That makes sense. Still a bit of a shock.

Finally booted this up, and it works fine for me in the sense that the fps isn't all that jittery. However, my fans sure are doing some work.
I definitely haven't seen anything in this game that constitutes the stress it is putting on high-end rigs, so it is an odd curiosity.

Any CPU bottle necking issues with AMD as far as people can tell?
Its either PC or Xbox One for me and I have got an FX 8350 and R9 290.

damn near anything that isn't exactly what wittle manbaby wanted fuels the lack of respect gamers often show developers on forums
It was the year 2016. The year of the Great Game War.
When it ended, there were no gamers left. Some developers survived, but they developed games for themselves alone.
Some would say there was a sole victor, a man named Jack Thompson, who could be heard shouting from the top of a pile of indignant, Power Glove-wearing corpses, "I TOLD YOU THEY WERE LIKE THIS! I TOLD YOU!"

A $60 game was released in an unacceptable state. People have every right to complain. Doing so doesn't make you a manbaby.
I'd hold out for the first patch before committing to a version. I presume it'll address the exponentially longer load times when capping the game to 30fps, among other things.

you're right and so is IceCold, I didn't mean to make it seem like I was speaking about this instance in particular rather than just sort of generally. I feel like it's always worth noting how many assholes there are out there taking things too far, and how it just doesn't take much to drive some to irrational behavior, when talking about the lack of respect devs get on forums. Developers (and publishers and PR and other entities involved in the production and sale of a game) can only expect respect insofar as they give it, sure, but some behavior is just unjustifiable
Sad Affleck

I understand but I feel that nothing unjustifiable has been said so far. We all know that developers are under tremendous pressure from the publishers to meet their deadlines and that they work really hard. However there is no excuse for a game being released in such a state. Furthermore, the fact that the game launched with some sort of weird mouse acceleration that is tied to the framerate (!) makes me doubt that they even bothered to playtest the PC version before dumping it on Steam.
Believe!
I'm at least expecting a fix for the mouse sensitivity bug.

I wish but I played more than 2 hours and by "play", I mean I left the game on as I went outside and did things.
I tried refunding it. But Steam support are bots following if then statements that spit out the prompt "No."
There's a link to PC Gamer's performance guide in the OP, but it's a far cry from the articles that Nvidia occasionally publishes.

For anyone curious, the game seems to perform even worse in later areas. I've just now reached Chapter 5:
, and while previously my 4670k + 970 was getting anywhere between 30-70 fps depending on the scene (playable, but far from ideal), the first area of Chapter 5 sees my framerate drop to the low 20s (completely unacceptable). Think I'm gonna hold off on playing anymore until Arkane starts patching this.

Mission 5 is heavy on HW, but 6 and 7 run a lot better. YMMV
At least there's a potentially great game beneath that shitty performance, according to most who played it. It's potentially fixable. And it could've been much worse, it could've been Mafia III (poor port and poor game)
Harvey Smith dropped a release date for the patch... sort of
https://twitter.com/Harvey1966/status/797922248560517120
I'm hoping that if he says soonish that actually means patch is in the works and will be release in the next few days, not weeks.
Also, have some mercy for him: https://twitter.com/Harvey1966/status/797921284805931008

i tink it's best to just forget about this game all together for now if you're a diehard fan and just play something else while it gets fix'd (if you can't get refund)
There is no way I'm gonna play one of my all time favorite franchises for the first time a broken mess, but thats just me. I'm waiting. I'm good.

Yeah, sounds like around Wednesday-Thursday.
You are missing out.
Poor performance on my PC. 80 to 100 fps with high to ultra settings @1080p in the tutorial mission but only and heavily fluctuating 35-60 in the first playable part after the introduction cutscene depending which direction I'm looking at. First cutscene was also below 30 fps. Lowering settings doesn't help much and the same goes for adaptive resolution. For the given visuals it should perform way better. i5 4690k and GTX 1070, here.
I think I'm better off with playing something else, then, until they patched it. Too bad, was really excited but the constant drops and fluctuating is so annoying I can't find much joy.

Same here. I was so excited for MD before its release, but as more news came out the game sort of lost its luster for me. I still don't have any desire to play it. Maybe when it comes down drastically in price I'll give it a shot, if there isn't anything else I'd rather spend my money on.

Day 1 patch (was included in PC preload) already "fixed" it. It still has major issues from audio levels to audio cutting out randomly. Hell there are moments where you can hear NPC walking and/or talking only if you have NPC on your screen, look away and all audio NPC creates gets cut off.
Like;
?
Like, I understand most devs don't make 200K+ a year, and that most of them don't rock a 4-way sli Titan X Pascal, but what's up with that rather modest rig?
Anyway, then he has the audacity to say a HD7900/i5 4570 is enough for a "good time"? The same guy who said a GTX 1070 should have everything at Low to run it at 60fps on 1080p? Then what's he playing it on, 720p with the lowest settings at 20fps?
I won't forget Harvey Smith's amazing work on the first Deus Ex and Dishonored, but the way he's handled these performance complaints is terrible. Sometimes even downright insulting. It would be best if he just says standard stuff like "I'm sorry to hear that, we're working on a patch as we speak".
I wonder how it's running.
That 7900 surely isn't gonna do well is it? The best 7900 series card is the 7970 Ghz edition, aka the 280X. Which is just a tad above their min spec, which is the 7970. Unless 30 FPS is their target framerate across all platforms and they didn't design the game around 60 which means you essentially have to bruteforce 60 FPS out of it?

You can find it for €28,50. It's a great game for that price. Main story leaves a lot to be desired (great side quests though), but basically everything else is top-tier. Amazing visuals, soundtrack and level design.
If only without Square's fuckery and pressuring to cut the story in half, this would have been a 10/10 game for me.
Are the technical issues basically ironed out at this point?
Last time I checked, multi GPU is still in beta, DX12 performance is still not better than DX11.

Yeah, that's precisely what soured the game for me. I read so much about the cliffhanger/dissapointing ending that my enthusiasm for the game vanished. I also read some opinions of people who loved Human Revolution and felt very disappointed with Mankind Divided (but also of people loved both games). Also the setting is less "cyberpunkish" since it's set in Prague, which is an old city with low buildings, not in a cutting edge modern city of steel and glass skyscrapers.
So as not to go completely off-topic, it seems that Dishonored 2 is a much better sequel than Mankind Divided, technical issues aside.

I know, I defintiely want to play it sooner or later, despite this:

There's something weird about this game, something that never happened to me before with any other PC game, and i have hope that it has an easy solution.
It's not about bad performance due to low specs or the fact that this game "requieres a 3000$ PC".
This game is capable of maintain 60fps, but only in a few conditions...everything on ultra with a 980Ti/1080 if the character is motionless, the game runs at solid 60fps.
Once you move the character or the camera, the roller coaster starts, even if you look to an empty area, but if you don't move the camera or the character, even if you're looking an area with big graphic load, the game runs at 60fps.
This is...weird, that doesn't happened to me in any bad PC port before, even with Akham Knight, at least in that game if you stopped, the performance was tied on the graphic load that appeared on screen, this doesn't happen in Dishonored 2.

I will happily wait for the patch, I'm in no hurry and have plenty of other games to play. That said, I've done about 3-4hrs into already.

I don't really want to defend this but the 1070 on Very Low was out of context. The original tweet had someone already on very low settings getting 40 fps. Harvey agreed that it sounded too low for those settings (ie you should be getting 60). He didn't tell him to play on Very Low.
And after seeing his home rig it should be very obvious that he is not the guy who should be providing technical advice on what system for what settings.

No, I thought the same but then read it better. Harvey said "It should run at around 60 FPS on a GTX 1070, except in other more taxing parts". So it's not even supposed to be consistently 60 FPS.

Well, if you don't count DX12 performance (which is abysmally bad on absolutely every hardware that is available today), I'm getting 60 FPS (sometimes even 80s and above 100s) pretty much all the time with occasional dips to 47-48 FPS in some (and not that many) very demanding areas on Ultra 1440p + FXAA and DX11. Dishonored 2's performance is nowhere near as good even in 1080p on a similar harware like mine. And let's not forget that in Hitman you've huge and very detailed levels with a shit ton of people on them.
My specs just in case:
4790K @4.4 GHz
16GB RAM
ROG Strix 1070 OC

dx12 actually makes hitman perform worse? I'm playing at 1080p with a 1070 OC and 6600k@4.5ghz and I still get dips below 60 at makkaresh at the most intensive part. (dx12) havent tried 11 since I got the card, since it ran flawlessly on tomb raider
Gave in an bought the game even though the impressions haven't exactly been positive. As many have noted, the game runs at around 50-60 fps in the opening level.
i7 6700
16 gb DDR4
GTX 1070
SSD
1080p / Ultra
Some observations:
- The resolution defaults back to 1080p, even though I set it to 1440p using DSR
- Dynamic resolution seems to default back to 75% no matter what. Can't really tell it's working though.
- I saw some people saying the throne room tanked in terms of performance. It ran at a locked 60fps on my rig @Ultra. However, it did drop to like 50 fps at times during the intro cutscene with the clockwork soldiers.
- At least on my rig, performance seems to be exclusively tied to how far I can see. My guess is that this is probably tied to the shadow setting or view distance setting, but I've tried dropping them from ultra to high without result. Maybe I need to restart?

Played again tonight but put settings to very high except texture detail which is ultra also turned off AA.
Adaptive resolution at 75%
The games playable now and much smoother.

Any more performance will be great but this is much better
Should also mention I'm gaming with a controller so not affecte by the jitters.

Look how pathetic this shit is man, we pay 60$ for a game and we have to wait for it to get patched, im so pissed off
Im so tired of these releases where we have to fiddle with settings, edit inis and god knows what tools to squeeze a few fps, make a proper fucking pc port already

A lot worse. I'm getting like 38-42 FPS average on Ultra 1440p + FXAA and 60 FPS mark is almost unreachable if you think about it as an almost constant thing. I've seen 60 only in a very few places and like.... 15-20% of the time at best.
We are wrong, the port is great!
