Dying Light - PC next gen zombie open world game?

TehBluebear · 8 Feb 2015 at 16:13

I'm on 2GB VRAM and 8GB RAM as Omakea has, and I've not had any memory issues at all, not even when I had the game running for a 5 hour straight period. Pagefile is at 8134MB.

I had a few issues that I pointed out earlier, but that seems to have been graphics related more than anything.

You using medium or high textures? i found high caused mass slowdown at start for me....so put to medium with all maxed except view distance around 60% now 60-100fps.

At the start they are a bit tough and as you progress they become more trivial. Pointing a gun at them at air drops for example will make them put their hands up and run away. But once you get a gun, its 1 head shot kills and its very easy to do. The bullets for the weapons cost pennies, so i always took a gun and zombie killing device with me.

And what settings are you playing on? My issues were fixed by shifting some settings to medium

just had another 2 good weapons vanish after looting the pawnshop in the gunslinger mission, there nowhere to be found. this is becoming a deal breaker for me.

Check the traders, they have enough to max out your ammo count for all 3 weapon types.

Just finished this. Total time played is nearly 26 hours and there were about six side quests left (they were all "Collect XXX herb from XXX")

Final boss bottle was disappointing

kmetek · 8 Feb 2015 at 21:32

bottle=battle?

Alex_6n2 · 8 Feb 2015 at 21:38

Hah, yes!

kmetek · 8 Feb 2015 at 21:44

hehe...which manager is latest?

System Managed so I'm guessing I've never messed with it. :cool:

Everything maxed except view distance, think textures are on medium because the setting doesn't effect texture quality only the distance they load in at.

That confirms my point then, as one fix to the issue is to drop textures to medium

Well the game certainly likes to make use of resources and I have no problem with this. I've been playing at 2560x1080 purley because it's pretty much a constant 60fps at max settings with everything whacked up and VSync enabled (with no mouse lag!) vs the 45~fps at 3440x1440 and with mouse lag.

I also can't see much visual difference. Maybe it's my monitor but there are no visible additions to jaggies.

Here's what i found at 2560x1080:

It's also using 3.5GB of VRAM on my 980 and maxing around 54% on the GPU core.

CPU core usage is not that high either, all 8 cores usage is distributed evenly:

As far as I'm concerned this game is optimised to make ample use of your resources. I reckon 6GB of VRAM is required for 60fps constant vsync on at my monitor's native res. A single card runs the game at 45fps so a bit more GPU power and 2 more GB of VRAM would be neat. Still, 2560x1080 in this game is flawless and everything maximum so I'm happy with that.

Went in to a fight in the museum with a brand new modified sword with just under 2k damage, come back out, get my gear back and its gone. Not impressed

LateX'Dog · 9 Feb 2015 at 08:13

I had my Draw Distance basically right near minimum and vsync off and motion blur off.

As i read that Draw Distance doesn't change anything and vsync lowers your frames dramatically (Which is what i found)
