For sure, no reason to take months to reach the Citadel when you can get there instantly, and no way you stand up to the Reapers when they can redeploy in days and it takes you a year.

Societal interconnectivty doesn't work in Andromeda like it does in the Milky Way, but further exploration isn't out of the question.

So I had been having issues with dropped frames with a 1080 ti on Ultra settings. The auto detection kept trying to drop me down to low. I followed some tips posted by another poster and changed all the texture settings to 4 in a profile file in the save folder in documents. Last night it ran like a dream so hopefully it's a permanent fix until better optimization comes through patches.

Where can I find these tips? I've been having similar problems with my 1070.

Conversations are super heavy on the hardware. I get 60 fps v-synced during normal gameplay, while in conversations it can go down to 30. In certain situations, with the windows of the Tempest showing complex spoilery objects behind the hexgrid effect even to 20 fps (all 3440x1440/2560x1440 on a Nvidia 1080). Wasn't the XBO the one that even switches down from 900p to 765p in such instances?

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
Since we're talking about colonialism I actually think ME:A was a decent portrayal of how it starts, at least how it largely did in North America. Nobody (or very few) in the initiative explicitly came to Andromeda to kill natives, but because of things entirely unrelated to relations with the Angarans you have people going out and settling new lands and encroaching on native territory which causes conflict (like in Kadara, with Roekaar brutalizing exile colonists) which creates hardliners and even as the colonial government genuinely wants to make nice with the natives (partly because they need the natives) there are Angarans asking questions like "Even if they're nice and cooperative, what happens a few years down the line as their numbers keep growing exponentially." Fortunately for the Angarans the Initiative didn't accidentally bring an apocalyptic death plague with them and also there isn't the religious dimension that there was IRL

People who think that a colonialism narrative needs to either be "noble savage" or "white devils" don't appreciate how complex the entire thing was and how it occurred relatively slowly over centuries.

"Nice" isn't the relevant factor. Equality of power and participation is. And equality is really bad in most difficult coordination and cooperation problems.

Angarans are very prolific and adaptable as well, not Krogan levels pre-genophage, but without the Scourge and Kett keeping them down, they'd be a force. And they're pretty big too.

They increased the survival rate of newborn to 4 %, which with their birth rate is pretty catastrophic already (it's 40 times that of the rate they had in the Milky Way). I hope they lay the whole thing to rest and simply handwave the whole thing to a longterm stable rate - I like the Krogan, but we neither need them a dying race nor the equivalent of the Zerg.

You're probably right, if so 4% of standard Krogan rate is a lot o' Krogans already.

My suspicion is that the game is using the CPU a lot more heavily than older games. I've got a decent CPU (i5 7500) and an older GPU (GTX 760) and have good framerates on high settings.

(I am getting a lot of crashes in conversations, though. It doesn't slow down, it just flat out crashes. Need to play with settings and figure out how to avoid that)

I have an i5 4690k oc'd to 4.5ghz, also my theory for your crashing is playing on anything above medium is gonna try to use more than that 2gb Vram you have.

Edit: Also I tried playing with my CPU overclocked to 4.5ghz and normalclocked to 3.9ghz and saw absolutely no difference at equal settings in Andromeda.

I'm not even 1/4 through the game but so far yes, she is the boringest. She makes up for it by being an absolute murder machine though, if you go to Havarl or some place with high enemy density just bring her and Drack and they will kill all those critters while you wander around looting crates.
