Your GPU is downclocking. It's 60 FPS on my 770 at 3200x1800.
Fixing the "small" stuff is usually the hard part, so don't get your hopes up yet.

! You truly are a God among men when it comes to this stuff. Hopefully you are able to figure things out without much problem

 

[Thorgal]

OMG 3200x1800

Not high enough yet

GIVE ME 8K DURANTE !

 

[Caffeine]

I'm on a Nivida GPU...I started the game in Window, saved, and went back to Fullscreen and the settings applied. Going to do more testing. I forgot I'm using FXAA as well, why not.

ok thanks will try

 

[Nethaniah]

Aw, I was kinda hyped for a good looking port, just to see how beautiful the game could run on a high end PC. Sounds like the PS3 version is still the one to beat.

Why, exactly? This runs much better and at the same resolution, we also have dual audio (except for asian territories) and we can force AA / AF.

That's from the framedump, in-game it currently looks like this:

AAAAAAAAAW SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

 

[Unai]

I mean if they pre-record the cutscenes...and it's already 60gb at 720p for dual audio, I can imagine they would need like 1TB to support or the other resolutions? Or is there a better way...

The real time is all that matter.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Square please ...

Not working.

I just notice the CSAA not working, I thought it was, going to retest.

 

[Plywood]

Guys, make sure you're not taking screens of prerendered cutscenes kinda defeats the point, tbh.

 

[kick51]

Why, exactly?

because people like to try to troll in moments of uncertainty like these

 

[.:Wesker:.]

Any chance of the PS3 quality cutscenes being modded in? The compression looks awful, and at 40 gigs I really figured they would be up to par.

 

[Frumix]

Despite them using Bink it's not the same encode as on 360.
360 videos even were in 1024 if I remember right.

Anyway, regarding Japanese audio.
I found that some dialogue choices in English version are kinda incoherent and seem way out of context and sure enough, in some instances Japanese text just flows outright better. Nothing grand, but some lines are straight messed up.

 

[sqwarlock]

I'm lazy and don't feel like combing through the pages since it was unlocked. Can anyone give me the rundown on the quality of this port? Is it locked at 720p, for example?

OMG Durante FFFix on the way!

I have faith in Durante, but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

In any case, wouldn't this just get rolled into GeDoSaTo? Instead of "FFFix?"

 

[UnrealEck]

I love black bars at 720p and no AA or AF. Mmmm my favourite.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Haha well it isn't all bad.
I just got a foil card drop from this game.

SE member says he is looking into it!

I remember Platinum was looking into it too for Metal Gear Rising

Are they still looking? Or was it already patched?

 

[Skyzard]

You don't need to upscale the pre-recorded scenes. It's not the best solution, but it's a standard that everyone understands.

Yeah, true I mean... there are a lot of cutscenes and so we might be transitioning in resolution quite a lot if things work out but that's no reason not to even give us the option, like some sort of pleb.

 

[Nethaniah]

The resolution is locked @ 720p and the cutscenes are a bit worse than the ps3 ones, only two issues that i'm facing tbh.

 

[cafemomo]

Congrats to Holykael1 for wining FFXIII, I loved your story

Sent you a PM

Holykael1 actually bought a copy for himself....so off the next person

MillionStabs

check your PMs in a bit

 

[jim2point0]

OMG 3200x1800

That's nothing.

I know, but it's better than nothing.

 

[EatinOlives]

50GB for this shit? Dual audio or not, fuck this.

Dual audio REALLY should've been a free DLC option from the get-go, with PS3-level video quality. Yes, the size of having dual-audio would've been even bigger than 60 GB, but in all honesty I'm pretty sure a considerable number of people never plan on playing with Japanese audio and they'd much rather have better video quality AND lower space requirement to boot.

Just about the only thing SE didn't fuck up hilariously is the framerate. Everything else about this port (from ESC-to-cold-exit to the resolution) has been a carnival of stupid.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Is it possible to play this in Japanese with English subs?

 

[Tizoc]

Haha well it isn't all bad.
I just got a foil card drop from this game.

SELL IT FOR $50!

 

[Nyoro SF]

I know, but it's better than nothing.

Giving people false hope is worse than nothing.

 

[Yoshichan]

holy shit this game looks great now despite being in 720p

[Kain]

Bink?

Did they just up-port the 360 version or something?

Looks like it. Remember it's S-E we are talking about: expect the worst and then go further.

[Reishiki]

The 720p I might grumble at, but the 60FPS feels godly already.

 

[Durante]

Next time I'll live-stream the first 2 or 3 hours of doing shit like this. Could be both fun and educational!

u wat m8?

 

[Levyne]

I told you, didn't I? Ports are tough.

 

[BillGaitas]

Also, if any of you are running this on a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus (Intel VGA + NVIDIA), don't forget to change the settings on the GPU control pannel, otherwise it will try to run on the Intel chip.

 

[Red Comet]

Downloading now, but I'm considering holding off on playing until we get some sort of resolution fix.

 

[JudgmentJay]

That would be really cool.

 

[heiyu]

holy shi..

 

[Porcupine]

I would watch it

 

[KainXVIII]

Can't even launch it..Halp?

[StrikeFirst117]

Force every AA and AF option in your settings may be enough (your GPU is getting bored and dropping down to a lower speed because the game isn't pushing it at all). Otherwise you'll have to disable it from going into power saving mode.

Done that gone on super sampling 24x, and anisotropic is up to 16x, with triple buffering still dropping to 30 and around

Seems a waste to try and fix an awful awful game like this. Let Squeenix wash their own laundry.

Thanks my friend.

 

[EatinOlives]

I told you, didn't I? Ports are tough.

Ports of old console exclusives aren't trivial, since they can get away with hardcoding as much shit as possible. Problems happen when a developer wants to port an old console exclusive with the least effort possible, that's just a recipe for disaster.

I was hoping SE was going to actually put effort into this, given the fact that FFXV PC seems a real possibility, but unfortunately it turns out that this is simply a cash grab from a bare-bones port they already did for their streaming service.

 

[Tiu Neo]

I would watch. As a wannabe game dev, that kind of stuff intrigues me.

Do make an OT for it, if you do, so the mods can promote/sticky it to the top or something.

[rjc571]

Ha ha wtf, this is only 720p? How long until Durante fixes it?

Like seriously, this is mindblowingly stupid. Isn't implementing higher resolution frame buffers completely trivial?

 

[Durante]

I'm not doing this for Square Enix or other people. I'm doing it because I think Sunleth Waterscape is beautiful and I want to take an 8k screenshot of it.

 

[MayMay]

I just started the game.. and.. it doesnt look so bad tbh. For being 720p. Not at all.

Ill have alot of fun with this (except with the cutscenes)
