Kingdom Come: Deliverance / Open-World RPG / Medieval History

Can’t stand RPGs but still got this just to fap over the graphics/atmosphere. Wish more games would use cryengine.



You’re sounding a little triggered/snowflakey yourself tbh...

Ha. It's called ranting. Far too old to be a ********* bud. Also love the fact this forum has started starring out the word *********. The irony is very, very heavy.

Anyway, talking of the game, but mainly graphics for now, I've finally got around to testing it out properly.

Aside from performance tweaks which will leave for another time, I've been working on getting the game looking as nice as possible using Reshade (but without impacting performance too much).

Below is my current (work in progress) Reshade config file settings. Note this is whilst using the e_VolumetricFog=1 setting (via a user.cfg file) and mainly using Lift Gamma Gain to counteract the slight washed out result that e_VolumetricFog=1 gives, and DPX to add some subtle pop, slight colour warmth and other stuff. The game looks quite flat and 'dulled' without using reshade. I've also added a very subtle context sensitive depth of field effect. Please note this is based on my calibrated monitor so as ever, other end user opinions may vary, but if anyone fancies trying it out and letting me know your thoughts, would be good...

This game is awesome but my dated computer has a problem keeping a solid 60fps. I have a problem with the save system where you need a drink in order to save the game if you are in the middle of nowhere. But I found out that there is a mod to disable it. I'll be installing that later.
 
not continuing until the patch drops. Ive only had 1 quest bug (minor) and was able to complete it (missing bandits) but would like optimization and performance improvements before heading back in. Also waiting on new bulb for my projector ...my current bulb on a last stand of 5500 hours what a fighter. but image isnt as good i think (or my eyes are crap).

Same here. I was really worried when people were talking about corrupted saves so I don't want to progress too far into the game only to lose my progress. Having said that what I have played up until this point has been great. Waiting a couple more days for the patch isn't going to kill me.
 
I've completed 20 quests in about 60 hours played so I'm not too worried about bugged out quests atm:D

Currently looking for a nice outside privy so I can read Flea & Warts Remedy:P

Whatever you do, don't read on your horse! Done that twice now, and both times I ended up only being able to look straight up or down, unable to dismount and thus had to reload. That's not to say it will happen ever time, just not worth the risk!
 
patch 1.3 should hit by friday, hopefully sooner because i got my new bulb for my projector installed and its great nice and bright and much crisper too :D
 
Really liking the game, it’s very well thought through. It can get a bit quiet at times but that adds to the charm I think.

2 things that aren’t spoilers from my 90 mins tonight. I’m going to ask the Mrs for a game of blind mans bluff in the stable. “Morcock”l :D
 
This is a game that you can lose hrs and hrs in, and even not get all that far...and yet enjoy the time none-the-less.

I am hoping that once my skill points / level or whatever it is increases for lock-picking, that it'll be much easier. I had to pick a lock to get a ring, and I have 8 lockpicks. I was glad that I drank some scnapps before hand, as it took 4 reloads before I was successful (and this one was marked easy). That was 32 goes on an easy lock. This was my first lock-picking, after see all these chests that I couldn't open (no lockpicks). But if it's this hard, it seems a bit pointless.

Can anyone confirm that lockpicking gets easier, or do you actually have to get better at the twirling / following combo ?

My xeon 5675 running at 4.3Ghz / 12G ram @ 1890Mhz / GTX970 / SSD struggles to keep a really good frame rate @ 1080p. I'm only seeing 30-40, and in complex places it's in the 20s. Im on Vhigh, with shaders set to medium. Thankfully, this is not a game where fluidity is all important. It's also causing the PC to crap out occasionally, whereas the PC passes some limited stress testing

Try dropping shadows to medium. And try lowering the object detail slider as well.

I can run a nearly perfect 60 fps with a rock steady frame-time with all settings at ultra except shaders & shadows to high & object detail dropped a bit. This is at 1440p with vega 56.

As it's quite a slow game & it looks fantastic I usually run 30fps with everything maxed including sliders. I get a perfect frame-time in most places albeit with latency doubled (Rattay & some other bottlenecks excepted.)

To get the smooth frame-time I have to leave vsync on & set sys_maxfps at either 30 or 60.

I also use r_batchtype 1 but I think this may only be benefiting vega gpu's.

Oh & lockpicking does get easier:D
