The game definitely feels a little bit smoother now.
Please release the DX12 patch already. I’m eager to test and play. lol
Lets not talk about that crazy woman. You think Halo collection, Forza and other Xbox games are next to come to PC?
She is not crazy. She is a beatiful woman and a powerful warrior! The game is one of the best action adventure games ever!
You are crazy too lol! She is a psychopathic massmurderer. Now lets talk about upcoming MS games! You think Halo collection is next or Forza ?
Iam the leader of the Foot Ninjas. Ia m not crazy. I only want to kill the turtles and Splinter! She kils bad people only. She dont kill with no reason. The next MS game will be Quatnum break and it is not a real MS game as it is developed by Remedy and MS only publishes it. After Quantnum break i beleive the next one wil be Gears of Wr 4
Almost all the Tomb Raider games are good, but Lara is definitely crazy and mostly heartless. From my perspective she is a psychopath who likes artefacts, like how a dragon collects shiny things she collects artefacts.
I dont think she is psyhopath. She collects articacts because she is a archeologist. This is her job.
Yea.. .that’s not how real archaeologists work and she has an obsession with artefacts enough so to shoot anyone over it. Play all the tomb raiders till underworld and you should clearly see her obsession, and she is cold hearted too.
The people who she kills are bad people. She is not a murdeder. Also till Unerworld it takes place in another universe that has another Lara. The current Lara from 2013+ is not the same Lara from the 1996 till Underworld. The events that happend in the universe of the old games has nothing to do with the Lara of the 2013 universe. It liki who i am in evry tv series. For example in the current Nickelodeon series i am aJapan master of nijitsu. I am bald and my face in burned. But in the previous series the 2003 series i was a alien a Utrom. Then in 1987 series i was again a ninja warrior but i was not bald or burnded.
I noticed that too but since no one seems to mind so I thought it was nothing. Did her father met an Asian woman during one of his travels? I don’t want to look any further into the new lore from outside(online) sources because I’m still playing the game and don’t want to inadvertently stumble into any spoilers.
because she is half japanese and half english.
Mircosoft is really desperate in trying to get people to jump into the Windows 10 World bandwagon if they are willing to share a new exclusive game that was supposed to be an X1 system seller with the PC crowd. At the moment I don’t we will be seeing any of the bigger, well-established exclusive coming to the PC any time soon. They are MS’s biggest money maker for their console so I don’t think cannibalizing their exclusivity is a good idea for now.
The games that do make to the PC are either old games like the Gear of Wars collection, free-to-play games or ones that have micro-transaction and new “exclusives” that they can afford to share(i.e they don’t think will sell as much as predicted) like Quantum Break. We could just look back at how Alan Wake and Rise of the Tomb Raider as X Box exclusive fared and we could see why they are willing to give the PC some love.
DX12 and Async Compute support baby, I want to see NVIDIA’s HyperQ at work in a driver update.
is there a mod yet? or denuvo completely disallow mods now?
Reshade Work…
Nobody is interested in modding this game.
Well some “performance improvements” as far as I noticed were… getting rid of Depth of field completely (is not working at all now and I have it maxed, rebooted the game, changed it back on and off and still doesn’t work), some grass and foliage resolution got worse in Geothermal Valley, and even some frame rate drops are a little bit worse than before mostly in the last map.
Played more than 42 hours already (95% completion and I’m in the last fire camp) and can tell if something is not working as it was before.
Yet as something positive to say, gained a little bit more frames in areas where frame rates were not an issue. If before I got around 70’s now I can be at 80’s. In caves around 100 or so FPS. (Asus Strix GTX970, using FXAA because SMAA and SSAA don’t make a big difference in this game but makes your frames go down, textures at high and shadows because of vRAM, the rest all maxed at 1920x1080p)
Siberia (have to check some specific areas), Geothermal Valley (turning down foliage resolution improved it a bit probably, frame rate seems more stable in areas where drops were more noticeable) and the last map (once you crossed the bridge, then go back to the beginning and see the frame rates going down to higher 30’s and up to 80’s…)…This game and those particular maps need some more tweaks for sure.
This is the second game this week alone that has received a graphical downgrade in a patch.
Dying Light has also done this. It seems to be to appease all the frame rate issues moans, lazy developers are just reducing the image quality to gain frames.
How else do you gain fps, by magic. It used to be called optimization not too long ago before the Watch Dogs controversy.
Are you that stupid?
Read it through I was talking about them downgrading the image quality.
How else do you gain fps on a game? I don’t know….by ACTUALLY optimizing it?
I REALLY can’t believe that there are people who are actually OK with unwanted graphics downgrades.
Techland already shut up the crybabies whining about “downgrading” once. Warming the color palette of the game and achieving a 30-to-40fps boost ? downgrade.
Rocket League also received some minor downgrade, but in that game graphics are not as important since gameplay is rock solid. But I noticed shaders, grass and LOD has decreased a bit.
That crazy woman looks evil in that picture.
Well, she was always semi-evil. So, I think its an accurate representation for once.
You’re crazier than her.
Shut up silly maggot.
Hey….Lara was missing your hatred comment…..and you forgot to like your own comment….LOL
She’s a stone cold killer in this game from what I’ve seen, which is better because I’m sick of games finger wagging for killing enemies.
Plus, it’s pretty hot.
So Denuvo lost…the game was cracked
It does not work.
No it wasn’t.
Soon dude. I’ve read that 3DM are close to cracking Denuvo!! Now what’s left is they do something with Win 10 because Microsoft has gone too far with their forcing. Have you read that Win 10 will be automatically install in your system if you have auto updates on? It is true. I can’t believe they went so far. Disgusting.
Free game on GOG guys, go check it out! 🙂
Good!
Haha, this is priceless!
“Weird Console Fans Upset About Quantum Break PC Announcement”
bit. ly/1TgxAik
Was getting a rock solid consistent 40fps at 4k with sli 980ti’s with the SLI profile hotfix. Will have to check if there is any change when I get home.
THE HELL? Im getting 40FPS on Single 980TI in 4K
THE FACE OF PURE EVIL, BURN IN HELL IN B*TCH!
still got a very bad drop frames and hope they kick out patch 3 🙁
