My most important advice would be not to read any guides before your first playthrough, just play the game at your own pace.

In the map? Or when aiming/camera? In the map I think it just sort of pulls you towards icons. I didn't notice any acceleration though.
Have AF and Vsync forced through Inspector, using Gedosato SMAA right now.
Just in the menus so far.

There's actually some validity to that, they did the same for binary domain. You can tell because at the part where you look at the tablet in Dan's hands on console, if you move the analog and hold it he will look off to the sides of the tab, on PC he will look off to the sides and then reset as though you'd let the analog reset to the middle.
Don't. It breaks background gamma for some of the static backgrounds in "talking head" cutscenes (which are actually "pre-rendered" once during loading).
This game has the best overwatch system I've ever seen in any SRPG. USE IT.

The scoots are the most overpowered class. If you want to beat the game easily, just use them.
I'll be building a gaming PC later down the future(like in a year), but what's the possibility this will come out for the mac?
What AA solution are you using Durante?

I've noticed this in a few posts, so I'll just put it out there: they are shocktroopers, not stormtroopers. Wrong franchise
LoL. I did not event think of star wars when I posted it, rather, WWI bollox.
I would imagine lots of downsampling. I keep the downsampling to quite a minimum so everything runs ~120fps.
Downsampling from 4480x2520 with bicubic scaling.
I'm thinking about creating a specific plugin for this game to fix the smaa issue, but it seems like overkill if I could rather use those 3 or so hours to actually play it.

The Ruhm makes most of the game comically easy. I wouldn't even use it if you want the game to be challenging.
Furthering my Napkin Math Contributions™, I would suspect that forecasts called for 25-30,000 full price unit sales within the fiscal year, with maybe an additional 10-15k during the holiday sale. That would've been enough to finance the port and bring in a little bit of additional profit.
Instead, counting preorders, they seem to have roughly doubled that first figure inside of a week, and now, especially factoring in potential Christmas seasonal sale participation, we're seriously looking at the possibility of Valkyria Chronicles PC selling six-figure unit sales and pulling in somewhere around, or north of, two million dollars in pre-tax, pre-split sales revenue by January 1st, 2015. Who the hell even knows what sales by the end of the fiscal (March 31, 2015 for most companies) will look like, especially if VC squeezes a daily or weekly deal in post-Christmas.
So yeah, I have no doubt this is torching expectations. I myself thought it would do okay, and I would've said 20k in the first week was doable, but completely toppling AC: Unity, even with the troubles that game has, and at least holding out against CoD and Football Manager (which, as discussed, is enormous on Steam) is more than even I would've expected.

I just tried the infamous chapter 7.
At first I was like "eh, ok, looked pretty threatening, but that's not that difficult to handle." And then Selvaria arrived and wrecked my troops. Her Lancers and the canon of the giant tank then destroyed the Edelweiss.
See what I mean lol?

I've already beaten the game and gotten all A ranks on the PS3, I'm mostly just playing around here. I might enjoy using an overpowered weapon this early on.

Oh, well in that case just stick it on Vyse or Rosie and go to town. Hope you enjoy ridiculous nonsense like watching Vyse

I'm having a little trouble getting GeDoSaTo to downsample for me.
I created an user profile and typed in the rez I wanted to run (renderResolution 3600x1800@60) and saved. I ran the VC config program and set it 1920x1080@60 and when in game I brought up the OSD it said no downsampling and generic plugin.
I know it's something I'm not understanding, but can somebody point me in the right direction.

You select the resoultion in the game options too. So in the VC launcher, select the same resoultion you set in GeDoSaTo.

Cheers, I knew it was something I was getting wrong.
Played the game for many hours yesterday, no bugs. Then today the first mission I do...
That happened after the first step I took. Seemingly kept falling indefinitely, fell so far in that moving the map moved his icon.

I found it amusing this happened with the guy with Sonic's VA.
Yup, that tank is not what you should be worried about dying to.I just tried the infamous chapter 7.

Okay, I opted for some MSAA forced through Nvidia Inspector on top of downsampling from 4K. You will probably tell me that is redundant at best
Gah, I don't like how the game pushes you to rush missions. I'm always the type that likes to take things slow and kill everything.
Still liking the game. Would be even better if there were more classes and they were better balanced (scouts feel too good so far because of the above. their movement is just ace).

:lol Oh god.
Well I decided to avoid doing the scout rush this time around and so far i am finding the game a lot of fun. My rankings are getting killed, but that's nothing a few skirmish missions won't fix. Also I am glad this game is selling well. Hopefully it will continue to sell well enough for them to make a new game in the series.

That thing is the best. Give it to Vyse and watch the magic happen.

I actually stuck the Ruhm onto the loli shocktrooper when I started messing around with it, because she has a potential for perfect aim; in her hands the Ruhm is basically a rapid fire sniper rifle.

Thism makes me wonder if SLI AA works. hrmmmOkay, I opted for some MSAA forced through Nvidia Inspector on top of downsampling from 4K. You will probably tell me that is redundant at best

no I think that's an intentional mechanic, I seem to remember it from the original game on PS3. Tanks are supposed to eat up AP so they aren't completely game breaking.

Perfect Aim potential? Which shocktrooper are you talking about?
Okay, had my first crash. Right after recruiting my squad.
Are you playing at 120hz? There was a bug that caused some physics glitches at high frame rates iirc.

To revisit the discussion earlier about broken chieves and going to the command center to 'reclaim' them:
Been trying to get Crimson Heart (save wounded soldier either by medic or ending mission). I knew I actually did it in a skirmish and then subsequently Ch5, then read about the Command Center thing later on (after Ch6 or so) and went to Command Center - nothing happened. Just tried again after Ch7 (not surprising you get injured soldiers there...) and it popped.
Either it's not counting stuff from earlier missions and/or skirmishes, or it only seems to check the last mission you did.

First time hearing of this, really? I had the tank can't go up hills thing too...
I actually found Mission 7 a bit easier then I remember it, but maybe its just because I remembered the tip that you can park your tank at the first base and have your lancers just blow up all the Machine guns. Also had a sniper take out like all the enemy troops the first turn.

Wait, you can unlock guns? I thought you used the beginning guns and you would just get more powerful when you levelled your class. How do I get different types of guns?
You buy them at the barracks.

What kind of hills are we talking about here?

Research gives you better guns. Killing aces will get you more guns too. Later on you earn royal weapons for doing well in missions.
I'm surprised they didn't just render these cut scenes at 1080p initially. There were no storage constraints on Bluray that would prevent that resolution, maybe they wanted parity with the gameplay visuals.
Even if the cut scenes were rendered in 1080p, they would still look objectively worse than the real time gameplay.

If it recurs, enable windowed mode or disable the Steam overlay. Apparently a lot of people are getting hit with this one and Little Stone hasn't been able to put out a patch for it just yet.
Speaking of, I am a little sad that this is all Little Stone has for a webpage and they have no Twitter/etc. presence: http://www.littlestonesoftware.co.uk/
I want to give these guys some personal props, especially since they've played a big role in making this magic happen. C'mon, dudes, embrace the social media future!
My cutscene models have nervous edges, it's really disattracting at times.
