Support NeoGAF

does the division make use of SSD loading speed? the reason i ask is because after patch 1.5 the game tends to load (bottom right of the screen) a lot while in the dz when chasing rogues or being chased and when its loading, you cant sprint! your character starts jugging and then slows down to BoO entrance walk. while this is happening, you can see things populating on screen all the while the rogues in front of you are sprinting away. this didnt happen as often in 1.4 but it now seems to happen all the time in 1.5 and rogues are using it to there advantage by running through mobs of enemies (named locations) to aggro them which slows the game down

anyways ran a couple of challenge lex. missions last night, surprised at how easy it was to run it solo on challenge. recovery link was only used once. the flame thrower is a good crowd controlling device

 

[Neuromancer]

so I recently picked up a new copy for ps4 when it was down to $10.
I installed game and 1.5 update
game keeps crashing upon the login screen.
is this a known issue?
is anyone else experiencing this?
is there a fix?

I'm a bit freaked out cause my friend also got a copy and this started happening to him then his hdd failed so while I don't think they're connected I just want some piece of mind with it.

My friend and I both tried to play last night and we got crashes at the same point. Has Ubisoft said anything about this? It's the first time its happened to us.

I would imagine most players are in Tier 5 already sans for new players to the game. I would suggest doing activities that are solo-able to your play-style (Search and Destroy, Daily HVTs, Hard Missions [Challenging if you can handle them], Underground Ops, etc) until you get enough gear to put together any kind of decent Frankenstein-type build allowing you to move into Tier 5 where it will surely be more populated and where you'll be getting the highest level gear to create whatever you want to for more of a long-lasting experience, well, until the 1.6 Update drops next year.

That said, if gear isn't all that important to you and you just wanted to play I doubt you'll have much luck anyways otherwise doing activities you want and when you want in a lower Tier if looking for group play.

Couldn't you grab a couple caches to inflate the GS and jump into t5?

thanksngor the help Gazza!

Free to play this weekend via uPlay for anyone on the fence whether to buy it or not. I can't wait, want to see the quality difference between what I play on (PS4) and PC, especially with the higher framerate.

For pc users, is it optimised reasonably well? My PC spec roughly is msi gtx 970, 16GB ram, amd 8350 fx cpu, will it cope ok at 1080p on high settings?

A PC patch was released today to address performance issues as well as support for DX12.

Downloading now.

That said, I never had any issues with the PC version. Maxed visual settings at 60 FPS. Running an i7, GTX 1070, with 16 GB RAM.

I was playing some co-op Survival last night on Xbox One and it's a night and day difference on PC. I have all the consoles and enjoy them for different reasons but if a game today deserves to be experienced at 60 FPS compared to it's console brethren it's The Division. A pure joy to play on PC.

 

[GazzaGSi]

Anyone on PS4 available to assist with a Tier One run? Trying to wrap up Underground stuff before survival hits - GT is my name here

I still need that trophy too, is it just a 1 phase challenging with 5 directives? PSN ID is same as my username.

but if a game today deserves to be experienced at 60 FPS compared to it's console brethren it's The Division. A pure joy to play on PC.

Excellent, looking forward to trying it out.

 

[Wag]

1.6 Patch is out on PC. DX12 renderer, no multi-GPU support. lol

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Excellent, looking forward to trying it out.

Gonna try the new NVIDIA drivers released today as otherwise The Division is currently unplayable (visual wise not performance) in DX12 due to problems with the shadows

Edit: It looks like there is a problem with NVIDIA's HBAO+ ambient occlusion setting concerning the lighting/shadow issues. Setting it to Ultra fixes the issues. Seeing an extra 10 FPS on average in DX12. I don't feel like messing with switching drivers at the moment, I'll try the new ones tomorrow to see if it fixes the issue with NVIDIA HBAO+.

 

[GazzaGSi]

PROOOOOOOOOOO support baby ))) no details confirmed on what will be implemented but on state of the game right now they've said support coming Tuesday with survival.

Nice! The game already looks great.

 

[Effect]

So is anything suppose to happen or be released when they reach 2.0?

Woah, awesome! I didn't expect it, but it's super appreciated. I like that Ubisoft is going back to some of their older games to add support. Great stuff.

 

[LogicStep]

Can i play survival with my friend if I'm not lvl cap but he is?

 

[fr0st]

Can i play survival with my friend if I'm not lvl cap but he is?

you should be able to since everyone starts out the same

 

[Aspirations26]

Can i play survival with my friend if I'm not lvl cap but he is?

Yeah you should be fine. I was playing with my friend who is around level 26. These survival matchmaking queue's are brutal though. Even for only 2 people I have waited 30 mins or so without a match. Kind of kills the mood and I really enjoy survival too.

 

[Iceman829]

I can dump some tips for survival mode if anyone is looking for them. I've only done co-op in pve and have done both pve and pvp alone.

 

[EL CUCO]

We did it boys!

 

[BHK3]

Usually when a game gets a performance update its for vulkan or DX12 or higher end cards than mine, have any gtx 970 users seen gains?

 

[suedester]

PC totally seizing up whilst discovering files trying to update. Really annoying. Going to have to delete and redownload. Grr.

 

[Insane Metal]

Holy shit! Survival next week ALREADY? I'm sooo happy!

And Pro support... wow! Awesome! I might finally get the Pro to get The Division in 4K*

Spoiler

Checkboarded

It's a shame no more details were given like a higher res or improved textures etc but can't wait to try it out next Tuesday.

Just fired up the game on PC for the first time and leveled up to 3. I wish I knew it looked as good as it does and played so smooth earlier, I would have bought this a good time back. Gonna enjoy the free weekend and probably buy it even though I've played so many hours on the X1 version.

I just came on to say the same, I about fucking cried when I realised how much better it looks, like omg everything looks pristine compared to what I've been used to.

I've been playing on pc at 4k/30fps High and 1080/60fps ultra. The IQ has blown me away at 4k even though 60fps is nicer to play.

I'm a complete peasant atm as I just plugged my PS4 controller in to play with that because I couldn't be arsed to setup all the key bindings lol but the difference has shocked me, I new it would look better but didn't realise quite so much.

 

[darkwing]

Pro support finally confirmed, now to find me a Pro, which is basically sold out in my area fml

 

[Spenny]

All right, I'm back into this game. Because of Survival it went from my disappointment of the year to being a good game again. Fuck this mode is fun. Looking for friends to play with on Xbox One.

[Ullus]

Been getting a ton of crashes after the recent patch on PC.

 

[Northern_Manny]

The Barrett/Lex grind has won, approaching nearly 200 runs and a shed load of proficiency caches and no chest piece.

I'll be back upon survival release (but probably tomorrow )

 

[Miggytronz]

Man I haven't played this game in months. With this Pro patch coming and DLC I think I'm back on board!

Specialised back pack at The Cavern for those who still haven't managed to get a decent one.

Firearms
Armour
Bleed resistance

Not bad rolls neither, either take off bleed for ammo capacity or try and increase the armour or firearms stat (or roll to stamina if you need stamina).

LVOA-C with vicious, deadly, destructive at special equipment vendor (phx creds)

 

[nightmare-slain]

i'm new to the game. bought it a while back but only started playing. right now i'm at lvl 11. i have a little experience in games like this such as diablo 3/destiny. that's actually what got me interested. i love collecting loot.

my firearm/stamina/electronics are roughly at about 4K each right now. i've been trying to balance them out evenly. do a lot of people play this way? i think i might try focus on firearm/stamina and leave electronics where it is. i'm not sure exactly what difference it makes to my skills by increasing electronics and feel i'd be better with higher DPS and health. I'm still learning how everything works. sometimes an item will say it raises/lowers a stat but when i equip it then it actually works out better. i think it might be because my weapon is increasing my firearm stat. i really don't know.

i'm just trying to figure everything out right now. i'm playing solo and really enjoying the game right now. not sure about the dark zone. the game says i should try it out but i thought it was end game? should i wait until i'm lvl 30 before going in?

does it come with a good base damage? the one i use has a base of 18.9 (5638 fir.) with destructive/unforgiving/responsive (all my main weapons coincidentally all have the same talents....lvoa-c, mp5 st, mg5)

billy155, my setup is 5k+ dps, 6K+ stamina, 3k+ electronics. i also have one or two pieces that could be changed out depending on the situation to have more dps or more stamina

Probably not going to be an improvement, 16.4k @ 5104 FA:

 

[Mullah88]

yeah no, the enemy armor damage is low 18% compared to 23%

 

[CRS]

So I stopped playing this a bit before incursions (1.1) rolled out and everyone was trying to get the perfect roll on their Vectors.

Is there any tips for me now that I'm gonna start playing again?

Also, should I get the DLC or can I play a bit more without picking one up?

Thanks for the heads up, been on the lookout for both of them to complete my build.

Man, it seems like this game has been out for a lot longer than it has been considering that was just about 8 months ago concerning the Vector-craze.

 

[Miggytronz]

So I spent all night playing this with friends. We all bailed on this game months ago.

Holy hell we are loving this game all over again!

 

[Blackpanther25]

Just got back the division today. So many changes.
Are the search and destroy quests only available with the underground DLC?

I cleared a whole sector of encounter and side mission but I still can't access S&D at the safe house.

 

[kris.]

Shit, tried the free weekend expecting mediocre. 2 hours in and I'm having a blast so I went ahead and bought it. This is so much more fun than I expected.

edit: i don't have many Steam friends so if you're playing on PC and want someone to dick around with, hit me up. uhhhkris

 

[Lanrutcon]

Score.

Lightweight M4 with Brutal/X/Ferocious with no requirements. Slapping Destruction on that asap.

 

[WarMacheen]

well....played the hell out of The Division on Xbox One and stopped long ago. Played the free weekend...guess I'm buying the PC version...wtf am I doing

 

[Evolved1]

God... I'm so lost coming back to this. Idk. Idk...

 

[Insane Metal]

Welcome back, guys. I keep on playing this nonstop... lol

Edit: I just saw that I have 536h of gameplay. Holy shit.
