Mordiceius posted:Hope you had a recent inn save! Bad news!  I just rolled with it, accepting that ol' Beef Supreme has hosed something up once again. He even warned me he was going to do it, loudly telling everyone what all living things' weakness is halfway through lol But yeah turns out the Wait command wears off and it will do it at the worst time. That's a really fun and good fight though. The Sphinx is so cool

RBA Starblade posted:Bad news! friend me on steam (sbjnctv) so I can experience Beef Supreme! also, even if you are mod-averse, I highly recommend this mod, which fixed a normal map compression error in the game. I can imagine Capcom issuing an update that fixes this, because it's so dumb and simple and makes everything look so much better: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/766?tab=description quote:This mod does 2 things. It forces the game to always load the highest quality normal maps, while also addressing a compression error on every texture.

BEEF SUPREME was my pawn first! But fine, you can take the mantle.

In the modding discord they're discovering the real reason the game runs like poo poo. Tldr: there's no LOD for NPCs, monsters, etc--they get loaded in from an insane radius at max detail all the time, even if they're miles away and you're in a cave      Lol, lmao

It's funny because this still makes killing every NPC to increase your FPS a valid tactic, just not for the reasons we thought

Man, I can't stop playing. I've done just about everything there is to do, minus a handful of quests, but it's just so fun to load up the game, pick a direction, and have have a ramble with the lads and see where the day takes us. Still eternally thirsty for WLC though. I've squeezed about all the enjoyment I could from the Captain America shield/punch style, so now I'm rolling with a crew of all archers, mostly so I can take revenge on the harpies that took so long to get into fist range. Warfarer with Tempest Shot, Augural Flare and Recovery Arrow is a nicely balanced setup, and you don't even need a mage anymore. I'm going to switch out Flare for Aromatic resurgence and see if it turns my archer pawns into machineguns.

The LOD thing is dumb but that doesn't seem likely to be the root cause of the shittiest examples of performance, since GPU hardly seems to make a difference. The fact that it gets super garbagey in the cities regardless of what you're looking at and quickly improves as you leave town doesn't seem like an LOD issue to me, it seems like what everyone was originally saying including the devs themselves: too many NPCs to simulate. I can attest that I upgraded to a 7800X3D with no GPU upgrade and gained like 25fps in the cities.

my speculation before was that the game is running some kind of weight-related physics simulation on various kinematic points for each actor, which is what enables stumbling over rocks, getting knocked over if you get whacked while walking on uneven terrain, pulling down large monsters if they're stumbling and enough weight is on a specific part of their body, etc. it allows for that very visceral feeling of movement, but that kind of fidelity is going to make any CPU chug like a steamboat when it's performing that calculation for 30+ NPCs every physics frame
