Having played as an adult man and adult woman in my PS3 runs, I decided to try playing as a kid this time to see what changes, if anything. The results are unintentionally hilarious.

For example, the lovely princess-type character

Spoiler

comes off as a massive pedophile, with her servants' assertions that her interest in me is "peculiar" taking on a very different meaning.

Now to make that pudgy Jester my beloved, because of course a kid would give gifts of fish to a goofy creeper.

PC playthrough best playthrough.

 

[Mr Git]

Holy shit at console > PC save converter, that's amazing. Will definitely give that a go once I've got this on PC.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Is someone else experiencing crashes? I thought it was GeDoSaTo or Big Picture, but even without them is crashing sometimes for me.

Edit: I see it's not just me.

The strange part is I never had a crash with the leaked copy

 

[Blade30]

If anybody is curious, this is the main noticable difference with HIGH HDR, all "glow effects" are MUCH brighter, including glow from skill effects. Even your weapons will glow extremely bright when enchanted.

LOW on left, HIGH on right

I'll set mine to low now, thanks for pointing this out.

Any idea on increasing the controller (x360) camera sensitivity? It's way too low.

 

[Unai]

Do any of you guys getting crashes have a setup like mine:

- 144Hz monitor;
- G-Sync;
- Another monithor plugged;
- Framerate unlocked instead of fixed at 60;
- Steam Controller;
- GTX 970;

The strange part is I never had a crash with the leaked copy

Really? Damn. And since it's friday it probably won't be fixed until next week.

 

[Ogawa-san]

I love how you can mix KB+M and controller without ever going into options. I made a profile in DS4Windows to use the touchpad as keys 1~5, so now I can toggle the lantern using left touch.

I have almost exactly what you have, except a 980ti.

I only played for about 40 minutes but no crashes or any issues so far.

 

[Alucrid]

They're acceptable. The biggest issue with them is the UI wasn't modified to accommodate them, so you have to press a button combo to use your skills. On the flip-side, you can bind items to the number keys, and mouse aiming for bow is as every bit as good as you'd expect.

thanks, guess i'll see how it is for warrior then

 

[void666]

About to start. Any recommended mods or tweaks?

 

[MakotoYuki]

Does the Steam version have cloud saves? Or is the save only stored locally?

It has steam cloud.

 

[Rhaknar]

just noticed your vocation has ranks. Im rank 4 Strider, should I not change to Ranger or Mystic Knight until I reach max rank with Strider? Not sure what the ranks mean

same goes for my Pawn from Mage to Sorceror (Sorceress)

 

[CadetMahoney]

If you're using a 360 controller, does this game activate the rumbles?

 

[Kyolux]

Holy shit at console > PC save converter, that's amazing. Will definitely give that a go once I've got this on PC.

How do I get that?

 

[T.O.P]

Game keeps crashing when i enter a new town or a loading zone

Sometime i can get though two loading screens without a problem, other times it crashes 3 times in a row

And with how much time can pass from two "towns" this is pissing me off a lot

Have the boldened, no crashes at all so far. However, I have just beaten the Hydra for the first time.

You can change the camera sensitivity in the options menu, maxing it out feels perfect IMO. When you go to the options it'll be on mouse/keyboard options, just press right and it'll switch to xbox controller options.

 

[texhnolyze]

So I assume if you're using a SweetFX preset that enables SMAA, you should disable the in-game FXAA? Currently using this.

Yes, or else you'll get noticeable framerates dip as the game recognizes two AA.
However, Steam overlay won't recognize sweetfx AA so it'll look bad on screenshots. I don't know if that's fixed nowadays.

Jesus fucking christ, this is brilliant.

Somebody uploaded the dualshock 3 icons, so if you're playing with a PS3 controller, this should be quite useful:

You can save whenever you want, so until they are resolved just make sure to pop a manual save before doing a zone transition.

 

[Jarate]

I asked many pages back but didn't see any response. Anyone try this out on steam link yet?

Used it with a 360 controller and it worked really well. Only had like 1 instance of artifacting

 

[Rhaknar]

so how do I fast travel back to the village? I cant find anyware to do it in grand soren. Someone said it was in the inn?

 

[Rurunaki]

This game seriously needs fast travel..

 

[c0Zm1c]

So how are my 21:9 bros coping???

I'll quote what I wrote on another forum:

The game started in that [21:9] resolution for me and the bottom of the title and menu screens was cut off with the interface misaligned (I couldn't click on anything with the mouse and had to find my way around blindly with the keyboard). They have said that 21:9 isn't supported but they really need to fix it so that the game defaults to a 16:9 resolution.

 

[Alo81]

I've got the deband shader implemented in GeDoSaTo and boy howdy does it help a bunch.

This example is using higher contrast post processing than vanilla, and shows off how great the Deband is.

I've got the pull request sent in for when/if Durante decides to merge it.

 

[TDLink]

Okay so I think I fucked my game. Someone please help.

Got to pick my vocation and out into the first town/city. Decided to save and go back to the title screen to play with my settings. Changed a few from Low to High...game screen goes to black and I have to ctrl alt del out. Now I can't boot up the game again without an error happening that doesn't even allow me to get back to settings. Any way to fix this? Like set the settings back to default from outside of the game? Or am I screwed and have to delete the game and redownload everything?

Sexy. Boy do I hate banding.

 

[AJ_Wings]

So I tried my luck fighting the two ogres that hangout in the abandoned camps outside of Gran Soren during nightfall. "Pffft... I played this game for like nearly 200 hours on the PS3, I'm such a badass at this game. So what if I'm level 17?! I can handle these chumps! lol" I told myself. After 10 minutes of humiliating ass whoopin, NOPE.

Guess I'll go to the mines...

 

[mrsmr2]

Following minor moan at the time to unpack the game, I've just played the game at 60fps.

All is forgiven.

 

[Kalentan]

I love how when I played on the PS3 version... I always felt kind of weak and wondered why you started out with such shitty weapons. Well, now I haven't even reached the encampment yet and already decking myself out in armor and weapons and doing the quests I missed. Already level 5 and still haven't gotten my pawn yet.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

How will this run on an HD 5500 ? How about an 840M ? I have two laptops one with each gpu.

 

[Ricerocket]

LOW on left, HIGH on right

This was bugging me with the retarded lens flare effect on your character. It looks WAY better on low. Shouldn't be an option.

 

[texhnolyze]

This game seriously needs fast travel..

But it has fast travel..

 

[SilentRob]

So, is there already a Pawn sharing thread? If not:

I have a Tank/Fighter Pawn with the best Inclinations for the Class (Scather, Mitigator), LVL 25. I think pawns from people from your friend list are free? So, add me on Steam if you like and take Bob on some adventures! Steam name is "Keynwar".

so how do I fast travel back to the village? I cant find anyware to do it in grand soren. Someone said it was in the inn?

Go to the Inn and withdraw the Eternal Ferrystone in your "Tools" tab. Use it to fast travel

 

[Soulflarz]

But it has fast travel..

it's just expensive at the start.

 

[Unai]

I'm still in the village lol

Crashed some times on both the introduction with the previous Arisen and in the Village before and after the dragon.

The only other unusual thing I have is ShadowPlay. I turn it off and test again.

 

[Rhaknar]

err just changed my vocation to magick archer and now I cant use my bow, and my pawn cant use her staff after changing from mage to sorcerer lol?

 

[David___]

Any reason why the resolution keeps defaulting back to 1080p when I set it to 1440p?

 

[Rurunaki]

But it has fast travel..

wut?? how?

 

[Zakalwe]

This game seriously needs fast travel..

It has fast travel.

When you get to GS you'll find an unlimited ferrystone in your inn storage.

Then you can jump between main towns or find/place port crystals wherever you want them (always remember to carry at least one so you can jump to town and back if you need to).

 

[Baalzebup]

just noticed your vocation has ranks. Im rank 4 Strider, should I not change to Ranger or Mystic Knight until I reach max rank with Strider? Not sure what the ranks mean

same goes for my Pawn from Mage to Sorceror (Sorceress)

Vocation ranks unlock new skills, lv.2 version of skills, new augments etc. Maxing out is not necessary as such, but you can some pretty swanky stuff from them.

For example, high rank warrior unlocks the augment Clout, which gives a healthy +20% to all physical attacks. It goes well with any class using physical attacks.

 

[Ricerocket]

wut?? how?

Ferrystones and Port Crystals. You place port crystals on the ground where you want a teleport to.

 

[tuxfool]

So, is it recommended to use a gamepad to play this? I would prefer a M+KB setup, and see some positive thoughts about it in this thread, but I'm just curious if this is similar to Dark Souls where it's mostly essential to own one despite having K+MB controls.

I'm really liking mouse controls for ranged classes. If you want to aim your bow at specific points it is really good. Menu operation with a mouse is a little odd, but manageable.

 

[charpunk]

it's just expensive at the start.

You get an unlimited use ferrystone pretty much at the start of the game.

 

[ViviOggi]

First online pawn I ran into was a terrible Sephiroth, felt like playing an early 2000s MMORPG

 

[Rurunaki]

Thank you.. I'm like level 14 and doing sidequests haven't gone to the "main" town yet.

Delete the .ini file that controls those settings, then validate files and download a fresh copy of the original.

Is there anyway to change the time in game? .
