Handsome Ralph posted:Probably way behind, but I wanted to chime in that I'm running this game at high settings with a i5 2500k OC'd to 4.2ghz and a 970. It runs incredibly smooth and I've had no noticeable frame rate drops. Yep. i7-3770 and a 980 and the framerate is smooth as hell with no drops at all with everything maxed at 1080. No motion blur cause who dos that. Even with good specs all other FC games has lovely mouse acceleration that needed ini edits to fix, so they are definitely doing better with optimisation and PC tweaking.

Yeah the game runs really well on PC, haven't seen it dip below ~45fps yet on 1440p everything Ultra with a 980ti. Big departure from AC Origins which I had to refund. Probably one of the prettiest games money can buy.

I thought I had a great idea to have Dan the Rocket Man(rando RPG toting gun for hire) hang out in the eagle's nest with me and Grace while he was down below shotgunning mooks. I made a grave(  ) error in judgement when Dan immediately blew up one of the gravestones we were protecting so I put him in time out after that.

Tumble posted:They're projectile but they move realistically fast so they're pretty much hitscan until you're a few hundred meters away. No bullet penetration that I've seen so far, which is really starting to take me out of games a bit now. Let me shoot through thin walls for fucks sake! They spend so much time and effort making games look more real that they may as well make the guns behave somewhat more real as well. I had a bullet penetrate a man's head and strike another man's head, so it exists! e: How do I get Boomer in my loving pickup truck this is the least American game ever

Combat Pretzel posted:"Grace under Fire", that's some grade-A bullshit mission. Played it co-op on hard last night. There really aren't any good sight lines or cover. The enemies keep coming and the drat stone walls and tombstones block all but their heads. Which are hard to hit from the church roof. The AR with the scope they offer is garbage, on both single and burst fire. It took us about 4 or 5 tries. The last attempt both of us succumbed to the horde of flamethrowers. As we died I'm pretty sure I killed them with a daisy chain explosion. When we respawned we had beaten the mission.

Combat Pretzel posted:Yeah, seems you can't detonate them when they drop to the ground. You can buy sticky C4 in the store, it works for both proximity and remote detonated. Sticky dynamite and TNT are available too. I think pipe bombs are the only combat item you can't find or make, VIPs and better clothed radio mooks can drop special ammo.

It runs incredibly smooth and I've had no noticeable frame rate drops. It is really amazing that FC5 runs so smoothly and looks pretty good for a game not even close to 30 gb. The game feels like it has some mouse smoothing I can't deactivate and important sections of the UI scaled down too much compared to overly large and unimportant elements. Combat Pretzel posted:"Grace under Fire", that's some grade-A bullshit mission. I've beaten it twice, once solo with basic guns and multiple shovels, the other in coop with the suppressed semi auto DMR rifle. That mission is a piece of cake with suppressed weapons and/or frequent cover switching. Then you wait for a technical to show up, shoot up the occupants and gun everything down with the turret mount. So long as you break line of sight, enemies will walk into their own shovel filled future and the ones who don't walk, can catch shovel spears with their face. black.lion posted:My point stands, I'll make it seriously: Given that companions can pick out headshots at distance, that you can easily and conveniently tag enemies with wallhack highlights, and that killing enemies yourself without highlights isn't that difficult anyway...

Can someone tell me how to fish? I mean I get in real life where you pull against the fish and reel when they stop fighting...is it the same here? I did the bull trout side mission, and it seemed like the only time I got one without breaking the line it just loving took like 5 minutes of stupidity for $100. Is it always that way or is there an easier way to fish correctly? What are the mechanics? I tried like 5 times without any noticeable success.

They unfortunately totally dropped the ball on collection/progression mechanics in this game. From what I can see, all fish are worth the same regardless of weight (and maybe type) and nothing really incentivizes collection beyond a few of each type of animal and that's only if you want everything. Looking at most of the skills and playing through about 20 hours of the game, I'm having no issues and most skills don't feel like anything I want or need as opposed to previous games where I wanted to go out and hunt to min-max my build/lethality. It's the most disappointing part of the game to me in regards to mechanics.

If you're in a fishing spot a tutorial will come up and tell you what to do. You need to tire the fish out before you can pull them to shore. You do this by pulling the opposite way they are. When the fish is tired enough it'll flop onto shore, I've found it works best if you stand still and don't try to move.

I won't claim to be getting a constant 60 (I deliberately don't have frame counters cause I don't like to obsess over that stuff) but I definitely haven't noticed any stuttering or frame dipping at all. Like literally ever. To the point where I'm legitimately surprised and impressed. The fact that I never think about the frame rate while playing tells me a lot. Not sure what is happening with you, though. Weird drivers or running over 1080 would be my guess. I think the is the best optimized Ubi game I've ever played, or at least played in the past 10-15 years.

Dont move in a general sense, but after it gets within a couple feet of you its easiest to just walk to it.

My very first "random" encounter was seeing a cultist dragging a hostage up an almost vertical hillside and then rocketing at full speed into the sky when he reached the top of the hill. I was running around in the area trying to get somewhere and he and the hostage both splatted onto the ground in front of me 3 or 4 minutes later. Game rules.

Open world, most side missions and all the prepper bunkers are absolutely great so far (just about finished up the first district). Story missions are the worst things I've played in a long time. I wish I could turn off or just avoid them, but the loving things automatically trigger when you reach certain resistance levels. What an awful and fun game this is.

Had a "defend the prisoner/landing zone" mission last night, used the mortar a little but wasn't too impressed, but was bsting out one-shot-two-kills on the muderhobos charging acoss the bridge with the AR, so... also the stock (not sniper) AR seems to punch through trucks OK, and the .45 does seem to make hits through vehicles as we.. (Headshots best shots, though.) Went and blew up a silo, wwhich had a mounted .50 caliber MG in the road next to it. A wayboff across the main road, there was a cult outpost.  Fired off some RPGs to wake everyone up, then camped the .50 hosing both the outpost, and random vehicles driving down the road, for a few minutes. (Also the cougar that attacked my buddy right next to a gas can oops  .) The alarm was raised, but reinforcements didn't start until I started moving up to finish the job.At which time I went back to BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA on anything that moved. Some hired guns seem better than others - my bow-buddy is not only making high-angle long-range kills a ton, but is happy to swap to fire arrows randomly. Meanwhile, Rocket Dude, riding as a passenger when chasing the Widowmaker truck, is magdumping his MAC while I'm dead-even with the driver, for 20-30 seconds at a time, and can't loving kill him? Also saw a wandering trader using a laser sight at night to mostly miss a wolf stalking her. Non-gameplay stuff: something is hosed. Preordered PC Gold via Green Man, preloaded after activating via the links GMG emailed me, obviously played through the Resistance mission, but my goony prepper poo poo still isn't showing up. Re-activating the Pre-Order link just kicks an error that says it's expired, and to activate through my purchases page - which doesn't have functional links for the game or content. Ubi say I can try activating by entering my code - but GMG provided links to Uconnect or whatever, not actual codes.  Ticket open with GMG, who will likely point me at Ubi, who will probably turf it back.I just want my goddamn free candy van. (All my other poo poo is available from Gold, it's just the Doomsday Prepper orange snek skin junk that's still missing.)

I really, really wish my character could make Rex Colt-isms and would pay money for DLC just to hear Michael Biehn say things to the effect of "Can you dig it?" after impaling a cultist on a thrown shovel. Also the Omega armor is so stupid looking, it's great.

Me and Deakul's first trip into Faith's territory not only had hallucinations but extremely baffling vehicle physics where everytime I'd seemingly exit the vehicle, it'd get shoved sideways 40 feet and do wacky slides and spins. We quickly determined we were not ready for this area... ...Until a prepper's stash led us literally 20 feet into the territory again. The stash was in a haunted house.

Gonna try to mess with some stuff tonight to see if I can figure it out. My system is similar to yours (i5-4570 and 980ti) and I've been able to average 57fps in the benchmark on Ultra even on 1440p. This is with v-sync turned off. I've actually been quite impressed with how well it runs, was not expecting to frequently hit over 60fps at this resolution under load.

The game runs quite well on my i5-4670K and GTX 1060 but there are noticeable points in the open world where the game will drop to 50 or even 40 fps for a fraction of a second because it's presumably loading something. It's not that bad but it's kind of annoying, I hope they get around to fixing that.
