you guys think there should be a separate PC OT?

Maybe just for the technical stuff.

 

[UrbanRats]

decrypt is done..









.. now to 3 more hours of download (going at 789 kb/s, some of highest i've ever been, btw).

 

[JohngPR]

I just figured it would cause a lot of thrashing / stuttering in Skyrim since it'll be DLing and installing the game in the background while I play the game.

Ah ok...I've never heard of that happening with Skyrim.

That sucks.

 

[haikira]

Uh guys I'm playing the game now....watching the intro...

Jelly.

 

[Smokey]

Uh guys I'm playing the game now....watching the intro...

The rest of yall able to play it...? it's only 11:20pm central where I'm at

 

[haikira]

Maybe just for the technical stuff.

Sounds good to me.

 

[JohngPR]

My decrypt is at 48%

Made me some coffee, hoping I don't get tired anytime soon....let's do this! Come decrypt...no whammies!

 

[UrbanRats]

The game is unlocked here.

 

[haikira]

Since I've played the first few chapters on the console. I'll try and post some quick specs, impressions and screenies.

decryption is at 30%.

 

[Demon Ice]

Or start up Skyrim alt+tab out and resume download. Then go back to Skyrim, ya get the best of both worlds my friend. Steam will initially stop D/ling when you start playing another game, but the alt+tab trick works around it.

No dice on that trick for me, I alt tabbed out but when I go to resume the DL I get a popup in Steam saying "Exit any running games before attempting to verify game cache"

 

[Sethos]

Mouse feels sluggish as fuck, mouse accel. ?

Game runs perfect, maxed out ( Only 4xMSAA so far ), GPUs are barely working.

Tried it, without V Sync?

 

[Jtrizzy]

Wonder if any PC reviews will hit tonight?

Naize....

What are your system specs?

 

[Salsa]

holy shit YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssSSS so glad to hear

 

[Sethos]

lol at maxed out, HDAO, 8xMSAA I'm using 6300MB VRAM out of 81xx

 

[Smokey]

Everything maxed takes 4GB of VRAM :O

(I have 2x 3GB 580s)

 

[JohngPR]

Whoa...WTF...my decrypt went from 49% to done in a minute.

0_o

It's performing the first time setup now.

 

[Demon Ice]

Wait what?? My game files just started decrypting...but my DL was 60% done...I'm confused. Is it because it's 12:30 here now?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Ah shit, 100% decrypted and now I'm downloading 3 more GB. Have to call it quits tonight because of work.

 

[Revolutionary]

Holy shit, the Max Payne 1 multiplayer skin is the greatest thing ever. http://steamcommunity.com/id/bkarevolutionary/screenshot/596972261289252438

 

[EagleEyes]

I just tried to boot the game up and i'm getting an error message that says Service Pack 1 is required to run this game. Any ideas?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

decrypt faster motherfucker!

 

[Teknoman]

Hopefully someone with some less than current specs gives it a shot

 

[Demon Ice]

Ah shit, 100% decrypted and now I'm downloading 3 more GB. Have to call it quits tonight because of work.

Ok so this is normal? It'll decrypt before it's completely downloaded? Phew. Decryption's stalled at 2% for me.

 

[Salsa]

yeah dont worry. Happened to me as well

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Ok so this is normal? It'll decrypt before it's completely downloaded? Phew.

Seems like it. Mine said it was fully downloaded and ready to play though so I don't know what is up with that.

Those screens look fucking stellar though, can't wait.

 

[Alxjn]

I just tried to boot the game up and i'm getting an error message that says Service Pack 1 is required to run this game. Any ideas?

Got that same error, so I checked windows updates and it looks like I didn't have the service pack 1 update installed. I'm hoping this was the problem.

 

[JohngPR]

Not sure what classifies as less than current anymore but I have

3.2 Ghz Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
8GB RAM
Radeon HD 6950 2GB


I canceled the first time setup because I forgot to verify files first...6% done...

Everything maxed takes 4GB of VRAM :O

(I have 2x 3GB 580s)

Motherfucker. This is why the 590 should be 4 gigs standard.

yeeeeeeeeeah not so hopeful now

 

[TheThunder]

lol at maxed out, HDAO, 8xMSAA I'm using 6300MB VRAM out of 81xx

wow

Playing on multi monitor ?

 

[Alex]

Argh, wrong thread.

I'm not looking forward to downloading this thing, though, 30 some odd gigs? Between betas and shit like this my even fairly large bandwidth cap is creeping up.

 

[Smokey]

wow

Playing on multi monitor ?

He's playing at 2560x1600

Motherfucker. This is why the 590 should be 4 gigs standard.

yeeeeeeeeeah not so hopeful now

I'm at 1080p btw

 

[Salsa]

Im running a single 560ti on an i5 2500k @ stock.

Will probably play it on my TV wich means 1360x768 though. Hopefully that saves me.

 

[EatChildren]

Gonna max it on my single GTX 570 with less than 1.5GB VRAM.

Like I give a fuck.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

I am getting negative crossfire scaling

12.6 Preview Drivers with Latest CAPs

Getting well over 100 FPS maxed but very stuttery and sluggish. Both GPU's are barely being used. Read some of the recent HardOCP Crossfire/SLI reviews to read about this issue with sluggish performance but high framerates on AMD GPU's



So I turned Crossfire off and suddenly I am getting better performance than with crossfire enabled.

Well done AMD, your drivers continue to amaze me.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

Motherfucker. This is why the 590 should be 4 gigs standard.

Videocards nowadays will draw from system memory if needed.. so its no biggy. Just have tons of memory. I'm sitting on 16gb main memory.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I'll be playing 1280x720 via Windowed mode - should be less strenuous on my 5770. I don't mind playing in windowed, especially if it allows me to crank it up a tad more.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

post more screens GAF!

 

[Demon Ice]

Ha, 1 GB 5770 here, this should be interesting.

Edit: 1680x1050

 

[Salsa]

post more screens GAF!

yeah seriously!

no spoilers though

 

[Gaogaogao]

Ha, 1 GB 5770 here, this should be interesting.

Edit: 1680x1050

tell us how it goes.

You have that backwards, my friend. Windowed mode takes up more resources than fullscreen.

 

[haikira]

Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz
PNY GTX 580 1536MB
G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit

Running like a god damn hot knife, through butter.

This has been a complaint with multi GPU setups for ages on both nVidia and AMD. Not sure why people buy that shit when EVERYONE has sli/crossfire issues at some point.

 

[Salsa]

man that memory bar number thing brings me nightmares of my old PC with GTAIV..

 

[Jtrizzy]

dl speeds..so slow. I wish there was a way I could hog my bandwidth. I have a feeling the connection I'm sharing is being wasted on some torrent shit from the other users while they sleep. My speeds vary from 50kbs to 1.2 mbps.

 

[jet1911]

I hope my 560 will be able to maintain a stable 60fps.
