Yeah, i remembered similar problem in AC4:BF which i played recently, game does not have triple buffering support (and poorly optimized generally) and drops to 30 frequently. But alt-tabbing fixes that, strangely.

Being able to play a game on PC is no consolation if it can't be played reasonably and without too much of a headache.
I expect that from the normal Win32 games I get from Stean, Origin, and Uplay. I expect nothing less from any game I'd potentially get from the Win10 store.
None of something is better than that something being bad.
I'm playing the game on XB1 right now and loving it, but these technical issues for QB PC are depressing.
August.
So what exactly are all the issues. Poor FPS with massive stuttering, plus no G-sync or SLI support (G-sync support may eventual come but don't hold your breath for any SLI support ever)? Also, is it not rendering at native resolutions? But then again, sounds like you have to run the game at 1080p anyway to try to achieve 30 fps stable frame rate which isn't even possible?
Also, DX12 has been a huge disappointment so far with every game. It only seems good for people with weak CPUs. Not having built in SLI means SLI support will be even more sketchy/lackluster.

This is bullshit reasoning. Not only was Steam a pioneer in what it was doing, that was over a decade ago, at the launch of one of the most ambitious, anticipated and critically acclaimed PC games of all time.
By comparison, Microsoft cannot even muster the effort to match even the likes of CDProjekt Red, who can somehow put together a better digital PC storefront with a fraction of Microsoft's budget and market presence.
This is also untrue. The very act of dropping UWP into the PC platform shows that Microsoft have no concerns about imposing an inferior standard on end users and developers on their platform if it will give them residual benefits to their (and only their) consoles/device businesses. UWP only helps you if the "multiple platforms" you wish to support are Xboxes and Windows phones/tablets only.
Hmmmm....so what happens if you create a 1080p-4k 30hz profile and run under that setting?
Surely someone has tried that...?

Some people are reporting that it's running fine now, on full settings. Now there are two camps on reddit. "It's completely broken" and "It's working fine."
Is it level dependent or like the same exact level suddenly performing better?
I'm confused.
Nop.
I get that it doesn't run well in comparison to average PC games. But it does run better than an average console game. That's my point. ^^
My biggest point of criticism is that QB isn't cross buy. You should be able to buy it once, and play it on PC and XBO.
When there are plenty of other offerings on the same platform that run much better and don't restrict things unecessarily there's no reason to support something like a bad port.
Can we stop comparing this to Steam??????
Not only did GFWL exist (sort of) but MS has been managing OS's and digital download stores for AGES. Are you fucking kidding me with this defense shit?
Just say... "Hey, I love my XONE and now that the games are all cross buy and cross play that is awesome for me and gives me more options. It sucks that people who aren't XONE owners are getting shafted paying full price for games where all the back end tech details don't seem to have been worked out yet, but for me, I am happy with this UWP initiative, and having the ability to play these games on my PC once all the kinks have been worked out"
Its a reasonable position that allows you to expound on why UWP is a nice thing for you, without it forcing you to double down on unreasonable positions, or sound like a marketing agent.
You're welcome.

Microsoft makes the entire $60 when selling on PC since its only available on their own digital store
That's way higher than the X1 physical version which includes retailer margin, manufacturing costs/distribution etc.
So its actually even more profitable for Microsoft than retail X1 games (though the same as X1 digital sales of course)
The fact that people are actually bringing up the "day 1 Steam wasn't great either" shit again......................
TITAN Xs are struggling with this

The problem is even worse @ 4k. Even if you limit the the fps to 30 you'd still have spikes to 80 or even 100ms...
That's not true. M$ wants you to use their development platform not only for Windows-based devices.
I feel that only a fucking blind fool would give MS the benefit of doubt when PC gaming is involved.
You should be confused. There is a lot of mixed reactions coming out today. It works, it doesn't, it's up scaled, it's better at highest resolutions. It's Windows 10s fault, it's UWP's fault, it's Remedy's fault. etc etc.
Except if you want to play QB on your PC.
Sure you can play, I for one don't mind buying games on other platforms, if they perform poorly and lack options that's a whole different matter. Essentially you can put up with mistreatment of the platform but others don't have to if they feel strongly about it.
I guess the lack of options really is a problem for some PC gamers. But I would guess that an average console gamer doesn't mind those restrictions.
But again all this only works out if the game is true cross-buy, which isn't the case for QB. I hope this will change for future (true) UWP games, else I don't think the UWP games are an enrichment.
But what if I'm only willing to pay full price for functional software? I don't think that's absurd stance. I mean, if people are right, and its Batman levels of mess...
that game got PULLED FROM THE STORE. WB pulled their own game from the store because it was so unacceptable.
Will MS do the same? Should they be expected to?
Do you understand how MS has already shit the bed with us, and when their new initiative is:
a. such a mess, and
b. restrictive, even ever so slightly,
do you understand how we might react? Are you young? Do you not know how many times they have pulled the rug out from under pc games?

The "average console gamer" has a console to play this game on, who gives a fuck what they think about QB's PC restrictions? They are not the audience for this version of the game, despite what Microsoft seems to think the PC market is.

Literally nothing that UWP does was needed for them to get the game on PC.
So nope, try again.

I've been keeping up with this thread as much as possible, but I'm at work so I haven't been able to entirely stay up to date. So, I apologize if this has been covered. So far I've only seen people with nVidia GPU's talking about poor performance. Has anyone with an AMD GPU, specifically, the Fury line chimed in?

guys, i can`t buy Quantum break because the windows 10 store buy button is grayed out. It tells me to get the newest windows update. I am up to date. There is a link. When i type it into firefox it tells me to download " getwindows10-sds.exe" This File is there to upgrade to windows 10. but i already have and in the windows controls under "activation" it tell me my windows 10 is active...
Does anybody know how to fix this?

I don't know what's worse, finding out that those of us who pre-ordered the X1 version, potentially, have to wait a week to a week-and-a-half to play this version, or that this is one of the worst ports on the platform...ever.

Well then it's doing you a favour.
All we've had is this gem so far:
Better volumetric lighting and shadows, IQ is identical aside from that although it's not easy to judge bearing in mind Youtube's bitrate.
what cpu do you have? What's the frame pacing like?

I do know about GFWL and all that stuff, but the Windows 10 and UWP initiative is something different. It clearly is a long term strategy, of which we are witnessing the first steps. We haven't even seen the first true UWP games. Wait for Forza to judge the platform, QB just happens to be a sub average port.
I for instance don't really care about the fancy stuff of PC gaming. I just want to be able to buy a game and then play it in my living room on my console, and during the week being able to play it on my laptop + controller. So for me this new platform is exciting.
Right now, the only alternative would be Steam Machines, but then I don't really like SteamOS.

Well optimised on my end, can do Ultra above 30fps for a 970M (MSI GT 70). Stunning game. Glad I got it for PC instead of buying a Xbox One 
Anyone know how to get capture working? I use Mirillis Action and Shadowplay.

Hey Dictator, remember when we discussed if the recommended settings where for gaming at 1080p/30fps (as if the game was doing something really incredible)?
It looks like Remedy read your post, but got it the wrong way =/
If we go by this poster experience, much worse:

Come on now, it works great with the latest release of Dolphin! I assumed that was the intention of DX12, to make old Wii games run better?

"Wait for the games to release before judging"... Gears releases and has a lot of problems.
"Wait for Build so that Phil Spencer can bless you with his kind words of PR wisdom"... Build comes and goes and nothing changes.
"Wait for Quantum Break to release, Remedy know what they are doing!"... Quantum Break is a shitshow.
And now we have "Wait for Forza to judge the platform"? Seriously?
Get outta here, we've seen enough. It's shit.
