And still no RT that was advertised in all the pre release information and even from Nvidia themselves.
At this point I doubt it’ll ever happen. Game is already very heavy, RT would just go unused by over 80% of players anyway
Thank You! This game is so damn heavy, anything else will cripple it. RT ON: 5 fps
Games nowadays have been omitting bloom off options. I really despise bloom.
Bloom is important to create some realistic effects like night lights, neon sign boards, sunlight coming through windows etc but I agree some games over do this effect too much.
They can over do it all they want, just let me turn it off. Use to be in the menu, then bin files and now nowhere to be seen. I like to game to a clean image in screen.
Turn on HDR, problems solved.
Don’t have HDR on lcd-moniturd with crappy matte coating?
Buy Oled-TV! :=)
You’re making a lot of dumb assumptions but that’s ok. You know it all apparently. I hope you’re trolling. I don’t use HDR it’s garbage. But keep on trucking. I stand by what I said, OPTION TO TURN OFF BLOOM WOULD BE GREAT! I don’t know what that have to do with HDR.
I’m not arguing against your desire turn of bloom. I offer a solution which removes the artificial bloom, since
bloom on non-hdr display is a cheap mimic effect to imitate real life, which is hdr, since the star above us shines with some millions cd/m².
Bloom on non-hdr mostly always looks bad and unrealistic, while the bloom with hdr looks more natural and good.
Hdr is garbage for you? Well different tastes 😉
The game looks great in hdr and more realistic.
Maybe those works for the new game too ? steamcommunity(.)com/app/752590/discussions/0/1648792158832023620/
HDR is only garbage when used on garbage screens, which is nearly every monitor, and when the devs don’t implement it properly. But even with improper HDR, it is literally always better than SDR when the display is capable of true HDR.
HDR in this game sucks because of auto exposure that blows out highlights and washes out the entire image.
They shouldnt omit, just give us the option to turn it off which I think most games do. But I also hate bloom. Turn it off almost 90% of the time.
No fsr support?
I guess I didn’t realize that bit-chute ,the video site with much less censorship, has a bad word in it and thus the * there lol Why the site owners didn’t catch that from the beginning is strange. transvestigations, gun event psyop analysis and other yt censored stuff there.
Uh this game is a good example of when tribesters make games with their pov, which is almost all we’ve ever got for 100 years now in all media including “news”. So the good guys are the ones that basically have all the trappings of occultism. Well if you like the way society is crumbling and degenerate then by all means you love occultism. The AC series another one, cp77 is rife with it and has an unstated trans focus, transhumanism is a form of trans obviously. Walking baphomet world.
Screen space shadows? Never heard of them
A little late as several others (myself included) have already finished the game, but optimizations are always welcome nonetheless.
I tried it again just to see the changes for myself, and there seems to be one change they made that I don’t like. It seems the resolution optimizer setting is ALWAYS ON. There are quality settings for it, but no option to disable it. I’m hoping that the “ultra quality” setting for this means the game runs at native resolution. If not, that’s a pretty disappointing move. I hope they clarify this in an update post. Also I haven’t really tested for performance thoroughly yet so I can’t really comment on it.
Beaten the game. Great game, but somewhat of a disappointing ending.
Agree. Very grim outcomes throughout the game. I would liked to have seen them achieve peace together in the end.
SPOILER:
they murdered 1/3 of Europe trying to keep the cause of it alive – having any other outcome to Hugo would’ve been disappointing.
In fact the whole plothole is that much of the people’s suffering could’ve been prevented by simply killing Hugo in the first game, no matter how much they tried to show that people kinda deserved it..
Why buy or play a game day one these days. You’ll get the superior experience 6 months down the line. Hell cyberpunk is still being patched…
Seems like it’s only platform-exclusives the likes of Horizon, GoW, Spider-Man, Ghosts of Tsushima, etc. that get released in a truly polished state nowadays. Virtually every cross-platform game has issues and is worth waiting at least 2 months, until the most essential patches are rolled out. One would hope that would temper the preorder and day-one craze, but gamers tend to be overly forgiving and ready to jump on the next hype train.
kinda agree, i just finished the game last week (and i didn’t rushed it or anything) and then today i see this news… yeah nice but most of us finished it already !
i went from 45 fps to 48 fps yess!
RTX 2080Ti in 1440p PC Master Race!
you are doing Gods work man 🙂
At least for you it went up. I lost performance by about 5%. Not sure WTF is going on.
No camera collision fix, the most annoying bug, constant stutter in closed spaces or near a wall or object.
I’m not playing the game because of this sh*t, and I doubt they are even aware of it or capable of fixing it.
Great games, both Innocence and Requiem.
No FSR 2.1 / 2.2 WTF !!!
Nvidia sponsored,, Nvidia pays them to not include FSR, classic move from them.
Some games sponzored by NVIDIA have FSR support. For example Cyberpunk. But is there any game sponzored by AMD which have DLSS support? Is it also classic move? 🙂
None that I know of, AMD are bigger b*tches in this gatekeeping aspect by far.
…Yet FSR works on all cards. Think before you comment.
They didn’t optimize sh*t, the game is horribly CPU bound on nearly every CPU in populated areas like the marketplace/town, the camera hitting into objects stutter is still an issue, something I’ve never seen in a game before, and the game still has awful auto brightness exposure which ruins HDR and highlight detail.
It took them over 3 weeks to put out a useless udpate.
already finisced game in 20 hours !
they can’t wait a month to patch a game that finishes in 4-5 days and has no reason to be replayed
