I usually like scifi games, but I'm just not excited for this one for some reason. Just seems a bit...generic.

Have you bothered to read about it? Lots have said that it slipped under their radar, but have given it ago and loved it. Giant bomb raved about it.

How do you think it will run on a 6700k and 1080 graphics card at 3440x1440?

Would run fine. Depends on your expectations though. If fine is minimum 100fps then you may need to play on lower settings. But even on high setting it looks great, at 4K anyway.

Just give it a go, only have £1 to lose.

Anything using the Unreal engine usually runs pretty well.

Anyone playing on Supernova? Thoughts? Just starting my game and love the sound of this difficulty.

Loving this game! I know it's the higher end of the hardware spectrum but it's running flawlessly at 4k,locked to 60fps using an overclocked 8700k and a lowly 2080ti.

Will give the game a blast tonight on the free trial

I haven't used my PC in a year or so. Stored it away early this year to make room for a nursery.

Tempted to hook my tower up to the TV and grab gamepass for £1. I'm on a 1070, which I'm sure will be plenty. Probably not for 4k though?

Bloody hell that must be one hell of a case if you needed to move it to make a nursery.

Ha

Just our tiny room was my sort of retro console set up and PC room but 2nd child means I've had to make space.

I used to plug it in to the TV quite a lot back then for big releases as I do prefer to sit back on the couch for games like this.

Such a shame there aren't separate options to disable individual screen effects such as Chromatic Aberation. Only way I can tell to get rid of that, is select "low" for screen effects but then that lowers other effects I'd like to keep.

Yeah. I just left mine on high.

im getting 4K30 with my 1070 which is not good for me so going to use the resolution slider to take it down to 1440p whilst keeping UI at 4K.

I've only been playing for about 5 hours, but so far I'm absolutely loving it. Everything just feels great, gunplay is a little light, but everything else is brilliant.

Running very high and Ultra textures @1440p with specs in my sig, averaging 70ish, highs of high 90s lows of mid 50s.

You can change stuff via the ini files: https://www.reddit.com/r/theouterworlds/comments/dmq2fj/pc_disable_that_pesky_taa_and_dof/

No idea if it contains the specifics of what you'd like to change though.

Thx Dano, great shout that. I was about to go looking for the cfg files at some point today.

I'm using the same res, 2600 + 5700 XT.

Downloading now. I'll let you know what performance is like. It likely won't be far out from your rig.

TonyTurbo78 · 25 Oct 2019 at 14:47

What a difference after a few .ini tweaks. Got rid of that horrible Vaseline look.

For reference, I've added;

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.PostProcessAAQuality=1
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.05

I had planned to play this game tonight but amdrewards are ******** itself right now. I cannot download the PVT program to verify my ryzen 3600 and the few times it will download the download is borked and after installing it it just says i have to download it again. The one time it went through to login it claimed that the coupon code had already been used.. lets just say that i'm not in a good mood right now.

EDIT: ohh and after following their FAQ, removing my OC, restarting and now it wont even let me log into the site claiming to many attempts.. .... .. who ever made that website should be ******* fired

I’m glad of the opportunity of playing this on Game Pass. Had a couple of hours on it but it’s not really gripping me just yet. Feels like a poor man’s BioShock without fun.
