yes, every game I can I try to buy on Windows Store if possible, or even at GoG if the game isn't on the pc gamepass or similar, but that's how it isBummer no pc windows store. No epic.
The pricing on steam is so expensive
okay... watched more gameplay videos....
uh... this game looks like a modded Dragon's Dogma 1. i wonder what made this game much heavier to run.... way more physics calculations?
i mean... look at the geometry complexity for example. its very low, even the rocks are like PS3 games, including the low-res textures. some stuff like the grass destity does looks good tho.
Pretty much nobody goes into gaming programming without having a passion for gaming.I really think " performance last " mentality from other branches of programing craft is infiltrating games industry more and more.
Havn't watched any reviews or anything yet so excuse my lazy question. What are they using RT for in this and how does it run with it turned off?Just played it for a few hours. Download size about 60GB. There's no preload on Steam, but Steam's CDN is pretty good, no congestion on my side. Took less than 10 minutes to download.
Game is indeed not fast. I use a 7950X3D + 4090 set up, but still only gets about 60 FPS with everything max out. DLSS quality mode improves the FPS to ~80, but reducing the resolution further makes little difference. FPS is indeed lower when in town compared to in the wild, so looks likely the main culprit of lower performance is indeed the NPC logic.

im on steam, great performanceI'm a fan ...that said the performance is not great...
It's bad enought that i struggle to understand how it's not reflected in review score
And on steam it's the eact opposite (and too much)
Where is balance in this world ?
enabling some things, requiring going to the title screen to be able to change things. assuming you were changing things mid gameplay.There are some wierdness in the graph settings. For example, when I tried FSR3, ray tracing was grayed out, which makes no sense. Then I turned off FSR3 and tried dynamic resolution, then both FSR3 and DLSS were grayed out, which probably makes sense, but when I turned dynamic resolution off, FSR3 and DLSS were still grayed out. This makes me wonder what's actually enabled or disabled, because many settings do not really have much effects on frame rates. The settings now seem bugged and there's no way in game to reset it (even using the "reset settings" function do not enable them back). I probably have to resort to editing the config file manually.
Another intereting tibit is that this game does not seem to properly stick on cores with V3D cache by default. I tried to set affinity of the game process to the V3D cores but it does not seem to improve performance.

Also the npc and how the IA react.im on steam, great performance
GPU stuck at 99% usage.
there are some stutter when things happening for the 1st time tho. not sure its streaming issue or what. like for example in one cutscene, there's a new audio FX (just metal clanking), and it stutters. despite it was not showing anything that should stutter.

btw the game have ridiculously varied asset quality. everything sticks like sore thumbs.
Whoa! nice nature! treees!!! then... right beside that tree... low poly and low quality texture rocks...
nice lights and reflection! then reached a body of water... uh... that's a water?
One thing to watch out for though is the reload options - last save or last stay at inn. As you don't tend to stay at inns that often picking that option is a bad idea as it will erase your last save point and so you can, potentially, lose all your progress if your last inn stop was way before your last save.
No way in hell I'd pay $70 for this trash. Aside from abysmal performance many are seemingly unable to play it at all because of crashing. Game looks interesting though so I'll pick it up if they fix it.March 25, 2024
