unplayable for me can't get past the scene where they are pushing the car, just get a hang and final fantasy has stopped working error box, tried everything, defualt cpu clock, underclocking gpu, verifying files, re install. Nothing works. glad i didn't pre purchase tbh

I've noticed the game does not really like onscreen display stuff like afterburner, Hwinfo etc... got any of that running ?

No tried that approach already. I'm gonna take another look tomorrow and disable some background programs one by one. The tutorial worked fine but the main game is just a no go. Crashes randomly in the car scene it's never even at the same point.

Windows sound set to 44KHz ? I had it previously set to 96KHz and many games refused to work properly.

It was around that point that mine popped out of full screen into windowed mode. A quick fiddle with Borderless Gaming and all was well again.

I really want to play this on PC as played a huge amount on PS4, but I really doubt a GTX 660 is going to handle this game

Got it for PS4 but haven't played it much with my limited game time think I'll wait till this goes on the cheap and buy it on pc, looks stunning.

Thanks for those. I'll try them both tonight

Did you just change in game from full screen to borderless?

I didn't do anything with the game itself, I opened borderless gaming and moved Final Fantasy XV from the left to the right. Nothing else.

Is borderless gaming some sort of app as i'm not quite sure what you mean?

you've made it sound like your opening some sort of program or option on windows?

Yep... https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming

Also available on steam. I tend to run most things with it, I found it helped a lot with some games over my steam link.

Noticed that it's using 9.5GB of VRAM even at 1080p on a 1080 Ti with everything maxed. Can't imagine it actually needs that much. Maybe it just caches as much as possible to speed things up.

In the settings, there's a low/med/high type option for the amount of textures that can be cached, so I'd go with your assumption that if you have the ram, it just keeps what it can to help performance.

Any one having issues with dual schock 4, where you can move up and down and go back but yoy can’t select and confirm settings, aldo game crashes on car pushing part, vram goes to max on my 1080ti... a bit annoying especially when ff12 workin do well.

Played about an hour of the demo, Absolutely gorgeous visuals, Insanely detailed, Runs well enough at max settings and 4K on a Titan Xp, Around 40-60FPS depending on the situation and around 70-90FPS at 1440P.

Good to know. I probably won’t get to play it until either a 2080 or a new Titan comes out and those will easily be able to max it out at 4K it seems and any dips G-Sync will sort out

Damn, this runs so well that I'm tempted to get it at some point, even though I finished it on PS4 last year.

Was far from a perfect game due to the severely underdeveloped plot/sideququests and a disappointingly lacklustre map after all the promises but I really liked the combat, atmosphere and camping etc. It also looked very pretty and had its moments.

PC version feels completely different than the juddery mess I had to put up with on PS4 and I didn't tackle any of the post-game content back then so maybe I'll grab it in a couple of months.

There's a benchmark app for it on the square website.

mine crashes on the car pushing part too.

what spec is your PC curious if it's similar to mine has hardly anyone reporting the same crash we are having

tried that still no help, game is still bugging out on the car pushing part, i lowered setting to minimum and managed to pass the car pushing scene only to get another crash as soon as i talk to the girl in the next scene.

getting some odd crash errors too randomly

calculator.exe has stopped working
ai suite has stopped working
corsair utility engine has stopped working
could not find address memory location (something like that)

definitely the game is the issue or specific hardware configurations i can run my rig flat out all day long on any game or benchmark with no issues at all. Something is amiss somewhere and its driving me mad
