[GatticusFinch]

Fills the screen, FRAPS screenshot says it's 3440x1440 but it doesn't look like internal rendering is happening at that res, it's very blurry.

People on Steam forums reporting that the game renders at a lower resolution and then upscales to native resolution and there's no way to change FOV.

That's unacceptable.

 

[jon bones]

Welp he doesn't deserve my money then.

😂😂😂

 

[GarciaHotspur]

lol at the numbers of messages about graphics options ^^

glad i'm playing on PS4, and don't waste time on this

 

[anddo0]

So do I out music on over it or no? Not sure I can do 40+ hours of just footsteps and the occasional mechanical noise.

I play my own music while solving the puzzles. I pause the music for everything else.

I would advice you not to.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

So, the PC options are quite disappointing. Not possible to choose resolution. One general quality setting, fullscreen/windowed and vsync/off - that is it. Screenshot:

In-game settings are the same.

Well now I'm pissed. I comfy couch so I need to increase Windows to 125%. This makes games think I'm actually running at 720p if I can't manually change the resolution.

What was he thinking???

 

[MaxiLive]

Anyone having this issue?

No shadows...

 

[JaseC]

Steam says the game doesn't support controllers but it works just fine. Using steam controller with analog as well as kb/m bindings

Partial controller support generally means full controller support in the game itself but a launcher that needs kb&m input, which is the case here.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

So.....did you get an answer from Rudds? I'm really curious if you stumbled on some end game related that early in the game or if it was something Brad hadn't seen yet.

Not yet! I *think* we're on the same page but I'm really curious if we had the same experience.

So do I out music on over it or no? Not sure I can do 40+ hours of just footsteps and the occasional mechanical noise.

There's a ton of ambient noise - I wouldn't worry. There's a lot of sound even without music.

 

[brobban]

Alright, so before I make up my mind about which platform to go with, I need to know the following:
- What is the actual resolution on PC since it can't be set?I run a 2560x1440 screen, and anything below is unacceptable.
- On PS4, what's the framerate, and is it locked?

 

[KJ869]

Steam is released but humble is not? wtf?

Humble looked like a bit of a shitshow on the stream. I was hoping to get it downloading before I have to go into work, but I guess not :/

 

[The perfect Dark]

I don't get some of the puzzles. Not because they're too difficult. I just have no idea what the symbols mean. How am I supposed to get the right information?

Confirmed to be rendering at 1920 x 1080, but a work around is supposedly on the way. http://steamcommunity.com/app/210970/discussions/0/458606877334581395/

Certain parts of the island will teach you what they mean and how to solve it. If you're confused then you haven't found the 'tutorial' yet

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

i hope a Vita port happens. Would like to use the touch interface for the puzzles.

 

[hort22]

dont have the game yet...but some people are saying how many panels they have solved followed by and x and another number...what does that mean?

There's a reason you can't alter FOV. You'll find it at some point.

Locate the tutorial panels. Explore more.

 

[Hedon]

So PS4 or PC version...any verdict yet? Either way Ill be playing on a 1080p TV with a controller (DS4 or 360 pad).

Just curious if they are graphically identical.

I have it on Windows and my son has it on PS4. The PC version looks much better.

 

[JudgmentJay]

From the Steam thread:

Thanks - yep it's rendering to 1920x1080 for some reason, give me 5 mins to poke about, I'll have a workaround for you all...

 

[brobban]

The actual resolution appears to be 1920x1080 and then upscaled to native resolution. Here's the ongoing discussion: http://steamcommunity.com/app/210970/discussions/0/458606877334581395/

Thx for the answer!
I sure hope it's possible to tweak in some ini-file.
If the PS4-version is 60hz locked, I'll probably go with that instead.

 

[Wind's Howling]

I hope this game sells in the millions for Blow.

He deserves it. This is one masterpiece of a game.

Thanks. Apparently one guy there is officially affiliated with either the witness or steam or something. Says he'll provide a resolution fix shortly.

 

[samred]

It's not

Spoiler

footsteps but appears to use the same concept as the jungle -- there are a bunch of water droplet sounds at various pitches that trigger when you stand in front of it but I can't work out the sequence.

I have been stuck on this specific spot for... three months now.

Spoiler

I have walked all over the ship, tried to hear noises at each spot, gone to other parts of the island looking for more clues about its colored dots, and on and on and on.

I might finally cave in on this one in terms of looking for help from the hive mind.

There's only one other spot I'm stuck on. Not gonna talk about that one yet, not even with Spoiler tags. But holy shit.

 

[GatticusFinch]

There's a reason you can't alter FOV. You'll find it at some point.

I know some of the puzzles rely on the player's viewpoint, but that's a shame for people who get motion sickness from certain FOVs.

 

[therealminime]

From the Steam thread:

Just saw that. Glad they are on it. The game will be glorious at native res.

 

[JaseC]

He's a Thekla employee as per the PC name in the log he posted (ANDYS_PC_THEKLA).

 

[AsfaeksBR]

So, my game has no sound at all. And it looks like a common bug because a lot of people are complaining about it on the Community...

 

[Afro]

for PC dudes, I had to leave v-sync checkmarked for it to cap at 144hz on my g-sync. just a tip.

Oh good. I was worried for a minute.

Native resolution 4 lyf

Huh? Weird. So is it actually rendering at a high frame rate then?

 

[therealminime]

Definitely is. I uncapped vsync and FRAPS was showing between 150 and 300+ fps.

 

[kizito]

So, is the game compatible with Oculus Rift DK 2 ? Did anyone try it ?

 

[Mushroomer25]

Would anybody be interested in trading a Steam key of this game for a PS4 copy? I write for a small gaming site, publisher sent us a PS4 code, trying to play it on PC if possible.

 

[KJ869]

Humble is out!

 

[BLUElightCory]

Welp he doesn't deserve my money then.

GAF priorities.

Never mind the eight years of development time, millions of dollars of development costs, and 40-100 hours of gameplay. There aren't enough PC customization options. Shut it down guys!

 

[Grexeno]

Someone help me out with this puzzle that I appear to have solved, but doesn't seem to be continuing in its chain.

Spoiler

In the structure under construction right by the pier, there's a blue panel where you guide a green dot through without touching the shadows left by branches. I got a green solution, but there are two other wires coming out of the panel, leading to a box on the ground where the third, green wire also leads to, with a single wire coming out.

 

[Belgian Dude]

Going to take a break. 252 puzzles solved and boy is this game great.
Currently at the desert ruins, stuck in

Spoiler

the rectangular grid after the water room. I can see the solution but some wooden boards don't let me input it.

Is it near the orange trees? If it is what I think it is, the wires go underground in the directions of the orange trees

Same here..

Edit: switching to stereo from 5.1 in my sounds settings is working, as a temporary fix..

 

[MarineMountie]

Some of the puzzles dont make sense to me. Spoiler even though its not a spoiler, just playing it safe.

Spoiler

im in a garden area with a couole mazes to walk through. Not hard mazes. Im opening up doors, but its just by luck because there is nothing around to give me any guidance on what would solve the line puzzle. At first i thought it might be the maze route, but most arent even mazes, just shrubs to walk around. Any idea what i should be looking for?

 

[GhaleonEB]

I played this for 45 minutes before work. In hindsight that was a tactical error.

I'm more than a little distracted right now.

75 puzzles in before I realized

there are audio file collectibles

retracing 2 hours of wandering was fun.

Resolution options are like the bare minimum one should do.

 

[marmoka]

I already started downloading the game. 90 minutes to finish.
