Mafia 3 PC performance thread

glad I decided to cancel my pre-order when I heard no review copies went out. Game looks like it should have been delayed
 
good god the graphics in Mafia 2 looks so much better than Mafia 3.

the textures looks like shit and the buildings a block away are just a blurred mess.

Yeah I preordered the game at least partially because I thought the graphics would be good... I mean Mafia 1 & 2 were killer looking games at their release, and I thought this would be too. But those screenshots plus 30FPS? Hell naw. I'll just stick with GTA5.

Also obviously hurts to see how the gameplay seems to play out. I mean Mafia 2 had shit gameplay too but at least it looked good.

Not to say I'm not interested in the story but I'm not paying $60 in this case. Refund requested...
 
It looks ugly tbh :(
Also there is either a huge amount of chromatic aberration or some really ugly filter on the screenshots, also they don't look like they are rendered on native resolution (they all have some brown/red tinge on them to the addition of the blurriness).

I had it preordered since a long time, but i won't bother downloading it. Gonna most likely refund it unless they fix the IQ and FPS lock until next week.
 
Omg the hylerbole in this thread. Get a grip guys, it looks fine, the post processing effects make it look like that and right now, you can't tun them off.
 
What the fuck? I wouldn't have bought this if I knew they would lock it to 30. Seriously, what in the hell?

Between this and FH3 I'm gonna lose it If it doesn't even run smoothly at 30.

Same man, this and Forza have me so frustrated I'm pissed! Gears will probably fucking suck too.

60s piss filter confirmed.

60s as in sixties, not as in 60 frames per second.
 
Dunno if you guys played Mafia 2, but that game also had this vaseline like filter on it. Disappointed it happened again. :(
 
Yeah this shit looks ugly. I don't understand how I'm getting frame drops with everything on high except shadow quality which is on medium.

970, i7 6700, 16gb RAM
 
This is all fairly disappointing, particularly the frame lock. Guess I'll hold off until I finish Witcher 3. Hopefully it'll be patched up by November.
 
Damn, i was watching some gameplay streaming and the game looks amazing 30 fps aside.

Is it utilizing FXAA? Any other options?

There was a talk about some post FX that cannot be disabled. I think that may be the cause of the blurry image. Someone with the game can elaborate more on this issue.

It's been a bad year. I'm waiting on Gears for sure even though I do want to play it.

With this and the Gravity Rush 2 delay I'm pretty much done for the year. What a bust.

Edit: just saw the tweet from above. Really hoping that they get the game in a better state shortly.
 
Refund I'm coming, I will not waste any time or money in a game from a company that just don't give a f*** about PC players !!!
 
I'm guessing it looks better in motion. I mean it has to right?

At times it looks quite nice, but has that smeared look constantly. Cutscenes look a lot better than gameplay. I know they are rendered in real time, but it's like they use different character models and renderer.

Also holy shit this RMB bug is annoying. I can't "ADS" with weapons because every time I click RMB game minimizes and makes right click on desktop.
 
Don't do this. Just change your password on the Steam client after logging off the phone client and that should boot all ghost sessions in your usual country. Start the VPN after changing pass.

You're a lifesaver bro, this worked for me, been trying for half an hour using my usual methods but this worked first try, should be in the OP!
 
So having come to terms with the whole 30FPS thing, is it at least prettier on its highest settings than the PS4 version?
 
The Telltale Batman game got similary bad reviews upon launch, but it's evened out now. Gotta wait and see if it sticks.

Telltale Batman also got a patch shortly after launch that smoothed things out a bit.

The acid test will be if the update patch actually does come soon (as in, within two weeks) or if they pull an Arkham Knight and take 3 months to release a patch that still doesn't fix everything.
 
FH3 ran amazing for them at 4k.... at first... And look what happened after that. Gafers feedback is a lot more accurate.

There have been a lot more reports on the PC version excelling (Karak, Ars Technica) and they've played the entire campaign.

Though I guess with Ultimate Edition bullshit people will get a chance to see regular user reports first anyway.
 
Omg the hylerbole in this thread. Get a grip guys, it looks fine, the post processing effects make it look like that and right now, you can't tun them off.

So it looks bad then, if the post processing effects turn it and cannot be turned off

how is that hyperbole
 
yeah, but if i knew that i would bought the game soon, not now.

industry shitting on consumers again..

Nah, sorry, if you pre-order a game based on nothing (they didn't promise you 60fps as far as i know) and are disappointed about something missing you expected to be here you really can only blame yourself.

Don't pre-order, folks.
