How !?

I get drops to 54 fps in Minas Ithil on 1080p...

I haven't enabled dynamic res though...

It’s all dynamic res - without it I wouldn’t even get solid 60 FPS at 1440p. I sit far enough from my tv that dynamic res is great for me though.

 

[Moz]

Nothing happens when I click to start the game.

Nothing happens when I browse to the directory and run shadowofwar.exe.

Nothing happens when I run it as admin.

Nothing happens when I disable my Antivirus and try to run it.

Nothing happens when I try to install the texture/cinematic packs.

All drivers up to date. 1080ti/6700k.

I have 3 monitors including a 165hz Gsync monitor.

All other games run normally, including Shadow of Mordor.

I have verified the integrity of local files, nothing happened.

Don't really want to download 70Gb again.

Help?

Downloading the 65.6 GB now. If this game runs well in 4K/30 FPS on my GTX 1070/i7-7700K, I will be one happy camper.

I'm not sure if this will be of much help but have you tried running any programs in the redistributes folder? Most, if not all Steam games have this folder, try installing everything in there as some games may have dependencies on these files, usually Steam should install it for you on the first launch after verifying the integrity. After installing these I've managed to fix issues where a game wouldn't launch or would crash.

Other people were having issues with multi monitors - maybe unplug the other two to test? Other than that, maybe try editing the cfg file to force borderless? Or try disabling dpi scaling? Other than that...I can’t think of anything.

 

[texhnolyze]

It just says that, you can still run the game with those textures on even a GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB VRAM. We didn't have a GTX 1060 with 3 GB memory, so not sure about that though.

Really, it won't bottleneck? I'll try it later.

 

[shanafan]

Not sure if it matters, but AC: Unity didn't load for me. I had to change my desktop Scale and Layout to 100% (it was at 125%) under Display Settings. At 100%, the game ran no problem.

 

[Chakan]

Game - 67.4GB
4K Textures - 10.5GB
4K Cinematics - 21.6GB
Total - 99.5GB

According to the game, you need 8.6GB VRAM to play the game on 4K with 4K textures.

How's it running for people with 970/980s? Is 60fps possible at 1080p with decent settings

Tried all three, no dice. Tried reinstalling Steam and Nvidia drivers, tried an sfc /scannow, tried lowering my desktop resolution to 1080p etc. So after six hours of the game doing nothing, I'm out £35 and it's 1am, and there isn't even a PC section on the Warner Bros tech support page.

Found a couple of threads of people with the same issue on Steam forums, so hopefully there will be a patch so I can play it for a bit before Evil Within comes out... sigh.

i7 4790k + 970 here.

Ultra (except textures) + TAA = 49 fps average on the benchmark.
High + TAA = 64 fps

I was getting a similar message/crash (though I could get into the game) and resolved it by removing my overclock on my CPU.

If you have any parts overclocked try reverting to stock

How's HDR and if anybody using it, are you using a monitor or tv?

 

[gdt]

Used it on my tv.

Looks pretty good. The constant fire everywhere looks great, contrasted with the rubble and greenery.

 

[heringer]

Gave up on getting stable 60 fps on my 970. It drops to 40's far to frequently, even with high/medium settings. Settled for 30 fps and higher res.

 

[agentreza]

My fellow 1080 Ti owners out there, have you been able to get it locked to 60 fps at 4k? Any settings you had to turn down??

 

[Stormus]

Running 980ti on 1440 with just about everything maxed and getting a solid 60. I will say I don't think this game looks noticeably any better than Shadow of Mordor which is a bit of a disappointment.

 

[dr_rus]

In-game benchmark results from my PC. Strangely enough they are quite different from those posted by GameGPU although they've presumably used the same benchmarking sequence.

All in all the benchmark is pretty light. I've added 3840x2400 just to see if it will keep above 30 running Ultra.

1920x1200 res is hitting my CPU one core performance limit. Game's engine could certainly benefit from better CPU threading as it seems to max out one thread too often while some of them are at 0% utilization.

You got comparison videos in the works dr_rus?

 

[icecold1983]

I wonder what dx12.1 features they are using

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

I noticed whenever i change settings my performance is stuck at 50-60 fps, when I alt tab it goes to what it should be at 80-100 fps. Sorry if this was mentioned already

Yeah, feel the same here.

Nah, I don't really have anything to compare to. You're probably thinking of DudeRandom? I'm not him =)

ahh I always thought you two were the same, my bad

 

[Dremorak]

Should I be able to hit 1080 60 with a gtx1070, 16gb ram and i7-6700?

Thats all I care about

You should yeah, maybe not with the ultra settings but definitely on High settings for sure.

I think a big part of it is the lighting. It has one of the most flat lighting models I’ve seen in a long time, it makes the world look super flat and boring. I’m curious to see it with HDR, see if that helps any, because the game really isn’t a looker at max settings.

Interesting. People were saying it looked better than Witcher 3 (which I think looks many times better than Shadow of Mordor, especially at 4k)

 

[BreezyLimbo]

What video card do you have? Wondering if it is a Ryzen + Nvidia issue. I had smooth 60 fps until I got to the city shortly after they introduce you to the bow.

I have an evga 1060 nvidia. Weird that youre having issues :x

 

[robotrock]

You guys have a tiny black square in the top left corner?

 

[Eclectic Sk3ptic]

Disabling Nvidia Ansel should take care of it.

YES! What the heck is that?

 

[texhnolyze]

Yeah, I have. I guess it's for fps counter but it's weird that it's always on.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Whenever I got to install the Ultra textures or the 4k videos pack it just starts the game up. Any ideas as to why that is happening?

Have you tried restarting your Steam client?

Check the DLCs, then restart Steam.

 

[robotrock]

How do I do that?

 

[Eclectic Sk3ptic]

How do I do that?

I hear you can disable it via Geforce Experience if you have it installed. I didn't, so I had to go to <\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Ansel\Tools\NvCameraConfiguration.exe> and disable it there. Set "Ansel status" to disable.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I've checked windows display settings and don't see any option to enable HDR. Am I missing something. I have played a couple of HDR games already for PC no problem with my TV.

 

[shanafan]

What is Dynamic Resolution exactly? I am playing on my 4K/60hz monitor, and I set the vertical sync to 30 as well as the Max FPS at 30, with the scaled resolution at 3840 x 2160. I set the dynamic resolution to 60, thinking to make that native to my monitor. Would that make sense? My goal is 4K/30FPS.

I just played through the opening 'mission' in 4K/30FPS and it played pretty well. Only experienced a minor slowdown once for a mere second, but wasn't that bad other than that. I have my GeForce Experience FPS counter on, and it was locked at 30 the entire time.

I don’t have experience installed, but also, this file doesn’t exist for me. Hmm

Dynamic resolution dynamically drops the res to keep the framerate. You should put it on 30 if you’re playing at 30fps. Or set it to off if you don’t want it to ever drop the res.

Are you by any chance looking for it under Program Files (x86)?

 

[robotrock]

Yup, didn't think I saw an Nvidia folder in the regular program files. I'll take another look

edit: You were right!

 

[Smokey]

Looks pretty good. The constant fire everywhere looks great, contrasted with the rubble and greenery.

Did you have to use old (nvidia) drivers or did the new ones fix HDR?

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I'm seeing some performance impact from the Ultra textures now, there was a couple spots where it was dropping into the 30's, turning them back down to High increased the frame rate back to 60+.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Apparently I need to download the Creators Update for the HDR option. I thought windows 10 would have downloaded and installed that update automatically.

 

[Arrith]

Ok I think i'm done playing this game until it gets patched or something gets fixed, just got to a part of the game where gpu usage was 15-20%~ and fps was 20-22, card is not being pushed whatsoever. it's so bloody broken.

posted before but specs below.

OS: Windows 10 Pro
CPU: Ryzen 1700 @ 3.9Ghz
Ram: 16gig
Mobo: Asus Crosshair Vi
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti watercooled @ 1936Mhz
Resolution run at: 3440x1440p @ 100hz (acer x34) with gysnc on
Running off an SSD

This seems a common bug for Ryzen + 1080 Ti combination. But other Nvidia cards + Ryzen or Vega + Ryzen work just fine for various people. It's annoying that lowering the resolution or the detail settings doesn't affect the frame rate whatsoever. I stopped playing after getting frame rate drops to 40-48 FPS no matter my settings in the first town area with an Orc Captain. No idea if it would drop to 22 fps later like you are finding.

 

[Arrith]

Yeah t's very odd considering every other game plays great. I sent a ticket to WB support with every step I atttempted to try and fix it and as much information I could provide. Hope it helps and hope they can patch the issue.

 

[Korezo]

Do Nvidia driver updates improve performance for older gpus like the 980Ti, or are these game specific driver updates good only for current 10 series gpus?
