I noticed that as well, it even tears in the cutscenes and Vsync does not help.

Game runs great for me. Locked 30 fps at 4k + maxed graphic settings. No screen tearing, audio glitches, or crashes so far.
Only using one of my GPUs as expected. Not that it matters with a 30 FPS cap.

In past games were were paying $3-4 per character so this is a lot cheaper.

Great tips, I'll apply those settings when I get home tonight. Thanks!

I went across a problem with Avira detecting the game as a virus.
Probably a false positive, but still not very reassuring.

Was getting this as well. Fixed it through the Nvidia control panel though.
Avira does that loads of times for steam games. For me at least.
Nothing to worry about!
Restart fixed the Vsync issue, thank god. There is nothing I hate more in games than screen tearing, that stuff is just nasty.

They should probably prompt the user that you need to restart. Luckily, I know this going into playing so I'll never have to see tearing.
Game works pretty good from what I saw. I skipped most cutscenes since I saw them already on PS4 version so I could check out how battles ran and how it looked in the open field.
bigger draw distance than the PS4 version is immediately apparent. Runs pretty smooth as well.
I'll be interested to hear how it is later in the game from people who are playing the full thing on the PC right away
I just wanted to start it and see how it ran.

This fixed my audio problems.
It's a bug, one they blogged about before launch that they are fixing. Right now none of your setting changes seem to take effect until you restart the game.

I know Tales games are kind of hit or miss, but... how bad is this one? For reference, the only two I've legitimately enjoyed enough to finish were Symphonia and Vesperia.
How is this game looking compared to the rest in the series?
Honestly, tales used to be one of my favorite ever and graces f shook me up with the worst story/character writing, but held me steady with one of the best customization systems you can get addicted to. Then Xillia and Xillia 2 came along and both make me give up on the series imo a constant downward quality spiral in terms of rpg design.
Personally, my favorite is Symphonia, while the best is prolly Vesperia.
This shit needs localization though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0dwFq9IF1Y
Edit: wow that above post.

Haha. Tales is like jRPG madden at this point. You're pretty safe to skip every other one (or more.) (Also none of them touch Symphonia/Vesperia.)
Bought Hearts on a whim for something to play at work, and stopped after about five hours, despite it being purely for playing while getting paid to do so.

Just woke up this morning, downloading now.
So from what I've read, there are 3 troubleshootings already for PC version:
1. Screen tearing: Force v-sync through nvidia/amd control panel
2. Audio issue: Set audio frequency to 48khz or below, 98khz will give you the problem
3. AVG issue: AVG is detecting false positive for Zestiria files, put the game folder to whitelist

Thankfully cheat engine is free.
Fixed my crash. For anyone that has crashes when it asks you to pick a language, the game seems to have issues with third party audio programs.
Others on Steam reported fixing it by disabling some Razer sound program, which I don't have. I do have Nahamic audio though, which was part of my MOBO's default software. Disabline that fixed it.
So basically the game seems to be really finnicky with audio stuff right now, if you have issues, fiddle with that sort of thing.

$22 for cheat codes? Holy fuck Bamco.
It's nothing new. goes back to Tales of Vesperia on the 360.

Been standard since Vesperia.
However, no need for cheat codes on ToZ PC. Cheat Engine means free cheating. Only reason to buy it is if you really don't want to use another program to cheat or don't trust another program.

That's it! It's so obvious!
Update your DirectX binaries people! Every other game on Steam forces a DirectX update on first launch, but ToZ doesn't do that for some reason. There it is, right there!

Plus who needs to cheat
it's a Tales game.
Unless you're going for all trophies/achievements and don't want to grind levels >.>

Everything working great for me. Running with 4k DSR to 1080p, solid 30fps (lol).
Load times are almost instant which is awesome after playing previous Tales games with long loading and tons of NPC pop-in.
If you're crashing you should probably check the usual suspects: latest directx, vcredist, and drivers.

Anyone having controller issues? I read about the keyboard one, but that's not the one I'm having.
Using a wii u pro controller since I don't have anything else, the down button is always held, making it scroll down in menus. I thought maybe the analog defaulted to a position when I synced it, but it doesn't seem like it. Resynced it and it still gave the problem. Any other game, I have no issues.
Edit: never mind, I think I know what the issue is

-I have to say, 20 hours in and the music is top tier Tales. Easily, too.
-I enjoy how the areas are vast and connected, especially once you get to
(name of the field, not really spoilers as such). It's refreshing coming from Tales of Xillia where at most there were 2 connecting routes max.
-Still not sure about only having 2 human / 2 seraphim characters in your battle party - makes it easier to exploit. Currently breezing through moderate difficulty.

Playing in 4k is beautiful. I'll never be able to go back.
If I had to hazard a guess, from experience the game is probably choking because it's trying to enforce a sample rate that another application has locked down for exclusive use (yay Windows)
edit: Beaten apparently.
OKAY I'm going to be playing this with M&KB because I figure that'd be hilarious (and I already platinumed JP anyway)

So... Apparently the crashes aren't linked to controllers or drivers or DirectX.
It's USB headsets. I just tried. I unplugged my USB headset and used the audio ports instead, and viola.
Fuck. There goes my 7.1

I had to change my audio output settings in windows to 48000Hz to get the audio to stop crackling.
Also this is the only Steam game I know of that doesn't let you broadcast it. You get a giant BROADCASTING IS DISABLED when trying to Steam broadcast.
Probably for the same reason as SHARE being disabled on PS4. Lucky PC has 3rd party applications to deal with that.
only get 40% usage with my 970 and it only clocks to 900mhz instead of 1500 lol
Specifically when stuff like this happens, it usually boils down to how drivers handle sample rate requests. Applications can take exclusive control over sample rates, and this causes problems with other programs that don't know how to compensate for this.
Before it was patched, Valkyria Chronicles for example didn't crash outright but certain SFX would simply play at the incorrect sample rate (lol)
So it's probably because your USB headset's plug and play driver isn't playing nice with sample rate change requests. If you plug it back in, go to windows sound properties, find it and force 48k it -should- work. (If I'm wrong, I'd really like to know)
You sure? Mine's working. There's no prompt that confirms it though.
Steam overlay not working for me.
