Anyone else have unbelievable slow down in the emblem customization if they use words from the phonetic alphabet? Such a weird glitch.

Yeah, I posted about that. Hopefully they patch it soon unless someone else knows of a fix.

Yeah no, it doesn't, same as GZ.
Don't expect it to be fixed, since if it were to be, it would have fixed it in between GZ and TPP.

The awful thing is it continues into the main game if your emblem uses any of those parts until you go back and remove them. There was a patch this morning but it didn't fix it >.<
Annoying to see all those controller symbols all the time.

I hate how the controls are presented. I don't want to use a controller. When I got D-Walker I couldn't figure out how to switch to speed mode because all the controls are presented with the controller. Super annoying.
I eventually caved and switched to a controller after having trouble sneaking up to a guard on keyboard, but once I get into a gunfight I go back to mouse+kb

It's funny how they only bothered to do conversions for half of the prompts -
the solution is to dual wield a game pad and a mouse in this case it seems
Downsampling hard is about the only thing that's gonna alleviate that. Once you get into gameplay though it's not so horrible, it just looks really chunky up close.

Any other problems with that card in other games?
The problem I have with it is that it's effectively a camera effect. I have excellent vision in real life, and shit does not get so fucking blurry if something is behind/further away than my focal point, and things aren't blurry unless it's litterly inches away from my face. DOF is far too exaggerated and just makes things blurry for the sake of making them blurry.

Yeah, i got a boatload of slowdown... I thought my system was about to flatline.

Yeah, the hair in this game looks like play-dough.
With SLI 970 you damn well should

With my OC'd 970's I'm having no issue pushing 2880x1600 w/ everything Max +HBAO
You've definitely got headroom to downsample.
Don't only dx 9 games work with that?
Oh yeah I think you're right. Then I guess the only way to get full res screenshots would actually be print screen then, right?
Everything but Lighting and Shadows at Max, Boardless no Vsync, with an average ~55fps, practically 60fps 80% of the time.

I am kind of surprised at the rather low quality textures the game uses in a lot of places. There have been a ton of scenes where shit has looked pretty rough. Geometry is also often pretty meh, but that's what you get with a cross gen game. Otherwise it's pretty stellar and still quite good looking overall.
Did an all day marathon yesterday, super fun, but all those slow ass helicopter rides we're draining my soul. Can't wait to get home and play some more.

Anyone know if that's true? I'd like to turn in-game DOF off but keep it for cut scenes.

Mods should hopefully be coming soon.
Looking forward to trying to disable FXAA and seeing how SMAA does in game.
I want a FoV mod before anything else.

Was confirmed by peeler on steam forums. DOF and some other effects cannot be turned off for cutscene s.

Popping in to ask a question:
How's the SLi performance in this? My 4790k and 980tis are ready.

My EVGA GTX 960 FTW card seems to be handling the game pretty dang well.
Have it paired with an AMD FX-8350 and a single stick of 8GB DDR3 running at 2048x1152 with everything on Extra High except for Effects and Post Processing which is at High. Have HBAO+ enabled via NCP and AO ingame disabled.
Looks like a consistent 60FPS in the Prologue, although there was some odd slowdown during one of the cutscenes (

hiding under beds with Ishmael and watching patients get executed resulted in some massive frame drops for a bit but then recovered quickly

Is there some advantage to running borderless fullscreen aside from triple buffering? I'm using a GSYNC monitor, so that would make it pointless unless there's some other benefit.

Ever since unlocking the ability to expand the mother base(about 6 or so mission in I think) I've getting stuck at a black screen after it finishes loading. Even restarting the game and hitting continue just gets me the black screen. I've reinstalled the game and just download the beta patch but nothing is fixing it... And the game was working just fine before.

Updating.
Since i´ve seen some questions regarding the 290x performance. Upped all the settings to max. At 1080p. Still a perfectly locked 60fps. Feels good man.
Started on lower settings, because i had a 7870 the last few years and i hate when i have framerate issues, so i always started on lower settings. Still a bit paranoid about it lol.
High settings (hbao+ and very high textures) , ranges from 30 to 60 fps, so better than ground zeroes.
CPU: Q6600 at 3.2GHz
GPU: GTX 670 4GB
6GB RAM
At 1920x1200. Far exceeding my expectations. The prologue being closed off netted me 60 fps locked for most of it. Super impressed.

I had the framerate take a dive there too.
I have this issue as well, max settings and this occurs.

Sometimes during cutscenes it drops for no reason too.

30 fps locked no frame loss. If i dont lock to 30 its going around 39-45 but i dont like occasional frame drops so 30 lock.
While GZ ran medium 30 not even higher even something were low

That sounds like a driver problem, what version are you using? I'm on 15.8 beta driver and it's been fine.

I didn't have a frame rate display turned on, but it definitely felt like it was holding 60 the whole the time. I'm usually really sensitive to frame rate drops.
Do keep in mind that I'm using a G-Sync monitor, which allows for variable frame rates without stuttering or tearing. It may have dropped some and I just didn't notice it.
Just for reference, I'm using an i5 2500k @ 4.2 Ghz, 16GB 1600 Mhz RAM, a GTX 970 and I'm playing the game on an SSD.

It happens when the game renders another viewport, it is just a temporary thing for some reason.
According to the Geforce Guide, that is how the in-game DOF toggle functions. Apparently does not affect cutscenes.

It does the same thing in Ground Zeroes. Seems to be happening since switching to Windows 10 but I may be imagining things.
I updated the driver to whatever the current released version is but this beta may be worth checking out. Do you have a link to the beta driver or can I update it to a beta from the driver utility? Thanks for the tip.
Q6600 while not really comparable to new processors still a beast. I actually just upgraded to a 5930K from a Q6600.

I'll have to try this when I get home, but I've seen online that people are saying it's connected to the online aspect. Maybe try disconnecting from the servers when you go to edit and see if that helps things?
Thanks, bruv!
Yes, I've definitely experienced those sub 20fps dips. Call me extremely picky and immature, but not being able to achieve an absolutely locked 60fps is pretty annoying. Most gameplay sits anywhere between 56-60fps even at 1080p/max settings/hbao+ (dips while panning the camera, or streaming assets, which happens often), and that one
extraction bit at the end of the first act was just atrocious in terms of performance. Galloping through the fog with those weirdos jumping around and shooting at us was pretty choppy to say the least.

Currently been playing on two machines.

GTX 970

16gb DDR3 ram

Games is running flawlessly. I have noticed that screen resolutions below 1080p are displaying weird proportions on ky projector though. 720p, and the next several options are displaying horizontally squished, for example.
Work
2x GTX 980ti in SLI
i7 4790K unlocked quad core HT 4Ghz

4K resolution
Settings maxed - I was getting about 45fps during the intro.
Ambient occlusion and shadows turned to high, everything else maxed - Generally 60fps, but I've been getting frame drops in certain scenarios. In particular one chase scene caused drops as low as 35. Fairly solid otherwise. The game looks gorgeous in 4K.
