Support NeoGAF

[KojiKnight]

Don't get it... the battles seemed to be locked at 30fps... The FMVs seem to skip/stutter... outside of battle the game plays at a beautiful 60fps. It's not vsync (though I have triple buffering on, so it shouldn't default down to 30 anyways). As soon as I get this figured out I'll start posting those 60fps videos I promised this morning.

Oh my god - do you have a donation page? lol This is glorious.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

holy shit, that's looking good, edited the pictures out.

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Very nice.

 

[Nerokis]

so uh

we went from a brief moment of pure hope and excitement that this would be a great port, to it being released and realizing it was a mixed bag (cutscenes are from 360 version, some setting results in FPS drops, issues with crashing, and locked in 720p; on the other hand, 60fps is great when it works, AA options are good, dual-audio, etc.?), to Durante swooping in from the heavens and giving everyone hope and excitement again?

Sounds like this thread has gone through quite the roller coaster ride, and I haven't had time to keep up with it. Is it safe to say this is currently the best way to experience the game overall, and that by the time Durante is finished, it'll also be the port everyone thought we'd get during those, like, 36 hours of incredible hope?

 

[robotrock]

These cutscenes seem PS3 grade. The audio quality for them seems awful though.

Battles are locked at 60fps, but there are random fps drops

[Corpekata]

Are the battles locking to 30 FPS for everyone or just random people? Still downloading currently.

Yes.

Hope Yoshi's okay.

 

[EvilKatarn]

I mean... can't you just remove the map by pressing back/select on your controller like on the console versions?

 

[Aeana]

We don't need everybody quoting the huge images just to post a one-liner/one-image response.

[cafemomo]

are my shiny cards worth anything?

 

[Braag]

Thanks, thought so. I have the following for Inspector:
AA Mode: Override
32x CSAA and 8x Supersampling
AF 16x, high quality

Am I missing anything to check off?

Nope, that's it.

They are not locked at 60... if they were locked at 60, I'd be getting 60. They are locked at 30 on my machine. Not 29, not 31, and certainly not 60.

No, battles are 60fps for me most of the time as well. Guess a 560 just doesn't have enough juice for constant 60.

cherish them

I'm getting 60fps

 

[GhostTrick]

The game doesn't really stress out GPUs... so some of them run at power saving settings. That's why I can't get more than 30FPS on battles with my R9 290, the GPU is at 20% usage...

 

[Moral Panic]

huge pics

No AF?

 

[Nerokis]

Yes.

Hope Yoshi's okay.

Okay, great.

I'm weirdly looking forward it!

 

[Durante]

By the way, tons of you (and that includes you, lurkers!) writing to me on Steam does not make stuff go faster. I'm preparing the pre-alpha release right now.

 

[Avallon]

Why is my performance such shit on a gtx 680?

 

[Grief.exe]

.

Noticed the hud rendering disabled in the corner. What you can do in a short amount of time without access to the source code is unprecedented.

 

[Durante]

No AF?

16xAF. What you might be seeing is unfixed DoF. Matter of time.

 

[dreamfall]

Durante, you golden god, you.

Pre-alpha you say?! Gah, so rad.

Make sure to set the gpu power mode to prefer maximum performance.

This only seemed to affect one person so far I think, but also In control panel set power options set to High performance if the cpu is not clocking properly either.

 

[KojiKnight]

Pre-alpha you say? Well I'll wait a while longer to start playing it for real then

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Durante should be making money off of this. I'd fund that patreon like them Medicis

 

[Caffeine]

durante does what squenix dont

What you're saying is that the port is... almost too good?

How do you change that ?

More like because it's 720p, it's not stressing anything. I tried to downclock my R9 290 to 500mhz... still not getting 100% usage, not even once.

 

[robotrock]

Wait, I just selected controller icons from the main menu? I thought it was keyboard icons only!

edit: nvm game still shows keyboard icons lmao

 

[AlphaProspector]

GOODNESS

Boom goes the dynamite. Durante does it again,

oh god, you ventured into the cesspool that is the Steam forums? why

 

[ramoisdead]

Beautiful, Durante. Just plain beautiful. Okay now I want to get this game.

 

[Moral Panic]

You are a great person.

I added you so I could give you my FF XIII Foil Card.

...Pls respond.

[strafer]

So this is the game that started the Lightning hate?

Should probably open up my sealed PS3 copy and play it.

Or PC.

What do you think?

 

[z1ggy]

It's beyond me that Durante can do what japanese devs clearly can´t do.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Setting the GPU to prefer maximum performance helps, but I still get frequent brief drops in performance whenever there's something slightly non-trivial happening on screen, despite neither the CPU nor GPU breaking a sweat.

 

[Caffeine]

lots

 

[Peff]

This needs to be called GODDESSfix.exe.

At least we know what to expect from the sequels now!

PC is looking pretty good right now.

 

[Gvaz]

I need this like a fish needs water

 

[OldGangWarily]

I'm sorry if this has already been asked but are there full Japanese texts for subtitles and texts as well? I know the audio is in there.
