Support NeoGAF

[copelandmaster]

Also, for those who care, both 120hz refresh rates and ToastyX Strobelight are (surprisingly) supported in the current windowed and fullscreen modes.

Guess that means the game either natively supports 120hz resolutions, just does what the desktop tells it to, or its fullscreen mode isn't the same thing as what DS2 and MGR:R use.

SE does what P* and FROM can't.

Didn't the PS3 version also have uncompressed sound? If so that could account for the larger language versions if this version is using that.

That it did. The video files from this version are still larger than could fit on 3 360 DVDs by themselves though.

 

[CertifiedFP]

On the eeeedge

Ooof the crater

About to get ingame once I get this "0kb" update downloaded. Can someone point me to all the presently existing fixes or tweaks?

 

[Frumix]

God I love this wall.

Lots of effort went into that wall.

 

[timshundo]

Lots of effort went into that wall.

Fact: This one wall has more polys than everything in Lightning Returns combined.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Even if cutscenes are 720p, they have a much better bitrate/codec than 360 ones.

Any tweaking guide for AMD, I feel I'm getting random drops...

 

[cafemomo]

ooohhh man

that title screen with the promise playing ;_;

reminds me the days when I only had MGS4 and FFXIII on the talladeganighstatation 3 and I would replay them over and over again

God I love this wall.

This dungeon is the one reason I'm waiting for Durante's fix before I start playing. It was gorgeous on PS3.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

God I love this wall.

the environments are linear as fuck but full of details like this

Chapters 7, 8 and 12 especially

 

[Parsnip]

I didn't pre-load so I'm still downloading, but I'll probably give hud and font (and moar) texture modding a shot once it's done. Unless someone is faster of course.

 

[Kain]

Time to change the title, don't you think?

Final Fantasy XIII PC |OT| Ports are tough, Durante's tougher

 

[artsi]

Ooooohhhhh...Tell us how. Other than 823497 x 3497842 resolutions the other thing I wanted from this port was to break numbers beyond belief.

Memory editing (traditional gameshark type cheating) is pretty easy. First off you need an editor, I use ArtMoney.

1) Open the game process and search for a value in the memory (for example max HP)
2) Change that value in the game (equip/unequip Iron Bangle to increase/decrease max HP)
3) Filter that new value

You'll probably get too many results on the first try. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 until you get only 1 or 2 results. Those are the values you want to change.

When it comes to character stats they are usually pretty close to each other, so when you find one stat you can just browse the memory table to find and modify the rest.

A waste of resources that got us linear levels.

 

[Gvaz]

1080p > 60fps

Ideally you can just throw more power at a game to get the fps up.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Sorry everyone I haven't been home only just now got in and booted it up so pardon if these have been asked before


WTF is going on? no graphics options and black bars? anyway to fix the bars at least?

 

[RK9039]

I give this wall an 8.8/10, will look again.

I'm ok with this

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Not right now, there isn't. The game is locked to 720p. I believe a fix is forthcoming though.

Edit: arright, maybe there is a fix for the black bars.

 

[MrTeachwell]

Looks like living in Australia (and pre-ordering through GMG) is paying off. At first I was bummed that I still have another 10hours of downloading to go (started it last night at 9pm as soon as i got the keys and left it running over night) but if I'm lucky by the time it's done Durante will have worked some magic.

Time to put the $4 I saved to good use and buy Durante a coffee or two (can you even buy a coffee for 2 pounds?)

 

[TheTux]

What software can I use to force different video settings (like for example remove AA)?

I have a AMD videocard for notebooks.

 

[Arthea]

I still can't decide to play it or not, haven't started downloading even.

 

[Gvaz]

I like breaking games.

That ATB level.

The problem with this is your rating is going to be low and you'll get nothing for drops.

Someone needs to find the drop rate

 

[Jisgsaw]

Not really worth grinding until later in the game...way later.
But as soon as you make it out to the Archylte Steppe(Gran Pulse, when the game actually opens up a bit.) you can do various SM's and see if that does it for you.

If you want to get a nice kick from the last chapter's fights, I'd recommend to keep grinding and sidequests for postgame only.

I assume this would be the same for an AMD? btw my black bars are nowhere near that big only slightly at the bottom

Not right now, there isn't. The game is locked to 720p. I believe a fix is forthcoming though.

An official fix? Can't be playing with these bars it's MGR all over again

 

[Enthus]

I'm so glad I have some group work to do soon, makes it easier to wait for a fix to be released.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

16x AF
32x CSAA
AA Transparency at 8x Supersample
Texture Filtering: High Quality
Energy Control Method (or something along those lines, sorry I'm translating from Spanish): Maximum Performance preferred
Enable V-Sync
Enable Triple Buffering

You may also need to use "Antialiasing - Mode: Ignore any setting from the application" (again I'm translating, not sure the exact english wording).

awesome, thank you very much

 

[Durante]

So I need to sleep at some point. Should I release a version which is totally not done or should I wait?

("Totally not done" includes: random crashes when screenshotting, DoF unfixed [that is, original, low resolution DoF], probably tons more I'm not yet aware of)

Modifying the drop rate and rating should be pretty easy, I'll try it later.

A totally not done version, please. The thirst is so real. Also, we could make you aware of any weird stuff we notice further down the line when you wake up ^_^

A release might mean more found bugs to fix when you wake up.

Spoiler

do it

You should release it now so we can play test it and report bugs which will help you work faster when you wake up tomorrow . Screen shots and DOF are pretty minor anyways. Thanks for the awesome work !

[Nevadatan]

so. some dude on facebook claims Crystal Tools came from UE3. is that real?

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Alright, after reading this thread at school all day I'm finally home and I just ran it for the first time.

720p is a real bummer, but with AA cranked up this version looks decidedly better than it does on PS3. The cutscenes are noticeably worse, but it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

But holy shit, 60fps is a game changer. This game looks absolutely gorgeous running at that speed.

Now I anxiously await updates from Durante.

For the love of Lightning, let us beta test it for you.

You could wait months and the problem would still be there, take all the time you need, man.

YES, PLEASE

 

[legacyzero]

As long as I can have a good resolution fix, and good screenshots, "Totally not done" works for me.

 

[KojiKnight]

Durante do what you feel is right. We of course want to play with it now, but we also know that if you release that you'll be flooded with bug reports of things you already know when you wake up.

Consider it an open beta at users own risk. Then again I've got 13 hours to finish downloading it so personally I'm not fussed.

Yeah just release whatever you've done up to this point. If it crashes it crashes. We all know you'll fix it when you carry on.
