No PC performance thread?

 

[KodaRuss]

Sounds like The Division Beta is killing the Siege servers at the moment. Lots of reports of Siege servers at capacity right now.

Thanks Ubisoft.

 

[TheYanger]

Anyone play the alpha on Xbox and then play the beta? What's different this time around? Is more of the map open?

It's largely the same. If you go to the PDF they emailed everyone it actually lists the main changes, mostly bug fixes they didn't detail, but a few control swaps, etc. The dark zone being 1-7 and 8 for the beta is a nice change, it was a bloodbath for lowbies last time.

 

[Broadbandito]

How much is the difference?

Sharper image, smoother framerate, no tearing, doesn't feel as janky.

PC version is fucking fire too. Might be double dipping for this game

 

[tamaster92]

Question to PC users, how's performance so far?
Can I expect 60fps with everything maxed with a 980ti?

i have a 970 and with everything maxed at 1080p im getting 45-55 so a 980ti should be fine

 

[cackhyena]

Not even CLOSE to the amount of complexity and stuff to do in Destiny... and i'm not even a Destiny fan.

lol what?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Put everything i could on max
Also seems to be little to none GPU 2 load so SLI is prob not functioning its best.

 

[Eirulan]

I don't think you can expect 60fps at all times with everything maxed.
But it'll probably be 60 a lot.

Thanks for your answer.
What are the most taxing features (the ones to disable first)..?

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Anyone have a good guide to the darkzone? So confused at the moment.

 

[Dr Dogg]

I swear the guy who comes on the radio whilst you're in the Dark Zone is the VA for Garius in Mass Effect. I'm half expecting him to call me Shepard.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Amen.

It's a similar concept but a very different game. Honestly the depth of the RPG side of it makes it a better game IMO.

That and game reminds me how much more I enjoy TPS/Cover titles rather than 1st person these days

 

[Insane Metal]

Played for about 1h before coming to work and really really liked it. Graphics are amazing (PS4), couldn't see any jagged edges. Turned off CA and set the sharpness to 70%.

 

[spannicus]

Beta ran surprisingly well in 4k with all settings maxed. Not ubisoft 4k screenshot amazing, but looks ok. Was gonna get on PC and X1, now I am only getting it for PC. Hopefully the retail version will be full of things to do, and offer a ton of variety in attire. Wish the Riker enemies didnt all look the same. Should be worth the 34 bucks cdkeys is selling it for.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

What complexity did the Destiny Beta have? None. You're comparing the full Destiny to a Beta. Only complexity to Destiny is the raids.

Beta to Beta... i could also do Alpha to Alpha as i was part of both... Let's first start with enemy variety. I dont even have to mention the number of different races and creatures... models, strategies, weakpoints, enemy weapons, enemy vehicles... the amount of map variety... special public events... elemental damages... elemental resources... a resource based upgrade system... a vehicle... amount and variety of weapons... player customization... player movement augmentation... player special abilities of much greater impact... and simple game and gunplay. The degree to which your point of aim and overall tactics impact your effectiveness against a given enemy type in Destiny... well, that's light years ahead of what it is in the Division. Alpha... Beta... whatever.

 

[Conduit]

The Division OT - It's not Destiny.

Not bad.

Mine : The Division OT - If you feel lonely, go downtown

or The Division OT - Dean Martin - Let it Snow

Thanks for your answer.

during my tests on stream it was definitely Reflections, Shadow Quality and Object Detail + extra streaming distance.

 

[OléGunner]

So Darkzone is already being mobbed by campers eh?

I had a feeling this could be like GTA online with griefers lol

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Here's a simple guide from reddit on going rogue, is that what you're confused about?

 

[Crackbone]

lol what?

Yeah I'm failing to see this so much I'm commenting on the subject twice.

I have quite a few hours in Destiny, and while I think generally the FPS gunplay in Destiny is better, I can't for the life of me figure out how Destiny is more complex.

Maybe scripted PvE encounters? Although this is the full game were looking at, right guys?

Spoiler

SLI not working?

Edit: ah, you wrote that already
What are your GPUs`?

 

[Akiyama_AE]

After extracting stuff from the dark zone where do we have to go to get it ?

 

[MythicReclaimer]

I know it's an obvious thing to try but I felt the default 15% on the normal camera and aiming camera sensitivity were far too low which I changed to 50% on both and it made a huge difference for me on Xbox One as far as the game feeling responsive.

 

[Souless Squirrel]

I hate not being able to skip anything and the fact that the beta starts with a start up, tutorial and a cutscene that is all not skippable really annoyed me.

No crouching either kinda annoys me idk this game might not be for me i guess.

I thought the dude sounded so much like Jeremy Irons.

Thanks.

More confused about how to get keys for chests, how to get loot in general etc etc. Ran around with a friend for a while, did a couple of things but didn't really achieve anything. Just felt lost.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Game was a bit confusing and cluttered but overall great. I'll be playing a bit more today but it looked and ran great on ps4.

 

[Smash88]

Steam is finally live!

 

[danowat]

Grab loot, call evac, move to evac, get shot by camping groups, rinse, repeat.

At least that's how my games go

 

[TheCanisDirus]

lol what?

lol see above a few posts

 

[Galava]

I played a bit, and all I can say is that this game could be really good. Need to play a bit more to be sure.

Will wait for reviews though when it launches.

First thing I noticed was the PS4 did not tear the screen during the intro section. Im sure digital foundry will send out impressions soon.

I gotta try out the PC version next!

 

[Keasar]

Have anyone started to take comparison shots between the Manhattan gameplay trailer and how it looks right now in the PC version? Since the first mission is the very building in this trailer. I know that there are probably a big bunch of effects that are disabled but I can see right away that the stairs are a lot less decorated with fences and have moved the entrance to a tent tunnel.

 

[Tecnniqe]

980s

 

[Djin1979]

That looks fantastic!

The music is great too, very cool theme.

Thanks ^^

 

[SJRB]

Sheesh this game is fucking awesome. It's EXACTLY like I hoped it would be.

Also - the amount of clutter and stuff in the streets everywhere is super impressive, it's incredible how detailed everything is considering the size of the game.

 

[ASTROID2]

Yay steam is finally unpacking.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

When did it open for NA PS4? 9 est right?

 

[Philippo]

Whats it like for a purely single player experience, The setting appeals to me I just do not have the time to grind, or have enough online friends to play multiplayer on a regular basics. I struggled with leveling up on Battlefront.

I enjoyed Dying Light, or Borderlands for a purely single player experience (I know this is a Beta)

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

7 AM EST this morning.

LETS. DO THIS!

 

[MMaRsu]

Lol now my text is in spanish I def cant read that lol...

Can someone tell me how I can change it to english?

 

[danowat]

The Division OT - Destiny USA (I believe that's a mall in NY?)

 

[robertlebrone]

Can't wait to see how this bad boy looks on PC. I really had fun with the XB1 beta yesterday, but PC is where I'll be buying the game.

 

[idonteven]

loving the game ! 100% buying this at launch

so so so good

I'm interested to hear if it looks even remotely like that. Guessing not, but maybe?

 

[IvorB]

Game seems fun so far but, honestly, I think it looks pretty rough graphically on PS4.
