You should've been able to do 1440p60 on a 1070 without changing the GI settings. I've been running the whole game that way from the beginning

Yeah, the streaming stutters are actually worse with FAR than Vanilla + RTSS. So I'm not using FAR currently, and happy with 1080p60 vanilla.
Yeah, I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea to slightly clarify how GPU performance is significantly improved. And no harm, no foul. <3
Edit: Err, wouldn't be a bad idea. Fixed.
I've seen a bunch of people turn GI off entirely, likely because they've only tested it in areas where it doesn't do much.
Here's why you probably shouldn't do that.

Yeah i turned GI to the absolute lowest and its done wonders so far. I'm actually 60fps constantly at 720p so its a far better experience compared to the original release.

32 really seems the minimum value you'd want to avoid any visible change as for now.
Although I do wonder, it doesnt seems to bring much change on my side performances wise. Could it be related to an Nvidia/AMD thing ?
I've noticed differences with 32 as well (assuming medium is 32).
Only once so far and it was a patch of grass in the city ruins being unlit, but it happened.

What GPU do you have? I have an R9 290 and have not seen any noticeable performance increase going from the default value to off or anything other then default.

I have a 290 as well and am also not sure if I've seen any performance improvements, haha.
I haven't tried it extensively tough, should probably test it at 1440p.

In fact, I'd say the game ran better without the mod, which gave me bad framepacing.
I've messed around with it a little yesterday, but I can't get RTSS and ReShade to work with it, so I'll probably switch back to that.
Very interesting how there seems to be such a huge difference between AMD and NVidia cards.
Thinking back, AMD cards were performing better than equivalent NVidia ones, from the start, right? Might have something to do with that.
If true, there won't be a 'console fix' though.

/Sorry, wrong topic.
Might have something interfering with it like MSI afterburner running.

Does FAR play well with FRAPs as far as recording frametimes goes?
Usually fraps does not work at all with kaldaien's mods.
FAR already has a frametime monitor built in, not sure if it can log though.

Yeah, it goes 16/32/64/128 for the presets.

Hey guys, does anyone know the technical reason why characters and objects turn oddly blocky around the edges when being hit by light rays from the sun in the game? It's really weird.
edit: looks to have been discussed on the last page. carry on, gentlemen.

Ah okay, thanks! Also, how do I get rid of the overplay from the mod? Its kind of annoying.

Yeah this is the only fix I really need. Game is buttery smooth otherwise. (1070 and G-Sync)
I took a break from playing Horizon to boot up the game and stick Kal's mod on top of it:
2560x1440, Maximum settings. (including MSAAx8)
2xGTX980
i7-5930K @ 4.2 Ghz
16GB @ 3000Mhz 15-15-15-35
Installed on 2xSSD in RAID0
Also, I searched the OP for an SLI profile but I didn't find any, so perhaps JaseC can add it when he wakes up.
Scaling looks pretty good so far, more than decent, actually. I'm still very early in the game, but I've encountered no microstutters so far.
The prerendered video chugs like hell though. It's a blemish on otherwise a rather good port.

I know this isn't the PS4 thread, but I figure I'd ask here anyway in addition to the OP. So, I'm enjoying this game so far (I'm about 5 hours in) but like, the stuttering when I'm running around on my PS4 Pro is driving me NUTS. Like, I'll be running places and just having it stutter all over the place. Have they talked about this at all? Is a fix in the works? It's so frustrating.

How does this work? Also why is Github always so confusing.

People think it's an engine problem. Probably unlikely to be fixed. Maybe alleviated down the line though, as the game seems to be selling very well.
Got Ending A and am going to hold off on the rest so that I can give Kaldaien time to do his thing. Some stuff he's planning on doing, but no set time line:
I'm sure a performance patch is getting ready from Square Enix/Platinum. I might even play the game from the beginning just so I can enjoy the game how I wanted to. Especially with the pre-rendered cut scenes. Damn are they BAD.
Anyway. With the new patch... getting to play at higher resolutions makes the game's art direction look that much better.

Thanks. That's so disappointing.

For the cutscene stutter, the best way I've found to minimize it is to disable VSync and force FastSync in the NVIDIA control panel. It doesn't completely go away but it's minimized greatly and FastSync takes care of screen tearing for the most part. CPU speed seems to effect it too, you might be able to brute force through the stuttering if your CPU is fast enough.
JaseC, a couple things regarding FAR:
- The current version includes configuration for loading ReShade.ReShade's dxgi.dll needs to be renamed to ReShade64.dll, but no import section needs to be added to FAR's dxgi.ini, since a correct one is already in there.
- Using FAR and RTSS together tends to lead to problems; I believe Kaldaien's currently working on increasing support again, but if people are getting crashes, performance issues, or FAR's OSD/control panel won't show up, this combination may be the cause.
- Switching to Testing branch is no longer necessary, the feature is included in Main.
- By default it won't set the quality to Low, it's kept at the game's default. One needs to manually turn it down in the control panel (Ctrl+Shift+Backspace).

just booted the first 10 min. ran fine at 1440/60 on 980/25k 4.5, but damn the textures looked like shit.
The game's models and some of the textures are quite good, but others look like they're from a GCN/PS2 era game. There's this one texture on a box in the Resistance Camp that is the blurriest looking thing I've seen in a modern generation game.
Bloody hell
So this is better on PS4Pro? Wanted to PC this so bad
If you use something like Borderless Gaming for fullscreen and just use the AA that comes with the AO setting (don't turn on regular AA) it runs better than on PS4Pro with a decent to good rig. Looks about the same though unless you're running at a higher resolution than 1080p.

I'm sure it gets better! I literally just put in 10 min. I will come back once I am done with Zelda. I just wanted to test it out. but yeah ran great for me so far!
