The Evil Within PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
I got past the first area and it runs really close to 30fps now (it dips to 29 every couple of seconds but otherwise it's playable I guess - although, I've just been in indoor environments so far, maybe once I go outside again the framerate will get murdered again). The game doesn't seem to be GPU bound, changing the settings doesn't do anything, the average frametime remains identical really. Might be my CPU :/
Tried forcing it with every different combination including triple buffering. Seems smooth occasionally but it stutters quite a bit. FRAPS is always showing 60 fps.

They remove the bars by cropping the image. I posted a comparison a page back (post #539). Bit shit really.

I can't get the console commands to come up. I put the +com_allowconsole 1 in the steam launch settings for Evil Within, but nothing comes up when I hit the key.

Any hope of an option to adjust the FOV while aiming?

You're hitting the Insert key and not the ~ key right?
oh well, they dont bother me much in the videos, so im hoping they wont bother me much playing. This is one of those games I really dont want to wait for patches to play, I wanna play it later today

Turned down all the available options on my GTX 650 SC 2gb/i7 2600 and I'm getting sub-20 fps. Running windowed at 1600x900 aswell. Really want to play but its running like garbage. Now the game refuses to get past the Bethesda opener. I wish I could get a refund. This is terrible.
So far the stuttering, which is present even when I'm reaching 60fps, is pretty bad, to the point where I'm just playing at 30 (which is perfectly paced at least).
I wonder if the lack of a true full screen mode is the culprit. Maybe Aero off would give me screen tearing but more consistent frame pacing. I'll play around more when it's not so late.

I can imagine how Tango/Bethesda were reasoning behind this.
"The community will take care of the PC-version, don't worry".
Protip: don't give these people money.

780, 4670, 16 gigs ram all stock
used the fps unlock and "R_forceaspectratio 2". it zooms in the FOV a bunch, but the bars were driving me nuts and i found this to be an acceptable in between.
intro outside in the rain was dropping to 50 some and i was concerned, but since i got inside its been fine, 60 fps on the button with very few drops.
worth noting - when this game is booting up, if i press ANY button on my keyboard or mouse it crashes. took me a few minutes to figure out what was causing it...need to wait until i get to the main menu to click anything which brings me to my next question...can we delete the intro videos like shadow of mordor and have it boot right to the main menu? i have a small brain and cant figure it out myself.

Could be a driver thing, did you update them?
No idea then. The 650Ti SC should be more than capable of handling this game, correct?
I have the same card and was getting steady 60 FPS. Was hoping for 1440 maxed/60fps but doesn't seem like it at the moment.

i5 3570k
GTX 770 4GB
8GB RAM
1080p max with SMAA. Seems to hold 60 easily indoors, otherwise varies between mid 40s to 60 depending.
Seems like some tinkering may be in order.

This. I've played up to Chpt. 5 with a 4770k@4Ghz/GTX 780@1080p and on auto configure the game has been fine. A few performance drops in odd places here or there. But pretty good overall.

Anyone have any opinions on how the mouse aiming is? Hoping it's not super trash like RE4HD is. As long as it's serviceable I'm happy.

That's because you're missing the _ next to one
It's suppose to be +com_allowconsole 1_
Has anyone downsampled this game yet? When I down sample from 4k to 1080p the image is zoomed in to hell.
Not quite what I was expecting when they said you can remove the black bars on the PC version:
Omg lol

Looking at this thread, it seems people overreacted at recommended settings... AGAIN.

Seems the game isn't actually drawn under those bars then, which I guess would save a little performance. This is what I suspect 'The Order 1886' does.
I'm still curious though, does it downsize the selected "1920x1080" to fit the area between the black borders?

Figured out downsampling without the zooming screen
Here's some comparison shots
1080p No AA
4k downsample No AA

Seems it just changes the field of view so it chops a chunk off the sides of the image.
Basically it's going from ultra wide cinema style to 'regular' widescreen TV style. So it's losing a chunk of the fov. But it shouldn't need to. It should zoom out from the character a bit. Or they could just fucking get with the program and put in an FoV slider.
Job in Bethesda is already waiting for You.

The first two screenshots are the same though.

Setting the resolution to 1080p or higher zooms into the top left corner of the screen. Any ideas?
I absolutely adore the look of this game. They did an amazing job with id Tech 5 utilizing it in ways that I didn't expect. Really impressive. As a third person game it keeps the player from pressing their face up against the walls leaving the textures looking pretty good.
