Downloading the Mega archive now. Thanks man!
Almost perfect now!
I still get some stutter here and there, but it's performing much better.
Edit: I spoke too soon, still getting some nasty drops, at least it's playable.

I was just looking at that. Going to try it myself when I have time.

My fullscreen is borked even with that dll running.
Hmm, I think it improved my performance. With no AA and medium settings, I'm getting 45+ FPS fullscreen. Not bad.
Though for some reason, the game keeps kicking me back to windowed mode. Not sure why.

That Kaldaien fix is really great.
Why does this games AO make all the colors so washed out? Looks nasty to me, might need to try that Reshade.

Note that if you turn off the in-game AO, you may need an external form of AA (like reshade's SMAA), since the game's post-processing AA is tied to the AO option.

Does anyone else's game look like this when you look at the sky in certain areas? I'll link and spoiler the image just in case.
GTX970 i7-2600 8GB RAM, 1080p. AA: off, Texture-Filter: 2x, everything else is on high/ on. Is pretty much consistent 60fps. Turning AA even to 2x makes the frame rate go down to 50 or so.
The big areas like the city look a bit arse in the distance, but actually pretty good up close in my opinion. The visual effects are very flashy tho. And the animations are just sexy as fuck.
Only two issues I had:
1) Needs Borderless Gaming for resolution fix
2) Random screen freeze once, which caused me to repeat like 30 mins of the game. Save your game people!
Was a bit skeptic reading this thread, but as mentioned, I'm having no issues with frame rate using the settings above. To me this is like a mix of FFXV and MGR:R, but better than both.

I took some screenshot today after tweaking some settings with the Reshade pack robgrab posted.
Ultimately, I think the game needs two things: removal of the green filter and less blur. Adding the tonemap setting and sharpening filters in Reshade fixes these (the former seems to replace with a brown filter instead). Screen comparisons below.
Also, I've noticed better performance and visuals with Reshade AO (MXAO) vs the in-game AO so I've been using that. I'm playing at 3440x1440 and getting FPS in the mid-40s while outside in the city and low-high 50s in the building areas. I have a G-Sync monitor so the lower frame rate doesn't bother too much. Also, I don't think the game really needs AA (at least not at my resolution) so I've been disabled in-game AA using 2x AA in the Nvidia Control Panel settings although I'm not sure if that is actually doing anything.
PC Specs:
- i7-6700K @ 4.5GHz
- GTX 1080 @ 1936Mhz
- 32GB RAM @ 3000Mhz
- 512GB MX300 SSD

Kaldaien's fix is working wonders. The game used to fluctuate between 59.3 and 59.8 with a busted framerate limiter. Now it runs smoother and is finally locked into 60.0FPS instead of the jerky fluctuation that it was having before. There are some hitches every so here and there, but it's better than what the base game was giving me.
I decided to turn off ReShade and used the games AO without AA.

that a custom resolution you created there?

is Kal's fix only useful if you're going above 1080p resolutions/fullscreen? Does it work well w/ borderless windowed?
How do you bring up that control panel?
If you're running borderless window there is no reason to run Kal's fix. Kal's fix is for fullscreen.
he expalins it in the steam forums link, but ctrl + shift+ backspace

I've got a 680 and an i7 3770, you guys think I should get this on PC or on my PS4 Pro?
Maybe I'll just buy on PC and refund if it's questionable.

Time to give this one more shot before a refund attempt. Only got 30 mins before I hit that 2hr mark.

You won't need borderless gaming or RTSS with his fix.

So how does one do this? All I see are encrypted files.

Easiest way is to just use the automated installer

The automated installer works really well. Go for that, much easier.
The PC port is good. It has some minor problems that are easily fixed right now. Overall it's still better than the PS4 version.
No, at worst he's gonna have to update it alongside steam updates.
Were you running fullscreen before? Without this mod fullscreen would have only been rendering 900p so that's why it may seem like it's performing worse now.
I have been using both, FS and borderless.
But even if it were just the upgrade in res, it wasn't like dropping to 40 FPS, it was stuttering/dropping to like 0. And I have a 1080. Same areas in borderless don't have the issue.
Edit: Decided to reinstall and now....it works fine? I think. At least those same areas aren't repeating the drops again. Maybe the installer screwed up the first time.
overall the framerate is more consistent with the fix, less of those 59-60fps stutters, but I get more drops to 57fps when running through the forest area (while gpu is still only at 80% utilization) which I'm sure wasn't there before.
looks like it's a caching thing? someone mentioned to disable dx11 texture caching and it helped, but then I'll get frequent 59.5fps drops like originally lol
edit: yeah i'm going to stick with the 59.5fps stutters, can't stand the larger drops.

It's just because the developer decided to group the AA together with the AO feature. They are separate, just controlled (toggled) by the same setting.

Close RTSS if you have it open, it didn't work for me until I closed it. Maybe is that or some other form of overlay. (steam one works fine though)Tried the automated installer, still can't get the fix to work.
My performance is far better now on fullscreen.
Still getting the freeze on frame > crash though, the last time it happened I had to hard reboot my PC ._.
