Earth Defense Force 4.1 coming to PC via Steam on July 18

Quoting a user named Kite on Steam forums. That looks like proper downsampling to me.
Kite said:I think I understand why 4k is not working for some people. My desktop is at 4k, however I turned on DSR 4x to get 8k resolution. I noticed I could set 8k in the game settings, however when I started the game it loaded at 4k. I got around this by setting my desktop resolution to 8k then the game would start up as 8k.
So If you're trying to downsample using DSR first set your desktop resolution to the resolution you want the game to play at and set that resolution in the game.
Here's a sample screenshot of 8k. Imgur downsampled it to 6k, however you will be able to see the details.
No mouse acceleration. Mouse and keyboard work great for the soldier guy. Haven't tried the other 2 classes yet.
Good, can't buy it right now, but I'll have it in my sights, thanks.
Interesting. So as a test I tried setting my desktop resolution to 4k and then it actually seemed to be working in game. So it's got that classic unity engine issue (though it's not unity) where it won't go past your desktop resolution.
played 10 missions as the wing diver and it was 60fps the entire time even with tons of particle/lighting effects, buildings getting destroyed and many enemies getting shot in multiple pieces while I hovered above them...
runs great and is buttery smooth so far
I'm using a controller but I tried Keyboard and Mouse and they are decent, though I would rather be more inclined to use them if they had some sliders for sensitivity and what not
specs are i7-6700k, 16gb ram, R9 390

Game runs great for me, not a lot of options to tweak but it runs smooth. M/KB feel great and are rebindable.
Tried 2 missions before work and very happy with the port so far, it's got a few quirks (related to what folks are saying) but it runs like a dream and I'm honestly surprised at how good the m/kb controls are so far, for soldier at least. The price on the UK store for anyone interested is £29.99 usually and £20.99 right now for the first week off. Honestly that's not a bad price at all, for comparisons sake it was just under £20 in the recent PSN sale.
Anyone tried online yet ? It work ok ?

EDF with stable framerate? BLASPHEMY!

Port is a little dodgy in a lot of minor areas -- the font is especially horrific -- but the important stuff seems perfectly acceptable. Framerate is excellent, practically a locked 60. After four hours of play (most of that online co-op) there's been no obvious, unexpected bugs. This is my first time with the .1 revision, and I have to say that moniker doesn't do the changes justice, at least on PC. The new lighting is especially nice, and filling out missions with more allies and enemies really amps up the action. Maybe performance will collapse later on, but the opening dozen or so missions on Hard are basically Forza-quality framerate.
My only complaints are existing issues with the root game. There really needed to be some sort of shooting range or at least visual footage of each weapon in action, I hate that online co-op skips cutscenes, and while it would have been very difficult with all of the people talking over each other I'm sad there's no real effort at subtitles. (The English voices are fun, but the Japanese voices have a distinct charm of their own too.) I also wish there was an easier way to jump start new classes. Maybe if unused classes got a small percentage of your armor pick-ups and a very rare weapon drop or something.
But this is an awesome game made even better. Easy to recommend!
Now just to figure out downsampling...

Hello!
...it's using Unity?! What's this issue you speak of?

Before I purchase this, does it have local co-op like the console versions?

According to the store page, it do.

Perfect, thanks, really good price as well. I saw the co-op tag and wasn't sure if it included local, but looking again there's a split-screen tag oops.
It's not using Unity as far as I am aware. What I was referring to as a "classic Unity issue" is an implementation problem where a game limits its internal rendering resolution to the desktop resolution for some reason. For such games, you need to downsample your desktop in order to downsample the game. (GeDoSaTo has a workaround for DX9 games)
Anyway, it's not a huge issue to change your desktop resolution, and at least this means you can downsample without problems!
So, would errybody with this game mind adding me on Steam for some Co-op fun later down the line?
It does indeed. I just recorded mission 1 using an xbox one controller for P1 and xbox 360 controller for P2. I'll post it here when it's done uploading. The video itself is nothing special, just to show it off

Cross-posting from the steam thread.
Yeah, I know, Phenom CPUs are pretty old nowadays. But well, just a heads up.
Ah, restarted the game and it seems to be working now.
I'm uploading a screenshot but it will take a while (23MB with 1Mbps connection).
PC local split screen footage, HD resolutions still uploading. Looks like you have either 2 controllers, or one person on mouse/keyboard and one person on controller should you desire that

Ended up cropping the bottom left part of the screen as I think this was the best spot for pixel counters.

Would this be worth a try if you're slumming it up with a GTX 750 or would the PS4 run it better?
You have to and you'll probably lose some when the mission is cleared.
Yea you gotta grab em. Classic EDF strat is to leave an enemy or 2 alive at the end while to you run around grabbing anything you missed.

Seems to be selling fairly well so far, hope it continues to climb.

:O Totally forgot this was in the SteamDB leak! I've never played EDF before (except for that other one that got a PC port that wasn't very good) but I've heard tons of good stuff about its multiplayer, is it fun as a single player game? Is the PC version getting an OT?
Yea it's a riot. It can be very compulsive trying to clear all the difficulties and accumulate all the insane weaponry.
It's kind of surreal seeing an Earth Defense Force game sitting at the #1 position on a Top Sellers list. There's some decent competition there too in the form of I Am Setsuna and RimWorld, although if No Man's Sky was actually out rather than in preorder I doubt EDF would have stood a chance at the top spot. It probably won't be there long but it's fun to see while it lasts.
Of course yeah. 4 player online or 2 player local split screen.

I'd love to get in some co-op action with some fellow GAFFERS

I have 100+ hours into the PS4 version (probably double that into 2017 on the 360), didn't think twice about grabbing this a little while ago when I saw that it was live on Steam. Can't wait to get home and play it, one of my very favorite series of all time. The self-aware goofiness in an MST3K-like environment mixed with legitimately fun coop has always been a huge draw for me. Amazingly underrated series (well, maybe except for Insect Armageddon).
Holy fucking shit this game is incredible.
Sold.
