Ah, maybe that's it. Does it go a long way it you don't fly too high? My first instinct with it is to get on top of a local hill.

Yeah I went from tower to tower with it last night. When it starts going haywire just drop down a little and it starts up again.

You can't get over the huge hills though as-is, which made me wonder whether that ability would be unlocked later.
 
Looks like you only get the Nvidia Godrays using an Nvidia card, funnily enough (picture found via Neogaf)

Not looking as good as I think it could?

Folks, I'm not sure if it's just me or the way I've got my video settings but a lot of the time during the day in the game, the colours look kinda 'washed out' to me? As in lots of drab greens and autumnal browns, vegetation and scenery wise? No vivid+bright jungle colours? I can't say I noticed this until I updated to the latest Nvidia drivers but I might be wrong. Anyone else getting that impression of 'drabness'? I'll see if I can post some screenshots to illustrate it. Wooden building exteriors/interiors also look awfully drab and dull looking.

The other thing I'm sort of noticing is that the NPC's can sometimes look rather basic from far to middle distance. When up close (wandering around a friendly village for example) the NPC's look quite nice and detailed texture wise but when running around in the open and encountering enemies they look a bit rubbish?

I'm running all the settings at Ultra (not running the 'Nvidia' preset as it gave that black areas everywhere/screwed up colours problem) - I'm just on 'Custom' settings. Have AO set to the suggested values that people are saying fixes the black shadows problem. God Rays are off. I'm running it on an i7 [email protected], 16Gb Vengeance RAM with an Asus 760GTX O/C Edition all at a res of 1920x1080.

Flew to about 6 radio towers last night unlocking the map. Fell off one and died and was sent back to before I even unlocked the first one. Does not auto save when you unlock a tower. Terrible.
 
I preordered this with my nvidia code where do I download it from on uplay. I cant seem to find the download link. Do you need to download the uplay app for pc to download?

its perfect playing without DXTory running and recording plus the upload that gives it that appearance humbug. Honstely dude completely flawless with no stutter at all.

Its better, the larger portions of stutter are now gone, its now playable.

Thanks again. :)
 
no worries. I actually played for about 2 or 3 hours last night, did have a couple places where it stuttered, but 95% of the time stuck at 60fps solid with no stutter at all. Turning shadows to very high or high with SSAO and SMAA really helped me out.

I'm now actually wondering whether to have a go at setting GPUMaxBufferedFrames="1" as well. Just noticed this line in the xml. Might give it a go and see how it feels.
