2500k, 60fps is a no?
Jk, thanks.
Idk I'm in the US on West Coast and it's still counting down to 2 hours. (9 pm here)I can't get around the "Content still encrypted" Steam message. I've deleted the appcache folder and restarted Steam.
GAF am I boned tonight?
Yeah thanks guys. I misread earlier in the thread thinking it released early everywhere like Aliens did last week. I guess it's just as well. My shirty download DSL is stuck at 50% even though I started it at 10aM. argh.

Nice to hear that 1.5GB VRAM card can run it decently. That a load off my chest.

If you're in the US and haven't used a VPN to run the game yet, that's because the content is actually still encrypted. The game unlocking early for the US was a mistake.
Outdoor areas like the dense forest etc will fluctuate between 30 and 60, but most indoor areas should be 60. Performance is pretty good on my 770 2b
A mistake i am thoroughly enjoying.
Does DSR work in this game? I am using mod drivers for SLI Titans and it's not working correctly. Instead of downsampling, the game is displaying the entire resolution so I can only see top left of the screen.
Also, I tried forced alternate rendering 2 and it seems to work for SLI, but I have only played the game for a few minutes.

oh man, that's a bummer.
My GF bought the game on PC as well, had it preloaded, and is playing this right now. We were trying to save bandwidth by only downloading it once, so I didn't preload until it was too late. If I grab her decrypted files hopefully I can get Steam to launch it.
Are there settings I can dial down to maintain 60 outdoors? I prefer a steady framerate over pretties. I'll be running at 1080p
You can use a VPN to decrypt the game.
Wanting to know this as well. I have a 6950 firmwared to a 6970 and it's holding up like a beast with the newest games

Skyzard says it's running fine.

Looks like the alarmism was overblown again. Other than a lack of advanced video options this port seems fine.
Looking at fire kills framerate.
Maybe they added the two values together?
Yep.

Yeah, 90% of the time it's a solid 60

I'm in the same boat.
So far I'm leaning towards PC (I have a 2GB 670).
Positives
- Cheaper
- More stable framerate (30fps minimum, 45+ unlocked, compared to 30 with frequent dips on PS4)
- Much better load times (A few seconds vs 10+ PS4)
Negative
- There are a few reports of crashes
- Not a lot of graphical settings options
Did I miss anything?
I played for an hour and a half with no crashes. Switched resolutions while streaming to twitch and alt-tabbing etc. Was stable for me - windows x64 sp1.
Sorry, mistype, my bad. Good to clarify.

Wait so it is unlocked?
You can lock it with console commands to 30 or 60.
R_swapinterval -1 in console (activated by insert) after adding +com_allowconsole 1 to launch options for the game in steam.
-1 for 60
-2 for 30

Wait, is this already out? Mine just says preload complete and gives me an encryption error when trying to play. Steam says it unlocks in 2 hours.
I think you've covered it all! I guess it's also whether or not you want a physical copy vs. digital, hard drive space and Kb/m vs. Controller preference.

60 fps works great for me. Now, if only I could get past the first
I guess all you "if it ain't virtually impossible, I'm not happy" survival horror people are in for a treat. Same for you "I want to see the same death animation at least 50 times in 20 minutes" folk (yes, drunk and frustrated).
hide & seek chainsaw section. I've died about 45 times and have progressed about 20 feet. His movements are not scripted, so you don't appear to be able to memorize the movements and thus cannot act accordingly. Fucking limp. I'm sure it will be a great game once I get past this dull, tedious, and seemingly impossible section that makes me not ever want to play the game again. The best part about it is that it's in the first 15 minutes of the game.
Sorry, I meant the game itself to play in the US.

Controls are great with m/kb. Good sensible bindings and mouse code feels great.
Nope. Couple more hours.

Character model's pretty damn good. The hair is surprisingly good when so many games get it wrong these days

Oh yeah, it's an id Tech 5 game so it will be a pretty hefty download.
Yeah it's mouse all the way.
Twitch shots to the head when they are super close.
ONE problem I did notice (other than texture popin) is my shotgun (preorder bonus) fired both bullets one after the other - I didn't press twice, I just had it held down. It fired way too fast, or are they both supposed to come out at the same time? But I thought you get 3 bullets... :S Might be to do with the 60fps setting, not sure.
Ah I see, apparently it was unlocked for a while in the US and then relocked...but here in UK it has been out for a few hours.

Go into the room. Behind the boxes on the left are a couple of glass bottles you can use to distract him with. It took me a few tries after I found them, but it wasn't too hard once I could lure him out into the corridor.

Wow the mouse acceleration is terrible, the FOV is killing me, and the aspect ratio is claustrophobic (some may say in a good way, but not me.) I may hold off on playing this until they fix the 60 FPS stuff. For me it seems to drop when I change the aspect ratio.
GTX 670, i5 4670K, 8GB Ram if interested.

Huh, had no problems at all with that part. Just wait until he turns around and you can get to the next safe stop without any problems.
his movements are scripted and it literally takes 1 minute to get through that room.
if this gets you stuck,I weep for you in the later parts of the game.

I'm wondering why the PC version doesn't have these settings listed in the options menu.

wow I had no issues at all with that, weird.

is there a tutorial on how to do this?

Yes, yes, you're all better than me. You probably have larger penises too. Leave me alone. I'll try again tomorrow.
I would be interested in this too if my shitty DSL didn't mean I'd end up not getting to play until after official unlock anyway.

I have the game preloaded already. is this a bann-able offense from Steam?

No. Only buying games through VPN gets you a ban.

JaseC helped me out in a PM, I asked him to treat me like I was 5 with step by step instructions xD
http://www.flyvpn.com/
- Download the client
- Run it as an administrator and input the info of one of the free accounts (the passwords change every 20 minutes or so, so if you get an error upon trying to log in, refresh the page)
- After logging in, connect to a Hong Kong, Asian or European server and wait for the FlyVPN client to report a successful connection
- Type "What's my IP" into Google to ensure it's changed
- Restart Steam and run the game
- Quit the game and then switch Steam to Offline Mode
- Kill the VPN and play the game in OM while you wait for it to unlock for the US
At the very least I got my unpacking out of the way which is taking nearly an hour alone.
I can't play yet but tried in my head and was able to do that part on my first try using only my massive penis to control Sebastian. Also I did it at a rock hard 60fps max settings cause my PC's massive penis wanted in on some of that action.
