Well now knowing that

- holding the start button takes me to the map
- I can bring up the scanner in space and fly directly to planets
- adjusting controller look sensitivity to 100% and the look and aim V/H sensitivities to 20%

Have all improved the game for me.

What is this 'controller' you speak of?

 

[Drollic]

I've not no, card is completely stock. Was fine for 4 or 5 hours earlier, no issue what so ever. And not seen anything like that in any other game. All started after updating driver. Now it feels like it's baked in somehow. Just don't know what else to do now. Everything I try, even the things that don't make much sense isn't fixing. Been trying now since 7pm

It's common to only show up infrequently if it's borderline stable without artifacts. Had an Amd card years ago that couldn't run stock vram. Well worth a try.

Have you used that tool to completely uninstall GPU drivers and done fresh install of latest?

I've ticked the clean install from the nvidia driver each time when installing the new one. I'm guessing you're on about DDU?

I think Noxia means Nvcleanstal, which sometimes helps with driver issues.

I'm up for trying everything right now. Just rolling back to the previous driver I had installed.

Sofa gaming

 

[Heisenberg]

is the steam overlay FPS counter accurate or not

5800x3d and a 7900XT says I am getting avg 100fps on planet surface and avg 120fps indoors at 2k ultra settings, no upscaling and no FSR, set shadows only to high

vram useage is low..less than 7gig and system memory using about 15 gig (out of 32)

Exact same setup as me and seeing similar performance. Running like a dream though I’ve only played first hour or so.

Made it into space, but simply too tired to enjoy now. Tomorrow hopefully will be on it most the day however

I was messing around with one of those reshade profiles for this game someone made and it's crazy how bright the game is naturally.

Before

After

Before

After

probably still weird but atleats things are dark and not overly bright with weird glare smeared all over the screen
Save as whatever.ini and import it with reshade as a preset or just manually change the reshade values using only the options below.

Techniques=[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

[Curves.fx]
Contrast=0.650000
Formula=4
Mode=0

[FakeHDR.fx]
HDRPower=1.300000
radius1=0.793000
radius2=0.870000

[Levels.fx]

If you have HDR turned on in window sit might looked borked? IDK I have that setting turned off on my monitor

Sofa gaming

Ridiculous. Everyone knows that only consoles can be played from the sofa, it's the strongest reason to get one over a PC apparently. Controller exclusive to consoles for sofa gaming.

I'm about to lose it here. Underclocked vram and core by 500mhz, back on old driver i was using previously this afternoon, started new game..This is the bottom of the lift scene

WTF is going on guys???

You know what? I'm going to buck the trend in here, I'm genuinely really enjoying this, and I have had a very smooth experience so far. I just wish I could banish the damn robot to the ship.
I'm not sure where the fuss is being kicked up about it being "washed", yes under certain lighting conditions it can look a bit washed out, but others it can look utterly wonderful. Yes HDR would be very nice. However, generally I like the aesthetics of the game, I'd rather it be the way it is rather than over saturated. I'm sure it will shake out in coming patches, I'm sure day one patch when its released to the peasants will be huge.
I got a bit of a shock when I turned on performance metrics. I have everything turned up to max at 3440x1440. Thought it was performing great, only to find it averageing ~40-50fps, but strangely enough its the smoothest 40 fps I've every seen, it dosnt feel like that in any way, I dont know what trickery they are pulling but it feels like I'm running 120, bizarre!
Thankfully I'm not experiencing any graphical glitches with shadows or anything, just the odd NPC not interacting with the environment correctly.

I think one thing I have to mention is I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the constant barrage of sidequests at the moment, I feel like In the process of doing one side mission I unlock 2 or three more as I'm passing NPC's/overhearing convo's etc. I do have a habit of interacting with as many people as possible though, gotta be sure not to miss anything! I'm sure I will get used to it, but when you are trying to work out the fundamental mechanics of a game, the side quests feel like they are paced a little bit fast so early on, I've spent about 3 hours doing nothing but sidequests and almost forgot what I came to the planet for in the first place .

Have not tried the DLSS mod yet, might give it a look tomorrow, I just wanted to get on and play it this evening though.

The Twitter/Reddit boycott worked!

Reddit and other social media is incredibly far up its own ass about the power of whinging with a keyboard because you can live in these opinion bubbles with people that agree with you.

Everyone you know agrees, must be a good sample of everyone everywhere right

 

[mark43]

@steve45 Yeah, know exactly what you mean about side quests, I'm not far into it but every time I turn around I seem to grab another.

Have you tried it with other games? What about your monitor and it's cable? A different port of the GPU? That's a proper strange one.

Yup other games absolutely fine, tried different cable both hdmi and DP ( even though other games 100% fine.

13.5h in, not had any 'wow moments' yet but there will be, every Bethesda game has given me them. Not rushing anything, not going to burn out on side quests and activities, that will be for other playthroughs. Not investing any points in stealth! I feel this game suits the guns blazing approach more.

Nice tip regarding the map
