Well that's good. I thought the first game had a solid fps on PS3 but that it was worse on PC until the fixes.

Anyone else getting audio buzzing?
EDIT: Looks like a number of people in the Community Hub are having the same issue.
EDIT X2: Apparently it's due to the port not supporting surround sound. Have to disable some speakers to fix the issue.
Maybe Square-Enix will have this port fixed by February? Fucking A.

They say it's a bit of a grey area, but it is licensed under LGPL 2.1

I mean if they can't, someone should surely mod in the support

Eh?
With the sound issue I'm having the game is unplayable.
That's hardly what I'd call definitive.
EDIT: Getting the same obnoxious buzzing with headphones on.

:/ not sure what people were expecting after the half assed XIII port.
That was the last time I'll ever pre-order something from Square Enix

Hear, hear. Best FF OST since FF8. Cannot pick one single best track out of the whole Trilogy. I would have to put 10 tracks at position #1.

HAHAHA. That's what people were saying about XIII before XIII-2 released.
Didnt see the thing about the sound issue before posting (just had it lingering on the OP, and saw 1080p and 60fps).

Nobody is getting 1080p and 60 fps either (I'm certainly not).
Okay when the camera pans to a clear sky or something I get 60 fps. So okay Square-enix you're right, you delivered a port that has 1080p and 60 fps (at very specific moments).
Congrats?
The sound is blowing my mind. Day-1 FFXIII PC didn't have this problem. WTF
Guess i'll just wait and keep an eye on this thread in that case.
EDIT: About the game itself and OST, I still wish that XIII-2 was the premise and soundtrack were what they used for the first game. Or at least a combination of the elements from the two games.

Apparently fixing the sound requires removing your sound card's drivers.
Sorry but no, I'm not fucking with that.
I've played thousands of games on the PC, from AAA releases to indies to emulators.
NEVER had an issue with sound, or at least a constant buzzing noise.
This is unacceptable.
EDIT: Okay I got it.
PC -> Control Panel -> Sound settings -> Stereo -> Configure -> Switch from 7.1 to Stereo
Buzzing is gone.

Not even xbox prompts, they are generic gamepad ones. Guess if files are same as PS3 you can just replace the game pad textures with the PS3 ones
It dropped, it has settings. Framerate still woeful
XIII got a patch but the framerate is still garbage, better than before but still garbage.

With the X and XII remastered getting confirmed for PS4, a PC version also seems all but confirmed.

Guess I'll use the money in my steam wallet to buy DOA5 costumes instead of FFXIII:LR.
He probably meant X-2.

Just did the opening and a few battles with Noel & Serah, and this shit pretty much sticks to 30 fluctuating now and then between 15-30, both in and out of battles.
For comparison XIII is mostly on 60 for me, fluctuating between 40-60 occasionally, both in and out of battles.
How did they manage to fuck up the framerate even more?

Still downloading but I see there are a lot of issues as expected.
I was just reminded of one thing I've always found hilarious which is (not really spoiler)

Serah's clothes changing because of a time paradox just to shoehorn a sailor moon type transformation into the game. Because it would be completely unreasonable to be wearing different clothes 2 years later.

Shit, Fang and Vanille have been wearing the same clothes for close to 1500 years with no explanation given. It really is hilarious that they justified Serah's change of outfit with a paradox.
They needed that scene because
no one would willingly dress in Serah's default outfit.
Framerate was ridiculously bad in sequels even on consoles. Must be some kinda fundamental flaw in the engine design.

I don't even want to think about what LR will be framerate wise.

Good luck.
I've been trying to get a refund for a game that flatout doesn't work and I haven't even gotten contact with a Valve rep.

There must be something rotten in the engine itself because FF13-2 on PS3 had also big framerate problems. FF13-3 as well. Seems like a no effort port to me, bah.

FF13-3 is the easiest and shortest to Platinum. It is basically a no effort trophy next to FF13.
Kiss my ass! Maybe you should take your anger out on SE for advertising Lightning so much in XIII-2.

Welp, arbitrary resolution support above 1080p doesn't work for me.
I guess I have to wait for GeDoSaTo to support the game.

They technically do but it'll be a huge hassle to do it since they will try to dissuade you and convince you they don't refund games.
Generally, however, their policy is allowing one refund per account for any reason at all, though like most Valve CS requests, you'll need to wait 3 weeks before you get a non-canned response. If you're ok with using that one refund on XIII-2, they'll give it to you.

I'm starting to enjoy FFXIII threads. I wonder if this one will eventually become mostly a screenshot thread.
Anyway, fluctuating between 20-50 is how I play almost every game on my laptop, so I don't care, but seriously, just lock at 30 if the engine fucks up at 60 (or give the option to lock, that way you don't have to change marketing).
