Im reading a guide on some kind of poor man's DLSS for my 1660 super, where i can lower the resolution from 1920x1080 to 1600x900 and apply a sharpening filter on nvidia overlay to get all the fps with minimal graphical fidelity loss. I wanna try this out when I get home later. Anyone have experience with this? Does it work?

Just sooth yourself with the fact in a game like this it is going to primarily be a Numbers Check, not a Skill Check.

Hell, even something like Death stranding takes more effort in the tutorial on Normal compared to the lategame on Very Hard.

Sometimes you just have gently caress all to work with at the start of a videogame. This is reinforced when you go up an elevator on your way to your first cyberdock visit at level 2, get excited at the free sniper rifle you found, and see it requires you to be level 20 to shoot :v:

I was wondering this too

I trusted my "I bet these are mutually exclusive so I'll pick the harder one" instincts and picked the second option, which got me a Synapse fry or whatever quick hack. Basically Default Shock +1 (But lethal) It does not make this very clear that you GOT it, but it implies it with the cyber speak in the options.

I bet if you do the first option you get gently caress all except whatever that quest leads to not having it be an issue anymore. I left off right after getting that thing.

I will not be surprised if that thing ends up Plot Coupon Money In Name Only because that seems like how videogames you see people hyping up It is so great that you can't get enough money to buy more cool things! Respecs are expensive? hell yeah! before launch rolls.

I fixed my earlier save problems by verifying the game files, in case anybody else experienced crashing to desktop upong trying to load.

CP2077 has nice visuals but they aren't exactly setting my world on fire for the performance cost here. Interiors are very well-done but outdoor lighting has a tendency to look blown out and flat with RTX on.

Played about two and a half hours, just got to V's apartment.

On an i5-6400, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070 8GB, playing on the Ultra preset at 1920x1080, no Raytracing or DLSS; it looks pretty drat good and averaging around 40 FPS, feels very smooth though.

No crashes or major bugs, just a few visual things so far like no lip-synching on one NPC, Jackie walked through an elevator door before it opened and some lovely textures here and there.

Well, as buggy as the game may be (though I've had no hard crashes on my Series S), the final prologue mission was pretty great. It really felt like a proper heist, and I can only hope that the quality keeps up throughout at least some of the rest of the main plot.

There is a time-slowdown mechanic so probably, and even the giant bomb quick look showed some interesting hacking stuff, although a complaint I have seen is that the slowdown feels like it works very inconsistently and it can be frustrating.

I have watched some streams and I gotta say I'm not vibing with the game. The tone has problems and I haven't enjoyed this type of gameplay loop for a long time. Oh well.

The blurry visual garbage in this is Temporal Anti Aliasing. It doesn't appear in the menu and is forced on for PC.

if one goes into Cyberpunk 2077\r6\config\settings\platform\pc there is a JSON file where the option can be accessed around line 370, but switching "is_visible" to true won't show any options.

Replace the block with this one and it should be off, best I can tell.

code:
{ "name": "AntiAliasing", "display_name": "UI-Settings-Video-Advanced-AntiAliasing", "description": "LocKey#72353", "order": 13, "is_visible": false, "in_pre_game": true, "in_game": true, "update_policy": "immediately", "type": "string_list", "index": 0, "can_be_restored_to_default": true, "default_index": 0, "is_dynamic": false, "values": [ "Off" ], "display_values": [ "UI-Settings-Video-QualitySetting-Off" ] },

History Comes Inside!: Nov 20, 2004

The camera height in relation to all the street furniture makes me feel like I�m a little person running around. Sometimes I reflexively hit crouch just to make sure I�m not accidentally crouching already somehow.

So far it feels like open world Deus Ex, but IW rather than either of the more recent entries. Trading polish for the big world I guess.

Game looks fine on PS5, the only bugs I�ve seen are in menus where the cursor flicks over and obscures the setting you�re trying to change (specifically for the third person vehicle camera height) so you can�t see what you�re getting without backing out.

Also noticed that in some menus (most notably HDR settings) you have to use the analogue stick to move the cursor like a mouse rather than snapping around options with the dpad, with no real rhyme or reason.

DOUBLE CLICK HERE: Feb 5, 2005; WA3

Played about 6 hours, I think tomorrow I'll finally meet Dex. My style has come down to Swords and Nades.

Are there less or equal to 4 guys? Yolo with the weeb blade. More than 3 guys? Drop grenades like they're tictacs. I picked hard and I'll get got if I don't use cover, but other than it's been making me feel like I should have picked a higher difficulty.

It's getting to the point where I can count on two hands how many times I kill a guy and, even with his legs blown off and he's all rag-dolled, he'll still shout at me like he's in combat. I've had a head separated from its body, under a burning car, talk poo poo to me. Gave me heavy Monty Python and the Holy Grail vibes.

Other than, I've been enjoying myself other than being forced to clean my inventory after every other battle. Lip syncing issues notwithstanding and Fallout-y glitches like someone's AI just loving off.

The worst thing I suppose is that it's actually pretty difficult for me to get even a steady 60fps. Which is really a shame since I want more games/FPS's get running in beautiful 144Hz but alas.

If you have an nvidia card of the newer variety, use DLSS for sure. It should provide proper anti-aliasing like visual while actually giving a speed boost.

And within minutes of my last post I get my first crash, while doing a u-turn in the middle of the street.

To either the game or the PS5�s credit though because I�m not sure which is most responsible, I started the game back up and it loaded me straight back into the middle of said street and lost no progress.

Henron: Feb 19, 2010; Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose

For anyone else with a non AVX processor experiencing the crashes at key moments in each of the prologues there is a workaround that someone on the CDPR forums discovered:

quote:

I managed to get it to work by: loading the game, loading a previous auto save (the one right after meeting Jackie at the safehouse, if that makes a difference) then reloading the auto save where the montage cutscene starts. Then the crash doesn't happen.

I duplicated this three times by doing the above, but if I load the game and jump right to that cutscene it will still crash unless I do the above sequence first.

I haven't tested it to see how far I can get yet, so I don't know if this actually solves the problem for good, but it's progress at least. I can't test further because I need to go to bed, but I wanted to hop on here first to let everyone know in case it helps.

This worked for me on my Nomad lifepath but I don't believe you can get far enough into the game before crashing for either of the other lifepaths to have this trick be successful.

Pretty much. I'm doing that with my current playthrough as a corpo hacker with a knife on hard difficulty. Early game my quickhacks don't do a lot of damage and the RAM (mana pool essentially) takes a while to regen in combat so I haven't been getting a lot of kills with it. Instead I use it to soften or disable a target while I'm stabbing someone else in the face with a knife.

With the perks, new decks and higher quality quickhacks, the damage seems to increase substantially. You can also do fun things like set off grenades on people's belts and poo poo.

However, it doesn't seem like it works on everyone so you need to have a backup plan if they aren't enhanced or connected to the net.

I had that during the car chase. Luckily, the guys chasing also couldn't draw their guns. So basically nothing happened (though Jackie commented on a fight that totally didn't happen) and the mission somehow ended.

I also sometimes can't advance time...just says "currently not possible", but I find no rhyme or reason.

Just had the first BD scene/intro though, and wow, that's some cool stuff (minus the seizure inducing flashing thing)

Played a few more hours, got through the first main prologue mission.

Aside from woes on the base consoles (it should not have released on base consoles), I legitimately don�t really get where a lot of the vitriol the game is getting is coming from. Having a blast, seems like a very well done and immersive action RPG, and looks fantastic on Series X.

Handful of visual glitches and now pathing problems so far but nothing worse than typical Bethesda jank

its basically missing the magic step of DLSS which uses magic to fill in the pixels, it's simply just stretching them and then sharpening them, however this also works totally fine and more or less is what consoles - render at 900p. this isnt to say dont try it, and continue to watch "low end gaming" youtube channels. they'll really dig into INI settings and other stuff.

this is just not true, windows 10 is an improvement in every way that matters to Gamers including significantly smarter RAM & SSD usage.

Windows 10 is 5.5 years old it is incredible robust and complete at this point and has also stopped undergoing major changes. It's a piece of computer software - it has bugs and things individuals dont like.
