Not sure if this was mentioned somewhere else, but you can pre-load now.
17.8GB download.
17.8 GB or 28 GB ?
its show 28 GB
its weird ... the Xbox version was 1 disc ( 8 GB install only )
28GB is install size, 17.8GB is the encrypted preloading files' size.
Basically you download ~18GB now, then you'll need ~28GB to extracting it when preloading ends and then you should need only ~28GB to have the game installed on your PC.
Please note that those numbers may vary.
If FF13-1 is anything to go by, the difference is that the videos are higher quality than the Xbox version, and that it's dual audio.

I wonder what will come first, the XIII patch or XIII-2 unlock?
I guess XIII's patch.
They usually upload new test builds in the early morning (european time) and XIII-2 is going to be released in the evening.

"What part of "She Must Not Be Forgotten." didn't you understand?
lol Thats great, but I think its more fitting for Lightning Returns.
it fits the marketing
"So you think you can ride this Chocobo"

Alright save it for later.How about:
"Baby, I'm gonna see the new world"
If you use it, let them figure it out.
Thuoght exactly the same.
THIS! Why didn't I think of this?!?!
That's actually not bad, there are many people on Steam forums who believe that Lightning is the main character. "So you think you can ride this Chocobo" is better anyway in my opinion.
Nah, meh.

got my vote
Pretty much any line from that song is good.
I was thinking about some Noel/Noël pun given the time of year, but I'm bad at humour

Option resolutions, 16x MSAA, 8K shadow resolution.
Still better than sub-30 PS3 version.
Anecdotally I see a lot less drops than before. The only really noticeable dip is when the battle screen loads.

Ugg. SE you had one job. The graphics options I didn't really care about since I could do as I please thanks to Durante. No sale on the next installment. The first games wild fluctuations were making me sick and they will see no more of my money.

It only showed 720p/1080p for me the first time, now it shows all resolutions. Framerate is still crap though. It's clear they have something wrong as the game will run a whole bunch of frames @ 16ms then suddenly jump to 100ms.
I was hoping SE would fix the framerate... but deep inside I knew they won't ever do it. If at least they gave us the option to lock it to 30 FPS! I know it's a shitty way to play the game, but at least it won't suffer from the annoying constant spiking between 30 and 60 FPS.
dat ass
Use half refresh rate vsync on Nvidia Inspector + Rivatuner OSD to lock it at 30fps. That will most likely give you 33ms.
Windowed only lets you choose from 720p or 1080p for whatever reason, but full screen shows all.

So, basically now you have all the resolutions your monitor supports, shadow resolution and antialiasing options, and that's it, right?
I think it's actually not bad considering what we are coming from. I was just hoping they would manage to fix the framepacing issues as well (for me the trick just was use GeDoSaTo to bump it to 4K, it was 30 fps everywhere except Sunleth where in some angles it'd drop to 20 fps).

Why are both required? Why not just half-refresh v-sync?

Just tried the patch out myself, it felt OK. Using nVidia DSR 4K + 16x forced AF in the control panel seemed to perform a little better than using Gedosato at the same settings, but there were still frame drops. It's acceptable, which is probably still better than average from a Japanese dev porting to PC, but they still have room to tweak the engine to optimize performance, my GTX 770 never seems to really go above 70% utilization according to Afterburner no matter what my graphics settings are in game.
I'll still end up getting XIII-2 anyway because I'm a consumer whore, but hey, at least on PC we have Durante to save us.

The problem I had with capping to 30 was that it would actually dip below 30 regardless of resolution or settings for no reason. CPU/GPU not getting taxed at all and it is dropping to the mid 20s. I need at least a consistent frame rate. This is far from it. Game has completely broken frame pacing which they have not fixed. I am more mad about this than the VII troll since this will be the second time I have bought this kind of mediocre game.
I'm not 100% on the tech behind it, but I think that if you only use OSD you get tearing, and if you only use half refresh rate you get stuttering.

--Performance is still crap. Still TONS of fame time issues, drops in battle. (Video link > https://mega.co.nz/#!mMZChJjD!zJo7J33hs087mSBgTXzEMDXnhFfoFKjt5NW-2kXJ_jA) Look at the frame time counter, this should a FIXED flatlined 16.66ms at 60/59FPS. When this is constantly spiking, it cauess microstuttering. Not to mention the framerate still TANKS when anything in battle happens
--No Frame Rate cap options for 60/30/unticked
--High Resolution Fonts and UI images needed. Which if we had the ability to mod in, is entirely possible. (Though this isn't a necessity)
--Audio Volume is still too low, no balance sliders, music too quiet compared to everything else.
--FMVs are still crap, still 50GB, no option to download only one language FMVs, if it's gonna be 50GB, WHY can't it be higher quality FMVs? At least the PS3 FMVs

Not necessarily true, it depends on the game.
You CAN use regular Vsync and then cap at 30FPS. Depending on the game it may work or may not without issues.
Some games, 1/2 Refresh works fine. Others, you need 1/2+30FPS cap+Pre-rendered frames=1 to get the most stable and responsive output

Mafia II for example, with 60hz Vsync+30FPS cap there is microstuttering here and there. But controller response is pretty good.
1/2 Refresh+30FPS cap= a very large increase in input latency.
However pre-rendered frames=1 reduced that a bit more.
General rule of thumb for that, is that if the input latency feels really really bad with 1/2+30FPS cap, try pre-rendered=1 and see if it helps. I don't know if it will work with all cases though.
And Yes you probably can still use GeDoSaTo. Can also use DSR now too
