mine disappeared, or do I have to literally type it in? Hopefully it's not a retarded question

Mouse smoothing thing? Line should be there, but if it isn't you can just add it.

Well that made a huge difference lol. Is that ultra textures? 6gb of vram?

Ultra textures yeah and 980Ti has 6GB of VRAM.

Pre-rendered setting has interesting impact on VRAM and CPU usage. Could be also game doing something weird with caching data. When I took "No setting" pic I had moved around in the map little, but "With setting" shot is without me moving at all.

This is the kind of shit that made me buy a Pro. Maybe I'm getting old but I'm tired of having to spend hours tweaking every new PC release to get it to run straight.

Mouse smoothing in config file, dishonored2Config.cfg.

Where file is; C:\Users\<Insert_Username>\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\dishonored2\base

Someone on reddit said that changing it 0 gets reverted back to 1 when in-game, may have to set the file to read only in that case.

Doubt it's going to run any better on a PS4 Pro. But different standards and all that.

 

[Tovarisc]

Stayed in "0" state for me. Started game twice since changing value. Still setting file to Read-Only is good measurement if you want to play it safe.

Edit: Also possible it gets swapped from 0 => 1 if you change in-game settings.

 

[flipswitch]

So the 9gb patch was included with the steam download? I hope they release another one soon.

Feels sluggish at the moment, controller wise and performance wise. Still playable but could be better.

Gotcha. Does it make a noticeable difference though?

edit: I guess I'll find out in 10 minutes edit-edit: Or not.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Bummer, couldn't get VPN to work for some reason? Oh well, not much longer. I actually thought it was out tomorrow night...

I didn't test it and will play more tomorrow, but Conkerkid11 reported improved control in-game.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I look forward to you guys having this all figured out by tomorrow! Keep at it!

 

[EdLin]

I am currently using a Haswell i3 and 750ti, as my gaming rig is out of commission. Will it play this OK? What sort of settings, medium?

 

[Jtrizzy]

This is the kind of shit that made me buy a Pro. Maybe I'm getting old but I'm tired of having to spend hours tweaking every new PC release to get it to run straight.

I'm sick of it too. Problem is 60 fps is the reason I keep a PC, and the Pro isn't doing much as frame rate goes.

 

[kase23]

Did some testing with the tutorial level using 3 separate forms of frame counter software, it says the game is rendering at above
70fps but to the naked eye its doing at the most half of that figure, its especially notable when moving up and down the stairs before the first crouch tutorial.
If I had bothered to read up on D2's engine of choice I wouldn't have bothered with my pre-order
I just assumed it was going to be on UE3 or any of the later variants, Fuck IDtech5.
I brought the cdkey from a legitimate re seller site so I cant even refund this,

 

[Pop On Arrival]

What settings are you guys running at? that's how far i can go with mininaml dips below 60 after the "fix" Still pretty jarring since in doors its so smooth

am getting constant 60fps on ultra with 6700k and 1070...but i just started...2 hours in, so i dunno. so far so good. game looks like ASS though.

Trying putting adaptive resolution from 75 to 100.

 

[Carlius]

Trying putting adaptive resolution from 75 to 100.

its on 75..should i put it on 100?

 

[Dmax3901]

its on 75..should i put it on 100?

Yep, so it's percentage based basically. 100 should be native resolution.

 

[Peterthumpa]

its on 75..should i put it on 100?

100 should give you your current resolution of choice.

 

[Robobandit]

its on 75..should i put it on 100?

yes.

That means you're running at 75% of your selected resolution. Throw it up to 100 to run at native res.

 

[jrcbandit]

Is it because you are sitting closer to your monitor, but the resolution scaling looks HORRIBLE on PC compared to consoles? I couldn't stand Quantum Break non-native scaling at all and it sounds like it shouldn't be enabled by default here either ;p.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

can we agree though that the game doesn't look good enough to justify running so poorly on modern rigs? I mean it looks alright with the artstyle, but its nothing mindblowing.

why the shit is fps tied to mouse movement too? If I do a fast 180, fps dips noticeably

 

[ZombieLPK]

Dips to the 40's in certain areas (most notably the tracks near the dock looking back at Dunwall) with an i7 6700k and a GTX 1080 at 2560x1080 on ultra settings 100% resolution. Not even the high end is enough to brute force it 100% of the time, hopefully it can be patched to run smoother.

I agree,it looks a few years old.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

honestly when i saw the graphics i was expecting this to run at 144hz since doom was at 200. What I got was a weird fluctuating 50-140 even with vsync on

 

[drotahorror]

I know I shouldn't say much yet but just messing with the menu's I noticed the mouse acceleration/input lag.

Borderless Window Mode fixed that pretty much. Hopefully it's fine in game.

friction - no
friction level - 0
mouse smoothing - 0

*mouse smooth is still set to "1" in the config file though.


I prefer no AA when it comes to the implementations featured here.

 

[flipswitch]

Load times are super quick on SSD, like 4-5 seconds to load a different area.

I wouldn't say the game looks like ass though. The image is soft yes, but everything else to me looks very good.

 

[Coreda]

Insane amounts of aliasing and very dodgy rendering distance drops quality of all of that so hard. You need to be very close for stuff to look good.

How image quality deteriorates;

It's really as if there's a WarpSharp-like filter applied to the entire image. Anyone know if there's something controlling this in the config options?

Exaggerated WarpSharp filter comparison for reference, using one of jim2point0's TW3 screenshots (brightened a little to reveal details):

Original (left), WarpSharp on high settings (right)

Noticeable in general adding to the blurry appearance but especially on thinner objects like wires and trees. When comparing to the pre-release screenshots there's a hint of it but since they're downsampled substantially the effect is minimized, bringing out the sharpness of the textures.

 

[Conkerkid11]

I didn't test it and will play more tomorrow, but Conkerkid11 reported improved control in-game.

Yeah, problem is that the in-game settings has a slider and toggle for everything related to your mouse but mouse smoothing, where there's no toggle, and only a slider from 0-100. I have no idea why turning it to 0 doesn't actually remove mouse smoothing, but it doesn't. Hopefully they add a toggle as well. Dunno why devs default to having it on for PC games. That and the game's sensitivity is incredibly low by default. Seems like those would be pretty easy things to get right.

Changing the cfg settings worked for me, but as I said, I still feel like there's mouse smoothing in the menus that can't be toggled anywhere.

just wait a week or 2 for an inevitable patch. but i hear ya

 

[KKRT00]

If you dont care about framerate and its consistency then yeah, consoles are a good choice.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

It's a shame since the first game was one of the best out there. I had an 8800GT at the time and it still ran perfectly other than a bit of stuttering for 2 seconds after loading. This one feels entirely awful on a GTX 970.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

What a clustefuck.

DOOM is a much better game in terms of optimization and it even runs perfectly on a hardware from 2013 with Vulkan.

Have you tried this suggested setting? For a 970/i7-4790 user it increased the FPS to a minimum 60. Would be good to have some more users test this.

 

[flipswitch]

I think I'm going to wait until they patch this up or improve it somewhat, because the micro stuttering is making me feel nauseous now.The actual game is very good if you can look past the technical issues.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Really no difference. 40 FPS outdoors, the stuttering is absolutely out of control, and dipped below 30.

Game is a mess, and we thought Mankind Divided was bad at launch. Jeez.

 

[DeathGlobe]

damn between not having that 144hz feel and the mouse jitter i dont feel like playing its just making everything feel slow

 

[Pop On Arrival]

same here. Are the people saying there will be a patch tomorrow on steam misinformed and confused about the PS4/XB1 patch?

 

[zXe]

How much space does the game use on the steam directory/library. is it really 60gb or is it less?

Awesome!

so the games fucked right now? i guess i'll just replay dishonored 1 in preparation i guess, is the DLC for dishonored 1 worth buying btw? its the dlc or tyranny which comes out in a few hours

 

[Ninjatogo]

I think most here will agree the DLC for the first game was really good. Given the focus on Delilah for this game, the DLC can give you some additional bits of her backstory. Go for it!

 

[lucebuce12]

Sorry if this has already been posted before but what's the VRAM usage like? I'm considering getting it for the PS4 but some gameplay footage makes it seem like my card (Nvidia 760 GTX 2 GB) can handle this at high-ish settings.

Of course I'd be playing it at 30 fps locked but that's what I'd be getting on the console version anyhow. Is it worth taking the plunge or is the VRAM usage something to take into account here?

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

so a wait and see deal?
well i havnt even played through D1 yet so ill do that while i wait for fixes (if any)

 

[Sinatar]

I really dislike this more realistic look they've gone for. Despite having much sharper textures and fancy shaders and the like, I think it actually looks worse then Dishonored 1.

That's not hazy nostalgia either, I just replayed D1 like 2 months ago.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Holy shit, framerate is hilariously bad even at 1080p, turning off graphical settings changes nothing, this is definitely not normal. GTX 980TI here, @ 1080p dropping to low 30 FPS INDOORS.

 

[robotrock]

Performance issues sound seriously whack. glad I didn't preorder this.

looking forward to reviews and PC performance patches

 

[Hooks]

Preload had day 1 patch in it and drivers for NV been out for a week and just released for AMD.

Oh wow that's disappointing

Exactly how I feel.

Performance-wise, I'm having flashbacks to Dark Messiah's notoriously bad release.
