The game just came out and they're already nerfing shit instead of working on a fix for terrible performance problems plaguing this game. It's fucking baffling.
Pic related.
>>334482890
DaS III is bretty good, i have like 30 hours already
>terrible performance problems
Wasnt ds2 pretty good on launch apart from that durability bug? How did they fuck up this time
>>334482829
Greatsword needed that nerf, it's mind blowing how braindead a weapon can be. You can knock down guys with R2 and then keep doing it ad infinitum because for whatever reason you can hit people on the floor.
>>334482829
im sure it takes a ton of resources to lower/up some numbers in a video game
they totally dont have enough people to do multiple things at one time
I can play the game with a GTX 960 just fine on high settins.
>>334483030
Don't you think they should focus on making the game actually playable first and only after doing that they should start solving balancing issues?
These adjustments are easy and quick to roll out because they don't require a full patch.
Because nerfing damage/stamina values takes about 45 seconds.
>>334483154
It is playable. Very in fact.
>>334483154
It's playable though, i have a gtx 960 + vishera and never got any issues, yes its true, something the framerate just dies on you, but just happened to me when i tele with bonfires or use a fog gate, just sometimes.
that's not even the first nerf they did, you guys didnt experience jap FUGS like i did
>>334483405
Sometimes***
Forgot to add i play with max settings and graphical "mod"
It's really strange. It runs well for some people and like shit for others, even with identical hardware.
I got 2 friends, both have 3570ks and 770s and one of them runs it maxed 50-60fps and the other can't run it over medium at 40-50 fps. it's fucking strange.
At least it runs well on my 980, 1440p downscaled, maxed 60 fps.
The performance issues were already proved to be caused by bad Nvidia drivers, some people rolled back to old drivers and reported the game running like butter, so it's obviously a problem on Nvidia end, in that case From has nothing to do with it, it's up to Nvidia to release a fixed driver.
>>334483394
>>334483405
Tell that to all the people with high end rigs to whom the game just stutters constantly and framerate tanks randomly. I even know a guy like that.
>>334483154
>why should I bother to upgrade my computer
Gee I wonder.
They need to fix the lag, t-pose animation bugs and crashes before they even touch the balancing.
Greatswords aren't even the problem anyway, longswords are.
>can 8 times
>just spam R1
>poise is worthless
>>334483540
People have reported 30 fps on 290x.
Which is fucking retarded.
>>334482829
>tfw silky smooth 60fps on high
>>334483540
AMDcuck here. It's not just a problem with NVidia cards. On my rig it runs fine most of the time, only for the framerate to drop to one digit values in specific spots on the map, only to go back up when I go even an inch outside of those spots.
>>334483647
>tfw silky smooth constant 60fps on max
>sometimes the framerate tanks when it's loading a new area (teleporting, loading a new chunk of the world), for like a split second which is likely an issue with my HDD
Delicious.
>just found and fortified the greatsword to +5
>nerf incoming
Fucking great
>>334483621
I doubt the problem is related to the GPU, I see people running the game with GTX 750 Ti just fine while others are struggling to maintain a stable framerate even on low settings with a GTX 970.
>consoles are holding back graphical advancement!
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T RUN THIS GANE ON MY 7 YEAR OLD HARDWARE I SHOULDN'T HAAAAVE TO UPGRADE FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME
You people are retards. Also do you really think that the same people who balance the game are the ones who optimize it? There's a team working on optimizing right now, some other group of people working on balance isn't affecting the optimizing team whatsoever.
>nerfing Soul Greatsword and Farron Flashsword
Literally why. They're both weak and predictable as fuck.
>>334483558
Tell him that if he's too retarded to play a game on PC he should get it on console.
>muh balance
fuck pvp.
>>334483869
They never said anything about nerfing, they could be buffing those as far as we know.
>>334483558
i7 and 980 and my game runs perfectly
>>334483843
People are reporting 60 fps maxed on fucking 580s if you revert to old drivers.
The 580 is older than the ps4 mind you.
>>334483621
What area does this happen to people? I've just gone through Farron woods and cathedral of the deep with my 970 and it's been smooth as butter the entire time.
>>334483558
works fine on PS4, when will PCucks learn they're just an afterthought. Be grateful we let you have the game at all
>>334483920
Lol, when has ever Fromsoft buffed something in their games?
>>334483953
Not sure, just saying what I've read.
I've seen some 55s and 54s when alot is going on, but generally smooth sailing for me on a 980 at 1440p.
Initially I had the game installed to my SSD and it was stuttering like fuck, eventually I moved the game to the HD and everything now works perfectly, as strangely as it sounds I think the game performs better on an HD. For people who are facing stuttering issues I recommend doing the same.
>>334483558
I literally can't believe claims like that. Why? Because I have a 970 with a 2600k, and the game runs at 60 constant. Like never dips literally ever. And I also have a friend running it on a fucking 760 and has a solid 40. And I'm also using the latest drivers, which some claim is the source of the bad performance.
So no, I don't believe claims of people with 980 ti's having framerate issues. There's no logical reason why that would happen.
>>334483957
>works fine
>silky smooth 15 fps
sonybrony standards!
>>334483916
op stuff trivializes pve too though, i first tried all the bosses with the FUGS in the jap release
>>334484129
> There's no logical reason why that would happen.
There is, though. This game is optimized like dog turd.
>>334483993
they buffed the chaos blade in the very last dark souls 2 patch
Why is Dark Souls' matchmaking service offline? I won't buy your shitty new game.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The game is badly optimized? It seems like it isn't, I hve an 7790 and I run the game around 30 - 50 at 1280x1024, thats what I get to be below the minimum requirements
I have a CTR monitor and his max resolution is 1280x1024, so I don't care about that
>>334484129
>the latest drivers
Nvidia has been known to brick your PC because of their recent drivers. Even when clean install.
>>334484129
Some people just can't into computer.
>>334482829
>Dragonslayers axe still not nurfed
:^)
I can't get a stable 60 at all, it always fluctuates between 54-60 for some reason. I feel like my 7970 should at least be able to play at 1080p on low, but nope.
>>334484239
>they buffed a shit weapon in a shit game. Surprise, it's still shit
Epic
>>334482829
it's almost like they have different people working on design and balance and different people working on code and engine performance.
shock horror.
>>334484129
>There's no logical reason why that would happen
Like there's no reason for Saints Row to run worse on better PCs, but it happens. Games usually play very different for people, even if their configuration is basically the same the minimal difference can change everything, that's where optimization comes to play, on consoles it's easier since everybody has the same exact hardware, for PCs it's a little more complex, even something like model of chipset or security settings on your PC can potentially make a game run worse for you.
>>334484432
chaos blade was really good though even wihout the counter damage buff, it was no ice rapier but it was one of the top meta weapons
>>334484285
If you did any research you would know it was all falseflag bullshit. Think about it - literally last month nvidia pulled a driver hours after release because it was crashing peoples computers. But it was a crash only specific to those who both did the recommended install and had more than one monitor.
If they would pull that driver on the spot, why the fuck wouldn't they pull a driver bricking cards that's been out for WEEKS? Honestly think about this, not even trying to shill nvidia but for real, think about how retarded that sounds.
>>334482829
>terrible performance problems
Crashing aside, it runs fine
>>334484129
>if it works with my very specific parameters then it must surely work on every other set-up
>>334483030
So? It was their only advantage over longswords, considering they both stagger in the exact same amount of hits. Its mind boggling, they were already a useless class of weapons.
Unless you two hand, you'll stagger at the same rate as a longsword or even a katana, and the two handed move set is trash compared to 1 handed sweeps. On top of that you're slower, the base damage isn't even close to as good as some axes (which have a much better 2 hand moveset and better staggering). Literally the only reason to use greatswords is artorias cosplay. (additionally all usable greatswords require either twinkling titanite or scales)
>>334482995
If you have your lighting settings on High, the game will crash when you approach a bonfire. Reports also say that not wearing a helmet with a longer haired character cause a crash as well.
I was crashing nonstop until I put lighting at Low. Completely fixed it.
There's also a bug where you summon or get invaded and animations for characters don't animate.
>>334483558
i7+980 TI here, not a single issue and it runs silky smooth and all that jazz for me
>>334482995
B-Team makes good ports
A-Team makes good games
We can never have both.
>>334483621
>>334483540
the problem is the CPU
some areas have some absolutely retarded CPU utilization
also when transitioning areas/rooms or picking up items, especially in later stages, it can cause some stuttering, again, because of the CPU
>>334484534
>why the fuck wouldn't they pull a driver bricking cards that's been out for WEEKS? Honestly think about this, not even trying to shill nvidia but for real, think about how retarded that sounds.
Because they've been doing this for years and it forces people to buy new cards. Nvidia are fucking scum.
>>334484290
This. People are stupid as fuck.
>FIRAXIS FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME XCOM 2 IS OPTIMIZED LIKE SHIT
>they put out a patch that literally just removed the option to have AA at 16x
>praise firaxis the performance is so much better with this patch!
90% of the retards who complain about performance are the people who don't know shit about computers and just buy the most expensive graphics card so they can "max out" every game. And then they think that "maxing out" includes 16x MSAA and other retardedly expensive graphics settings that literally nobody actually considers when talking about "maxing out"
These people don't actually look to see if the settings change the game visually. They're the master race fags that just have to click the highest option in every drop down menu to make themselves feel superior, even if the only discernable difference between 8x and 16x AA is your framerate.
>>334484285
>Nvidia has been known to brick your PC because of their recent drivers
Less than 0,01% of the users are reporting bricked cards with the latest driver update, it's obvioulsy an isolated case.
>>334482829
Online multiplayer is the cancer of the video game industry but hey it's the only reason you subhuman PvP faggots even buy games
GOTY edition is the only way to go
>>334483930
Second. Getting a steady 60 FPS with zero crashes.
>>334484449
>this
you're retarded OP.
you really think that changing variables on weapons and items means that the guys working on a complex game engine can't do their work? you clearly have no idea how game development even remotely works.
You're equating the guy fixing the paint job on a car to the mechanic cleaning the entire engine
>>334484674
DS2 was only a good port because it didn't have E3 lighting. The game looks like shit and it runs accordingly.
>>334482829
You must not have been around for DaS2
Same shit different day fampai you should just move on.
>>334484563
>I don't know anything about computers work but I'm going to pretend I do
You people seem to forget that it's CURRENT YEAR, not the early 90's anymore.
>>334484880
>DS2 was badly optimized
Game balance is fucking horrid too. Yeah optimisation is first but seriously, the pvp balance is fucking terrible. I don't even like pvp that much, it's just that fucking bad.
>>334484871
It was still a good port, DaS1 didn't look that good on release and yet the port is so awful that even modern hardware have problems running the game at 60fps.
>>334484674
>B-team had the 60fps durability bug for like a year
>knew it existed since day one and didn't bother to fix it until Scholar
>only then because the new console versions were running at 60 and the bug showed up there
The only reason Dark Souls 2 ran well was because the game was designed from the start to run on hardware from 2005.
>>334485007
PvP is actually fair this time around, if you want to be a dick and invade somebody to ruin their game you should get wreck accordingly.
>>334484880
DaS2 was a billion times better in not-buggy-as-all-fuck regards on release.

You should have waited for the special edition next year w/ all the DLC packs
I maxed out Watchdogs of Farron, so I am ready to upgrade my weapons.
I am thinking of maxing out the BroadSword, is there something better I should pick?
>>334485190
No I'm talking about how magic is worth jack shit, all of it, even the fucking buffs. The only viable weapons are thrusting swords and greatswords, and stupid shit like that.
>>334485190
its the most fun for sure, people are so awful at the game even 4v1s i still fucking destroy them
love that feeling
I get constant 40 fps on low settings in most places in the game. I get sub 15 fps in Archdragon Peak.
I have a generation three I7 cpu and an AMD 7700 gfx card. I'm already overclocking the card.
I was able to beat nameless king with that shitty computer setup and still think he is the best fight in the series.
>>334483084
How? I have a GTX 960 and it chugs on the high tower outside.
All these good weapons are only nerfed because of muh PvP faggots
>>334482829
> no proof of concord drop rate buff
>>334485485
they trivialize pve too, you guys can be thankfull you didnt experience pre nerf FUGS
>>334482829
are they buffing the dancer sword cause it needs it.
>>334485445
Well I don't know m8, the game just runs fine, I get 60fps across the board at 1080p on high settings, no stuttering, no dips, runs like butter. I'm also using the latest 364.72 drivers that people say are giving them problems.
anyone else have trouble with passworded jolly cooperation? me and my friend where trying to play together but finding each others summon signs was nearly impossible. so flimsy in fact that we gave up only having successfully played together in two brief stints. anyone with similar problems?
>>334485190
I mean, I do agree, but they fucked it a little TOO badly. There's literally no reason to invade anymore, they killed invasions.
First of all, the host gets almost double the invaders health. The host also gets double the invaders estus.
That I can live with.
But then, 9/10 invasions are 1v3 or 1v4.
Even that I could live with on its own.
But both of these together make a successful invasion almost impossible. They might as well have just removed invasions completely.
It would be better to let the host keep his health and estus advantage, but if the host has phantoms helping him, the invader should get more estus charges. Even just +1 charge per Phantom would do a lot to make invasions worthwhile to attempt.
>>334484868
>>334484449
You can fuck right off. They knew this was happening back when all those stream fags got early copies 3 or so weeks early and STILL haven't fixed jack shit.
>>334485564
>they trivialize pve too
Thats why PvP is cancer
>>334485738

>Buy a gaming PC from walmart

>>334485618
Passwords just make easier to find other people using the same password, they won't magically make your friend summon sign show up. You might have to wait a few minutes.
>>334483993
Bloodborne's Arcane Tools all got buffed.
Auger of Eribritas gained the ability to backstab and parry, plus a damage bonus. It was useful but not great, then it became one of the most powerful things in the game in PvE if you built for it. PvP to, if the enemy didnt know how to deal with it. The other tools got reduced costs as well.
>>334485830
that makes sense. thanks
I've had zero issues, playing at max. Meme 970 and 4790k. The only noticeable thing are temperatures, GPU at 80 and CPU at 65. Any more would worry me.
You can't upgrade armor in this game can you?
>>334484592
Never had a problem so far. Must be because of your windows 10 or 8.
>>334485190
>fair and balanced
Except you now have estus twinka that have twice as many estus as the host and they're much stronger. The weapons and stats will be similar but it's a huge advantage when you can outlast the host.
>>334485985
No, but don't let that make you think it's unimportant.
>>334485564
>tfw pirated copy so I don't have to give a shit about what stupid nerfs they release
Feels good
>>334485985
Nope, which is a huge improvement. They learned that shit from Bloodborne.
>>334483154
Pretty sure they can do both at the same time.
>>334485975
If temps are high it's mostly because usage is high, I noticed that Dark Souls III uses 99% of my GPU most of the time, even in a place like firelink shrine with basically nothing goinf on it uses like 94%, which makes my GPU run very loud, the strange thing is even though performance changes with settings, usage doesn't, I still get 99% usage even when using low settings.

>>334485975
>zero issues
>970
that's why you fucker, the problems are happening to literally everyone who doesn't have a 900 series nvidia card
>>334486539
They only make exclusives if they're paid to do so
>>334486554
Tons of stutter and graphical glitches. Same shit people complain about every new game launch by From. Gotta take off those tinted glasses son.
>>334486628
If they thought making a multiplat would yield them more money, that's what they would do anon.
>>334482995
Why are people talking about bad performance? This runs flawlessly on my GTX 760, almost everything on the highest except lighting so I don't get crashes.
>>334486729
>what are contracts
Sony paid Fromsoft to make Bloodborne on PS4, it's guaranteed profit for them with no risk of losing money, that's why developers create exclusives.
>>334486895
take a look at steam reviews, you'll get your answers
>>334486151
Weird shit right there I suppose. A friend of mine lowered his settings to mid and only got a couple of degrees less. I do hope there's a fix coming for that. The game looks pretty damn good, but I doubt it's almost-housefire good.
>>334486606
Oh, ok. Didn't know.
>>334486151
So basically they fucked up. At least it's fun, I've been having a great time during my first run.

This is why the "master race" doesn't deserve any ports desu. They're just morons

>>334486936
>people giving it negative reviews because of crashes and bugs that will be fixed soon
Fine, I give up. I will never complain again when a company refuses releasing a game for PC. We don't deserve anything. Not even falseflagging, this is just disappointing.
>>334487045

This thread is so fucking ridiculous and cringesome material. I know that during the European hours this place is filled with SJWs and Tumblr, but even this is too low for you people.
Wow, a game was released with some bugs. WHAT A GODDAMN CRIME. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN VIDEOGAME HISTORY. LIKE, NOT 100% OF THE TIMES BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY NATURAL AND IS MEANT TO HAPPEN ESPECIALLY WITH A BIG GAME LIKE DARK SOULS 3. LET'S START SPAMMING THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON STEAM!
They REALLY need to optimize this game. On all high settings I get stable 60 frames in some areas, and in other areas, even being on low doesn't help me from going through one frame a second hell
>>334487175
I didn't say it didn't happen, I only said that I don't remember reading any threads talking about bad performance or multiple on the week of release here on /v/

Holy shit this game is total bullshit.
I'm in the Road of Sacrifces and I literally cannot stop getting invaded by faggots. I killed 6 assholes before the 7th finally got me. They come3 at a god damn time and there's literally no cooldown between invasions.
What the fuck were these dumb faggots thinking when they made this game?
>>334486935
It's sad how many don't understand this.
It's no different than an artist signing a contract with a shit studio for their first album, becoming popular, and then being forced to make more music that they don't want to make with said studio because of contracts.

>>334487593

>>334487135

That's kind of the point of the thread you dunce. They are putting priority on weapon balance over actual bug fixes. Besides, it took them until scholar of the first sin to fix issues with DaS2. "Soon" really doesn't look that likely.

It is a big team of developers you enormous faggot. They have specialists in graphics, specialists in stability, specialists in the game mechanics and balance. The team working on the balance is not the same team working on the graphics and stability.
And DS2 was nearly flawless in less than one month after the launch save for some iconic bugs such as the durability wearing down 2x faster.
8320 and 970 here, no problems at all, silky smooth fps

>>334487909
Because there were so many performance fixes for the previous games right?
>>334482829
>no general buff to all big and slow weapons so that they always have at least significantly higher AR than fucking standard straight swords
>no general buff to heavy armor so that a metal plate isn't only slightly better than a tattered cloth and for poise to actually matter
I honestly don't know why they had an easier time balancing their complicated mech games than this Press-R1 simulator.
>>334487961
Dark Souls is so ugly it's actually repulsive. I can't blame you
>>334488161
>wow...
>DS2 was flawless and perfect since launch...
>DS3 on the other hand...
>what? you think they will release performance patches? BUT DS2 HAD JUST A FEW OF THEM, NOT MANY!
I hope for your mental health's sake you are baiting
>>334484129
I'm running a 970 with an overlocked 2500k. It stutters. It stutters a lot.
I'm loving it anyway - its a fucking awesome game. But i've only recently realised that everyone wasn't having my problems. And now i'm wracking my head trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong with my rig.
>>334488243

>>334482829
What performance problems? 960 and I get a steady 60

>>334487458
You must be fun to talk to in person
>>334488278
Did you forget the first game? The game that STILL requires fan patches to be worth a shit? The fact that you'd even call DS2 flawless and perfect baffles me.

I've heard of performance problems from people with better rigs and worse rigs than me, i've also heard people with the same as me reporting it working fine. No one seems to know whats causing it.
For me it stutters every time it autosaves (and dark souls autosaves a lot - sometimes once every ten seconds or so). Some people say it was solved for them by going to offline mode - which i tried, despite feeling like a total pussy for doing it - but it didn't help me.
>>334482829
>nerfing and balancing weapons instead of fixes bugs, glitches, and performance issues
Dark Souls 2 all over again. How long was it again before they fixed the 60 FPS durability bug?
>>334488717
wait, it was fixed?
>>334488756
Eventually it was. I think it took at least a year to fix.
>>334488756
They fixed it in SotFS on consoles.
>>334488462
You too anon
>>334488315
HDD and/or reinstall windows 7.
I have the exact same and it doesn't stutter ever.
>>334482829
WHAT DID THEY DO TO FLASHSWORD AND GREATSWORD?
>>334482829
>oh no they're fixing the game
kill yourself
>>334488894
No, it wasn't. It just got turned from a bug into a feature because now even console versions have it.
>>334488894
>>334488756
It was never fixed. 3 don't have it thank god.
>>334487135
>Not even falseflagging
I believe you
>>334483621
Using SLI x2 980ti only improves FPS by 5%, this is literally the worst port of the year.
>>334483820
>I doubt the problem is related to the GPU
You are 100% right.
The problem is related to the game.
>>334482829
>just came out
It's been out for a month now.
>>334482829
>battle performance adjustment for Dancers Enchanted Sword
They aren't nerfing it right? The damage is really low, same thing with the farron flashsword
>>334482890
Its that shit streamer that speedruns. Dude has some awful commentary.
Can they just buff magic already.
There has to be an issue with the lighting of this game, I get 10-15 fps everytime I get pass torches or watch them directly, but looking at the ground or even big areas with no torches or less lighting I get 50-60FPS

I'll always remember him for that glorious trainwreck during ESA.
Ok, so just clear something up for me.
I'm playing DS3 on PS4 and love it so so much. The problem most PC users are having is not being able to play it at 60fps.
I know that 60fps is amazing, since I played SotFS on PS4 too and loved that too.
But if you're getting an even frame distribution, a steady frame rate, even if it is 30, and everything is responsive, with no input lag, is it worth getting flustered and irritated by not being able to run at 60fps?
>inb4 the whole sonygger shit
I'm an idiot and am non biased.
>>334491498
That's the thing though, it's NOT steady, and the game is outright crashing for a lot of people.
I don't understand the performance issues. I have a pretty mediocre rig, but DS 3 runs so fucking smooth, as butter
>>334491650
Mediocre rig? lets see your specs to see if thats true
>>334491616
I understand what you're saying, but is it because are trying to push for the best graphical settings they can?
The crashing bug with the bonfire has already been addressed by dropping the lighting to low, as a workaround.
>>334485406
I have a 7950 how good will it run? I played it for a few minutes I was getting stuttering did they graphically update dark souls to where I actually need a new gpu?
>>334491743
I'm not on my pc right now, so I can't give you a full spec info but I will try and write down some of it for you
RAM : 8gb
GPU : Radeon HD 7550
Processor : Don't know the exact type, but it' Amd, 3.7 ghz, eight core
It can run something like the witcher 3 on medium-high in 720p , with a stable 40 fps
>>334492075
What the fuck thats not a mediocre rig, you have a good PC there is not godly or the best of the best but is not mediocre by any means
>>334491616
I'm a cuck with 20 fps and I love ds3. Admittedly I'm a poorfag so I don't have the 60 fps entitlement but I still can't see how not having perfect fps will make you hate the game.
Also, Any chances Perfomance adjustment for greatsword is not a nerf?
>>334491498
The problem mostly relates to Nvidia users.
I have a 3 year old AMD card and never crashed. As far as the fps during gameplay goes, it's fine. It's +40 to 60.
>>334483558
I'm playing on an i5 6500 (3.2Ghz) and a GTX 950 on high between 45-60fps.
I find it hard to believe that these so-called "high-end rigs" have issues. They're probably just retards who don't know how to update drivers.
I won't be happy until Wholnirs HOLY sword has faith scaling. What were they thinking.
>>334493447
This.
>have faith requirement
>has Wrath of God imbued
>don't scale with faith
Just what the fuck!?
>>334485198
Really fuckwad? How about all the shitty weapon balance patches that totaly destroyed all variety pre dlc. They nerfed the most fun weapons into the ground and all that was left was fucking greatswords and katanas.
Talk about what you know and you wont look like such a loser next time, kid.
>>334491498
I actually meant to put 'idort', not idiot...
>>334493189
Ah I see. That's a shame.
However, I'm referring to when people get dips below 60, etc. Or if it stutters for a millisecond; pc users seem to flip out and disparage the entire company or series of games.
>>334493189
NVIDIA user here. Can confirm that NVIDIA has been pushing out very shitty drivers for a good while now.
>>334493447
If it's like other weapons with faith scaling, you'd probably get like +15 damage at 50 faith.
>>334492405
I don't have a powerful PC either but I can run the Witcher 3 on high with some settings on ultra and I get 50-60 fps. The problem is this piece of shit port, it's easy to tell since it has almost no impact on the FPS from low to high settings.
In fact setting Dark Souls III.exe as a high priority process actually improves FPS by 50%, you can't make this shit up this is a typical behavior of a console emulator.
>>334493649
The dips are very situational. It's clear there's optimization issues, for example: when you grab an item from the ground or your souls back, it may stutter for a moment or when it loads a new area. Just that are perceivable but i never had some fps drop in a crucial moment or died because of it.
Game runs fine for me, only issue are freezes and stutters when loading an area or saving/picking up an item. It seems it is memory leaking the fuck out of it. It is specially worse at the cathedral.
I know 2 other friends who have the same issues, game runs fine but memory leaks with freezes. Is it a good idea to raise my virtual memory?
>>334493649
>pc users seem to flip out and disparage the entire company or series of games.
This is why devs are recalcitrant to port games to PC.
When you develop for consoles you only have to optimise your game for PS4/Xbox One hardware.
When you develop for PC, you have to optimise it for the literally thousands of different hardware combinations available otherwise PC gamers will cry about it.
I'm a PC gamer primarily but I can't stand these neckbeard elitists who think that everyone should cater to them.
>>334493985
I wish tech illiterates would shut the fuck up
>>334494124
Care to elaborate?
>>334483558
I would be extremely surprised if 90% of the Dark Souls audience even perceived microstutters.
All the people saying "works great for me" are probably dumb as shit desu
>>334493985
Agreed. How DARE people expect a functioning game or at least patches to fix problems. The nerve of them.
>>334494402
In that case it's a non-issue since it doesn't impede enjoyment of the game.
>>334484129
Do you understand frame latency?
Do you know what a microstutter is?
I seriously doubt your game runs at a constant 60, it's more like you just don't recognized issues.
You're the kind of person who never changes their oil, and says "My car runs fine!" despite it showing tons of signs of trouble.
>>334493878
I hear you and your complaint is completely valid yet I believe letting it go and just enjoying the game is kind of a better investmenet of one's time than concentrating on nasty shit you can't improve. If they will patch it out, great. If they won't game is still very good.
>>334482829
Does this mean I can turn the game on without my graphics drivers freaking out?
Can I turn my lighting sets up from low?
>>334494572
It is a functioning game. I don't even have a high end PC and I'm enjoying it.
If you absolutely can't stand to play a game because the framerate occasionally drops to 55 fps then go ask for a refund.
Otherwise shut the fuck up and stop being a whiny entitled bitch.
They better not nerf the ultra greatsword
Is 2 GB VRAM enough for High settings at 1920x1080?
>>334494208
You are quite literally too stupid to get it. It's not worth anyone's time.
>>334494779
What about cases when it drops from 45 to 2fps when in certain areas?
>>334484645
>if you have your lighting settings on High, the game will crash when you approach a bonfire.
Well for some people. Totally fine here
>>334494817
Yes. I'm running at mostly high 1080p with a 770 GB. Only thing not on high is lighting due to those crashes From will never bother fixing.
What is a fun build? Strength build has become pretty meh. The guy posting the luck build saw pretty cool
>tfw never crashed a single time whit lightning on high
>>334495156
>770GB VRAM
wew lad
>>334494849
Different anon here, i'm actually quite curious too, i thought the reason most devs wanted to dev for consoles is that they have only one system to worry about
inb4 you are just pretending to bait
>>334482829
>performance adjustment
What are they implying?
>>334495258
Whoops. Meant 2GB
>>334493985
>I'm a PC gamer primarily but I can't stand these neckbeard elitists who think that everyone should cater to them.
Not such thing here, just people that can't play the game they paid. What was the fucking point of your post? please shut the fuck up holy fucking shit how does this have to do with anything?
>>334495256
Same.
>>334484674
Why not have B-Team fix the good game?
>Using a PC I built in 2010 with a 970 jammed in
>All settings on max
>Solid 60 fps
Feels pretty good. I'd like to know what they mean by "general balance changes" too, would be nice to get a full report and not just a vague one liner.
Wondering if I should buy it yet. How broken is it and how long will it take to get fixed?
Is there any good / cost efficient GPU above GTX 750 ti and below GTX 970 ?
>>334495756
specs?
>>334493918
So it's due to loading? Is that not due to a HDD issue and the write speed?
>>334495913
290x
>>334482829
>instead of working on a fix for terrible performance problems
- General balance adjustments and bug fixes
A N D B U G F I X E S
>>334496131
Let's hope it actually is what they meant by that.
>>334494779
>it works for meXDDD
go kill yourself, it works for me too but at least I'm not a pathetic piece of shit. But you are wrong anyways, the game is poorly optimized in comparison to literally any other game released this year.
>>334490135
Flashsword is the only decent tool that mages have for spacing, and even then it does dagger-tier damage
The only (arguably) acceptable nerf is upping the FP cost, otherwise From is fucking stupid
>>334496043
Whatever the cause is, be it CPU, GPU or the HD resources, the game is to blame since it's not using it in optimal ways during those situations.
They should nerf the gaytana to stop literally everyone using it.
>>334496131
>bug=performance xD
Retard, at least From at least knows the difference from those 2 because in the same message, they list performance as something else instead of bugs in 1.03
>>334496719
Bugs cause bad performance retardo.
Did they fix the crashs yet?
>>334496410
I see.
So how come there's only some users who are having problems and some can play the game perfectly with no problems whatsoever?
>>334494689
Can you please stop shitposting all over the thread? I know that, thanks. I'm not playing right now because it doesn't work and just reporting what I know in case someone is interested, I'm not expecting someone to come over to my house to fix it but maybe it may be usefull to someone and it's better than not doing anything.
I'm not organizing a petition to murder every single from software employee, I know they will release a patch eventually and if not well I haven't thought about that, I'm not complaining on the internet 24/7. You are literally the worst kind of shitposter around, "durr he his complaining on the internet that means he spends ALL DAY LONG COPLAINING instead of doing something else" How the fuck can someone be fucking brain dead? How do you even live?
If DS2 is any indication, they'll let the game breaking bugs persist. Then some player will create a workaround so that the game is playable. After that, everyone being affected will use this method to finally be able to play!Then everyone using it will be caught in a major ban wave, and never be able to play online! Remember, don't take candy from strangers!
>>334496480
Everyone will use katanas anyway, because the player base is mostly edgy weeaboo fags.
>60 fps on Windows 10
Don't tell my you STILL didn't upgrade anon?
