Support NeoGAF

[Peterthumpa]

Getting a lot of framerate drops. Gonna try new drivers.

These are not FPS drops. It's the same goddamn stuttering as the first game.
Check out FRAPS, on a average rig it should stay at 60 FPS, locked. For Christ's sake, I thought that the days of lazy work on ports were over...

The pixelated shadows are also a problem (Darksiders 1 had nothing like this) and I can see that the sun is appearing even when I'm inside locations, WTF.

Gonna disable forced AA to see.

[EDIT] - Disabling AA on CP fixes the sun issue. Shadows are still blocky though.

 

[K.Sabot]

These video games sure are great.

 

[Dahbomb]

Oh god I am having flashbacks of the D3 launch all over again... :/

 

[Mattakuevan]

These video games sure are great.

Yes, this. This is exactly what I was getting.

 

[QisTopTier]

Oh god I am having flashbacks of the D3 launch all over again... :/

HAHAHA It's not that bad >.<

 

[excaliburps]

Damnit! I keep on refreshing this page to read hands-on but all we see now are technical snaffus happening around the place.

 

[Leon Belmont]

Email them back and get a new code. You probably got a dupe on accident, it happens.

Thank you bro, I will email them back I hope they send me the Argul's Tomb steam key!

 

[The Wizard]

just confirmed that i will not be buying this.

not interested in ports

Hittman redeemed?

Spoiler

No.

 

[SparkTR]

Well, at least these issue stem from the game being TOO popular, right?

 

[SlasherJPC]

20 minutes of 360 footage here with my Darksiders 2 Lets Play Yeah I'm retarded! I know

 

[K.Sabot]

Hittman redeemed?

Spoiler

No.

All those dumb quote gifs are really starting to look stupid right now.

 

[Derrick01]

These video games sure are great.

I eventually got by that somehow. It was just gone when I forced restarted the game through the task manager.

 

[Tokubetsu]

one of the enemies was displaying all glitched out so i verified game integrity and now its downloading 4.8 gigs

 

[ironcreed]

Should have my copy delivered tomorrow. Have fun, guys.

 

[Futurevoid]

Finally got in. only to restart to change the resolution. Thankfully I got in fine.

Yeah, I'm getting stuttering and it is driving me totally batty.

 

[antitrop]

Considering it's only 5.5gb it sure downloaded a shit ton of corrupted data.

 

[toastyToast]

Working just fine for me. The THQ signup thing didn't work, saying something about the service not working. Managed to get passed it and go into the menu afterwards.

Death feels so good, omg

Gonna go with Necromancer as a change of pace. Tragic didn't show it off from what I saw, hopefully it's rewarding/fun to play.

 

[gdt]

Got no stuttering the bit that I played. It was gorgeous (except for the shadows) and smooth. I'll have to add in AA tomorrow morning and experiment with the fps hits. I'll go as low as 40 I think...

 

[K.Sabot]

So has anyone got resolutions working?

Edit: There's seriously no way to end the program outside of shutting it down through windows? LOLPC

I'mma have a bit of patience to play this game, sadly.

 

[vaelic]

lame ass pc options.

 

[razgriz417]

whoa restarting the game and now I've linked my THQid with my SteamID? I guess this is in preparation of DLC?

 

[CambriaRising]

Considering it's only 5.5gb it sure downloaded a shit ton of corrupted data.

This happened to me on the last two preloads I did. I ended up deleting the local data and redownloading them. (Mass effect 2, and DXHR)

 

[gdt]

BTW, validated my files to see if that was the cause of the shadows, but my file integrity is fine. So they'll probably have to patch that.

 

[Gav47]

Whats with the aliasing on the in menu Death?

Open fullscreen and look that the handle of the axe.

I had to turn it off. Looks so damn good.

It was that way with the first game too. Thought it was pretty weird

 

[ChosenPredator]

damn so much people have the game already and streaming it as well -.-

It took two tries, but my res and v sync settings stuck.

 

[Derrick01]

I'm not interested in ports either.

fake edit: Ah shit thought this was the dark souls PC thread.

Looks like I was in the right thread after all. I apologize for my sarcastic response to that one person's what we thought was a ridiculous comment.

 

[Phloxy]

What happened to that dude talking about an ini file and all these graphic options and shit?

 

[toastyToast]

Some of the HUD elements don't seem to scale either

I just did it less than five minute ago and it worked perfectly on the first try.

Experiences may vary, I suppose.

 

[Daydream Sequence]

Found this video review

Can't promise that there aren't spoilers.

 

[Teknoman]

The first game at launch? Because now with the first game I can just quit to the main menu, and quit the program from there.

 

[Hasemo]

Steam site says I can play.
Steam says I have to wait until it's available for my region.
What.

I wouldn't blame stuttering on a lazy port job. The Witcher 2 is one of PC's high profile titles and even it has stuttering.

Honestly, I have no idea what to blame stuttering on. Some games are perfectly fine (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was extremely smooth), some are not (Darksiders).

Does the D-pad not work for anyone else? I prefer it for menus.

Combat is like greased lightening compared to DS1

 

[Maffis]

Hmm, maybe being European isn't that bad. Now maybe we'll have the fixes before it's even released over here lol.

 

[Hasemo]

VPN

Nah, I don't have much time anyway. Just find it kind of weird that there are 2 conflicting messages in the same program.

 

[Maffis]

But I remember a PC article that said the game would feature a lot of graphical options. Wtf? Maybe they released some kind of old version or something?

 

[Karamsoul]

Was just emailed my PS3 Season Pass code by the THQ store. WOO HOO!

 

[Daydream Sequence]

No spoilers in that video review, btw.

Yeah it doesn't appear to work in menus. I was immediately taken aback by that too, it feels weird to use the stick.

 

[JambiBum]

Now. At least for me. I bought it during the GMG sale and I can quit to the main menu but in order to exit from there I have to alt tab out first.

 

[JaseC]

Anybody else experiencing lock ups when returning to the game from a menu? Not constantly, but it's happened to me two or three times now.

Honestly, I have no idea what to blame stuttering on. Some games are perfectly fine (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was extremely smooth), some are not (Darksiders).

No, this is a different kind of stuttering. Almost a "technical trademark" of the first Darksiders on PC.

 

[Karamsoul]

Who do I believe!

Also how did you guys get past that shitty THQ account screen? Every time I try to go past it it just brings me to the top of the page.

You didn't ask for this.

 

[Futurevoid]

If I force vsync and triple buffering with D3D, I get mad stuttering. Disable it and run the game and I'm getting over 150fps with no stuttering and some tearing. In-game vsync does nothing.
