Maybe but its definitely worth 15 bucks: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/...os_tile_index_2

edit: Huh it was 15 bucks looks like its 23 bucks now.

I have heard performance on lower end machines is rough. I play on the highest settings with a high-end PC and get a rock solid 100 FPS.

It definately runs like poo poo on lower end pcs, the lighting effects are far more advanced than you would ordinarily find it a multiplayer game. They also deliberately made it so you can't turn down most graphics settings so you can't get an unfair advantage by, for example, turning down the detail of bushes or something.

This video from earlier in the thread is a good watch

FWIW I have a GTX 970 and play on medium at 1080p and get 45-60fps most of the time, but some lighting conditions and some environments will drop it down as low as 30.

I've got a GTX 1060, run on low at 1080p and get... 45-60fps most of the time, occasionally dipping as low as 30. Occasionally. I can't really say anything about it except sometimes the game "loads wrong" and runs like poo poo, then I restart it and it runs fine. Sometimes the game runs fine until I look at one specific part of the map and it goes to poo poo for a few seconds.

Sometimes there are chunks of the textures just completely gone. This isn't a file thing, I've had it happen just after validating the cache.

People with somewhat similar machines can have wildly different experiences, but the game's getting better over time. The hiccups aren't the norm. I've put 170 hours into this dumb game and I know people with over 700.

Things are looking up...

I upgraded from a 980 to a 1080TI - and the differences are obviously staggering.

980 ran at 2560x1450 on low settings with everything tanked pretty decently - 40-60 fps in general. One could probably get a good deal more performance by lowering the resolution a bit - but I wasn't really fond of the way that looked on my big monitor.

1080TI runs at the same resolution with everything cranked at a buttery 60 (vsync). I could probably bump it to 4k and tweak some values to make it run as nicely. It's not even stressing the card at those levels.

I don't think the game is as abusive on the CPU end as some (Monster Hunter World is a good example of CPU intensive game).

It's in my blood
I went from i5 2500k at 4ghz + GTX 1080 and could play at low at around 35-45 fps at 1080p to i5 8600k + GTX 1080 and can hold steady 50-60fps at 1440p, maxed. So the game is also pretty CPU intensive I'd say, though my 2500k was pretty drat old at this point

AbsoluteLlama

By the power vested in me by random musings in tmt... I proclaim you guilty of crustophilia!
I think the game is both CPU + GPU intensive.

I have a 6700k + 1070. I run medium at 1080p (downscaled on 1440p monitor). I can get average about 80FPS but I lock it at 60FPS max because otherwise I get stuttering despite G-SYNC being activated. This is the only game that seems to stutter with G-SYNC. 1440p or high settings knocks my FPS down to ~45-55, which is unplayable imo, but I'm used to stuff like 144FPS in R6.

Worth checking out on Steam with the no questions asked refunds as long as you are under 2 hours of play time. The game only has 3 premade graphic settings, so its not possible to waste too much of your 2 hours fussing over settings, it will either run well enough or it wont.

Having now used I think every gun in the game (except the scoped Mosin) I can safely say that the worst gun is the Spectre. Seriously its so bad. It barely shoots faster than the Romero but costs like 150x as much and the damage is just dog poo poo.

Also jesus dear god make it so the aperature sights dont blur out everything not in the aperature. I can maybe see the reasoning for doing it on the Nitro but that already has enough disadvantages to it. The Winfield though, holy poo poo is that the mose useless poo poo.


*edit* I forgot the scoped Sharps which is also terrible




unrelated, Concertina is like the most useful item in the entire game

2 dudes with Butcher bounty went down to battle it out with the 2 guys banishing the Spider and my buddy blocked all the exits with concertina, forcing the survivors to use the elevator

My least favorite thing about this game is how it runs fine most of the time, but then sometimes, often during the first couple games of the day, you'll get little pauses and stutters that gently caress you over.

I'm glad I don't have to tweak the graphics to look poo poo in order to not be handicapped like some other pretty games, but drat I wish it would run more consistently.

Also all scopes are terrible with the exception of the deadeye Nagant.

Things are looking up...

A man and I faced off at about 20 yards.
I fumbled my melee and pulled out my flaregun...
He ran at me with a hatchet.
I popped the flare into his mouth and whipped out my sword!
Then.. I fumble and light attack him, pissing him off while sidestepping (and probably making him miss his melee swing)
So I turned around and did it again.
Felt like a matador taunting a flaming bull.

Of course, Nvidia doesn't record Borderless (by default - fixed now) so I don't have a clip.

Game 1: Widdie and a machete, partnered with someone that had an axe and a nagant precision.

I thought I heard someone with an Avtovat in the game, but it was so brief that I wrote it off. We caught a group of guys banishing a boss in the church basement. We blocked one exit off with wire, then tried to get a pick with dynamite.

It didn't work.

As the smoke was clearing, my partner ran in with his axe. I thought we were going to die for sure- but I followed, machete out.



I guess I did hear one.

Game 2: Caught doing the boss by a team with an Avto and a Crown King. Downed by a dynamite bundle I never heard ( those things are quiet as gently caress ), but I shaved a ton of health off one with my dying dynamite stick. Partner downed both. I walked into a beartrap and downed myself again, then we extracted.

Game 3: Caught out of position by two people with Avtovats. Died.

I have never seen so many of them in my loving life.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
Had a game where we were playing it low and slow. Two bounties on the map and the spider got taken early. We decide to hang towards the butcher instead unfortunately it starts getting banished before we can get to it.

gently caress it, I say as I look at the map and notice the people who took the spider bounty are on a straight line to intercept us, except they didn't know where we are.

A brief fight ensues, and I get a nice headshot on one and my partner takes out the other one with a shotgun blast. We steal the bounties and book.

As we are sprinting away, we take fire, my partner is hit but not down and we manage to take cover in a caravan chock full of health and ammo.

We return fire while my shotgun buddy flanks. Using our dark sight hunter vision when we can. I land a few shots on a guy and notice he disappears, healing I assume.

I charge him with my machete and swipe him down, I hear my partner shout "He's behind you" and I quickly get downed with a machete hit.

My partner shouts hes rushing him and just as I start spectating him I see him deal a critical blow, though he is heavily injured.

I yell "HIVE" as I hear the sounds of the screaming witch but its too late, my buddy has no ammo loaded and is out of stamina.

He dies to the hive. All four of us are dead, there is no one left to claim the bounties.

I love this game.

The most embarrassing death I ever had was when me and a partner got into a tough fight underneath Pitching. Multiple downs for me, one for him, but we took on multiple teams and won. It was a server wipe, but I was down to my last health bar.

Enemies defeated, we walked up the main ramp and CLANG! I stepped into a beartrap. I looked at my health, almost gone, draining fast. I looked at my partner, who stopped, and looked at me. I had enough time to say, "You've gotta be loving kidding" and then I bled out and died.

My 2 buddies were running as a duo and me as a solo, we synced up to the same game and ran as at trio

to set the stage: 1 of them was already dead and burned so he was just spectating. The other killed the spider while I ran overwatch. The 2 guys with the butcher bounty came up to fight him.

Dude, how do any of these cons you mentioned outweigh the pros of having two less guns pointed at you? Stray shots aside, you don't have to constantly worry that they're going to betray you and that's a real possibility when you negotiate with random hunters. So 1/4 of the time you get to split the bounties, you get the numbers advantage and you have the communication advantage.

I really flew off the handle there. It's all just fun and games. I enjoy spending thirty five minutes tromping through the Louisiana swamps to hunt the undead and demons only to end up like an escaped slave running for his life with three or four guys armed with lever actions taking shots at me.

I don't care, I'm usually solo anyway and just hunt monsters and clues for $ and xp.

When I do get a kill, sometimes I jump the gun and forget that not everyone is solo, and run in to loot too soon, giving the dead guy's partner a perfect head shot opportunity from about 20 feet away with his Sharps.

That definitely did not happen last night.
