Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour demo now on PC [Steam]
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
1440p. I didn't have time to mess around with it much.
Yup.
There's a bad ending, an infected ending, and a true ending.
Try to get into the basement.
I really wanna know what definitively triggers this, because I solved it this morning fairly quickly-ish without ever seeing the ghost girl at all.

O sh. Will try that thanks.
Just did a quick test with MSI Afterburner's statistics on and it seems that whenever these stutters happen the CPU usage on all four of the cores shoot up to 100%. Everything else is fine; temps are as they usually are (around 60c on the CPU, around 70-25c on GPU) and nothing else seems to be happening. Thankfully there's other people with the issue on the Steam forums but none of them have any clue what's causing it either.
Really strange; I just hope it doesn't continue on to the full game, though I will have a new PC by then (either downsizing or buying a gaming laptop).
FUCK THE BASEMENT
I'm convinced by this game, but I'm too stressed. The fun of horror games is conquering the fear.
By the way, 1440p everything maxed. 6700K and 980 Ti. Never dropped below 60 fps. Although I over around 60-70 during normal gameplay and a locked 144 fps during the VHS section?

You can get the basement key from the attic.
To get to the attic, get the fuse, which can be found through a secret compartment in the room you start in. Crouch and pull the handle in the fireplace.
Put it in the fuse box, then you can then go up the stairs to where the mannequins are and take it from there.

Yeah, did all that but the only thing resembling a basement is the same you see in the VHS but in the present day, the ladder is gone. Don't see anything else. Subtle hint ? Not the full thing, I still wanna find by myself
Uh... just look for a door/entrance that looks different to most of the others.

You missed a door. The first area you come out of, there is a door to the right there. Should be open for you after watching the tape.

You missed a VERY obvious door near the start point.

Lol... I actually saw it but since it didn't work the first time, I didn't bother again as I thought it'd be off limit for demo purpose. Anyway, here we go ! Thanks.
Another hint is that certain items will not appear until you've interacted with other things first
And protip if you can't get a stable 60fps on good hardware: Lock the framerate to 60 in-game, it defaults to variable I think. I would get drops when turning the camera. Also don't use HBAO.

Fuck this game... I don't wanna go to the basement guys. I'm so into it, ordinary I'm **never** scared for these type of games but it's the first time since Amnesia to make me feel like legit scared and opprosed.
Good luck

Finished.

Same problem.
Its seems to be a cpu issue with older phenom chips that have issues with SSE 4.1 support.
I hope a fix or patch comes out because without it I can't play the game.

did the walkthrough for the puzzle and it worked...thanks Dusk Golem
Anyone playing with mouse/keyboard finding the movement a little disconcerting? I can't put my finger on it, but it felt a little laggy/sluggish. I played the demo on consoles, and didn't notice anything of the sort, so I'm not sure. I don't usually have issues with FPSs, but something felt a bit off. Maybe I should try a controller on PC.

Keyboard/mouse seem fine to me. If anything, unlike other fps on pc, movement is super smooth on this versus other fps I've tried on pc. But yeah, try playing on controller instead. I tend to find with most fps on pc, when playing with controller, movements look/feel smoother than playing with keyobard/mouse.

Yeah I didn't like the way it felt with M&KB either.
Especially in the inventory.

No VR in the PC demo, AFAIK.

Yeah, just had a look today and you're right. I'm sure there was a couple of big games recently that had the same issue at launch, I think No Mans Sky was one but it got fixed pretty quick.

I noticed something was off as well. I thought it might be because the flashlight has a delayed movement. Like when you look around the flashlight is lagging behind which might make it seem like something is off. If its not that then I'm not sure what else it could be. I even have gsync monitor.
Yeah it semms that that its an issue with SSE 4.2 support as well.
I just remember the gold old days when you bought a pc game it was playable without needed a patch or a total redo.
I hope there is one because my CPU is maxed out and the only way to upgrade is a new pc.

I have Gsync as well.

Initial playthrough ('bad ending') really only has a couple. Very oppressive atmosphere tho.

Wait I see people talking about stuff that I havent't seen on my demo. Is this one of those demos where you can trigger different secret stuff? I think I should play it again.
Also, game runs like a charm on my config, 60fps 1080p with almost everything on max setting (R9 390, 4690k, 8gb ram). As expected from a Capcom PC game.

Has anyone come up with why, with HDR enabled and the proper hardware needed to use it, Televisions don't notify that they are running HDR video? I don't get it and other people here don't either.

Have they removed

I know it was in earlier versions of the PS4 demo

Once you go out of the 'backdoor' bad ending, use what you learned from the VHS tape before you watch the VHS tape.

Do we have any pro details? I hope they upgrade it significantly for vr and then again for pro
Would me nice to get those pc options but seems it will mostly look the same
