of 80

 

[Zeliard]

shawn said 1999 mode... earlier.. not sure if there's a command or tweak though..

You've still got the health and salt bars in 1999 mode, but they're very small (especially if you downsample). It's a very far cry from Far Cry 3 hehehehehehehe

But yes.

 

[Salsa]

game unlocked early in latin america, out of fucking nowhere

this lighthouse has a face




anyway:

OC'ed 680, i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz, everything on Ultra + downsampling = constant 60 so far.

 

[Eyothrie]

sorry for the quick off topic question.. I've been on Steam for a while now, but this is the first game I preordered. Is the midnight unlocking EST time? I'm REEEEEEALY hoping my game unlocks at 11pm CST where I am.

 

[toastyToast]

2 crashes now while walking around Soldier's Field and I think my 4th overall.

Salt towards game rising.

 

[pot]

Anyone running this on an old GTX460 (768mb)?

 

[MikeE21286]

this lighthouse has a face

dammit.

talk about can't unsee! lol

 

[Salsa]

also: Avira detected a .dll in the game folder as a virus and wouldnt let me launch the game at first

 

[gdt]

Getting some serious stuttering now . Not game breaking, but really annoying.

 

[dmr87]

And the DoF, hnnnngnhh

 

[jim2point0]

And the DoF, hnnnngnhh

Where do you see DoF? I've actually not noticed it yet.

 

[Spazznid]

This game looks far better than anything I was prepared for. In motion, it is simply breathtaking and in big, sky-line battles, it's orgasmic. The level of quality across the entire game is top notch. The only thing I could have fixed so far is the hit to performance in certain areas.

So far, this has been a near perfect game for me.

 

[j-wood]

Any word on what I can expect settings to run on gtx 460 1gb?

 

[Santiako]

Is there a way (via ini editing or something) to add subtitles to the voxophones?

 

[Coolbgdog12]

infinite stutter.
