Nice. Might run in 1080p on my 555gt then.
Will buy when it's on sale on steam.

 

[ReverseFate]

I'm having a little problem with the game. While it runs perfectly fine, every time I launch the game, steam prompts me to install the msiexec. Regardless of whether I accept the install or not, the popup keeps coming up whenever I launch the game. It doesn't seem to disrupt gameplay by any means, but its still annoying nonetheless.

Is there a way to fix this?

 

[Phife Dawg]

FOV? FOV! Yes, sale confirmed.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Ok so I deleted steam, reinstalled everything, and IT WON'T WORK. Anybody here had a similar issue with Steam, cause I'm damning Gabe to hell. I could have bought the ps3 version, would have been hassle free but i'm stuck now with this. err msg: The Game is unavailable( Unspecified error.)

Thanks.

Make sure that for some stupid reason the game hasn't set itself to not allow auto updating via STEAM

If there is some download that is required to launch it and it's set to not allow downloading you can get that error message loop.

Not really true... there's an "Off" option if you keep checking the options inside the Anti-Aliasing field.

You're right. Well I'm an idiot.

I have the same issue. Thank God it's not game breaking.

I'm having trouble with my game settings resetting between game launches. This only happens when playing in offline mode, which I was planning on doing for a few days. Seems related to Steam Cloud. Anyone else seeing this?

Yup, happens to me as well and it's very annoying.

 

[diztrukted]

5850 here, will it play it?

Yeah, easily.

I managed to fix the problem. The msiexec installer is apparently tied to the version of PhysX that the game wants you to install, but it wouldn't install because your computer has a version of PhysX that is newer than this one.

What I did was to remove my newer version of PhysX, and installed the older version of PhysX that the game wants me to install. After that, the popup message no longer appears. Then I just re-downloaded the latest Nvidia driver and updated my PhysX back to the latest version, and now my game launches without any problem.

 

[epmode]

So I can't remember how to fix this:

Every time I launch dishonored, I get a Windows 7 UEC prompt asking me to allow Steam Client Service to run. Regardless of my choice, the game works fine. But it keeps asking! This is a problem for Big Picture Mode.

I've already tried deleting the Redist folder in the Dishonored path but it doesn't help so the offending files must be elsewhere. Any ideas?



edit: Fixed it.

My problem was that the game wanted to reinstall PhysX but I had a later version of Physx on my computer so the installer would return an error complete. Apparently, someone didn't bother to make it so that this error message counts as a successful installation (since there's no reason to revert to an older version of PhysX). I found this out by running the EXE files in the Redist folder one at a time and found the one with an error.

I fixed it by first uninstalling PhysX through the Programs and Features section of the Windows Control Panel, then launching Dishonored. I only hope the game allows me to install a later version of PhysX without freaking out again.

Thanks guys, but none of this worked. This is garbage, and Bethesda doesn't seem to be very helping also. I downloaded a demo just to see if it's steam or the game(Project Hell Yeah demo works perfectly), Seems it's the game working with Steam that seems to be the issue.I am out of ideas.

 

[derwalde]

am i the only one getting this "film grain" in dark spaces? is there a way to disable it?

 

[TimmiT]

I have the same GPU as the OP in my notebook, so awesome to hear that it works well on it.

Textures seem so low res, even on high.

 

[BigTnaples]

From this thread seems like a

3770k
69502GB flashed to 6970
16GB Ram

should handle this game maxed at 60fps? Or am I mistaken?

Can't wait, but alas I wont be getting this for a week maybe two.

 

[Salsa]

560ti 1gb
i5 2500k @ 3.3ghz

constant 60fps with everything maxed out. Noice. Will try downsampling for my second playthrough, should have the 670 again by then

 

[The Bookerman]

You're not on XP, are you?

nope

i5 2500k
Win 7
8gigs of ram.
Ge-force 560ti.

A lot of them are very stylized, but there are some lower-res ones.

I personally LOVE the art style.

Thanks. That worked.

4x MSAA with the AA bits 0x000000C1 does not work for me.

 

[SapientWolf]

How's this game with crossfire?

I have this:

CPU: i7 2600k 3.4Ghz
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 1600mhz
SSD: Corsair Force 3 240 GB & Intel 320 series 160 GB
GPU: Diamond HD 5970

And I'm hoping I can get 60+fps at 1080p on all max settings.



You can't. SGSSAA is an Nvidia-only feature. Sucks, I know... I'm hoping to get a 680 soon to get away from AMD.

That's a 5 terraflop GPU. Support is hit or miss though.

 

[Stahsky]

Textures seem so low res, even on high.

Yeah, a bit sad. At least the art style holds up well enough.

 

[TheExodu5]

So I'm forced to use SGSSAA since MSAA doesn't work. Framerate seems fine so far, but there's definite stutter as I load and enter new areas. Seems like a VRAM issue...surprising on a GTX 680.

Which AA flag?

 

[vazel]

I get it too. It doesn't even look like grain. It looks like digital noise. I hope someone figures out a way to remove it.

 

[Lostconfused]

The Bioshock bits work. But it's still a sizable performance hit.

 

[epmode]

Didn't they talk about how the PC version will have higher resolution textures than the console version? Are those textures in right now or will they be released as a separate download (like Skyrim)?

 

[paperspace]

[TheExodu5]

Not actually not sure if MSAA works at all since it's using deferred rendering, but you could try these bits:

0x000010C1
0x004040C1

Yeah, tried 10C1...no dice. Probably can't get MSAA working at all. Maybe disabling it might help my SGSSAA performance.

edit: disabling MSAA breaks SGSSAA.

The Bioshock bits work. But it's still a sizable performance hit.

The Bioshock bits don't work. They just kill performance.

DishonoredEngine.ini

weird. Forcing this through inspector:

and it works, but the whole game seems to have gotten way blurry. In-game AA methods are off.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

I wonder if they could implement TXAA in this?

 

[TheExodu5]

Make sure you set LOD bias to -1.0000

 

[SparkTR]

Would the SGSSAA be doing that? I just use SMAA, works fine and doesn't blur the image.

 

[Salsa]

ah shit, I forgot

thanks. Also another issue wich im not sure if its happening to everyone or not:

when the game goes letterbox during "cutscenes", its like the black bars are too small for the screen, as in, I can still see a bit of environment on top and bottom of the whole thing

as seen here:

 

[TheExodu5]

In the ini file:

[TextureStreaming]
PoolSize=512
MemoryMargin=64

Defaults are 160 and 20. Maybe this will fix the stuttering issue...Gonna test it out.

edit: nope

 

[Lostconfused]

Well I see less jaggies with it than without it. But it does kill performance so it's not a good solution.

[Salsa]

This is happening to me as well. I also have a pixel-thick vertical line in the left side of the screen which is "locked" on a previous frame. It changes everytime I press start.

yup. red line for me

 

[legacyzero]

Ok, what Inspector profile is everyone using? or is it just global??

Damn you guys. I wont be able to get to my BestBuy until this Friday. Will tweak and post results then.

 

[DocSeuss]

Is there any way to shrink the gun and hand sizes in the game?

This game is 2012's RAGE on a technical and artistic level - amazing, beautiful, cohesive world design that shouldn't be looked at too closely.

The textures may be low res, but they're nowhere near that low res.

 

[sp3000]

Yeah, the game looks so much like RAGE overall

 

[burgerdog]

DishonoredEngine.ini

bForceNoStartupMovies=true

This also gets rid of all the in-game loading screens which contain cool hints and backstory.

edit
Nevermind, derp. Changed the wrong line.
