Well, if you are feeling like it, you can opt in to the patch 2 right now. They cloned the RC3 branch into patch 2 branch and it isn't password protected. They didn't push it to public yet, but you can opt in by going to the application properties and choosing the branch from the beta menu.

Not on my end.
Nothing on my end.
However I have noticed a Patch2 beta in the Betas tab.
Edit: Patch2 Beta is 626.2MB

That's progress I suppose. But, 626.2MB can't possibly include the alleged "high" settings for textures. That is, if they're not just renaming things.

Here are the settings now.
Still seems like it's using all available fast memory which is a shame.

it's fucking ridiculous, especially if the game is just running at 1080p (going by those settings) and with the nvidia gameworks stuff off
Of course it is. PS4 "normal" textures should be at 2GB max on the PC. A PC has both VRAM and RAM while a PS4 has just one memory pool, but apparently they didn't optimize textures to use both memory types, and shoved them all into the VRAM.
Very disappointing.
Why even bother with this patch if it's still gonna eat up vram like that?
By the time this game performs well Rocksteady's next game will be out.
They might be trying to load a larger number of textures upfront to mitigate some of the streaming stutter? That wouldn't be so bad.

I'm done with Warner Bros forever after this shitshow. I'll either pick your games up used on consoles or under $10 on PC when its 75% off

I don't see how 4gb for 1080p is unreasonable.
Anyway, downloading now but I'm not expecting miracles, not with 620mb.
At least I will be able to play without this atrocious film grain.
Because those are console textures and a PC has two memory pools, not one like consoles. I got 2GB VRAM and 16GB RAM, and 8GB RAM is usually the standard for gaming PC's these days. They should most certainly make use of it for textures.

it can be assumed that the 5ish gigs on consoles was enough to handle everything at 1080p so requiring the entirety of a 4 gig video card solely for matching the consoles is absurd. It would be the first game ever to require 4 gig vid cards for 1080p at those settings

You've been able to refund on Steam since the release day of this game. Assuming you've purchased it on Steam that is. I know that at least GMG allows refunds for it as well.
At least try the patch before bitching up another storm. Jesus Christ.

4GB of Memory @ 1080p is not horribly unreasonable. If those textures are the same as the PS4 version... then it is somewhat questionable.
What is the performance looking like?`Does DOF still scale with resolution (Iol)?

So it's not worth even downloading this beta patch thing?

MGSV will keep me busy for a month and then plenty of other titles will release.
WB doesn't deserve a cent from PC gamers. People thought MKX was bad but then they followed it up with an even worse port, arguably one of the worst of all time. If WB doesn't care about PC gamers why should we care about their games.

Hopefully the former
They did say they were going to optimize Normal textures RAM, right? At the same time when they said they will include High textures on top.

That sounds promising.
My wife tells me performance is much improved, with hardly any drops at all from 60fps at 1440p (without Nvidia's debris, paper and smoke). That's on foot, gliding or driving the Batmobile. However, the rain effects are still bugged as in they're only fully displayed when you start a new game. Loading from a save lessens/weakens the effects, so that hasn't changed.

That really doesn't sound great considering your specs. 1440p/60fps on a Titan X w/o NVIDIA exclusive features? :/

I'm testing it on a 750 Ti 2GB atm, normal textures still make it unplayable. Low is fine at 1080/30 but ugly as fuck.

That's... why it's in... an opt in beta.
Here are the settings now.
3659MB / 4008MB
VRAM USAGE IS ACCEPTABLE
Thats all I can see above.
I agree, but we're comparing it to how it used to be before the patch. A near-steady 60fps was impossible to achieve at any settings before this patch.
Tell me your findings, please. I am on an overclocked 2500K @ 4.5GHz, GTX 680 2GB, 16GB RAM, and SSD.
