Crazy FPS drops at 1920 x 1080 on HD 7970. Damn

 

[Zeliard]

What the fuck, I can't even load the game up past the intro. It just sits on the first loading screen forever. This is without Durante's fix. Anyone else get this issue? Turned off Fraps and D3D Overrider as well.

 

[Clydefrog]

Yes, me. Working fine using MotionJoy.

HEY! go to sleep! >:|

 

[Felix Lighter]

Full screened windowed mode works much better. I'm cheering up a bit!

I have a utility that makes full screen windowed mode work for almost every game. Anyone with an AMD card with FPS issues try that and see if it improves.

Still getting drops though

Why did I go with AMD? I'm a fool.

 

[GhostRidah]

The game runs worst than the console version for me holy hell.

At least it looks sweet, thanks Durante!

 

[Deepo]

Just so I'm sure I've said this clear enough:

Thank you so very very much for doing this, Durante. I hope you get stinking rich from donations and a job at FROM or something like that

BASED DURANTE!

This game is *stunning* at full res.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Thank you so much Durante! I'm playing with a MSI Cyclone 6850 Power Edition and while I don't check my fps (else I get picky about it...) it runs fine from my personal feel on 1080p!

Now I just need to force myself to play the game, from what I played so far it seems quite awesome the problem is just I usually can't take horror games and the likes very well (even the caves in Oblivion and Skyrim crept me out many times) but I simply didn't want to pass on such a great RPG and with the ingame brightness set to 10 I think it will work for me xD

I wish I could donate but sadly I don't have any means of online payment besides Paysafecards

And I aswell think you should get a job somewhere for this and I hope you get the money you dearly deserve, ideally Namco should acknowledge your patch and give you a percentage of their income as the publisher but we know that won't ever happen And I don't blame FROM in the slightest, they should get all the money too just Namco can cut back here

 

[alysonwheel]

Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 3.7ghz, GTX560. Running it at 1440p on a 1080p monitor. Looks fantastic. Locked 30fps so far -- at least, no framerate drops that I've noticed.

Beautiful work.

 

[Sethos]

Dumping this here as well.

Here's 3 shots in 2560x1600, with 5120x3200 used in the DSfix.ini

Just downsample the hell out of the game with the DSfix, most GPUs are barely doing any work at the locked 30FPS.

 

[Forkball]

Of course there's some problem with AMD cards. I'll try it anyways though.

Yup, those look real good.

 

[ctrayne]

.

 

[Dandy J]

Anyone notice that the game only runs at 2 fps rates? 30 and 15. If it ever drops from 30, it locks to 15.

 

[luiztfc]

Kinda of a stupid question, but does anyone know if it is possible to run Durante's fix with fullscreen?

 

[Zeliard]

I feel so left out with my shitty performance. Tired lower res settings in the DSfix, but nothing above stock resolution is running well.

Heh, at least you're able to get into a gameplay setting. My game decides to stop working after character creation.

 

[TheExodu5]

Just so no one gets too excited: the distant LOD effect appears to run using a 1024*720p framebuffer, or so I would assume. Backgrounds look very pixelated.

 

[GJS]

Beautiful. The difference when you go from playing upscaled to native is always great, it's like putting on a pair of glasses for short sightedness.

 

[PixelHorror]

Ehm. How do I do that downsample stuff? I'm running the game at 1080p using his fix

 

[antitrop]

I remember hearing something about if the game detects that you're running below a certain FPS for some time it will boot you back to the main menu.

Has anyone run into this yet?

 

[Felix Lighter]

Link please?

I think there are several similiar utilities but this is the one I use. I always have it running and I just have to press CTRL-Enter after I launch a game in windowed mode at my native resolution and it adjust the window and hides the taskbar.

Never the less, I'm getting console like performance at 1920x1080 right now with an HD 7970 and I'm super bummed out.

 

[Minsc]

Kinda of a stupid question, but does anyone know if it is possible to run Durante's fix with fullscreen?

Yup, works fine that way for me.

ATI card here, and performance without the fix is poor, 30s, 20s, and even 10s. After running the fix, it stayed at a steady 30.

So if nothing else, the fix made my game go from unplayable to perfectly smooth (well as much as you can hope at 30fps) at an increased internal resolution too.

 

[zkylon]

Durante you are a fucking genius.

Runs at a solid 30 FPS so far on my i5 2500k with a Nvidia Geforce 560 GTX Ti (not the 448 cores one) and 4 gigs of RAM. Gonna pospone my playthrough until you sort out the text issues, but amazing work man, I'll be sure to send a couple bucks your way.

 

[drizzle]

Anybody using a Wireless Controller?

I can bring up the Games for Windows guide menu with the guide button, but the game doesn't detect any input.

I'm thinking they pulled an Ubisoft and don't have the proper drivers for the Wireless Controller?

Edit: Also, this game seems to suffer the same issue that Iron Brigade has (but almost no other Games for Windows live game has), in that it hard closes when asked to quit, without quitting the Games for Windows Live software, which just remains running for a while, preventing you to quickly restart the game.

Thanks, will try that.

Same here with performance, no matter what resolution it just runs poorly, amd card here as well.

ATI card here too. Mine wasn't unplayable before the fix, but after applying it I've had barely any framerate problems. Go figure.

try removing any other controllers/joysticks or whatever you have installed...I had to remove my wiimote before it would work

 

[RooMHM]

This shot is without the fix right? hmm?
Is there a certain type of distance fog that blurs everything farther than 2 meters away? D:

I used your post in the OT for screenshot examples; looks fucking amazing.!

 

[drizzle]

Yes, that was my next guess. I'm testing the wired controller now, but the Wiimote sometimes messes up with controller detection on some games.

I guess it only likes the first controller on the machine, then?

Edit: yep, that made it work. The trappings of low budget porting..

Looks great.

 

[ipitydatfu]

dawww baby sif

 

[Felix Lighter]

Downsampling from 2560 x 1600 to 1920 x 1080 has no affect on performance. Some areas run perfectly. Right now its running great.

 

[Durante]

Just so no one gets too excited: the distant LOD effect appears to run using a 1024*720p framebuffer, or so I would assume. Backgrounds look very pixelated.

I think they're running at 512*360 actually. I can probably fix that.

(I can't sleep, too excited. But I also can't do any useful coding at this point - sucks!)

Wait, hold up, the fix is essentially a performance patch too! Wow.

Praise be Durante!

I'm really trying to hold off getting on PC for a little bit longer, still playing other games right now, but that game release smell is so strong with this one. Heck I only recently got a copy of Demon's Soul for my PS3.

[Felix Lighter]

It suddenly running much smoother. I did disable motion blur but I have no idea if that helped or not. I'm kind of rambling.

 

[Clevinger]

No, seriously, we need to start a petition for this.

 

[Zeliard]

So I checked game cache through Steam and it failed to validate 2 files that total to..... 1.6 gigs.

Impressive.

 

[iNvid02]

i think this is 5760x3240 downsampled to 1080p - it was hitting 75% useage of my 690

gonna wait for the text fix though, im guessing im gonna need that

Isn't running on a lower resolution kind of an intended effect to give the illusion of DOF? I actually find the effect pretty neat if done correctly.

 

[Forever]

So really, how exactly did one man manage to make all of From Software and Namco Bandai look like fools within half an hour?

This man better be drowning in job offers soon.

 

[Alex]

Fantastic work, way quicker than I'd ever hoped as well, I just hope that we can eventually find some solution to the messages as I'd imagine it effects the online ones as well?

So really, how exactly did one man manage to make all of From Software and Namco Bandai look like fools within half an hour?

They swapped excuses from ignorance to system parity, so who even knows at this point.

 

[gdt]

Too low for the higher res though.

Actually, I guess Durante can remove DOF if he wants too.

 

[Durante]

Yes. But I need to make it run at eg. 960x540 when the game is set to 1920x1080.

There are quite a few people out there that could do this. Won't say no to interesting job offers though
