Support NeoGAF

[Nethaniah]

All this game needs now are nude texture mods.

[Isaccard]

You and I both know they aren't going to do anything.

Durante's got it covered

 

[diaspora]

.

I still think it needs to be done, necessary even, unless SE really doesn't give a damn about anything.

Game was made at 720p only yo.

 

[Distresssss]

Have you tried this? Works for me with my Windows 8 disc.

I'll try this out but I have a digital version of 8.1 so I might have to get an ISO for it to work.

 

[Grief.exe]

Our raid group is down a man for normal. Is anyone up for it? Experienced 27+ would be nice.

Another sunsinger would be nice, or a Hunter. Anything will do though.

I think you are off by a numeral.

 

[Arthea]

not in the case of LR he can't help. FF13 has quality visuals already, while LR has not. I mean SE has to put some effort in that port, they just have to.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I can't wait to see screens of the later locations in 1080p with all the bells and whistles.

take lots of pretty screens everyone!

Just a quick shot grabbed with dxtory. No problems running this at 3200x1800 with my 970 at least. Hope I can get 4K working somehow though.

Plays fine apart from the broken mini map.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Not sure how people are going to know where to go without the mini map.

 

[Kagari]

He's not going to create all-new textures and models.

Yeah, I'd leave that to the general modding community even if it's possible in the first place.

Sarcasm?

Lil bit.

 

[studyguy]

I heard Durante once uprooted a 100 year old oak tree with his bare hands.
I think he could do it.

Spoiler

But really this is probably as good as it'll ever get.

 

[Skilletor]

I laughed.

 

[Trace]

Didn't his DSFix have a way to overwrite textures? Assuming he can do something similar here, it's up to other people to make new textures if he can provide the option.

 

[Baleoce]

everybody talking about the new marvelous arbitrary resolution by based Durante and here i am sittin'

I'm in the same boat xD My "preload" has been going for over 24 hours now xD

So, I just want to make one point about this.

Preface: Durante is extremely talented, experienced, and dedicated. I don't want to take anything away from him.

However, he'd agree with me that the point of him fixing this stuff so quickly is that the stuff should not have been broken to begin with. The entire point is that this isn't that teams aren't able to do this, it's that they don't even conceptually think to do it. It never even occurs to them. It's mostly a cognitive blindness rather than a lack of ability. I'm also certain that Durante would point out that the only reason it takes him more than 5 seconds is that he has to reverse engineer things that are going on in the engine; if he had access to the engine, he'd be able to work much more quickly. That's the silent undercurrent of all three of the games he's fixed.

So true it hurts.

I have GeDoSaTo set to 1920 x 1080, but now the framerate drops are much more frequent. It constantly drops to 30-40fps in battles. And yes, I have the "Prefer maximum performance" setting enabled. My card is a 660Ti. That should be plenty powerful enough to run this game at a constant 60fps at 1080.

Despite earlier claims, this game does not seem very optimized.

 

[TheF1BOB]

Man everything is just so clean now durante has saved us.

bad horsey bad.

Both in driver and control panel?

where do you enable that prefer maximum performance setting

 

[Landford]

Im getting 20-60 fps on a HD6850 AMD gpu. Should i chalk it up to "bad rig" or the framerate is really unstable?

yeah, he fixes the mess the developers doesnt want/can/or bother to fix. but why he has to do that in the first place? the entire point of releasing a product on a platform is to use all that platform can offer, not just doing a quick job for a quick buck.

we need someone like him on Steam releases QA (if that ever exist)

 

[diaspora]

It's unstable. Make sure you've got your PC to max performance though.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Does the Durante fix also include the AF and AA or do i still have to force those in the Nvidia control panel for the time being?

Guessing you never saw the 360 version then, lol.

 

[studyguy]

Here's a 1080p rose to help you guys understand the title better.

 

[Levyne]

Edit: Since I don't know for sure, I'll nix this post, don't want to guess.

 

[Nevadatan]

Guessing you never saw the 360 version then, lol.

nah, i heard its worse, but i guess using a inferior physical medium doesnt help either.

 

[RedSwirl]

So are all the FMVs really on there twice to account for lip sync?

 

[MayMay]

Yeah, we got Japanese ones and the International (english) ones.

Same thing but with a 670. UHD or FHD it's 40ish fps with drops. Without the GeDoSaTo it's 60 locked without a single drop. Everything is already on max power (since I built that PC actually).

Well, it's not a big deal, at least the game is no more a pixel mess.

 

[kiyomi]

Game looks gorgeously crisp.

Just a quick shot grabbed with dxtory. No problems running this at 3200x1800 with my 970 at least. Hope I can get 4K working somehow though.

I'm running it some way above 4K with an R7 265 and getting an FPS of 25-35, your 970 can easily do 4K.

 

[Shredderi]

So are the visuals in FFXIII-2 actually worse than in FFXIII? I only played the first one so I don't have anything to compare to.

 

[Levyne]

I wonder if my 780 will be able to do 4k (well, 3840x2400) at 60. It was able to for Dark Souls 2

My 780 is able to do that.

AF you'd force through you GPU Vendors drivers. I haven't updated to the latest GeDoSaTo build but it supports various AA types. If you have a look at the profiles section there should be one for FFXIII (well I'm assuming that's how he's doing it) and there will be the resolution you render the game at and any other enabled settings.

visuals XIII > XIII-2 > LR
music XIII > LR > XIII-2
story XIII > LR > XIII-2

Yeah in the profile it has AA set to 4 at smaa so i think im good.

 

[Levyne]

My 780 is able to do that.

Yep, and it makes me kinda sad.

It would be cool if you managed to get them to answer some questions about their PC ports in one of your future interviews with SE, though I could already picture their non-answers.

Mmm I can try. I already know some people asked through PR and they got bunch of nothing.

 

[Zafir]

Yeah 970 can do 4k easily. I tried 5760x3240 and it seems to drop as low as 40FPS sometimes. Still more frames than the console version I guess though, hah!

 

[diaspora]

I wonder if my 780 will be able to do 4k (well, 3840x2400) at 60. It was able to for Dark Souls 2

I think it only does 16:9 atm.
