Ciaphas posted:I mean I'd like to find out but it's crashed three times in 30 minutes. A lot of people who PC couchgame do 50hz (since TVs support that refresh rate), it's a legit thing to do if you have ageing hardware & can't quite keep a consistent 60 frames per second in games. I ran MHW at 4k50 on my 1080ti for example. I don't know if it will help the game's actual animation issues though, I think if animations were tied to framerate you might have more luck trying 30hz since that's the source material.

Ciaphas posted:I just tried switching to Very Hard and found out about the lack of autoaim. You can do this on a gamepad without it? Hitting components seems like a nightmare! It's surprisingly good with mkb. I'd recommend it over controller unless couch bound. 2nd crash for me, again at the start of a cutscene. Hope it won't get more frequent. haldolium fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Aug 8, 2020 |

I've noticed a weird issue when using a non-standard resolution in borderless mode (Depending on your monitor. I've been using 1920x1440 or 1920x1200 because it's a decent compromise between 1080 and 1440 and somehow this raises the render resolution without stretching the screen.) My brightness suddenly gets overblown when I close the map, and it never goes away: The only way to fix it is to change the resolution to a standard size and then back. But then it still happens when I open and close the map. Annoying.

Just managed to play for 5 hours with no crashes with my lame PC. Followed this site for most of the suggestions https://www.ghostarrow.com/horizon-zero-dawn-pc-how-to-boost-fps-performance Game is not too pretty with the settings but I love the gameplay and story, so all good for me.

I've been playing on a Ryzen 5 3600, 16gb RAM and my old as fuuuuck GTX 960 while I wait for a new card. Obviously it looks pretty trash but it seems to run fine. I've had one crash in about 6-7 hrs of play, this game owns.

I'm now averaging mid 30s-mid 40s FPS, which tbh is what I get in MHW anyway at 1440p. Thanks to whoever suggested forcing stuff through Nvidia control panel, that's made a positive difference. In a gameplay level, this is exactly the kind of game I hoped it was going in fairly blind--I get some sort of weird modern Tomb Raider (specifically the thermal village in Rise)/Witcher 3 kinda vibe of the landscape, it's satisfying getting early one-shot stealth kills on Watchers and of the two or three side quests I've done all have given a fair enough reward and finding the guy with schizophrenia for his sister was a touching little vignette story.

The devs have already responded in typical "We're listening" manner, but this is also a flagship 1st party Sony game. They can't have something like this being a black mark on their new console launch window statistics when it comes time to get people who were introduced on the game on PC and move onto the sequel on PS5. We may wind up going down a Batman road here where nothing they try fixes it, but rest assured they will be trying at least!

I was doing okay, humming along at 45-55 FPS but a crash every hour or two for no discernible reason. Really annoying, but little to no stutter anywhere and certainly playable with Gsync. Then I got to the cutscene where Aloy talks with Neersa in All-Mother after recovering from the Proving. Crashed. Ok well whatever. Boot again, start the cutscence, get halfway through, annnnd crash. It kept crashing during this cutscene for some reason, and not even at one specific spot in it. Tried ISLC, finally made it through the cutscene. Whew great, that seemed to work. Make it out to the next big fight and... crash. Seems to be crashing every 5-15 minutes now. Well poo poo. Guess I have to wait for them to fix this nonsense before actually playing.

The Steam discussion board is a warzone, there is no talk about the actual game taking place there, it's only tech support questions, refund debates or troll threads. No moderation either.

I mean, this sort of thing happens literally all the time. The "we're listening" line is cool and all but do you think this was a total surprise? Enough AAA companies have released totally broken PC ports that there's probably a ton of data that just releasing the thing and promising to fix it eventually is a better financial move than delaying it until it's in a more stable state, especially because there's a chance people pull a Dark Souls / Nier and just fix the game for you

Gave it a try with an i7-8700k, 16gb ram, 1070 gtx paired with a 240hz 1080p monitor. I got it running nicely with the fps >=60 fps. No microstutter of any kind. Shader compilation seems to take about 15 minutes. Things done to get this: - Update gpu drivers - AF forced through driver - Use TF optimized recommended graphics settings - ISLC as recommended with 2048/4096 setting Considering the magnitude of power available compared to the ps4 gpu, this performance is still very much on the bad side. But its stable and fluid, no crashes. The default controls are almost perfect. Gonna probably move a few things about. Scan is too useful to put on that default keybind - feels odd to use. Also normal difficulty is probably too low for kb+m. May raise it later. The automatically activated aim assist is pretty aggressive, I pulled some stunts thanks o that. I may even opt out of the slowmo skills at first. But regardless its incredibly fun and looks great. Mindblast fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Aug 9, 2020 |

That would be the the power cell, in a side room while you're inside. However, you will get the chance to get it again later in the game , and the quest you need it for can't actually be completed until very close to the end of the game, anyway.

Anecdotal, but the ISLC trick appears to have significantly increased my performance once I set it to 2048/4096. Definitely worth trying for people having problems.

Technically you'll get locked out of the area temporarily, but you come back later in the story. The item is a collectible that, if you get five of them, you unlock something, but one of the ones you need is also locked behind a story mission, so you can't even get the unlock if you grab the item early because the story-gated one is AFTER you get access to that zone again

yeah on PS4 it was a nice little twist you CAN skip it on PC (not in a logical way though) ALT+F4 brings up a yes/no dialogue and hitting no shoots you past the intro to the menu.

Yeah this PC port is an advertisement for HZD 2, so this can and will decide whether or not people buy PS5's that's not even getting into the fact that it could've also been a test to see how well PS4 exclusives sell on PCs. With WB and Batman the video game division is not a thing WB is really known for but with Sony video games is like half their PR they kinda have to fix it or risk screwing up multiple ad pushes. Like imagine googling HZD because you saw HZD 2 and the 1st page is PC port turbo screwed everyone pissed.

Man, my performance isn't great on my old venerable 970 but it stays at a respectable 30-40 frames most of the time. Except I just went into the first Cauldron and goddamn something about that area is insanely performance draining. Weirdly not even the later parts where its open and has a lot of lights, it was an early dark uninteresting corridor that dropped me to like 10-15 fps until I got past it. Honestly I'm still not sure what it is that has people raving about this game. It seems like a decent enough map-marker-remover but nothing about it is really wowing me. It's... Fine. I find it kind of annoying that you have all these specialized weapons but you can only have four selected at a time. I guess with the ammo selection being in the same wheel it wasn't really reasonable to have an eight weapon selection, but it's still irritating. It means there are several weapons I probably don't use as much as I should because I can't be fucker to go into my menu and swap them around.

If the gameplay loop isn't hitting your buttons you can mainline the story and if you don't like the story or the gameplay by the time you finish Maker's End you can safely close the game and never think about it again.
