Been playing it a few times with some mates, not had a chance really to get fully into it but from what I've seen the group/squad aspect is nice but I really dislike the GUI usage (space to select, etc), why not just have the mouse to select and do stuff instead of a mashup of both? Also some control mechanics at default are questionable.

Still, PVP should be a blast in teh final game, if they fix the gnarly bugs.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you can use the mouse to select stuff on the GUI.
 
Maaaaaaaaaaannn I got mega trolled today in the dz LOL! I helped a group of people take on some rogues, we won. Everyone got good loot so we all stroll to extraction and against my better judgement I actually stayed with them.

Sure enough as soon as the chopper drops the rope I get bombed with fire and hell breaks loose! HAAHAHHA I wasn't even mad, that's how the game is supposed to be.

Remember... TRUST NO ONE! :D
 
Some good games and I have some nice loot now. Two blue weapons, an M249 with a 100 round magazine for some good old fashioned hosing and a very nice purple LMG with a 30 round magazine boosted by 6 rounds thanks to some stat boosts. The purple LMG also gives me 4% health back on a kill. I'll get some screenshots. Only issue si that running two LMG's means the ammo is shared so I have an Assault rifle for those 'OMG need Ammo!' moments.

Didn't realise they'd be quite so big.

FPS tends to fluctuate between high 40's and 55 FPS. I've yet to see 60 unless I'm inside. No idea about CPU usage but will say it all feels smooth and I'm not noticing any significant drops personally. Will be on tomorrow morning before work for a wee while which almost NEVER happens with any other game.

Well played for the last couple of days, Really enjoyed it so happy to let the preorder stand. I read some of the concerns re griefing and hopefully they will be addressed. I had no real problems with the DZ and rogues but then maybe just lucky.
 
Sure.

Download sweetfx2.0 + reshade 1.1 (one download all files combined) - that will give you these files:

24738353965_98fc8dde2b_b.jpg

Copy all the files except the two readme's and the sweetfx+reshade zip file (6 items)

Paste them into Division directory where the Division.exe is.

Rename the Reshade64.dll to dxgi.dll

Download the Kputt config from here https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/5087/

copy and paste this file into the Sweetfx folder that you moved into Division directory, should look like this

24712252036_fa58d54667_b.jpg

Delete the SweetFX_settings.txt

Rename the new config "SweetFX_settings.txt"

Done, use "scroll lock" in game to toggle on and off
Brilliant! That has worked perfectly, Tony. Thankyou!
 
Couple of responses from Ubisoft on the cheating, just in case anyone isn't browsing reddit:

Guys, so you're aware the things discussed here are not in fact hacks or cheats, but merely abuse of glitches that exist in the game currently. These glitches are currently being worked on by the team :)

@hamishbode So Hamish, are there any plans to correct the cheating issues before release, or should I go ahead and cancel my pc pre-order?

@RedekerKane Of course there are. We're on it, Stephen. Don't you worry your pretty little face.

I'm happy it has been extended another day, I really want to get back to the dark zone...

I managed to level up to 8 which meant that I couldn't play in the dark zone with Stark anymore so we went and did the normal missions together, its so boring compared to the dark zone. Not only that there was no one else around, not only that there are so few quests, but also the feel, the normal zone doesn't have those massive whiteouts and utter darkness and the actual threat of people stealing your stuff.

The dissonance between the two ranks and zones is something that puts me off, but I think it will be better in the final release.

Performance wise I wouldn't say I was surprised at how well it ran, probably about what I expected and the game does look great. There are also a lot of thinks that you don't notice, like the destruction on taxi signs, the fact that when you shoot cloth it actually puts holes in it.

Shame that all the loot and cosmetics I have gathered will be gone.

Now I just need to find it cheap!
 
Played a few more hours last night with a friend which transformed the game completely for me. I would have liked a higher level zone so we could see what later enemies would be like as we found it a little too easy.

We did the mission on a hard difficulty which was a nice challenge, but the tactics always remain the same, wait for the enemy to rush forward and then take them down in a hail of bullets.

We ventured into the DZ for about 30 minutes and hated it. There were a couple of random guys behind us who kept aiming down their sights at us so we weren't sure if they were going to attack, then out of nowhere a team of 4 literally appeared out of nowhere behind us and took us down. Need more time in the DZ to figure out how it all works and how to avoid other players.

Enjoyed it though, I think I'll wait for the game to reach sub £20 before purchasing though.
 
That is awesome Harry :D

I must admit, one of the first things I do in gun games is shoot the scenery to see how many bullet decals you can get before they start fading away. I usually just try and make a smiley face but your work sir, is a masterpiece.
 
Everything on max and my PC usage below, this was the lowest FPS I saw, most other times it is about 50-60 although the game overall feels rather stuttery, I might try putting vsync back to auto as I turned it off since some people said it was causing FPS loss.
