Support NeoGAF

[ref]

30fps lock on cutscenes is ridiculous and super jarring. The game runs great otherwise, except for this:



anyone getting these graphic bugs? happens in game and in cutscenes aswell, just this weird flickering and artifacting

I was getting those too.

Maxed out settings.

Is there an option to disable tessellation? See if that does anything to it.

 

[Corpekata]

Game runs great (aside from 30 FPS cut scenes) but man are the KBAM controls awkward and disappointing.

 

[Wag]

Does the game support 21:9 (ultra-widescreen) resolutions? I have a 3440x1440 display.

 

[unmeaty]

I've had a hard time finding out of this game has ultra WS support, but this site suggests it does.

21:9 UWS Master Race, except when it isn't supported.

 

[danwarb]

Will it be better on my PC or on PS4, do you think. My PC is better than last-gen consoles, lots better in some cases, but my PS4 is probably better for a game like this?

Your PC should be better, but similar. Higher quality setting.

 

[Rhaknar]

Is it some kind of tessellation bug?

What are your system specs out of curiosity? And what kind of performance are you seeing outside of the cutscenes? I see the fps counter there is in the 80s.

i5 4690k 16gb ram 2x gtx970 SLI

yeah it fluctuates from 70s to 80s, sometimes 100s, sometimes down to 60s (in borderless windowed). I actually just switched to fullscreen/vsync to lock it at 60

no idea what causes those glitches, and im also getting a minor stutters now and then, like every...I dunno, 45 seconds? a little itch, like a cd is skipping or something. its annoying

the game itself, apart from tht looks gorgeous and runs great

 

[Squishy3]

Game runs great on a FX 8120 and a EVGA SC 770, aside from the conversations. Those are randomly super stuttery and will sometimes be stuttery even when the FPS counter shows a steady 30.

Thanks, sounds great, except for the glitches. The game doesn't seem to be nearly as CPU bound as the early article suggested.

Posting this here :

HDD stats after 40mins of playing.

Left - before, right - after 40mins.

Game transfers absurd amounts of data. That Denuvo...

 

[Kinthalis]

Posting this here :

We need a frame of reference. 30 gigs in 30 minutes seems like a lot, but if the game is loading large areas because he traveled a lot I cna see that happening. That's loading an 8 gigs buffer about 5 times.

Would like to see a comparison for say Skyrim with mods or Far Cry 4.

Nope. Don't believe it. Something else is going on there.

You guys should request it in this thread on the Geforce forums.

I'm pretty sure that Nvidia is aware of Dragon Age launching soon, but it might help anyway.

So the game doesn't SLI at launch? Is this correct?

If so I am going to rage

 

[Rhaknar]

that is the opposite of correct, that is in fact, incorrect

the game already has a official SLI setting

sorry for the portuguese, but you get the gist

edit: what Qassim said bellow

 

[Chaos17]

Then prove it by doing the same test or you can't because you don't have the game on Pc ?
At least that guy done the test, we won't know if it's really wrong if other people don't do the same test.

Isn't what is that thread for ?
Collecting data to know how the game run on Pc ?

 

[Qassim]

The official Dragon Age: Inquisition profile has SLI compatibility bits for it. Whether or not they're final or most optimal is another question though.

I haven't got the game but we don't know anything about the environment or how the guys PC is set up.

There could be a multitude of reasons for a lot of HDD writes that are not game related.

I would like someone else to run the test. Turn off all processes that aren't needed. Disable the page file and use a program like Process Monitor which can monitor "real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity". That might help to get to the bottom of this issue.

 

[Phamit]

The article in the post just above your's says they weren't able to enable Mantle either in the build they were given. They were expecting it to be available in the final retail build though.

Ok, thank you

It runs okay with a 280x and a fx 8320 on ultra, not everything maxed out, felt like 30 fps and less. I need to check it with afterburner for correct number

 

[Buzzbrad]

Specs:

GPU: AMD 6870

CPU: I7 2600

RAM: 16 GB

Currently I am getting 50 fps on medium settings. The game seems really well optimized.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Anyone else get a crash yet for Error Device Hung?

 

[Lord Phol]

GPU: Nvidia 680GTX 2GB
CPU: i5 3570 @ 3,4 GHz
RAM. 16GB

45-60 on High without tesselation, AA and shadows on medium. Would like to get a stable 60 fps though.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

hopefully dual 290s is enough for 5760x1080

also hopefully the game even works at 5760x1080

 

[cyberheater]

Are you using a AMD graphics card?

 

[Khal_B]

How are people playing the game already? Physical copies? I'm afraid to wander into the OT because of spoilers. Been on a media blackout since it was announced.

I'm skeptical. The guy posted it and then vanished. There's little to no context. He already has insane writes for that drive and we have no point of reference - i.e. what do the hard drive stats look like before and after running another game, what other processes are running, etc. It's immediately being pointed at Denuvo and that may or may not be the case.

That bioware thread is full of completely unsubstantiated claims. Need more info before inciting the lynch mob.

 

[amrod]

so everything max'd out on a 980 @ 2650 res

min fps 30.9
average fps 37.9


Plays nice... For some reason it really reminds me of the new Final Fantasy e3 video

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Let's see if my old SLI 580s can run this properly. I still have faith in my little buddies.

 

[Rhaknar]

turning down tesselation didnt fix the flickering graphic bug, so thats not whats causing it :/

 

[bearythebear]

How would it run with a HD5850 and i5 750?

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I remember Battlefield 4 having flickering issues if you were running on SLI. I believe Dice released a patch for it later.

Is that with MSAA? Because based on what I've seen, that performance doesn't sound too good.

true, I didnt consider it could be a SLI thing. think ill wait for a patch, I got so much shit to play anyway

 

[Tak3n]

l played it on EA early access and thought it looked allright...

Just VPN,d in to boot up the pc version, and my good golly aunt, what a difference (though WTF with the cut scenes)

GTX 980
I5 4670k
12GB ram

everything on Ultra, locked at 60, not a blip and it looks fiiiinnnnneee

Hmm I was hoping for better performance than that..

 

[RulkezX]

For some weird reason the X1 pad doesn't work and I've had 3 crashed where the game has literally just dropped to desktop, no warning, no freeze etc , just drops.

 

[Buzzbrad]

You can run it, probably medium to low.

 

[Denton]

Anyone with 280X ? Is 60 locked possible, with Mantle at least ?

1080p?

 

[Dick Justice]

GTX 770 2GB
i7 4770K OC'd to 4.2GHz
16GB RAM

Running at 1080P, mostly high settings, no MSAA, and SSAO instead of HBAO, framerate is jumpy as hell. Tends to hover around 50-60, but drops as low as 30 in busier scenes, like when you wake up after the Frostback Mountains. Wonder how much a driver update would improve things.

Also, the cutscenes can be stuttery as hell. Even at 30, they sometimes look like they're running at a lower framerate. Disappointed at the decision to cap it.

 

[Murderklok]

Anyone check ram speeds since this is so CPU intensive?

 

[Tak3n]

1080p?

yes. sorry forgot that, I know what you are thinking...damn right a 980 should run it like that at 1080p.... thankfully it seems well optimised

 

[Kinthalis]

Look at his rez. He's at 4K.

Looks like he was banned. Does anyone know why?

 

[Shepard]

1440p,

 

[Guri]

Any ideas on which settings I should use to get 60 fps?

i7 2600k at 4.5 GHz
AMD 7970 3 GB (so I can use Mantle)
16 GB of RAM
1080p

P.S.: I always disable Motion Blur when I can.

 

[Lulubop]

Getting 50-60 everything maxed, game looks alright. Certainly no Ass Creed.

780ti
3570k
@1080p.

 

[razgriz417]

Hmm regarding Denuvo, I found these responses by a bioware employee on the bioware forums
http://forum.bioware.com/topic/519257-denuvo-drm-used-by-dai/?bioware=1

To be clear, Denuvo is not DRM in the sense the DRM stands for Digital Rights Management (or Dogs Reading Magazines, or whatever you prefer). There is nothing in the Denuvo stuff that has to do with accounts or release date checking, or ownership or anything like that. It is not SecuROM. It is not Steamworks. It is not Safedisc, or any of the other DRM solutions that have been in the past. Origin is the DRM for Dragon Age: Inquisition in the exact same manner and settings as it was in Mass Effect 3. Nothing has changed here.

Denuvo is anti-tamper on the executable. This has nothing to do with mods or attempts to change textures or anything like that. Trying to hack the executable to cheat in multiplayer? This is what we are talking about.

Regarding modding

If someone's mod is going to be based on modifying the executable, then yeah, that won't work. If the mod is based on game data, then that has nothing to do with the anti-tamper system.

The mod challenge will be making data that works with the Frostbite engine for DAI.
