Horizon Zero Dawn

[Techen]

I was going to order this until I saw high end computer hardware barely getting FPS over a PS4 which is a 7 year old console?!?? How is that even possible. Clearly the devs spent no time making performance acceptable.

I hope they change there act soon and put some effort in. Death stranding set the bar high and they share the same engine.

This keeps crashing, so I requested a refund, only for steam to say no refund as I am over the 14 days period because I pre ordered in June wtf

Sounds like the system made a mistake;

Played 4 hour so far, game runs fine, no stutters. Only changed textures/model detail to ultra, everything else on original. Play @ 1200p 60hz with v-sync on.

Also been good for me once the right settings have been dialled in. Avoid full screen mode is my main advice.

Overclocked 5700xt >70fps on average with 1440p on ultimate preset, vsync off but with freesync.

 

[McManicMan]

2560x1440 fullscreen, gsync 144hz, ultra settings, RTX2080super, intel 6800K, 16gig ram, runs perfect, no stutters, 75/85fps

Yeah, I have sent a refund request over twice and it's come back twice with the same response.

I deleted it and re-downloaded it.

Weirdly the original download was 67 GB but re-downloading it was over 70GB

Anyway, its working properly now, no more visual artifacts and it doesn't have the frame drops either.

I'm getting the odd glitch. Not re-downloading it though

Benching it here. Custom preset as per DF suggestions. Rig 3900x, B450 Tomahawk Max,32 gig 3600 ram, 1080ti and the game on a ssd. No overclocking on gpu or cpu. I'm getting 79 fps on 3440X1440P on a benchmark (several runs) Appears to run smooth and I'm not getting any hitches. Be nice to get nearer the 100 or more on my 144htz monitor, but I'm guessing freesync ultimate is doing its thing. Now find the time to play the damn thing. Too hot atm. Maybe 3am when it's cooler.

It took less than 10 mins

The problem is it's a console game. Sometimes having a m+k makes it too easy (unless you make hits really unforgiving turning it into twitch shooter).

I'll try both.

Following this up. Mouse and keyboard is more enjoyable.

Some weird texture loading issues on this.

i don’t think that’s the case, peeps are trying to smash 1440p/ultra wide with ultimate settings on and without the dynamic frame rate adjuster on imho.

the ps4 version is 4k/30fps with chequer boarding on.

 

[Ravenger]

I'm finding the combat way more enjoyable than most open world games I've played. It doesn't rely on lots of complex button combos or quick-time events, and doesn't use lots of different buttons, so it works really well on keyboard and mouse.

The bigger machines are tricky to take down, and require a tactical approach. Stealth works great for taking out lone enemies.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I'm not sure what I'd do without lure and stealth strike

I should try the mouse and keyboard, I bet headshots are easier!

It happens if you followed DF's advice and manually set at to x16 in the Nvidia control panel.

I’m doing that and can’t say I’m having issues...that I’m noticing.

Got it running quite well now, only time it becomes unplayable now is when it rains.

When it rains and if you're attacking a bandit camp = *poof* fps.

Yes, I noticed that with my first bandit camp. It was still playable, but it was noticeable.
