Patch Notes and PC System Specs

Have you updated your video drivers lately?

There's a new AMD video driver out just a couple of days ago that I updated. Note that the driver I got was NON-WHQL and I'm running a newer vid card on Win 10.

If you do update, do a clean install and make a restore point in case you have to roll back the driver. (I usually do a backup before I install major programs, OS updates and some driver updates.) HTH

Exactly the same performance at all resolutions and all settings, except Ultra. CPU is bottlenecking my system but CPU is not at 100%, it is stucked at 60/70% usage :/. This problem is exactly the same that a lot of people had in the first weeks of BF1. I have seen a couple of videos and many CPUs got the same problem, are always at 60/70% but GPU is at 100%. I'm sure that an Rx 480 can move this game perfectly at medium/high settings (furthermore is the GPU that you put in recomended settings).

I will reserve some hours before buy the game to test Day 1 patch and if the performance doesn't improve I won't buy the game. I'm tired to buy bad ports and lose my afternoons finding solutions in forums. It's incredible that I can play GTA V, Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 at 2K 60fps with high settings, and this game can't hold 60fps at 720p...

The Radeon HD 7879 is roughly equivalent to the GTX 760, right? Or if not, which one is superior? I've looked but there doesn't seem to be a clear answer

Hi, according to this very useful website www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html, your GPU is about 15-20% better performing than mine, and RAM is the same (2GB) so overall the performance should be quite similar to what I'm getting. Maybe a bit better because I hear the game is optimized for NVIDIA.

Hi all! I created a post with this question before I noticed this thread! Sorry about that!

I am running the game on PC and am at or above all min PC requirements (I thing...I am a bit of derp about computers), except that I have 8GM RAM instead of 16. So, when playing the 10-hr trial , I was able to get smooth performance at MEDIUM setting, which is fine. The HIGH setting resulted in frame rate drops.

I would like to fiddle with the CUSTOM setting to try to squeeze a bit more texture detail out of this game if I can. However, I have no idea what all the options actually mean (ie, anti-aliasing, etc). Could you guys give me some pointers about stuff I could try to set to LOW, versus stuff I may be able to get away with setting on HIGH? Just looking for some general advice/pointers from folks who know what all those settings actually do and what tends to work well in these types of games.

Note - the reason i am asking is because when trying to fiddle with it myself, I have to restart every time and it really ate into my gameplay. I am hoping that when the game goes live, I can attempt to adjust these settings more efficiently based on your thoughts.

MANY THANKS!

Here are my specs if you need them:
OS: Windows 10
Model: Dell Inspiron 7559
Processor: Intel (R) Corm(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB
64-Bit
NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M

I can only get 1600x900 for game resolution even though window resolution is at 1920x1080. Is this a limitation of the trial, of not a fully completed download (I'm at roughly 60%) or of my graphics card?

Specs:
Windows 7
Intel Core i7-3770 at 3.40ghz
16GB RAM
GeForce GTX 770

I would appreciate some insight on the following. I'm normally a console gamer, but having recently upgraded to a PC, I'm wondering what would cause this trial of MEA to use almost 100% of my cpu thus not allowing me to play. It opened up in a black screen window instead of full screen.

I was, however, able to play if I hit alt+enter (to switch the window to full mode) and disabled my avg antivirus. It still used 100% of cpu until I got it in fullscreen mode. Then the game ran just fine. No CTDs or anything.

Why would it do this?

From the OP: Recommended System Requirements (Mine specs will be in the parenthesis)

OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (Windows 10)
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD FX-8350 (i7 6700K)
MEMORY: 16 GB RAM (16 GB RAM)
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB, AMD RX 480 4GB (Asus GeForce GTX Strix 980Ti)
HARD DRIVE: At least 55 GB of free space (200 GB Free, more if I delete some games I don't play)
DIRECTX: DirectX 11 (DirectX 12)

So, I'm over or at the recommended specs yet the game uses 100% cpu?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to decided whether to get it on PC or just go back to the simpler Xbox route for this game. Cause I need to be able to play it on Day 1. lol
