Playing at 4K, none of my menu options show up on a lot of the menus.

Yeah, that's "normal". Probably the same thing that's causing the mini map to not work.

Gotta wait for the Great fal'Cie from Beyond to awake.

 

[RK9039]

Yep, that must be what I'm seeing. Wonder what causes that..



Not AA but AF, hmm

Hmm, I had AA on before (x4), turned it off and that glitch went.

Yeah, Durante hasn't fixed this, that's one the bugs in this pre-alpha release ('Probably some stuff somewhere is cut off. I saw some scissor calls and am not dealing with them yet').

Thankfully, item and option discriptions still work. So no big deal here

are you using Garteal's fix?

I finally caved in and got GeDoSaTo compiling a while ago and started looking into this. Still have to get a bit more familiar with your code base but it looks very clean, so well done!

I've redirected the scissorRect which was easy to do and it solved the menu issues. This seems to work fine on my end but there are a couple of other issues still apparent that I'll take a look at tomorrow or something as it's nearly 3AM here now.
To play with the menu fixes, download this dll and place it in your GeDoSaTo folder.

thanks

 

[Levyne]

This may be obvious, but for those of you less versed (like me), I would suggest not putting in 16:10 resolutions for those with those monitors since it just seems to stretch the image, would rather have black bars, yuck.

Here's a 4k (to 1080p downsampled) shot I like.

Edit: Her hair looks weird :/

 

[Omega]

Its kind of sad that we need people like Durante to make PC ports playable. At least pay the dude if you're gonna be lazy and not do it in-house

Great work by you and anyone else who may have helped. Im on mobile so I dont wanna read through a 4 page thread, hurts my eyes

 

[MrChowderClams]

Holy crap, this is stunning @ 4k/60fps. Performance is incredible on my 770/i5 (just some weird stutters when entering a battle). Plus, we get dual audio. Well worth the $10 I paid.

The fix actually causes me a crash on boot sadly.

 

[Xyber]

I put a hashtag in front of clearRenderResolutions

Still only getting 1080p screenshots rather than full resolution for some reason.

I did another session of screenshotting, this time about half of them was saved at the render resolution and half at 1080p.

The fix actually causes me a crash on boot sadly.

Did you restart GeDoSaTo?

nvm, legacy, this works for the menus. Mini map still not working, but who cares. Just press square and you get the map (not that you need it).

Thanks a lot, Garteal!

Every time I try to launch the game with Durante's fix it had a quick flash of black and then crashes?

Try with a lower resolution. Highest I can use (for some reason) is 3811x2144.

Did you close GeDoSaTo before changing the dlls?

I say that because I made that mistake, just restart GeDoSaTo.

EDIT: Beaten

Yeah I tried that and it's a no go.

I am trying 1920x1080

 

[Xyber]

I am trying 1920x1080

Weird. Try some other resolutions and see if anything works. Might be some other program interfering with GDST too.

 

[ShinobiFist]

I am trying 1920x1080

I can't get it to even run at full screen, only in window.

 

[Anteater]

my game crash even without gedosato :/ just woke up trying to run the game for the first time, lol

edit: fixed it, added the ffxiiiimg.exe under data execution prevention under system properties > advanced > system performance and it stops crashing.

 

[Marceles]

If early DSFix and early GeDoSaTo are anything to go by, it could actually be a GeDoSaTo thing.

Same thing happens here, but only when using gedosato.

It's probably because of GDST, but hopefulle Durante can fix it somehow. I got no crashes without it earlier.

Aww, I was hoping it wasn't. Guess I'll have to play it when I'm not multitasking until there's a fix.

 

[hlhbk]

That is exactly what is happening to me. When I just started it in Windowed mode it starts.

Thanks, and it works beautifully.

 

[Grief.exe]

Do you play on a 1080p screen?

If so, that's just how GeDoSaTo works. It does the downsampling internally with the scaling type you choose (bilinear, bicubic or lanczos) and you'll just get the final downsampled image on your screen. When you take screenshots, it'll come downsampled already.

The idea is that you can get photoshop quality downsampling in-game if GeDoSaTo handles it instead of your drivers.

Hitting the take fullscreenshot button should take a screen prior to Gedosato downsampling to your monitor's resolution.

 

[Levyne]

Not sure I want to grab the menu fix if durantes gonna address it later D:

Well, shit, I don't know what I'm talking about then, sorry.

No reason not to, just update it when he releases his next update.

 

[Sub_Level]

Correct.

Yeah, I'll grab it

Here's a fairly boring webm, sorry about the bars and steam notification lol

[CrunchyFrog]

And Durante gets another notch in his tag belt. All too fitting for a graphics god amongst mortals.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Quick question. Do I have to turn off AA and AF from Nivida control panel in order for this to work correctly?

 

[Levyne]

Quick question. Do I have to turn off AA and AF from Nivida control panel in order for this to work correctly?

No, but I'm still trying to isolate what exactly causes the "eyeliner" bug.

 

[Gbraga]

Not AF, AA I'm not sure if you have to, but it's certainly overkill.

 

[Peltz]

As Durante talks about in his PCGamer article:

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-features-pc-gamers-wantan-open-letter-to-developers-and-gamers/

Arbitrary resolutions support should be trivial to implement. I think it is just a case that some developers just simply don't understand the importance of arbitrary resolutions support on a PC game and how easy it is to implement.

But I wasn't just referring to arbitrary resolutions. 1080p is fairly standard, even on consoles now. To come out with 720p res port on PC is just a bit silly in 2014.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Going to turn off AA. I'm trying to figure out how to run it in full screen without crashing. I think by changing the settings to 1920x1080p all across is what might have screw me. Anyway to put the text settings back to default?

 

[Eyothrie]

Quick question. Do I have to turn off AA and AF from Nivida control panel in order for this to work correctly?

I noticed that with AA and AF on in the control panel, it makes each characters' eyelashes and hair look riduculous. I turned it off.

 

[iosefe]

does this support 16x10 resolutions? the generic ones? like 1680x1050?

 

[Levyne]

It will stretch the image if you put in a 16:10 resolution

You can see the stretching on the minimap orb.

thats unfortunate. how was the top image taken?

 

[Levyne]

thats unfortunate. how was the top image taken?

Just set the rendering resolution to 3840x2160 (it was actually the default setting)

Edit: Oh, I misunderstood the question, I took the images just with fraps.

 

[RK9039]

Yeah my launcher crashes now.

 

[Aselith]

Could you be a bro and make the space requirement like 50% smaller too?

 

[Levyne]

Here's another webm for fun

http://a.pomf.se/odznve.webm

 

[Red Comet]

So has anybody managed a constant 60 FPS at 4K?

With my 780 Ti it's mainly defaulting to 30 FPS, but occasionally goes up to 60. I'm debating whether or not to cap it at 30 and play at 4K or to turn down the resolution a bit and play at 60 fps.

At 4k it's pretty much always around 58-60FPS on my 970. At least it was in the starting area(Hanging Edge) where I tried it.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Square Enix clearly didn't read Durante's article.

 

[Red Comet]

At 4k it's pretty much always around 58-60FPS on my 970.

Huh, I wonder if that's because of the extra GB of VRAM or if something else is going on that I'm not getting 60.

Seeing as the games Durante's had to fix up are Japanese, I guess it's safe to assume that they have no idea that PC gamers want choice of resolution. The Last Remnant is a weird outlier, since it offered great PC options. But is it naiveté, or what?

 

[Levyne]

At 4k I'm getting 45-60 on my 780 for the more hectic battles, though outside of battle it's staying much more towards 60. You might be inadvertently forcing some sort of v-sync that takes it to 30 when it goes below 60.

 

[Eyothrie]

Speaking of VRAM, what is everyone's VRAM usage? More than 2gb?

That makes sense, considering I've not seen one screen tear.
