Patches, Bugs and PC Requirements

Fixed it. Thank you for the correction.

Stupid question, but is there an in-game FPS counter?

My crappy rig seems to be actually handling the game, for now. Not quite sure how well, but I haven't noticed anything besides the fans making  more noise than usual. (My previous rig self-destructed trying to run DAI, FWIW)

Yeah I though tI'd be OK running OK as I have a 2070 but then my CPU is only qan i7. So I suspec tm yCPU is bottlenecking me which is what's causin gm yissues with the game. Bee nhaving simila rissues with som o fm yothe rgames too tha tI bought this year. I had ignored i tup unti lnow as I'd been abl et ofind workarounds to stil manage t oge tthe games running smooth bu twit hVeilguard non eof them seem t obe working. Iam considering the idea of a nw ePC given m ycurren tsystem is no tWindows 11 friendly and th efac tWindows 10 is about t ogo out of servic next year. I'll be sa dt osee Windows 10 go as it's a decent OS despite the limited control end users have on it.

Yeah I'v ebeen enjoying it on Xbox bu ton m yPC it' srunning like crap. I thinkm yCPU is bottlenecking as whils tm y2070 is fine m yCPU is holdin git back. I am considreing getting a nwe PC thou hconsidering I d ohave the money.

Did you end up getting the game? I'm running it on a 2070 Super at 1440p and it's doing fine. At first I was running on default high settings and getting mostly between 50 and 70 fps. Then earlier today, I started spending more time in a certain forest, and saw my framerate drop below 30. Switching some settings to medium (two texture settings and ground decorations) fixed it, and it still looks good.

All that said, if I can gather up the funds for a GPU upgrade, I'm really tempted to do it. This is such a beautiful game that I want to see the settings ALL cranked up.

It is.  Thankfully it had been taking less than 20 seconds (apart from the very first time), but since I had so much headroom, I played with e Nvidia control panel and it ran it - almost - from the start again.  Not 5 minutes, but much, much longer than it had been taking.

Just passing through again to say if anyone has performance issues on lower end PCs, disabling Bloom took me from 'aw man should I buy a new graphics card, it's *playable* but jank' to 'yeehaw no lagging let's goo' so props to whoever tested PCs because I'm very pleasantly surprised. Good luck to everyone else, back to Treviso I go!

Apparently I've played for 11 hours, which I guess makes sense because yesterday and Friday I had some three to four hours of playing time each day, plus the two that I put in on THursday when it released. But it really doesn't feel like 11 hours. I guess because I'm not really that far intot he game it feels like I've only done two or three hours.

Nonetheless, I am really enjoying the game.going to play more today at some point.

I thought I'd share some benchmark results from before and after upgrading my PC, in case anyone has similar specs to me! Benchmark is taken from the first 10 minutes of the game.

Low preset graphics, 1080p, 60 Hz monitor:

Before PC upgrade: i7-4790k at 4.4 GHz (stock turbo), GTX 970
Average FPS: 37.6
Minimum FPS: 25.8

After PC upgrade: i7-4790k at 4.6 GHz (overclocked), GTX 1080 Ti
Average FPS: 54.5
Minimum FPS: 33.2

Pretty nice improvement for the average FPS!

Very good to know. My desktop is doing fine, but my laptop could use all the help it can get. I will try disabling bloom and see what happens.
