Nobody should be buying this. Microsoft need to be told that their business practices regarding "PC Gaming" aren't acceptable. You lot buying this are just as bad as the people who preorder games. Stop giving these people your money until they've earned it!!!

No point trying to tell these people that though... you might as well be banging your head against a brick wall!
 
Partial fix to my FS 1 fps issue. Start/close the game in windowed mode, once the game is all loaded up, alt+enter and full screen works as it should, have to keep dipping into windowed mode for any cut scenes however. Still not sure whats causing it, but besides this the game runs pretty well.

If we took that stance PC gaming would be dead as no one would buy anything.

I genuinely don't see what the issue is. I buy the game on WS, I have an account, as I have windows 10. The game downloaded and installed fine. I get asked to create a gamertag on my first launch of the game, it hasn't bothered me since. I know we all have quite a bit of mental anguish from the GFWL days but this genuinely seems painless, at this point its no better/worse then steam/origin/uplay.

So windows store means no sli/cf right?

What about gsync/freesync?

DX12 means its down to the developer to implement mgpu. Only on a single card so can't comment - if it helps though, the driver profile for the game shows no SLI bits in nvinspector.

Gsync works as intended in both full screen and windowed :)

My frame rates are 50-70 outside, 80-100 inside, stock 980Ti, 4770K @ 4.6ghz, 16GB 2400mhz DDR3 running at 2560x1440 with maximum settings.
 
Ryan Shrout " If my editorial from yesterday didn't get you interested in this discussion, then perhaps a new line of talking from Microsoft's Phil Spencer will do the job. During its spring presser, the company's gaming lead talked about a plan to merge the PC and Xbox gaming experiences with cross platform gaming, universal applications and compatibility for upgraded Xbox consoles. I found a great write up over at The Guardian that I will pick some of the quotes from and then offer up my views."

PCper Article, an interesting read, show how th PC Gaming is moving to be a Copy Past of Microsoft Console, basicaly PC gaming to a full STOP, crossplatform with a common denominator "xbox", so much for having a 2-3k$ rig to have the same as the 300$ one, and yey for DX12...
good bait by Microsoft free upgrade to Win10, ppl are losing more than they are getting sadly, i wish ppl would roll back to win7, instead of helping microsoft speeding up the process by giving them a chunk of unstall base to work with.

Do we get access to the other 3 games as well if we buy this? I'm tempted but I dont know if I can justify it TBH

No. The confusion lies with the UE on the xbone, iirc the pre-order for that gave you digital, xbone compatible copies of the 360 versions of Gow2 & 3. Never say never, but I think the next GoW title we'll see on the PC is the already confirmed GoW4.

Yes, I'm sure those with £300 consoles are going to enjoy 4k+, 144hz+, Christ they're lucky if they can enjoy native 1080 60hz.

Some screens I managed to take, highest settings, 4K dsr @ 1440p/144hz...

Not a bad looker for a 10 year old game, I do have the original on disc somewhere, though can't fire it up to compare as A. I no longer own an optical drive and B. Its still locked to the now defunct GFWL.

What tool are you using to measure the fps on a store exclusive?
 
^^Correct. No OSD and screen grab freaks out when you hit the hotkey.

To take a screen shot its back to the ol' print screen. Fortunately as soon as I hit it, it uploads it straight to my dropbox so I don't have to alt-tab out of the game to save the grab :)
