52 Canadian bucks in my Steam wallet.

Atelier Sophie is 33.

Do I work on my backlog and wait for a sale, or do I treat myself?

No pre-order/launch discount means I can wait a bit. No reason to get Atelier right away when I still have Zestiria and Disgaea 2 to finish.

More importantly, I can't get over how awesome it is that I can mention those three games in the same sentence in a Steam thread. All that's missing is Persona...

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I wish I could play Marvel vs Cap right now.

Captain America Kills the Marvel Universe?

 

[Sarcasm]

wouldn't Disk Write errors mean an issue with the drive itself?...doesn't that mean the drive is failing?

Are you getting disk write errors? That's been the cause of it for me a lot lately.

Your disk is dying. Better backup shit.

 

[Nabs]

Captain America Kills the Marvel Universe?

That sounds about right.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Captain America Kills the Marvel Universe?

I know what they can call it...

Captain America: Civil War

totally original idea...

 

[gngf123]

Are you getting disk write errors? That's been the cause of it for me a lot lately.

Not that I know of.

Restarting Steam occasionally fixes it too, so it's not too bad, but still annoying.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I don't think Warhammer is for me. This is kinda boring.

 

[Annubis]

Your disk is dying. Better backup shit.

This is my worst fear and why I have yet to embrace SSD.

 

[Sarcasm]

I thought there was a GeDoSaTo thread?

I have added Sophie and the ini but I can't get it to downsample, but ingame at least GeDOSaTo shows up as running.

But not downsampling.

 

[Nyteshade517]

don't you mean...Borehammer™

[Jawmuncher]

That pretty much nails it

Time for our biannual Tim Sweeney vs Microsoft thread.

 

[Knurek]

So yeah... Framepacing issues, very noticeable when panning the camera left/right:

Switching to borderless windowed seems to have fixed them a bit, but required a bit more GPU power than exclusive fullscreen.

Durante, any compatibility bits needed for SGSSAA?

 

[someguyinahat]

I don't think Warhammer is for me. This is kinda boring.

I once walked into a Games Workshop, thinking it was for all tabletop RPG games, and asked for D&D materials. The response I got from the people in there made me determined never to play a Warhammer game.

I can get it to load, but I can't downsample. What did you do?

 

[Wok]

What is this tool to graph the framerate over time?

Edit: It must be "Special K" ( https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK ), but I have no clue.

 

[Last Baron]

wouldn't Disk Write errors mean an issue with the drive itself?...doesn't that mean the drive is failing?

I've tested it across all of my drives and still the error persists, but I'm not getting any signs of failure anywhere else so it's gotta be something with Steam. I did find this video about how to fix it on a game by game basis that works for me when a download is particularly stubborn. Usually I can keep resuming the download until it gets through.

 

[FLD]

Yeah, it's Kaldaien's core tool for his mods. It's what the Zestiria and Berseria fixes are based on.

 

[Knurek]

I'm running at 1080p with SGSSAAx8 added in the Nvidia Inspector - seems to be enabled, because the picture is so clean, but I'd appreciate if Durante shared his profile here.
But I had no problem running 4k DSR resolution previously.

 

[Tektonic]

I didn't end up buying Namco bundle last week.
I didn't see the need to buy star wars bundle this week.
I cancelled my humble monthly bundle on Monday (after having bought it since its inception)

Am i free from humble, or is my steam waning?

Spoiler

I replaced humble monthly with PSPlus

 

[Wok]

So it does not work for every other game? Too bad!

Does DSR still make everything else small like overlay?

 

[Knurek]

Does DSR still make everything else small like overlay?

Standard Steam Overlay? Yes
Big Picture Mode? No.

TZfix and TBfix are game specific (Zestiria and Berseria).
SpecialK works with (almost) every game using D3D9+ or OpenGL. For Steam games, it adds PSN/X360 achivement unlock sound among other things.

Game doesn't even see the higher reso with DSR enabled -.-

You'll be back.....they always come back.

 

[Sarcasm]

Yea that doesn't happen. Unless 1.2 and 1.5 is not enough in DSR.

 

[Knurek]

If you have 1080p screen, you need 1.78 for 1440p and 2.00 for 4k.

 

[Sarcasm]

Turned both on, got one option now

With DSR it runs tiny windowed regardless what I do. I give up!

 

[gngf123]

I'm also getting framerate problems in Atelier Sophie. It's 60 most of the time but seemingly randomly sometimes drops really hard to 15-20 for a couple of seconds.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Durante has forsaken us

 

[Branson]

So steam is being weird for everyone else too?

 

[Nabs]

It's Tuesday evening. Weirdness is expected.

 

[Shalashaska]

Yeah it was a bit weird for me for a while but then I remembered it's Tuesday. Although Twitter is giving me problems too.

Did you try changing the process priority to High? I've also forbidden it from using 2 of my cores, now the CPU usage doesn't go more than 50%, and the game still runs great. Other than this, i don't have any other technical issues with the game so far.

As for the game itself, it's indeed a very relaxing experience (although i play on DESPAIR difficulty level ), especially coming from Tales of Berseria, where both story and gameplay are a lot more intense.

 

[gngf123]

I didn't! I'll do that and try again.

 

[Genki]

Played Kero Blaster a few years ago and enjoyed it. I thought the zangyou mode they added was simply a hard mode, but it's basically a free expansion pack! Just finished it and was really impressed with it. Can't believe it's sitting at 13K on Steamspy...

 

[Ozium]

I don't think Warhammer is for me. This is kinda boring.

check out Ryse: Son of Rome

 

[Battlechili]

Atelier is a very relaxing game; its so cozy beautiful. The graphics aren't super detailed, but the character models at the very least clearly have a lot of effort put into them. The music is beautiful as well, and the 60fps make the game really pleasant on the eyes.

 

[Teggy]

Woo, finally finished up RE6 and now know all of its deep dark secrets

Spoiler

except for who was coming out of that cocoon at the end.

With a Nvidia GPU, some of the spikes are because of the GPU stats in the OSD.

More specifically, by NVIDIA's GPU monitoring. It's busted in recent drivers. Press Ctrl + Shift + G to turn tha toff.

It's not perfect, far from it, but it's not that bad too.

First pic is while turning the camera, second pic is while quiet.

SGSSAA wise, I think Durante mentioned before that it's just enhancing the game's MSAA (instead of overriding), no bits required.

 

[Hereafter]

Damn, this game looks even more awful with this lazy "old-school" shader



Also grab this, thank me later

Thanks but I played them all when they first came out

 

[Atraveller]

I don't think Warhammer is for me. This is kinda boring.

Were you talking about Total War?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Were you talking about Total War?

Yeah. Forgot to be more specific

 

[Atraveller]

Yeah. Forgot to be more specific

I've only started playing it yesterday, so far it's usual TW stuff with fantasy settings and hero skill management. Is this your first Total War game?

 

[Momentary]

Atelier Sophie runs at whatever frame rate you want.
I've got the game running at 4K with SGSSAA x8 and still getting 130-144 FPS. The game's framerate limiter seems to be going a bit crazy though. I don't feel the effects of it though.

***Images resized to 1440p***

I will say this. The game is VERY well optimized on my end. There are games that look way less demanding than this that would send my system to a CRAWL if I used SGSSAAx8.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Yep, never touched the series before this.

 

[Tall4Life]

Humble EducationDeVos Bundle.

Play such classic indie games as:

2+2 = 5

one of my favorite radiohead songs, DeVos has good taste!

 

[Teggy]

Now that I finished RE6, I can't wait to play RE7 and find out what happened next for Leon, Chris, Sherry and Ada!
