Support NeoGAF

[legacyzero]

Are you guys sure that forcing AA works? I can see lots of jaggies in those pictures.

Im not gonna worry about AA and options too much once Durante finishes.

Downsampling is gonna make everything allllllright.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Are you guys sure that forcing AA works? I can see lots of jaggies in those pictures.

I'm mostly seeing it on the hair. The awful alpha-to-coverage thing they did still looks fucking awful.

 

[JoJoSono]

Game looks great and running at 60fps is amazing.

It's not smooth though.

 

[DoktorEvil]

It's still chuggy... but the 60fps is there... at times...

fuck I hate you so much Square

At this point this is a slightly better looking FFXIII on a smaller monitor

I am so angry right now

=/

Damn.

 

[Braag]

Are you guys sure that forcing AA works? I can see lots of jaggies in those pictures.

Probably needs an AA flag. I have no idea though, I tried to use the FFXIV SGSSAA flag and there were lines all over the place.

 

[Skyzard]

8x supersampling + 8x MSAA is pretty alright

Is this how you set that option? Including the transparency multisampling option?

Confusing with how many options and combinations there are, thanks.

 

[Nevadatan]

You can't program without metal. Some people think they can, but they're just fooling themselves.

Durante~senpai is on it. yes yes...theres hope! BELIEVE!

man. i had this feeling early on the morning... now its true. too sad atfer this backlash there would be no more FF on PC.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Last set of shots.

Still messing with the settings, haven't found anything that clicks.

The disparity between the faces and hands really weirds me out.

This shot desperately cries out for a much higher resolution.

 

[Durante]

What's the tune Durante? Sounds familiar but I can't place it.

I'm not sure right now, but I was listening to the album "Barrage am Ring 1" at that point, which is just rad all around.

Edit:
In case anyone is wondering, I'm getting random crashes when screenshotting right now, and obviously I can't leave it like that since that's the main point of the game
Could take a while to figure out.

 

[Kagari]

Has anyone checked the video files to see if those are 1080p?

 

[K.Jack]

Why does this look so good, while only being 720p? This res looks like absolute blurry/fuzzy crap on my laptop's screen, in every other game I test, while FFXIII looks pretty dang clear.

It's weird.

 

[yaesir]

It looks like i'll be waiting for the Halloween or Christmas/new year's sale from the look of this.

Not much of a problem since i'll have more time to play it then, smash dominating my 3DS atm lol.

 

[Durante]

I'm mostly seeing it on the hair. The awful alpha-to-coverage thing they did still looks fucking awful.

It looks fine at 4k. Just saying.

 

[Xyber]

I'm not sure right now, but I was listening to the album "Barrage am Ring 1" at that point, which is just rad all around.

Can we expect a release of the fix today? Seems to be working pretty good in your video.

Edit: Ah, just saw you edit. Hope you can figure it out.

I mean, it was a good looking game when it came out..

 

[Levyne]

Already thought out .

Durante
By the grace of the goddess ,
I'm taking it FROM here,
so says Mr. Stewart
.

hehe, pretty great

 

[Aramiyo]

Tried opening them with a variety of different software. Can't be rendered.

RIGHT??

I wrote the exact same thing a while ago. Its odd how good this looks for a 720p game.

 

[KojiKnight]

Has anyone checked the video files to see if those are 1080p?

Still got 15 minutes on my download before I'll be able to check (plus the time it takes to decrypt it all... siiiiigh)

 

[Conezays]

Thanks again. Can't wait to see.

 

[The English Conquistador]

Again, I'm not sure why people expected otherwise. Especially if they looked at other FF PC ports.

Yup! People expected anything less? With zero coverage or anything released on SE's part?

 

[copelandmaster]

Is this how you set that option? Including the transparency multisampling option?

Confusing with how many options there are, thanks.

Pretty much

 

[Eyothrie]

I'm not even getting 5.1 sound. Booooo

 

[kick51]

I'm getting 60fps in the field, 30fps in battles now.

I'm on a gtx 570. yes, high performance mode and AA/AF forced.

Maybe the resolution fix will make my GPU wake the fuck up? lol

 

[Mohasus]

Has anyone checked the video files to see if those are 1080p?

I'm playing fullscreen without scaling, so there are really big black borders during the whole game.

Even if they are 1080p, they are played @720p during the game.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

It looks fine at 4k. Just saying.

I'll have to live vicariously through screenshots.

 

[Nethaniah]

Escape to quit the game is killing me, it's my go to "get me the fuck out of this menu" button in almost every game.

 

[KojiKnight]

It looks fine at 4k. Just saying.

Now you're just being a tease.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I could handle the upscaled graphics (for now) but the framerate drops are really killing it for me. I'm on a GTX 670, smh.

 

[Dreamwriter]

It's weird.

It was designed to look good at 720p is why - Square is really good at working within technical limitations, and they made their textures and effects specifically for 720p and GPU's that couldn't handle very high resolution textures. Which is why this resolution thing, while stupid, isn't really all that horrible.

 

[Hellraider]

Do we have a way to force fullscreen, yet?

 

[Nethaniah]

Unless you mean resolution, you can change the game from windowed to full screen using the launcher.

 

[K.Jack]

I mean, it was a good looking game when it came out..

I'm not talking about the graphics, I'm referring to how poor every other game I have looks, when running below my screen's native resolution. Example: Just tried Borderlands 2 at 720p, and the shimmering is ridiculously ugly, yet there's none of that in FFXIII.

RIGHT??

Ikr?

THIS IS PISSING ME OFF

 

[UnrealEck]

Escape key to shut down the game seems like they were too lazy to put in a menu option for it.

 

[chobo]

anyone getting weird frame rate stuttering? says i'm at constant like 30-45fps

 

[Skyzard]

Pretty much

Thank you and just texture filtering after that?

No Antialiasing compatibility bits needed?

 

[Tecl0n]

This isn't as blurry as i thought it would be at 720p

 

[notworksafe]

I'm gonna assume there's no borderless windowed option, right?

 

[Hellraider]

Unless you mean resolution, you can change the game from windowed to full screen using the launcher.

Is it not possible to have it at 720p like it is, but fullscreen?

 

[KojiKnight]

Escape key to shut down the game seems like they were too lazy to put in a menu option for it.

Confusing part is there IS a menu if you're in window mode when you hit esc...

 

[Nethaniah]

I'm gonna assume there's no borderless windowed option, right?

Not yet.

 

[Nevadatan]

Escape key to shut down the game seems like they were too lazy to put in a menu option for it.

another signal that they just do a quick port.

"so, on PC we need to allow players to close the game"
"just put a halt signal there"
"done"

 

[Dreamwriter]

Is it not possible to have it at 720p like it is, but fullscreen?

If by "full screen" you mean running it at 1280x768, that's not 720p, so no, it's not possible. Not until some people on this board finish hacking it to work...

 

[Serandur]

Forgive me, I've been busy and not following the thread so I'd like to ask if XIII supports resolutions higher than 1280x720? What about over 30 FPS? Thanks.

 

[Alo81]

Incredible.

 

[Xyber]

I actually like that it is so easy to quit the game. But the exit prompt should show up in fullscreen as well, it's just weird how it isn't right now.

 

[Joey Ravn]

I can't even launch the game on Windows 8.1. It just crashes before even starting. I left it preloading, so I'm verifying the files right now... but it takes a shitload of time to verify 50GB of data.

 

[Nethaniah]

Forgive me, I've been busy and not following the thread so I'd like to ask if XIII supports resolutions higher than 1280x720? What about over 30 FPS? Thanks.

-Locked @ 720p
-Cappped @ 60fps, some people say it can drop in battle
-Cutscenes worse than the ones from the ps3 version.

I actually like that it is so easy to quit the game. But the exit prompt should show up in fullscreen as well, it's just weird how it isn't right now.

Probably because in windowed mode it's an external menu, not an in-game one.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

I'm gonna assume there's no borderless windowed option, right?

nope.

But if anyone has any suggestions on a good way to force this into borderless windowed it'd be much appreciated.

 

[copelandmaster]

Thank you and just texture filtering after that?

No Antialiasing compatibility bits needed?

Yup. I would imagine that a better result could be found (for SGSSAA), but this took me two seconds. Bits take loads of testing. I think 8x supersampling + 32x CSAA worked too, but it was kinda blurry.
