Yes, it worked the first time I got the game running (game now locks PC up every time I try to start it)
Ok, so this are my frame rate and frame times. Sorry about the photo instead of printscreen, I needed to go to work and had no time to upload screenshots from the PC.
GTX 970, i7 2700k OG, 16GB system ram, SSD. Everything on max except AA (FXAA). Frame rate unlocked and v-sync off.

Really? 50% of the probably 500,000 + copies (given the cuncurrent users right now) users can;t launch the game? 250,000 people can;t launch the game according to you?
Thanks for the advice. Here are the results:
1.Game default settings :Borderless 1080P,V-Sync OFF,FXAA,AF 4X,Texture Detail High,Shadown and Generation Detail Medium,MAX FPS 60.
In-game FPS:32-35
2.All high settings: Borderless 1440P,V-Sync OFF,SSAA 4X,AF 16X,Texture Detail High,Shadown and Generation Detail High,MAX FPS 60.
In-game FPS:33-35
If I can tweak it and it runs fine, then I couldn't care less if it's called a "shit port" or not. If I can play the game I want to play without frustration that's all I want...now if I can't tweak it to make it run well then that is a totally different story.

But he still got heavily involved in it & still caters to that crowd to this day, just with enough "distance" that it's not immediately obvious.
This seems to have fixed most of it for me.

If the game's basic functions like vsync and framepacing do not work correctly out of the box and require the paid user to tweak it THEMSELVES, then yes it is a fucking shit port. People paid for your product, and is asking for a working product out of the box irrational?
Delete save game option I hope

They should not have a PC. A console would better suit them, honestly.
I'll hold final PC judgement in a week or so when hopefully they've thrown out a small patch to fix some of these problems. If not, I'm going to have to refund and just keep playing the PS4 version.

MSI 980ti

I play all games on my PC via borderless windowed, only setting I'm not willing to change - I tried all the other settings and it has massive frame drops all the way down to a complete stalled 1 fps at times. Played just under an hour.

You are aware this is the PC Performance thread? Right?
My framerate has been pretty good on a 1070 
The odd stutter here and there but thats to be expected with a generating game right? It hasn't taken away from the experience for me at least but I'm I'm not that delicate when it comes to framerate.
The UI and what not feels very "porty" though.

Yep. Game looks like a mess, but TB whining is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

This is happening to me as well. Were you able to get past it?

The Geforce driver can do most of the normal stuff as well.
Nvidia Inspector is for advanced settings and tweaks.
AF and Vsync usually work better through the driver than the game.

At least the game is a short download.
Gonna redownload and see if game works from scratch, as it is the game locks PC every time I try to start it (after the very first time, when it ran but at poor fps)

No, PC gaming does not equal to tolerating things that doesn't work, PC gaming's strength is letting the user improving a product, not having to fix broken shit themselves.
Wait about 20 minutes and I'll tell you.

70% will probably refund shortly.

Did some quick searching and it's Visual Studio C++ redistributables.

What are you talking about? TotalBiscuit is totally fair and would never do that he said so himself:
You might want to try setting Max FPS to "MAX", not 30 or 60

This is a ridiculous answer.

So it can take allot of time for dev's with hundreds of people working on a game to fix things, this group of 5 people having to fix PS4 and PC bugs. Can we assume that patches will be slow and far in between?

Sean is tweeting some info. They pushed a small patch already. Also update your drivers.

Cheers dude.
So yeah, it stutters a lot at first, cleans up, but once you leave the planet or go over a large hill, the stutter starts up again for me. It also has that texture shimmer pop-in, but "Arkham level bad" is hilarious.
Was running it in 1440p, framerate unlocked on a G-Sync monitor, had the overlay on and the FPS had a low of 57 fps and when looking at the sky or flying in space, hit the low 90's. Mostly held above 60 and everything was maxed including AA. Specs:
i7 6700k @ 4.1Ghz
16GB DDR4
980ti Supercharged EVGA
installed on a Sata 3 SSD

Would really like to hear from someone with a less than stellar PC... Can't afford to upgrade just yet so I'm still on a FX 8350 and a GTX 760. Something tells me my rig, even with tweaks, won't cut it...

I agree. It's not irrational at all.
I disagree. There is tweaking to your liking and there is having to do workarounds to accommodate a broken fucking game.
This elitist attitude is bullshit. I've been building PC's for 20 years now and would never say something this daft.

That 18mb patch fixed it for me! I can now load the game!
heh. I have been pc gaming since the early 90's. I wonder what people today would say back then. lol. Some of the best PC games of all time required console commands and config tweaks to get the most out of it or enable people to play it the right way. Guess I just grew up in a different era.

Thanks for this, my game seems to have stopped stuttering once I changed it from 60 to max.

Press and hold E on keyboard/X on controller
