Question about Kelogg: Just tracked him down in Fort Whatever, he said his synths were standing down and "let's talk", but everyone attacked me once i entered the room. Did it bug out or will he always attack you? Had a run in with a bartender in Diamond City that also attacked me on sight during a quest he was related in, and i'm wondering if it's some large scale bug.

Corvega is the third quest the player can receive in the game, from the first questgiver they meet, and it really really should not have been. The layout is confusing, the raiders are much more well-equipped than the player, they have automatic defenses and mines, and sentry lookouts on the towers that are out of the range of a normal pistol/pipe pistol/shotgun. It's a fine area except for the dumb map, but where it's placed in the quest chain doesn't make any sense. Same thing with the Castle; with how crazy hard the boss fight at the end of it is, you'd think they would have tried to space it out more or at least warn you. edit: And really its placement on the map itself difficulty-wise doesn't gel with the areas around it. As you radiate further outward from Sanctuary, the game gets harder until you reach the glowing sea on the far corner of the map. But Corvega doesn't match up to that, it's much more difficult than all of the areas around it. It's just a weird difficulty bump that really should've been moved farther down the quest chain.

is there any way to eke more FPS out of the city areas? every review i read says something along the lines of "i'm unhappy with the performance but i was able to get a solid 60 with my first gen i7 and a gtx 960 apart from a few specific unoptimized areas' and here i am with a 290x where if i'm in any city area my fps drops to like 20 - heck even looking toward the city tanks it. wasteland perf isn't all roses either but it's more or less fine. turning down the shadows/godrays like everyone says didn't do much, the only thing that had a major effect was sliding AA down a notch. does this game just hate AMD cards?

my #1 cause of deaths is super mutant suiciders killing me mid-dialogue with companions pulling me aside to pour their heart out to me and it doesn't repeat on quickloads so i'm almost convinced this is actually on purpose because it has happened over a dozen times

Not that you care, but running at 2560x1600 on a GTX970 and I've had zero framerate issues at any point in time.

Did you try to lower your Shadow distance setting? Shadow distance is CPU, not gpu, dependent and lowering it to medium might fix your FPS issues in cityish areas.

Andrast posted:Did you try to lower your Shadow distance setting? Shadow detail + distance as well as godrays are at medium. Didn't make a huge difference. I'll try removing this sweetfx thing that I've got installed; been playing with it for most of my time with the game but I seem to remember it nibbling at my performance a bit. Digital_Jesus posted:Most games don't enjoy AMD lately unless AMD wants to pay them to optimize for their awful driver sets. They're also notoriously bad at AA. Yeah, ever since I got this card a couple years ago and heard the sheer amount of noise it makes I knew my next card would be nvidia. I've never seen the disparity be this pronounced though; I was playing arkham knight the other week and it runs almost perfectly at 1440p; a game with a literal nvidia logo at the start and with all the nvidia effects turned on. FO4 didn't even start until I updated to a beta driver! I think the recent point update to that driver (that I installed hoping it might give me a bit of extra perf in cities) might have sapped my framerate a bit as well.

Oh God looting the weapons off corpses gives you ~a full clip of ammo for that weapon. I've been hemorrhaging bullets and scrounging for like 30 hours, and then just after going through a synth area and looting every gun and throwing them back on the ground I ended up with 1500+ fusion cells. Also I ballistic weaved the Memory Den lady's dress up to like 110 armor or something so eat poo poo wasteland.

I'm running the game on a GTX980, 16gb of ram and a i7 3820 or something like that and I drop to 30fps in the city. This is with everything set to ultra at 1920x1080. I haven't dicked around with individual settings yet, but with the presets provided in the launcher I have to choose medium to not drop below 60fps. It's pretty much only the city too, everywhere else is 100+

Granted I boosted the loadcell paramater, everything was running fine on ultra before but shadows+extra loaded cells means performance plummets in towns.

It also revamps the interface so that the game will now display dialogue options in a list and use the number keys for input, instead of clustering all of them together and forcing you to use the arrow keys. Well holy poo poo. That's pretty incredible right there. (Thanks for making a version that works with controllers, too!)

Fun fact: The the shadow distance on medium is 3000 units. When you raise it to high this jumps to 14000. If you manually edit the shadowdistance settings in the falloutprefs.ini you can probably put it somewhere around 6000 and still have 60 FPS everywhere and still have double the shadow distance of medium. I have no idea why the jump between medium and high is that large.
