You people and your games running badly probably never experienced running Doom in windowed mode at 720p on a dying 750ti. At 40 jerky FPS. And it was awesome get off my lawn.

(I'm confident it'll be fine at launch or very quickly afterwards.)

Despite getting amazing performance and not amazing but acceptable graphics with unreal engine 3 in the first Dishonored, Dishonored 2 uses the ~VOID~ engine which they made themselves based off of idTech 5. This new engine provides such benefits as ??? and markedly decreased performance using any graphics setting, low or high.

Runs brilliantly here, but I'm using a 1080 so it should. I thought the environment looked fantastic.

In the pc version, can FOV be changed?

Ah, FOV can be changed on PC via file editing and via slider with post launch patch.

prey pc fov + ultrawide support

arkane posted:

When the game launches the FOV can be adjusted via the game’s config file and Arkane will be adding a proper slider after launch. 21:9 ultra-wide support is supported at launch.

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Prey\game.cfg

Edit cl_hfov to be the value you want.

Arkane's co-founder and Dishonored 1/2 director, Harvey Smith, was one of the main designers of the original Deus Ex

I've been playing that game since around 2006 and didn't put it together. That certainly explains it.
Man, I would love a Deus Ex remaster in this engine.

I've only just started and set the FOV to be 100 using the .cfg file. (PC)

For some reason there is no such file in my folder. I've tried reinstalling, deleting saves, etc etc. There is a Profile and a SaveGames folder but no cfg.

That's weird. You could try setting the graphics detail settings to something different, then check again, maybe then it would generate the file?
Is your OS set to display hidden files? It's not hidden here though.

Try it! If it doesn't work out before 2 hours of play, you can refund from Steam.

It's not hidden. I even dropped another .cfg with the same name into the folder and it didn't overwrite anything. Maybe if i could use a copy of a game.cfg it would apply itself into the game but i dunno.

Worth mentioning that my graphics settings reset everytime i boot the game too. Controls are saved in a separate file.

Graphics setting reset, somethings jacked.

Cool. I'm really enjoying it. I've booked the day off work to kill ~~headcrabs~~ mimics, after sleep.

E- you can disable motion blur in the game.cfg file according to Reddit, but I don't mind the effect in this game at all.

Alright i think the problem here was that the .exe wasn't set to run as admin. This also prevented me from deleting saves ingame, as they would reapper next time i booted the game up.

So if anyone else is running into issues with missing configs or savefiles reappearing, just doublecheck the .exe.

Thanks for the update. If anyone else has the same problem please :justpost:

Not a direct answer but try glooing or stunning opponents as an opener. Both lead to bonus damage against enemies, saving you ammo. I have over 160 pistol rounds and 30 shells without making more than one set of shotgun ammo all game.

I also throw large objects at things a lot, so that helps too.

Also you can upgrade the guns themselves, and the security skills for weapons damage. You can 4 - shot a Nightmare with a shotgun that way.

I don't know if the crew quarters people every actually go there so you can talk to them, but there is a survivor hideout in the cargo bay.

I don't think they do go where you mention, I took a trip there right before the ending to check again, in case of any dialogue. Do they all end up on the shuttle if you take the evacuate option at the end?

I wonder if many people will just totally miss the ending sequence and final choice after the credits, and just assume the ending is super super short? I nearly did and would have been really let down if I hadn't waited.
Perhaps I should put that in the op.

I liked the ending, very neat, I guess it broke the 5th wall. And it could go into a sequel with a neat premise. Seeing how humans and Typhon interact with the hybrid Morgan (?) could be interesting.

I thought it was a very good game until I exited the station and floated around outside, then it became a really fantastic game.
It really ramps up after a few hours play, too.

I wonder if its up and running on VR yet. That would be a trip.
