Support NeoGAF

[JaseC]

Does it support 144hz?

Yes. It's capped at 144fps by default.

 

[Stevey]

144 seems to be the cap. My 1080 is able to push 115-144 fps at 1440p. You should be fine at 1080p.

Yes. It's capped at 144fps by default.

Sweet, thanks.
Will buy at the weekend.

How much of a performance impact are you guys getting with the 2 screen space options at full resolution?

 

[eero94]

First few minutes with maxed settings 1440p using GTX 1080.

Anybody tried to run this on the minimum specs? I've only got a 7850 so I'm curious over if I'd be better picking this up on PS4.

I've got the same as you, I'm confident we can run this fine, as others have mentioned, the game isn't loading very high-resolution textures, and it's mostly enclosed spaces.

Are you finnish? I saw press VAIHTO to sprint and I had to do a double take haha

 

[Paragon]

Did a little testing with the FOV option in the config file.
The maximum value is 120, and it's a true HFOV control - which is not ideal, since that means the height is cropped the wider you go.
I prefer a 74° VFOV in all games, which requires a 122° HFOV on a 24:10 display.

106° HFOV 16:9 (74° VFOV)

106° HFOV 24:10 (58° VFOV) - cropped image.

120° HFOV 24:10 (72° VFOV) - very slightly cropped image.

The viewmodel doesn't seem to scale with FOV at all, so the weapons are going to remain giant no matter what you set the FOV to - though the 24:10 aspect ratio helps a little.

First video of the game I've watched. It really does look like a sci-fi Dishonored, right down to the HUD aesthetics

 

[Arkanius]

My settings don't save and I can't start the game, says that there are no Users logged in and the game crashes

Wut?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

this may be stupid but is there xbox controller support? mine isn't being recognised as a controller.


nvm restart fixed it. Nope restart did not fix it.

Oh man, I hate the massive item models.

At least good that we're able to change the FOV itself.

Sounds like some sort of permissions issue. Does the game work if you right-click the executable and run it as an admin? It's tucked away under SteamApps\common\Prey\Binaries\Danielle\x64\Release.

Strange. The first picture here is the default FOV and the second is when I changed it to 90. Nothing's cropped. Unless it only crops super wide resolutions and not standard 16:9 ones.

So where can I VPN to unlock this thing?

No. Same thing.
Also my Profiles folder
C:\Users\André\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Prey\Profiles

Only has the default folder inside.

Perhaps the "é" is tripping up CryEngine. Some engines don't play nicely with special characters.

No harm, no foul.

Anyone running at 4K with a 1070? Still on the fence about whether or not to get it on PC or PS4 Pro. Hoping to get a steady 60fps with any settings on my 1070.

I wish it wasn't that, since there is no easy way to fix it without fucking my windows installation

60fps is pretty easy. 30 at 4K should be doable with a 1070.

Can you not make another admin account? Having to switch accounts just to play one game isn't ideal, but it's only a minor inconvenience.

 

[gdt]

Hmm, seems like a good port.......

4k may not be perfect but you're going to run it a hell of a lot better on 1070 than a PS4 Pro, since PS4 Pro is still locked at 30.

 

[Eusis]

Anyone with lower end GPUs? I am curious to see if it'd be fine on the 960m despite the requirements, but short of looking to see how Homefront did there's really nothing to go off of.

 

[Tecnniqe]

That it does.

Expected disaster, looked like disaster but turned out to be quite alright according to the peeps.

So alright I plunged and bought it myself

 

[d00d3n]

Anyone else getting a displaced mouse pointer when trying DSR resolutions? The mouse pointer UI element is in one position, but the effective point that you have to place over things you want to click on is invisible and displaced downward and to the right. I have no issues at all in my native resolution of 2560*1080, but DSR resolutions don't work. Maybe a 21:9 bug?

 

[Truant]

Hmm, seems like a good port.......

It's fantastic. My only gripe is that DSR (driver downscaling) doesn't seem to be working.

 

[Paragon]

Strange. The first picture here is the default FOV and the second is when I changed it to 90. Nothing's cropped. Unless it only crops super wide resolutions and not standard 16:9 ones.

Because it is an HFoV control rather than a VFoV control, the wider the display gets the more the height will be cropped.
90° HFoV:

4:3 display (1920x1440)

16:9 display (2560x1440)

24:10 display (3440x1440)

As the aspect ratio gets wider, the height is cut shorter.
If you keep the aspect ratio the same, you aren't going to see this.

With an HFoV control, you need to increase the FoV as the aspect ratio gets wider.
90° HFoV on a 4:3 display becomes 106° on a 16:9 display and 122° on a 24:10 display - but Prey's limit is 120°.

If the game used VFoV instead, you would just choose 74° VFoV and all three aspect ratios would provide the same height image - they'd just get wider.

 

[Tabasco]

I guess the review embargo lifts tomorrow?

Was hoping to pull the trigger after seeing a good consensus but oh well.

I might wait anyway just to play the PC version after improvement updates and whatnot.

There is no embargo. No one got review copies.

 

[NIN90]

Is the crosshair supposed to be not in the center of the screen but a little below?

 

[Tabasco]

There is no embargo. No one got review copies.

Any reason why?

That is pretty lame.

Bethesda policy. They don't do it for any games. Doom, Dishonored, etc

It's a shame that UW users have to trade vertical FOV for horizontal FOV, but hopefully Arkane patches in better control over the FOV at a later date. In the meantime I just hope that the sacrifice in vertical FOV won't impede me too badly.

 

[RedSwirl]

Shit I didn't even know this game ran on CryEngine.

 

[Pandora012]

That is pretty lame.

Bethesda has been doing this for awhile now.

PC Gamer - Prey on PC runs better than Dishonored 2, thank goodness

 

[Arkanius]

I managed to get the game working for me.
Created a config file manually from some other user config and managed to save my settings that way.

Thoughts:

Playing at 1440p with a 1080 Ti and everything maxed. So far, it runs at a locked 140 FPS
The port seems fantastic so far.

 

[SunBroDave]

Any reason why?

That is pretty lame.

Because early review copies are a risk in terms of pre-orders and day 1 sales. They're willing to trade potential positive review coverage to remove that risk.

 

[Stoze]

Quoting for visibility:

I threw together a quick video to demonstrate the stuttering that I'm seeing with the texture quality turned up: https://gfycat.com/CharmingCharmingBordercollie
No-one else is seeing this?

Anyone else?

Just shows you how good of a game it is if they can name it that even with all the issues it had.

 

[Eusis]

You could still consider a game as the best while it performs or looks bad (within reason.) Dark Souls had Blighttown but many of us still loved it more than other 2011 games.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

To be fair I thought it was one of the best games I've played in the last two years. I also didn't have technical issues weirdly.

 

[Mifec]

Played for 4h without any issues. Paragon is right doe mouse sensitivity being halved while sprinting is just bad.

To be fair I thought it was one of the best games I've played in the last two years.

You ain't wrong there.

[Regginator]

Any i5 4670K / R9 280X users out there reporting glad tidings?

 

[Chris R]

No issues at 1440p144hz? Good to hear... I'll have to grab this at some point then.

 

[Dmax3901]

Has the Day One patch hit yet?
