Will an i53570K bottleneck a 780ti? Feeling the urge to sell my soul to get one.

I always thought it was because the lighting wasn't being applied to the 2D stuff, but it was being applied to the fully rendered grass around Geralt. The horrible thing is all the grass would be that gross color if CDPR had fixed it.
To me the combat rebalance mod was worth more than fixing the grass was. I wonder why that mod doesn't play well with FCR though? I had a bunch of HUD mods running during my playthrough.

Yeah, I was hoping one of the two big fan mod/patches would fix it, but I haven't tried them yet.

I've enjoyed a couple of games of Warlock 2 but I think the jury is still out.
There are just enough negative interface quirks (such as selecting and deselecting units being fiddly) and the somewhat half hearted economy to stop me loving it.
But I've still got that "one more game/one more turn" feeling going, so it can't be too far off.

yeah. this is annoying.
That looks like the shade of green you get when grass is illuminated by a light source. I'm assuming he's not carrying anything that would shed light on the grass around him, so I guess I can see how that might bother someone. But it's definitely not "bright yellow".

Even just left click to select, right click to move would have improved matters (maybe there is an option somewhere). Many a time I'd click on a city to do something and a unit would decide to start heading there from across the universe.
Also the "helper button" or whatever it is called needs to be a bit smarter. To explain what I mean, if research is done the button will show "research complete" and will take you straight to it. But if you have already done this, the button doesn't update so you end up clicking it and having nothing happen.
Just little things like that seem to be hit all too often. Other than that it is a solid game.
PC gaming confirmed dead.

Man, if I sold my Oculus Rift on ebay(going for 500+) I could easily have enough for a 780ti. Plan on getting one of the new models so it wouldn't really matter but I'd be selling a piece of history :/
I was not trying to imply it was just you, simply that the entire game wasn't terrible from a technical standpoint because of one bug that doesn't seem exceedingly widespread

Not just because of that one bug, no. But also because of the horrendous LOD pop in and inability to use any sort of real AA.
And the grass thing is not a small bug, every single copy of the game looks like that now if it's patched to the latest version on a new save.

You didn't notice the grass magically turning yellow around Geralt's immediate vicinity?
What EE grass looks like:
What it's supposed to look like:
(not my screenshots)
This issue isn't mitigated by any settings or user.ini tweaks. It is what it is, the grass around Geralt turns bright yellow when you're close to it and then dark green again when you get about 2m away. Running through Act 2 is distracting as hell.
This mod was created to fix it, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the full combat rebalance now. Even though the creator of the FCR mentioned in his initial release as a mod that he liked playing with. -_-
I'm almost certain it doesn't look like that for me, I will download it tomorrow and check it out, I'm curious now that maybe I just didn't notice it.

You won't notice it until act 2. That's where it starts.

Okay, I'll check it out and post some screens if it's different.

You need to shill harder for the game to work again. Endorse more than you've ever endorsed before.

Yeah it's at least worth a go on the cheap
I almost bit during the last sale because it had cards -- but at the end of the day, I thought $16 or whatever was a little too much for me since I'm buried in my backlog.
It's really not that bad of an install process (it wasn't for me on Win8 at least). If you need a hand, send me a PM or a Steam chat message.
It found out about your love of Dino Crisis. Game over, man.

At this point I don't even think it wants more money.
It must have, I knew it would cause problems with other Dino games down the line.

Got it to work by putting in a DLL file.......So how the hell did it work before?
Just like the extinction of the dinosaurs, it will forever be a mystery.

That's the way I'm leaning at the moment. I remember when I sold my Ni No Kuni Wizard's Edition for 400 dollars. Totally crazy.
Edit: Is keeping a graphics card dedicated to physx still a thing? Remember reading about that years ago, just trying to decide if its worth keeping my 4GB670
-MD-
Member
I'm actually curious about this too, I'd like to hold onto my 660ti as a dedicated physx card if I can when I upgrade in a year or 2.
Don't we have some valid theories for that though?
Jawmuncher
Member
Valid but nothing 100% fact....though they might as well be.
Thanks for Commandos 2!

An Oculus Rift just sold on ebay for 610 dollars. Welp, I'm getting a GTX780ti. I am so weak ;-;
Edit: Witcher 2 talk just made me think the Ti should run the game at ubersampling at 60 FPS :O Third playthrough here I come!
Guy in the pc building thread said it's not really useful any more and benchmarks show it doesn't make much difference. Oh well!

Pop in was a huge issue for me as well.
That .dll was working fine until the giant meteor hit.
Why $610? Couldn't you pre-order it at $350?

People are buying the first kit for what I imagine would be collectors purposes. I am going to sell mine for a 780ti. My 670 just isn't enough these days. I love my absurd depth of field effects and supersampling

Even if it is a little rough around the edges it does look mechanically ambitious. There was one video I saw, maybe on the Steam store, where it showed the player using a global spell to cause a volcano to appear in a river. The cooling lava made a land bridge that allowed the player to cross to the a.i.'s base with his army. That looked cool, isn't there more of that in the game?
Age of Wonders 3 is well done but I haven't encountered anything mechanically neat like that. If Endless Legend wasn't coming out on Steam early access so soon I'd probably consider buying Warlock 2 sooner rather than later.
Ah Warcraft 2, I really grew to like that one, especially after playing Warcraft 3.
Also, is the AA option set to off in your game?
I got those stupid grass pop in in Witcher 2 too, I was pretty sure I fixed it in act 2 or that I didn't notice it but it happened again with the later area with the huge open field area, I installed all the fixes and pop-in fix and they were still there, so I ended up just ignoring it.

Yeah that is the main hook. You research spells over several turns and then get to unleash them (perhaps over several turns again). There are a lot of spells and hence a huge scope for creating your own tactics.
The thing is I'm not sure how many of those are viable? To get to a powerful spell, you have to research down quite a long tree and personally I wouldn't waste time to cross a river you could get around in other ways.
But maybe that is the game's strength once you get into it. Actually spending that time is the problem, given there are plenty of options with their own good parts and much more polish. Still, I'm glad I've spent at least some time with it and I still feel like I'll go back tonight for another long game.

Kinect Sports Rivals has pretty crazy water effects, aren't that many water based racing games I suppose.

Ha, I never bothered to check out the settings, I just dove into the game but to answer your question, yes, the AA is off. Turns out everything is defaulted to low and medium.
So far does it feel like it's worth the 30$?
Oh ya, after you have beaten the game you can select a specific day and play differently.
Should make the playfire achievements trivial.
Sigh....Ubisoft is annoying with all the region locking crap... The only way to get a cheap copy of Watch Dogs right now is through a third party site which means a Uplay key.
Looking at the key market right now, it's actually more expensive to buy the game with keys than directly on steam lol.

Seems like it's hard enough to beat the game normally though -- I'm on day 5 and it's a struggle to be fast enough to make enough money. :}
