What's Up With Nier Automata on PC?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2017
- Yes we've got Nier Automata graphics comparisons with the PS4 and Pro versions, but the real story here is how the PC version is sub-par and how the problems aren't just about the quality of the port, but with the Platinum engine itself.

This cannot continue.
Ayyyyyy
Kono mama je dame.
BitCloudYo become as gods
I remember fighting Adam at first, seeing that cutscene, being like "Oop, childbirth!" then hearing "This cannot continue" at a consistent beat and kinda dancing then the instrumentals drop and I'm fucking breaking down to it... ah good times.
Sure it can.
Why the hell would they prerender cutscenes at *less* than max in-game settings? The whole point of prerendering is to get better quality than you can in game.
Maybe the engine would handle real time cutscenes even worse. It's sad, because Nier Automata is great experience, but visually looks like a PS2 game, even it's best locations only look as good as something from 8 years ago. It's baffling that the PC port was in such a terrible state, while also looking this bad. They really need to update their engine, because I have seen mobile games that ran smoother and looked better than this.
@@kabeltelevizio They should stop wasting time on their terrible engine and switch to UE4. Seriously, engines should only be done by big corps with some very solid engineer teams.
@@Navhkrin well, platinium games is a big developer, a square enix should have the money for a bigger dev team. Not sure what happened with Automata, because it feels like it was a too ambitious project done by only a handful of people.
I bought it for my ps4slim and it’s soooo bad, especially in the grassy areas
kabeltelevizio
"visually looks like a PS2 game"
you have never played a PS2 game if you think that
2 years and they still havent fixed it
going for 3 now
FAR mod makes it better. Smooth 60fps. The hiccups are still there, but less pronounced.
Valdis Knight if a game has to have the community fix its bugs, then the game isn’t worth my money. No excuse for having poor optimization.
@@WolfAssasin34 can't agree more, dude! It is sometimes frustrating to thinker games just to make them playable. Happened to me with Wolfenstein the New Order and Fallout New Vegas on my new pc. It drove me nuts. It sucks I can't play my favourite games. Just the thought of it makes me rage right now at the publisher, d*mn Bethesda and 2K!
@@WolfAssasin34
The same goes for GTA4 and people still fucking praising it.
Still no patch on PC. The stubbornness at this point is more disappointing than the lack of a patch itself.
there is now in pc gamepass
@@tchitchouan doesn't realy fix anything. still a buggy mess. not worth your money. shame, game itself is pretty fucking good.
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 it did fixed a lots of issues for me. My rx 460 is basically run this at full 60fps now
looks like NieR Automata is getting the update patch, hopefully, they end up fixing the issues to make the game run better.
@@snake2106 still not all problems are fixed
My heart was destroyed after I had to refund it because of performance issues with my mid-range pc. I love this game.
TISQUESUSA FAR mod....
You supposed to use FAR mod
sushi otaku There is an issue... It's not a stable 60.
Abdulrehman sobah
NO developers need to fix their game where we don't have to rely on community made mods.
Bethesda has been doing that for years and no ever gives them shit about it. BTW Skyrim extended edition is now coming out for your socks. Enjoy solid 30 FPS after people fix their game.
And to this day, the game is still not fixed on PC.
I get 60fps at ultra, no stuttering (with AA off and v-sync on)..................I also have a 980ti and run at 1080p, it's just demanding not broken
@@legendp2011 but sir, with cinematic issue that occurred in many pc hate when they not fixed it.
@Arfian Wismiga ....I don't know what you are trying to say here
@@legendp2011 He was trying to say that the Cut-Scenes are still LOCKED to 30 fps or something
@@legendp2011 Demanding my ass, textures looked like dog shit.
640x480. SVGA baby.
Tried that resolution on a standard CRT 40'' tv.
It looks flawless.
Good idea, I prefer resolutions at which game looks like cinema. For Witcher3 it was 1280x720.
The PC uses 128 Global Illumination samples even on low settings while PS4 uses 16 & Pro 32, the PC's GI is utterly overkill & only a minor improvement graphics wise, that's why the performance is bad. a modder is looking to fix it however.
Huh. Guess i'll wait a few weeks to a month to pick this game up on steam then. Wanna play it soooo bad, but this game deserves to be played at it's full potential.
So that's why the game looks so... lit
+ノックスパー You don't have to wait that long. A mod had already fixed this issue. You can read this reddit post about it.
www.reddit.com/r/nier/comments/60y43k/mod_that_drastically_increases_framerate_on_pc/
Ultizer well I didn't dip below 60fps ever, with my great setup
Please list a reputable source. If you could. I'm trying to find one.
i just wish they'd fix the issue where if u alt tab out of the game it forces the game back to windowed mode and you have to keep changing it back. pretty annoying sometimes :/
To this freaking day, still can't launch the game on my PC!
Try using geforce now service.
turn off nihamic services from service manager this is for asus and msi pc laptop then it will work
You guys are absolutely amazing, i love the content and it seems like you guys have been putting out multiple videos a day. I love you guys.
Been 7 months now, and the game is still sitting in my library at "12 minutes played" with no patch.
Guess who's not gonna get the FFXV pc port at launch
just because you have no issues doesnt mean everyone else doesnt have issues, dumbass
I just used the FAR mod super easy Install to fix the resolution issue at full screen. Never had any other problems whatsoever no crashes nothing. Guess I'm lucky idk
Derpy Dimentio I had some issues , I play with a ryzen 1700 and a gtx 1070ti sometimes the game will crash if I fall down the river near the bridge. Other than that I run at a 55-60fps. At 1440p resolution. Wouldn't say the game runs like butter.
Gustavo Thepanda lol day after I comment I got a problem hahahah
Derpy Dimentio yeah the game is not perfect but it's fun.
it boggles the mind. I played this very smoothly (with the fanmade patch of course) on a GTX 1060 laptop, at 60fps 1080p while some people I know with extreme beefy pc's got less than desirable results. Never have I seen a game do the "mileage may vary" thing so profoundly as nier:automata. and it's a shame too, because the experience boosted this game up to one of my all time favourite games ever
Despite the issues listed, NieR: Automata is easily my favorite game of all time. Absolute masterpiece. Use a gamepad for best results.
Will do
'This cannot continue' - beautiful use of the game soundtrack haha, one of my favorites on this one
I'm in love with this game. A masterpiece.
tips for anyone porting a game:
1 NEVER cap resolutions or framerate
I absolutely hate it when I come across a cool game that is locked at 30fps or 60fps for some reason with no fix. Iv got a 144hz monitor and even if I hit 80 fps it looks so much smoother. Less input lag and tearing also
Yeah and the big ass Firm's doing it wrong will read your Comment lol.
You think they do it for fun? It's because they make the game for consoles and target 60fps, that's why when these games get unlocked frame rates they can speed up and have issues at high fps
They just announced on steam like 2 minutes ago they have acknowledged the issues and are working on fixing it
xeon210 i wonder if they will do the video for NieR update just like they did to the NMS,heh
I can't seem to find it, do you have a link for it?
XBacon
go on steam and to nier automata and it will be under the recent news. doesn't say much anyways, only that they are investigating the issues reported.
SpeciallyOriginal oh I see it now. Thanks.
2 weeks later, still no official patch addressing issues... not even the obvious resolution issue.
Thank you so much for this video! It explains a lot of issues that was happening with me. Great work! =)
Serious question: How is such a visually 'simple' looking game so demanding on resources?
2B's Ass.
@@thatchannel195 😂
The theory is that the game hard renders most assets/locations. So unlike say Minecraft (where what you see is what's rendered), Nier pretty much creates the map and has you run freely on it (minus finer details like the trees and such). Its a strange choice but I think its to do with A) How the enemy respawn behaviour works B) So you can speed through fast battle sequences without the game render struggling to keep up
@@chancethefapper4528 that would explain why there are very few loading scenes
@@nothingtoseehere9648 Very true!
Hoping for an update of this video once the patch drops for Steam. 4 years late, but better than never, I guess...
3 years and still not a patch at all.
Japanese developers are ultra lazy on pc
FAR, NVO and NAIOM exist.
@@mizz1414 This isn't an official support, but only some patches fan-made that work on a high level.
@@MiRk96Cai Do they work? yes.
Are they good? yes.
Are they hard to install? no.
Stop complaining.
@@mizz1414 Ok, but where is the official support? Platinum Games just forget about the users, they sell the product, take the money and then stop caring about the user experience.
When you buy software you expect to also have support within the price of the product, which was completely lacking in this case. It's rude to consumers.
Thank you! Been waiting for this!
More PC port reports please, very helpful!
The only issue I had with this game on PC so far was with a GTX 780, where it becomes literally unplayable.
(GPU sometimes takes a nap, and Nier doesn't know how to recover from that)
But with the GTX 970, I had no problems with this game.
CPU was Intel Xeon E3-1240v3
I like how the devs were more concerned with including anti-consumer Denuvo than actually making the game function properly.. Requiring a community made patch to run properly? Ridiculous!
japan.
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 can you explain.
I am curious. Lmao
@@didyoustealmyfood8729 japan is just as if not more capitalist/corporate than the states. companies like squenix would NEVER release a major AAA-game without any DRM, let alone on GoG. also they don't know shit or give a damn about PC. buddha knows why...
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 so they only release it on consoles??
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 well they only aim to cater japanese people and export less. And in Japan the play station market is big. After all play station is Japanese. So they ignore PC users for the most parts unless the game is hyper popular.
I like the shout out you gave to the guy who figured out the fix, those heroes dont get enough attention
Will we get a new video when the re-release comes out in February 2019? I'm very curious to see if the PC version is improved at all.
Nier's pc port has a major issue witch you haven't mentioned; for some users who have gtx780, 780 ti, and some 900 series the game constantly crashes into a whitescreen or freezes with sounds continuing on the bacground. It varies from person to person but for me it crashed once in every hour or an hour and a half. The crash occurs because of the gpu crashing and starting again during the gameplay. It was so bad that I even considered a refund but they announced that they would fix it in the first patch. There hasn't been any announcement since but they still haven't released a patch yet as of now.
I hope you have a great day guys!
No
Unbelievable Rocky thank you.
Unbelievable Rocky lul
I am divided between saying thank you or fuck you
Thank you :D
How did you record PC footage? The game seems to be really against recording, at least with the FAR mod.
Thanks for breakdown. That resolution issue is a deal-breaker. If an official patch gets put out to fix it, I'll pick up the PC version on a Steam Sale.
Bought the game 2 weeks ago on Steam, without adding anything it looks totally fine for me, my PC is i9 9th gen + RTX2070. There is no resolution issue or stuttering problem, very smooth and stable.
Just booted it up. Resolution is still broken without Kaldaen's fix, same with framerate which is still locked at 60 without the fix. Stuttering is still present and I get tearing despite having a Gsync display. The game is not at all fixed
You have 1,000 IQ, did you see the upload time of the video?
@@durchfaII It's still broken in a handful of ways :|
I have a similarly competent pc and yes, it's still broken
I would still recommend using mods since its just spices up the game and makes the graphics look much much better
This game have a last generation graphics yet it demands so much power on the pc. good job Platinum Games!
Combat is next generation, what about that?
@@manubhardwaj5996 You think?
Ihave tried the demo on ps4 mini and it was buttery smooth 60fps from start to finish as i percieved it since i don't have an actual fps counter on the console. I normally game at 120fps/hz on my PC so seeing a game run this smooth on the ps4 was a surprise. Trackmania turbo also runs smooth on ps4 mini.
Hey DF, will you keep us posted for if/when these issues are fixed?
Having this piece of shit drop frames in these pre-rendered cutscenes on a 2080Ti was fucking livid. I tried everything to make this game work. I tried overclocking my CPU and GPU trying to get a stable 60 FPS. I tried the fan made patches, even tried patching the game myself. Needless to say, I failed. Finally I gave up and just bought the game for the PS4 and went to my friend's house to play it on his PS4 Pro. The performance on the PS4 Pro was surprisingly smooth.
Fuck this game.
Looks pretty cutting edge to me. Detail totally looks in place for a 2017 game and the animation is sublime. Very nice effects as well.
Shame it takes so much effort to get it running well on PC though, hope they patch the gpu utilization and the cutscenes.
Eddu Pastelle are you serious?! there are better looking games on ps3/xbox360 than this
Looks noticeably advanced than bayonetta 2 which looks better than ps3/360 games. Animation in that game was great as well.
I admit it looks a bit barren and the pop in could be better. But the textures, lighting and effects are head an shoulders above 7th gen
I think the performance can be better if there was a profile release included in the new drivers. I had to manually create one thanks to the pc community to get sli working at 3440x1440. Now I get a solid 60 fps which still sucks because I have a 100hz gsync monitor.
A good informative video, Thankyou.
they finally removed Denuvo
they did?
@@deus_nsf Yep
I wish that they port Drakengard 3 on PC as well, dang the framerate on PS3 is just so bad, I even experience a slideshow performance during the shoot-em-up scene in desert.
regardless, NieR Automata regardless what platform where it is, it performs really well and the gameplay is really good. story wise, well, its your usual Drakengard/NieR story style where it leaves up to the player for interpretation.
Plays great on my PC with a GTX 1080 and using Borderless Gaming. Was going to get it for my PS4 Pro, but I also wanted the option to Gamestream it to my Shield Tablet (which also works beautifully).
I had to watch 2-3 videos about this game before I saw the appeal, but I understood it immediately once I played it myself. Very happy that my money that was set aside For Andromeda went towards Nier instead.
just downloaded it this morning, so far it runs pretty smooth in "high" with my gtx970 and a 8320e the only weird thing is the resolution tho
I found that the game seemed to run in slight slow motion
Mine too. Did you find any fix?
It's a shame this game has several issues that can completely turn people away from it. It's such an beautifully melancholic game with so many great features, including the amazing story. I was able to play it at a relatively OK frame rate due to the "low spec experience" fix, which eliminated most frame drops. Other than some lag, it was completely worth it in the end.
I finished NieR:Automata on PS4 and bought the PC version on Steam later when it was on sale. Just finished it on my PC and I had no performance issue except frame rate drops during one section of the game where there were too many individual objects flying around. I was running it on the highest quality possible on 1080p with a GTX1060 3GB without installing any mod
I started yesterday, my computer is Core 2 Quad 2.4ghz, 6GB ram and a Nvidia 750ti 2GB,
I'm getting around 45-50FPS on 720p and all low settings, it's pretty smooth and still looks decent enough. Although for some reason there's a difference between how it looks windowed and full screen on the same settings. Full screen is much smoother and windowed is very rough around the edges.
Any mass effect andromeda analysis incoming ?
3ArtDigital Maybe after release
origin.com
where do you live now? maybe it isn't release in your country yet (and my country too)
They actually fixed it but guess what , you have to buy it on windows store lmao
not realy fixed. they upscaled the UI though!!! APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!
To be fair - currenly (4th january 2019) game seems to be fixed - I'm running it on Linux via Steam Play on Vega 56, and there are no game breaking issues with constant 60fps at medium detail @1440p res. The only two issues persisting are need to switch to window and then back to fullscren after any display option change, and the other is sound crackling after ~4 hours of constant gameplay (which is fixed by exiting and restarting the game)
This is one of the many reasons I love G sync, those frame timings do not happen on my PC
Video says Port is alright, runs better than PS4 Pro if you have the hardware, issues are fixed by 30 seconds of work (or wait for a patch)
-> most of the comments: shit port, runs worse....
Just watch until the end before you comment...
console fanboys man, blithering idiots.
This channel is filled with stupid console fanboys, despite the shitty port it still runs better on PC but these console fanboys seem to just ignore that fact.
Why would you need a 450€ card to run this barren world and less than stellar details at equivalent PS4 pro settings. And yet still have hiccups.
A GTX 770 should be enough to play this game max settings at 1440p and 60fps.
im playing on a r9 380x that i got for 180 euros and it works fine 1080p 60fps not getting the 1440p option tho
Actually, video says the game suffers from random framerate drops on all platforms. Not that the port is alright, and certainly not that the issues are fixed because there are no fix for the issues. The 30 seconds of work only fixes the resolution problem, not ALL problems.
Just watch any of the video before you comment.
To this day they did not fix the pc port, no patch and no fix, nothing..... They just took the money and gave us the middle finger.
those glitches break my heart and make me realize Im really lucky. only thing that happened to me was I got corrupt data and lost like 30 minutes of game time. was playing on a standard PS4
The frame hitching has got to be resolved, it's driving me crazy, the fact that it's happening on every system is bizarre but since it's so widespread hopefully they'll fix it.
That being said, i'm not sure Platinum have ever made a patch for anything they've ever made.
Is it me or does the PC port looks a bit washed out??
time of day (Chapter) effects this... they are identical in terms of color.
Elfaia The console version looks just as washed out
Colors are completely dependent on your TV/monitor. It makes no difference what platform.
Elfaia ps4 uses crazy amount of contrast.
The port isn't that bad, most stuff is easily fixable. The only thing that's really annoying is the way they implemented KBM controls. They literally mapped the mouse 1:1 to joystick, with dead zone, max. turnspeed, etc. It feels absolutely horrible.
this game is so amazing though and i really love the soundtracks!
A through remastered edition could be just the thing thats needed ^^
I run an i5 6500 and a rx470. Runs like butter on max settings at 1080p. I do see pop in from time to time in the city and cut scenes do stutter occasionally but this is common on all platforms.
waiting for breath of the wild full tech analysis
yeah on PC 😂
Bilinear filtering, no anti-aliasing, 900p, low polygon count, low resolution textures, very low draw distance, drops to 20fps, getting hit doesn't trigger any staggering animation it just turns you red, no proper voice acting. Here's your tech analysis.
the draw distance isn't all that low at all, and it doesn't suffer from severe pop-in
Still better than 99% of games... Lol
TGE He has also forgotten to say that it was developed for the Wii U.
(And I fail to understand why voice acting is part of a tech analysis).
2020 and I can’t get past the damn prologue
sem cause crashes so much
I played it on ps4pro some years ago, I remember it being quite smooth and polished actually
You forgot about the random crashes :\ but its nice that the community found a fix.
For a game about technology, the people who made this port suck at it.
@Doom Guy I'm not even gonna argue with you.
@@GrubKiller436 He isn't wrong... compared to most ports, this one is actually really good. I have a high end PC so I may be biased but I can run the game without bad lag unless its during the cutscenes, mods also really help to stabilize the game and make it even better than the console variants. It could always be better but that's what everyone says about any port that is made 😂
@@GrubKiller436 The game is optimized bad... having a high end PC doesn't mean shit if the game has bad optimization
I haven't been able to find any mods which fix the cutscene lag yet
I saw the first part of your comment but you either deleted it or it didn't send
@@nothingtoseehere9648 It was deleted by RUclips because RUclips is ran by sensitive SJWs.
@@GrubKiller436 you trying to cuss me out? probably best to use words instead of insults 😂
but yeah, youtube has certainly gone downhill
don't know why ps4 players shitting all over the pc gamers in the comment section,do they even watch the video.
"EVEN A DECENT PC CAN EXCEED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PS4 PRO"-John
I can provide the timestamp if you want to.
Yes the pc port sucks but I am playing this on my humble 1050ti and I am happy with the performance,isn't it all that matters?
1:44, as for why PS4 players shitting on PC gamers, it's probably because the number of comments PC players made about how the PC version will be superior.
Yeah and 7:37
And by "decent" they mean a 980 ti and and an i7. These 2 components alone already cost more than twice than a PS4 Pro.
If you have so much money to burn on a marginal improvement then be my guest.
Young Milo no,they weren't talking about the rig they are using.Decent means average,just in case you aren't aware of it.
My GPU can run it 60fps with some tweaks,a card like gtx 1060 is good enough for this game.
Please stop spreading this venom of ignorance,Ps4 pro is an exceptional piece of hardware.
Why are you jumping here to prove that your console is better than PC?
I am a PC gamer my whole life,I am 24,I know every pro and cons of PC gaming. I can tell you some cons if you want to know,it will help you in bad mouthing about PC the next time,but cost is never a drawback in PC gaming,like you console player always point out.
+K Lee
But it is the superior version...
My pc quite the high end i got really annoyed why the cut scene only 30fps till i realize that it was pre render cut scene
I did not notice any stuttering in the city area in the slightest to be entirely honest. I did have the whitescreen of death on RX400 series, requiring me to roll back my driver. Was kind of a pain, but it was my only issue, and the game ran smoothly apart from that
Ahh that's a little disappointing :(I'll probably wait for further patches or a price drop.
Nison545 well no price drop and no patches because I get 50-60 fps with a ryzen 1700 and a gtx 1070 ti. At 1440p
On sale right now but I don't think there have still been any official patches yet :/
i come from the future. still no patch
Eh, how do games get such a high rating with all these technical issues and they seem like they never get resolved.
Still no patches, they've abandoned the game.
Weird, I didn't have any of those issues, and I have the EXACT same CPU and GPU as the ones used in your test. My game stayed at a pretty solid 120-144 frames per second throughout most of my time playing on 1080p. I occasionally saw it drop to around 90, but that was it.
I had to go through a lot of tweaking just to get the game to run smoothly. I'm using a GTX 970 and i7 2700k CPU, and I've had to set the game down to 720p with anti-aliasing removed just to keep it at 60fps, and even then, there's still hiccups here and there. I haven't yet tested out the mod that was posted on Steam, but hopefully I can see better results and probably be able to set it up to 1080p. It's one those games that really needed better testing and optimization, because performance issues aside, this is definitely a fantastic game. Eventually I plan to get a 1070 card down the road, so hopefully that helps even more.
It just blows my mind on how good the soundtrack is for this game! I need to finish Horizon Zero Dawn quickly, I want to play this amazing game so badly!
is that so hard to port console games to PC?
90% of those ported games has issues like fps drops, resolution problems, limited graphical options etc
André Miyahara Punx it really shouldn't be hard. They run and test the game on pc.. so if they mess it up, they are just being lazy or have no knowledge of optimization
Vince, see yourself out please, literally nothing you said is actually informed statements, just bullshit you probably heard some other fuck wit saying.
consoles are literally low-budget AMD PCs. cant possibly understand what goes wrong in the porting process. it's the exact same platform. the only difference is the OS
To quote Based Yoko Taro: S**t Square Enix!
If one game deserves a next gen remake its this one. The style, gameplay and music are top quality. Graphically the game is held back by a poor unoptimised game engine. Give this to Bluepoint and let them weave their magic.
It looks quite good for a 60 FPS last gen console game.
Gameplay is a mess, same as the story, but looks nice for sure.
970ti + ye olde i5 2400 on 1080p, game was smooth for me. Don't quite remember but fps in the city may not have been constant 60, more like constant 50, but really no heavy stuttering or other uncomfortable effects, was playing 5 months ago or so.
That Kal guy is a blessing. He has my Zestiria running at 60fps.
You had no issues playing on a 1080ti.... you don't say!
Ikr.
I'm running an i7 6700K and Radeon Fury at 1440p max settings except AA and haven't had any of the problems reported in this video with Nier.
explain how you get more than 30 FPS in the pre-rendered cutscenes...HINT: They're PRE-RENDERED you cannot get more than 30. SO stop lying, thanks
Was planning to buy this shortlu after release, as it's my most anticipated game of the year, but the launch issues have put me off for now and I'll most likely just get it later.
Before refund, my main issues were the full-screen issue that was at 1600x900 and being output as 1920x1080i and looked horrible that way. The gameplay, of what I played, was smooth-ish with the frame stutter now and then like anyone else has. lastly, the FMV cutscenes starting out fine then going into frame-dropping zones making them look like choppy 15FPS or lower it felt like.
2020 and yes...... no patch
So even broken PC ports run better than PS4 Pro games, awkward! Thanks for the excellent video DF!
Avioto Of course if you are ready to spend $1000 on a game device LoL
1000?! Where the hell do you get your parts? I've never spend over 700 for a complete PC. Still a really dumb argument and typical fanboy behavior.
Avioto Spend 100% more for 20% better performance. It's your money not mine.
"It's your money not mine" As you continue to pay 60 dollars for every new game
i bet you also own a pc, a monitor, aswell as a tv. i wonder how much that all cost you.
Why I had a notification of this channel if I'm not even subscribed?
There is a mod that modified and the game engine itself and allows for more graphics options that fixes these issues
How does DGF get any down votes? They do such a great job.
PC fanboys don't like DF exposing yet another broken PC port as they like to pretend everything is amazing on PC
some people just dislike videos for no reasons
This may not be a good port, but it's still better than the console version.
for the record, it's been patched :)
Oh and I don't notice the resolution problem when running at 1080p (apart than the text being not-so-good looking, guess they don't render texts to a separate texture, instead render individual glyphs directly into the screen), but I have crashes heres and theres with my Rx 480 and the latest driver. I revert back to the older version as suggested in Steam forum.
I noticed in the 'License' screen that the engine utilize Ruby, which is not known for the best performance. Can't say that it is actually used in the engine or only in the tool they are using in the development process.
The license state Mesa as well, but I don't think it is used with the DX11 code path. My another guess is they are running OpenGL in their development version (as afaik it is more close to the PS's API than DirectX), and they switch to DirectX as it runs better on most hardware.
Just only a wild guess, BTW.
Well.. that's what we get for half ported Game
Yes we all know it's one of best 2017 games, but it's ported badlly
They could took their time to ported wisely, but they just rush it and release it early on pc
my issue of this game isn't bad optimize, my problem is "pops in" why didn't include view distance? ;(
Yeah maybe, but for sure this game gonna be one of Top 2017 games..
Which considered something not easy to achieve (it got 9 in Metascore last time I checked)
Apart from that, this game rocks in every way.. the only issue is PC bad port
you can argue about this game isn't 2017 GOTY, but it stills one of best games i ever played
You all assume porting is easy and simple - it costs money, money they didnt have, its a miracle there was a PC Port planned out to begin with, they arent being funded like a triple A title, they have a limit to what they can do compared to FFXV, HZD, Zelda, MEA and yet it is a better game than all 4 of those.
Yeah porting not easy correct..
But since porting cost money, it sure will bring them more sales, which is what they want ($)
They do port with minimum costs and efforts.. while charging us 60$ full price with unfinished port
Plus, a lot of Japanese developers started porting their games (Toukiden, Atalier, Dynstey Warriors, Dragon Quest, FF, Dark Souls...etc) so it's not a surprise some PS4 exclusive are already ported to PC
Am not against 60$ price tag on Japanese games, but am against paying 60$ while having bad optimized games with a lot of performance and bugs issues
It has a FRACTION of the budget of Mass Effect: Andromeda, and still manages to be one of the best games of 2017, and one of the best games of the past decade.
Pierre, shush. Porting is a job, if there's money to be made in it, then there's no fucking excuse under the sun for them to pick up, or you.
If there has never been a single good port of a game, you'd have a point, but the thing is you can make ports good, you just need people with experience in both areas, so whose fault is it they're not hiring people to take care of the technical side of the issue?
in short, stop giving professional developers a bad name, they don't suck at their jobs, I'm more curious what obstacles there were here to overcome. Time constraints, lack of staffing necessary for porting, improper team assigned for the task. That stuff is what I want to know, not some copy and pasted parroting point.
Nier: Automata - "Hello, PC-version of Dark Souls" 😂
I'm surprised you didn't mention the game braking issue the game is having with AMD hardware. Where the game crashes to a white screen 15-20 minutes in for seemingly no reason. From what I can tell people using the GTX 780ti where also experiencing the "white screen of death". Good review! I cant wait till they fix the game!
I kinda saw this coming especially with being made by Platinum Games.
Any news about the crack from CPY?
PC pirate race
arg!
Why aren't you guys test games on your budget PC anymore?
Dinh Duc Nguyen they test on budget pc for more popular games to get some more views from retesting usually after doing one with their high end pc.
Once Kaldaien dropped his full screen (and other stuff) fix + the update it received yesterday the game run significantly better than vanilla. I have a i5 4590 + GTX 1070. I can run the game at 1440p@60 without issue aside from the undefeatable hitching that seems to plague the game.
The issues mentioned in the video ars not present in my rig. I've used a i7 6700k and a GTX 1070. But am on Ryzen 7 1700x and still not having issues with full screen scaling or anything. I will note part of the games demanding specs are I would say reasonable. I feel that the transitions to different parts of the map are seamless as the render distance for various effects feel pretty far.
PC just got a mod that almost doubles the framerate by reducing the Global Illumination quality. It's free performance since you can't spot the visual fidelity loss. I've heard a single GTX 970 can keep 60 FPS at 1440p now.
One of the best games ive ever played. Just got me so sad when it just suddenly ended 14 hours in and now I need to do the same quests again for different endings or whatever.
Can you do frametime tests with Ryzen on csgo? I've tried everything and i want to know if its a persistent issue all around, I hear memory speed is important too, could you include that? I feel like it would be a very popular video, so people can get a feel for if they want to go for Ryzen for competitive CS:GO. I've noticed that no one goes to quite the depth of analysis as you folks do and its really quite impressive, even that you have made your own tools to do so, anyway I would really appreciate it!
I played Nier: Automata through as soon as it got its PC port, it took me over a week yes but I didn't encounter any of these listed problems?
My specs then:
Intel i5-4690k overclocked at 4,0Ghz
GTX 760 OC 4GB
16Gb DDR3 RAM
Motherboard: ASUS ROG RANGER VI
EDIT: OS was WIN 7 Ultimate
I have upgraded since that time but man, now I really want to play the game again after seeing these clips.
