How can you even make such unpolished games? And why does no one criticise it? Ever?
Are we NeoGAF now?
Game is pretty shit in general, btw. A LOT of cheap trial and error and just bad gameplay. Also very monotonous (press dodge button when enemy attacks, hit attack button twice, for 50 hours).
>A LOT of cheap trial and error
Objectively wrong
um runs at at 60fps max settings at all times on my SLI gtx 760s so idk what you're talking about anon :^)

maybe its the CPU that changing things then? I've got a 970, and got it at max setting, but it does dip down to the 40's at times
never goes below 30 (unless the game stutters when picking something up, which can be common), but never during combat
>>335011780
>Objectively wrong
objectively true.
It has the most ambushes and bullshit moments of any other game in the series
I have a 970, and i kept getting terrible slow down.
Sub 20fps it ran like shit. I updated my drivers and its better it still gets occasional slow down though.
It shouldnt have this poor performance, but its not like they have ever made a game run well on the PC. So what can you expect from a bunch of weebs.
>>335013130
I have a bit of an overkill cpu, yeah that might do it.

Well trolled, anon.
>>335013158
Wrong. SoTFS's entire difficulty is based around ambushes and enemies ganking your ass. Kill yourself.
>>335011015
I have a 980ti and I have never dropped below 60fps at 1440p and max settings.
I even deliberately bunched up hundreds of the enemies from the graveyard in cathedral of the deep and started throwing pyromancies around to try and make the framerate drop and it didn't lose a single frame
>>335014580
"It looks like a PS2 game" is the new "It looks like an N64 game"
And it was never an accurate description.
It sounds like the frame drops are still a thing for some people. Maybe it's a streaming problem? People with good hardware and dramatic framerate dips, how much ram do you have and what do you have the game installed on an HDD or an SSD?
They ever fix that crashing issue?
Used to have drops to 20fps on the memecard, turns out the game requires desktop composition enabled to work properly. Now I get some nasty stutter on autosaves and any online interactions at all like loading new messages and summon signs. Shit needs to be patched.
I don't want to sound like a consolefag but I've been playing a lot of stuff on ps4 lately and not much on PC and I'm actually enjoying myself a lot more because I don't spend all my time peeved about frame drops and stuff. Sure it effects my experience but it's much easier to bear knowing that's just how it is and taking it as it comes.
>>335014923
It was already patched.
>>335011015
>looks like a ps2 game
lol, stopped reading and cringed
>dips down to 30 FPS with my 980 Ti at times
Well it just dip`s to 50 FPS in my 280x, and most of the time it runs at solid 60.
I'm not a fanboy, I had a nvidia card before this one which was god tier and lasted me a lot of years but yeah, this is what you get for going nvidia, mandatory upgrade every year and a half or new drivers will fuck you up.
>>335014983
To get a few extra frames out of cheap cards, yeah. Everyone is suffering from stutters.
The only thing I have an issue with is that the game frame drops and stutters fucking excessively regardless of whether I'm at the lowest settings or the highest. 980.
Seen videos of it on consoles too and it has same problem.
This is absolutely unacceptable for game like this where a single stutter can get you killed. So to answer your question: no it's not okay which is why I refunded the game and pirated it. I'll rebuy it when/if they fix the problems.
>>335012536
This, except I had a stutter or two when loading between zones.
>>335011015
http://www.darksouls.jp/win_spec.html
I am on recommended specs, only with 16gb of ram and running on ssd.
Used to get sutters only at autosaves before the patch, now it's even worse
>>335015025
>nvidia sabotage older cards
This myth has been thoroughly debunked
>https://youtu.be/iZUshOSWQRo
>>335015120
I run the game on 980/4790k, and before the patch the only very minor stutters I've experienced were when I picked up an item for the first time. It doesn't happen at all now, smooth 60FPS everywhere.
find me a ps2 screenshot that looks like that
>>335015232
Which Windows? SSD or HDD?
why did they make the UI so small? can't see shit when i lose HP
>>335015232
The only thing I can think of that would be the cause of the game shitting itself literally every time anything is loaded or saved is the the SSD speed or the CPU. The SSD it's on is 1Gbps so that's not the issue. The CPU is a 2500k at 4.6 which is getting older but I've literally never had a problem with any other game. Not even something like Witcher 3 on max settings minus hairworks.
A game that looks like this should not be stuttering or frame dropping on my setup with hardly any intensive features available. It especially shouldn't be having those issues on fucking low.
>>335015336
Windows 7, regular WD 1TB HDD.
>>335015427
Weird. What about your driver?
>>335011015

>>335015475

>>335015474
Latest 980 driver. My whole PC is only half a year old, so the HDD is in a pretty good condition.
>>335015612
I've been trying different combinations with my 4690k and a 970 on a HDD, but I can't get it to run completely smooth online. Guess I'll try fresh 7 again.
>>335012467
I've got a 970 and it's not once dipped below 60 fps and everything is on max.
>>335015612
The point he's trying to make is that the transfer speed of the HDD should be causing you issues compared to someone with an SSD multiple times faster than your drive.

Im pretty much 100% sure its the game or the drivers at this point. 670gtx ftw/3770k and i get 10-15 fps on low settings. When i switch to 1600x900 i get 60 fps but when i get to an area with a lot of candles and shit like that it drops again. Everytime i change resolution it runs in 60 for e few minutes amd the drops again. I cant get a stable 60 fps with low settings in fucking 1280x720.
>>335012614
Yes, it does count.
Do you know why?
There is nothing anybody has ever done to any PS2 game to make it look anywhere near this good. Not even Dark Souls 1 good. People just don't actually remember what PS2 games look like.

All the ambushes I've seen so far have been easily handled if you just play smartly and don't charge forward constantly.
I am getting framerate dips on my GTX 760, but it's largely fairly solid.
>(press dodge button when enemy attacks, hit attack button twice, for 50 hours)
You just described every soulsborne game made. Hell, some other anon was complaining that all you do is R1 spam and I've already run across a ton of enemies that poise through normal hits.
So far I'm really digging the fuckton of iframes on dodges. Makes the dodge super useful and allows for generally faster play.
reminder that nvidia planned obsolescence is NOT a meme and installing older drivers/using integrated grafix on laptops almost doubles framerates

The only fact on the table is that I'm running this game in constant 60FPS on my 980, with the latest drivers. Also, if you can't find any credible sources and have to post shit from reddit, I'd suggest you don't post anything at all.
>>335016417
You wouldn't know what it looks like because you can't fucking see.
>>335016651
reddit users are as credible as you, also tried it myself and my intel integrated actually runs the game better than my 820m
Whats with all the casual shitteaters on /v/ since of recent? Has summer begun early or never ended? It sure feels more intense.
The game taxes the CPU heavily, thats what you get for spending $600 in the GPU and $200 in the CPU you ignorant cunts
>>335016629
The fact that from software's pc ports are notoriously bad.
I run perfect 60fps with no stutter on the latest drivers. Its just luck of the draw if the game plays nice with your hardware configuration
>>335016917
/v/ has a ton of casuals man. There was a Deus Ex thread right after a steam sale for the game and a solid majority of the thread was bitching about the game being bad. These people usually get shamed into being quiet but when a major release like this comes out or an older game goes on sale you'll always seem bitching and crying poping up until they eventually drop the game.
This game is almost entirely CPU based.
>>335017108

people are consistently getting better performance with older drivers except from some special snowflakes that apparently are all on /v/ only

>>335015805
What the actual fuck. I just fixed it semi thanks to Reddit. Turned virtual memory to 10000 min 20000 max mb on my harddisk. Also, for some reason geforce experience didnt detect any of my games. I scanned for games and let it optimize ds3. Then i turned lighting and shader to low and now get constant 60 fps even in firelink shrine.
>>335011015
Get a better CPU you cheap shit, or turn off all background programs.
>>335016770
If you're going to try and peddle some tin foil hat tier bullshit at least find an actual decent pc game (in terms of optimisation or quality of the port) to use as evidence.
DaS3 is a turd port and won't run perfectly on any pc that doesn't happen to have the same configuration as the pcs From developed on.
Also I think in your case its memory issue, you don't have enough vram which is slowing the gpu down a lot. Integrated graphics use your main system memory so theres enough space and it runs better
>>335017296

You just proven his point: From used drivers to make the game, Nvidia released new drivers, now the game runs like shit.
NVIDIA, OF 80% GPU MARKET SHARE, INTENTIONALLY RELEASED A DRIVER, THAT RUNS LIKE SHIT WITH DARK SOULS.
Do you seriously believe it is unimaginable for Nvidia to include so much as a switch to turn off experimental algorithms for games that don't support it? How about making sure the developer actually takes advantage of it instead of swapping the foundation out from under them?
How about the idea they put all that fucking money in doing a good job AMD apparently never has to deal with?

I mean I've even read you fags say that The Witcher 3 "looks like an N64 game".

I have a 980 and don't get dips to 30fps but more like 50 which is effectively 30 because of vsync. He was obviously exaggerating.

MGS3 is a third person game though, first person shooters need to have better visuals since stuff is right in your face.
>>335018550
I never played das2 and didn't know it didn't have something like the darkwood grain ring, I thought having items that gave you alternative rolling animations was a standard thing in the souls series, come to find out it only ever existed in das1, I really wish they had something like that for das3, I mean I guess there is the dash weapon art but from what I've seen it's only on daggers. I always thought it would be cool if they had a ring or leggings that allow you to do a lung tuck and roll animation like max payne style.
>>335018692
DERETU DIS

Meanwhile I play the game at 1440p maxed out with ReShade at 60 fps on a GTX 780 TI and i5 4690k @ 4.8ghz. Your rig a shit, OP.
>>335018949
The Carthus rings give your roll different properties. Milkring turns you invisible while rolling and Bloodring grants you additional i-frames at the cost of defense.
>tfw I can run it on 30 fps without drops
Get fucked OP
>>335019028
I know, they are both horrible imho though. the invisibility one is just flashy and has no realy utility and the i-frame one just destroys your defense, I tried using it for awhile and people were cutting me down in two shakes man, I guess it would be worthwhile if you just dumped into vit.
Overclocked 970 here and an i5 at 4.7GHz. Never drops below 60 fps at max 1080p. I bet people who have fps drops are using AMDead CPUs. There's plenty fx 8320/8350 poorfags who buy high end GPUs and complain about fps drops.
>>335019373
I get a drop every time the game loads anything.
t. 980 [email protected] and M.2 SSD.
>>335019373
i7 2600 and GTX 950 here
Still getting drops pretty steadily to 40-50.
The graphical settings excluding the resolution don't even affect the frame rate, this game's really poorly optimized. I almost wish it offloaded more to CPU like Dark Souls 1 did.
