Thanks, we both get a higher frametime with DSR though the increase seems to vary, no idea why. Not that frametime is particularly important in a turn based combat game

I limit the FPS to 60 as well don't need high FPS for a game like this.
With 3440 * 1440 DLSS Quality card doesn't even use 100W usually.

Will test it out later myself as well
I have VSYNC on in NVCP, off in game, GSYNC monitor. Just in case that makes a difference. Also I think I meant rotating not panning (Q,E).

Am I missing something with this game? So far it feels slow and clunky. Movement and camera is awkward at best. Combat feels frustrating and slow. Really want to enjoy this and I'm trying, however it seems to be fighting back so damn hard at every turn. Worst thing is I've already gone over the 2hr mark on Steam, refund is pretty much out the window at this point.
Also whats the deal with this stupid Necrotic aura ********?
I'm going to try and fight through a little more but I'm just struggling to understand the hype on this.
Also let me add this is a buggy mess at the minute too, I've had to restart the game on multiple occasions due to hud going funny, battle menu not showing on commencement of fight and inability to loot (can click on the item just dosnt bring up any menu).

Picked up gale on the beach area, found an old ruin and fell through a hole after knocking down a suspended stone. Gale gets knocked out, when I revive him he automatically gets this Necrotic aura and injures my whole party. Cant find a way to stop it and kinda makes the whole rectory fight near enough impossible. just decided juice wasnt worth the squeeze, reset to an older save and rodded off Gale.
I dont know if this is some stupid bug or just a terribly implemented game mechanic... either way poor show by devs

Its not the fastest of paced games. I've modded the camera more to my liking. As to your spoiler, never seen that but I used one of the 2 doors to get in
Not had anywhere near as many bugs as you've had and I've got 100 hours of a modded game. Possibly the dice are telling you this games isn't for you.

Yeah I know what you mean about the facial expressions. Experienced it too.
Performance is good in act 1, in act 2 at the npc main camp / building I noticed a lot of frame rate dropping or the camera would get stuck a lot and that would drop fps somehow.
yeah that aura is intentional but should disappear once he is revived. You can guess why this is happening a little further into act 1 as your relationship improves with Gale.
I run DLSS quality 4k GSYNC, Vsync on , borderless window, max settings. GPU maxes out at 100% in the act 2 npc camp area. It's odd because the gpu is running at 650 to 700MHz but my cpu is around 50%.

Ha guess that ship sailed!
I left him to be consumed by the portal, he was irritating anyway.
Ref the bugs I've been getting, I think the may be related to Alt-Tabbing. Dosnt seem to like it.

Maybe just not your sort of game? It happens, its a hugely well received game, probably a shoein for GOTY as it stands, broken records for the number of players in the genre, one of the highest review scoring games of all time, but that still doesnt mean its for everyone. I mean I know people who think that Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and even Band of Brothers are all rubbish. It happens

I run the games as borderless window mode and often mouse over to a different monitor. I also have to restart the game every few hours as the game RAM usage keeps increasing. Maybe the same underlying issue?

Bear in mind that this game has been hugely anticipated by a select population. It's a very specific game style, and it's all about the narrative especially given the first two games were 2D hand-drawn art with pretty shonky visuals by today's standards. You really had to suspend your disbelief, which is something we're not used to with today's AAA gaming circus. I guess that's why this game polarises opinions, because those used to the style of the series will make those concessions without thinking about it. I equate it to TW3 in some ways. Looks OK, fairly uninteractive world, but man.... The story.
Me, I spent two hours in character generation, just like the first two. I know I'm going to love it just from the Origin character back stories.
Question is, I'm on holiday in two weeks. Want to travel light but need a "just in case" device for work. So far it runs pretty badly on my Surface Pro 8 (Iris XE GPU) and the aspect ratio is all messed up. Do I take the Steam Deck as well?
Give it a chance. And you can always open case with steam to get a refund outside of the playtime windows, especially with a game of this scale. I've had success with that in the past (XCOM remake for example).

Oh for sure, this game is not my usual genre. I've always been "aware" of the originals, however it was never something that really piqued my interest as a youngster. I'm coming to this game with little emotional investment and no real preconceptions. I've just been looking for a decent RPG, and whilst fantasy isnt really my wheelhouse, the internet has been blown up by praise for this.
I've just kinda been a little surprised, its not a bad game by any means, just seems to me to be really clunky and at times quite unintuitive. Dont get me wrong I've sank some more time in and i'm starting to click with it a bit more. Starting to kinda understand the games mechanics a little better, but it still leaves me feeling a little overwhelmed at times. I'm trying to balance not missing anything and finding myself slightly out of my depth in some situations, I am enjoying the freedom to tackle sections in different ways.
My main gripe of the last few hours playing isnt so much a game problem, more of a me problem... Saving! Autosave is too infrequent, and I just havnt got into the habit of quicksaving nearly enough. I have lost out on 20-30minutes of playtime a few times now because I am barrelling into situations headfirst and having skill issues. I'll get there though.
I can see me playing this a fair bit over the coming weeks. Not sure if its the type of game I will see through to the end (Very few are though these days sadly, life keeps getting in the way...). We'll see though.
I've downloaded a WASD movement mod to see if it will make movement a little more intuitive for me.

Good to hear you're giving it a shot. My post might have seemed a little terse but I've never been someone who pushes a game onto someone if its just not the right game for them so I'm always fine with advising that game X is maybe just not for them. Doesnt make it a bad game of course, just means its not the one for them. Bit like me and MOBA games, millions of people love DoTA and League of Legends etc, I find them dire, so as I say, I'm just someone who doesnt push people into trying to force themselves to like something because I like it
Completed my first playthrough with around 78hrs clocked. Went for a relatively good aligned lockadin build, ran astarion respecced to assassin, shadowheart respecced to light cleric and zerker karlach (who is a monster hasted).
Overall a masterpiece and definitely in contention for the greatest RPG of this type of all time. Enjoyed it more than DOS2 and the pathfinder games for sure.
