Does it drop if you repetitively shoot with E&I?

 

[TP]

S and below appears to have stayed the same, will continue to test.

Does it drop if you repetitively shoot with E&I?

I'll check

 

[RiccochetJ]

THANK YOU BASED STYLISH GODS!!!!!

Really shocked Capcom/NT didn't make a formal announcement on this. This is a pretty big deal. I wonder if the consoles are going to get a similar patch.

I would venture a guess that they're going to wait until they have more to put in the patch before they spend the money to send out on consoles. That or they'll include it in when the dlc arrives.

I thought it did that already. Or did it just not go up?

That Steam patching process. Gotta love it.

 

[Dahbomb]

It goes down but not down letter grades. Now it should at least for SSS and SS.

I wonder if Demon Dodge was also tweaked, someone has to check that as well.

 

[Papercuts]

It doesn't gain you style but I'm curious if it can maintain style rank dropping now at the bottom threshold.

 

[TP]

It does go down, pics in a moment

 

[That Dude John]

Edit: Thank you based Papercuts. I follow.

Thanks for all this testing.

I didn't think Ninja Theory would actually come through on the style system fix, let alone the PC version getting it first. Is this HEAVEN?

 

[Gbraga]

I actually didn't expect that they would change that! I hope they're willing to keep fine tuning the game through patches, that would be AWESOME.

But of course that also depends on Capcom, as soon as their partnership is over NT isn't laying a finger on DmC again.

Thanks for all this testing.

Drink Virility!

 

[kamorra]

Just finished it. Loved everything about it. I'm confused why I'm supposed to hate it. Oh, well.

 

[Glass Rebel]

PC version getting more definitiver by the minute. This wouldn't have been possible on GFWL.

I used demon dodge to get to SSS just like before, seems the same to me.


S and below

Gun, style drops

 

[TP]

Demon Doge may have been tweaked

I can't get higher that SS with dodge into Trinity Smash on two enemies

 

[Dahbomb]

Do these patches come with a changelog or are we left to figure them out ourselves?

 

[TP]

DD into Overdrive used to get me SSS

 

[iavi]

Do these patches come with a changelog or are we left to figure them out ourselves?

No changelog. It's a scavenger hunt!

So far:

Style system fixes
FMV Vsync
In-Game refresh rate fix (going from steam forums)

Anything else?

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Detail view in library --> News. There aren't any for DmC though.

There's that one steam forums user wizzmanin who keeps insisting loudly that the game added physx features

 

[Dahbomb]

Demon dodge potentially got like a 10-20% nerf of damage gain which of course also means that the style gain less.

Seems like NT wants you to earn those SSS ranks and maintain them. Still should be easy to get to it but more effort is required to maintain it.

Lol. We'd see an option in the menu for that. Also, it being a game of the AMD program, I highly doubt we'll see Nvidia exclusive FTS anytime soon.

Which is the way it should be right?

 

[That Dude John]

Now, I'm starting to wonder what other things were tweaked, even if they only were minor in the grand scheme of things.

 

[jett]

I'm surprised they actually bothered.

 

[LegatoB]

I'm surprised they actually bothered.

I'm pleasantly surprised they actually bothered.

 

[iavi]

This has me wondering if the PC players will get BP first. I actually think it highly possible now.

 

[Dahbomb]

Which is the way it should be right?

Yea its closer to the older DMC games now. Still is more forgiving but its more functional now.

 

[Chamber]

Oh, nice. Surprised they even bothered listening.

 

[Coconut]

I'm surprised they actually bothered.

I kind of wish they just left it and let people accept that they are going to do it their way from now on.

 

[Dahbomb]

U kind of wish they just left it and let people accept that they are going to do it their way from now on.

Well their way of grading the style meter was awful for everyone involved. There's change and then there's broken mechanics that go against the type of game play you are trying to promote.

This change should've happened before the console release but I guess better late than never.

 

[KorrZ]

Oh wow, kudos to Ninja Theory for the changes. I'm a jealous console player right now. I've been debating double dipping on the PC version...but I'm already halfway through DMD on 360.

 

[V_Arnold]

I love how this patch is just a patch for our perception. The gameplay remained the same

 

[Raitosaito]

Anyone want DmC Steam for $25?

PM me. Want to get rid of my last few keys

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Went back three pages, and didn't see. Any word for when the costume packs will be going on sale for the PC version?

 

[Dahbomb]

Um no the style change is a change on a game play mechanic. You no longer can afford to do safe repetitive moves at SSS if you want to keep that SSS. Its not just a perception thing and who knows what else they changed in the patch.

 

[QisTopTier]

Oh cool so me playing all fancy and shit will have a pay off again. Horray

 

[Dahbomb]

It already did have a pay off. What's changed is that people who abused DD to get to SSS fast and then just spammed a couple of moves while playing defensively don't get the same pay off anymore.

Take it to the trade thread.

Holy shit

Up to a 50% performance improvement in single gpu usage with AMD's new 13.2 Beta drivers.

http://techreport.com/news/24285/catalyst-13-2-beta-with-frame-latency-improvements-now-available

200fps wasn't enough. Anybody have any results? my 7950 is sitting in a box waiting for the final piece of my new rig's puzzle: the cpu.

 

[Gbraga]

Wait, I need confirmation on this, did I just mistimed it 50 times in a row or they fixed the Invisible Prop glitch?

Nonja Toeri pls

I liked that so much

I'm glad I did a few videos with it

EDIT: I can still cancel the recovery of a dodge into Reverse Rainstorm and the startup of Reverse Rainstorm into another dodge though

 

[jett]

Did they fix the infinite wall jumping glitch? I wonder.

Will this work right off the bat? Or do you have to make some specific configurations for the game?

I was tinkering around with the settings to try and get as close to 60 fps as possible. Whenever an enemy shows up onscreen, even if it's just one, the framerate drops considerably.

I now learned that v-sync is the biggest culprit here. Turning it off offers a big boost, but also leaves me with screen tearing.

The weird part is that the performance is affected even if I'm using at third party application for v-sync (RadeonPro, in this case). Is there a way to enable v-sync without eating up the performance, either with RP or some other method? Or am I stuck having to choose between framerate or screen tearing?

 

[itwasTuesday]

Oh maybe they made shoot and grapple separate buttons.
Sad.

Break down your specs because your problem with the enemies slowing your performance is more of a CPU problem.

Hahahah NT fixing them glitches. Too bad that also involves swag glitches. I wonder if they patched some of the AI issues with the enemies and bosses.

I don't think the listed improvements favor one setup over the other, aside from the already stated single gpu config, and the fact that the % probably start at the HD7XXX series and slowly scale down in effectiveness the older you get.

You're setup sounds a bit struggled, though. Mind posting specs?

ATM, I'm playing on an ol' Macbook Pro with a C2D@2.4/Nvidia 8600GTM config. I average 45-55fps on a 720p/medium--Vysync on--no tearing.

I'm entirely impressed with what QLOC did.

 

[Gbraga]

Nope, used it to get a key on mission 18
