Been playing most of the day with friends -
Anyone else getting like black flashes in certain areas in the DZ? didnt get them outside, & only in a few spots, but made the game unplayable at times.
Any tips on tweaking settings for better fps without dropping too much quality? Mine seemed very variable, anything from 25-75 fps (already got latest drivers)
Was fun tho, went rogue a few times, hunted down rogues others, tried story missions normal & hard, think they got a good balance in the difficulty scaling, that was with 3 of us though, heard it can also vary with more/less in the group.
The amount of pvp action in the DZ appears a matter of luck, as I think someone said theres a limit on the player count in any DZ, so you might get a lot of pvp, none at all, or a mix, depending.

Here's my review thus far,
I believe I have completed 95% of the main content of what is on offer in the beta, unless more side missions unlock or there is something I've missed around the Dark Zones. Overall it's a good game, combat is good, weapons feel nice and the sounds actually sound good, the starting missions are OK, nothing too exciting but allows for some good single play action and party play, was great fun doing the "second" mission as a squad of 4, albeit we rushed at one part and I went down!
I would like to see a variety in the enemies and encounters, 90% of enemies seem to be hooded looters or the flame thrower guys which got a bit boring, I assume there will be different enemies the further into the game we get which should be fun. The AI walking the streets could be a bit more "lively", they'll happily walk around with no reaction to you mowing down 10 enemies or have some non-fitting dialogue as you walk passed. They didn't seem to fit very well IMO.
Graphics are decent, nothing too crazy but it's an open world RPG, AAA title graphics wouldn't be my expectation, the foggy snowy nights and the clear sky morning look awesome none the less, so won't complain.
Performance is pretty good as well, my single 680 can push 40FPS on a mixture between high/ultra, SLI is not working very well for me, with constant drops to 0-10 FPS regardless of the area, however SLI 680 can push 60 FPS at near Ultra settings which was a nice thing to see.
Am I hyped for it's release? - Not sure, unless the main storyline grabs you or there's a variety of content I can see myself getting quite bored of the similar styled; go here and kill this person/do this object for loot (but it's a RPG so that's how they work!). The Dark Zones are fun however it got a bit tiresome being shot from behind consistently when ducking in cover for a second, or when you've just worked as a team to defeat some hard enemies and then get rinsed down. I suppose that's the nature of it all, but head on combat was fun, being mowed down from behind was not.
What was fun, was taking the high ground with a rifle and killing people running passed and getting a friend to cover, worked surprisingly well, but got boring as nobody came near our area eventually.
Rating so far... 6/10. I'm not gripped, but will play some more beta this weekend.
The Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz flashback was hilarious to find though!

OMG the Ultra settings have been included and boy does the game look great It now looks like the E3 version , reflections are fantastic , I am 100% buying this game now , running on ultra settings at 1440p getting 50 - 60 FPS well happy with that , can't believe how good the game looks now.

Yep, can't understand Ppl that say it looks crap..that to me just cries of butthurtness, not really sure why Ppl do it. The graphics are fantastic for open world, the lighting effects are superb, DZ looks fantasticly atmospheric especially in snow storms. For those saying the graphics are poop, then can I make a suggestion...buy a decent graphic card and run on Ultra, add 1440p monitor and this game is easily in the top 10 of visually impressive games to grace us.

Unless I am missing something, there are no new "ultra" settings
Game does seem to look a bit better but I wouldn't say e3 good still....

Big call! Is the BETA worth trying yet? Seems that people have been having performance issues?
It's not gonna cost you anything to find out...

There are settings that go to ultra mate.....but you wouldn't know, low for the pro right lmao
You should be fine with your rig kiwi. Personally I am finding this to not run as smooth as the closed beta, fps are about the same but it just feels choppy in comparison to me....
haha you aren't wrong there!
I know there are ultra settings but the way his post is worded, it sounds like they added more ultra settings since the closed beta, I'm not seeing anything new/different since the closed beta????
For this game, iirc I am running mostly high (think that is what auto detect picked for me except it chose around 50% for the 2 detail sliders, I put them to 100%)

Getting some long pauses and that's despite running off an SSD, was not getting that with the closed beta. was smooth as silk then. Apart from that its decent. Mobs are a bit harder to kill. Not been to the DZ yet.
Hoping the lag spikes or pauses are just teething for the new beta release.

Instant no purchase for me. They haven't solved the cheating situation at all.

The Graphics are one of the best this year in gaming ! People are obviously not putting on the max settings that have been added too the open Beta , the Graphics care well good.
