I'm enjoying this on XB1.
Only thing I need to mention is that the dialogue seems pretty quiet? I have turned subtitles on.

I'm having the same issue on the PS4. It's a pet peeve of mine that a lot of games mix the voice audio so low but this is ridiculous. I spent a good 40 minuets playing with the setting on my TV yesterday trying to make it better but didn't have much luck.

It's a real shame as the game is really good otherwise.

Steam just says i7. I've an i5-2500k overclocked to 4.2Ghz and 16GB of RAM (requirements say 4GB), so I can't see mine struggling with it.
I'm running it on an i7 clocked at 4.3GHz with 18GB and a 680GTX. It runs perfectly at 2560x1440.

It runs at 60fps @ @1920x1080 on low graphics settings. On medium it does tend to struggle every so often. (I can't tell much difference between low and medium settings mind you). I definitely need Vsync enabled otherwise it tears very badly.

I tried it in 5760x1080 and it was having none of it.

The graphics are very impressive, but it aint no Bioshock Infinite.

I've started playing through this yesterday and its bloody good fun. I've got it set at 1600x900 with medium settings though as the GT740M in my laptop doesn't seem to want to do much more.

Lags like hell at 1920x1080 on my 50 inch television. Have to play it at 1280x720 to get good FPS there.

I don't feel ripped off at the 23 I paid. If I'd paid 50 on a next gen console I'd be annoyed.

When is the next 'proper' game from Bethesda?

I have done it in one 10 hour session but I have thoroughly enjoyed it and finding all the collectables gives it a little re-playability.

As the guy said before 30 on PC is OK for this but 50 on next gen?? I'd feel ripped off.

Crazy stuttering on mine, on Uktra so set to High, with low shadows and V-Sync off etc.

Updated to latest Beta Driver, still no joy.

On high it was playable at about 10-15FPS.

Running i5 @3.4ghz, 12GB DDR3 Ram and ATI 7990 3gb gddr5 Card.


Not the happiest bunny as its ridiculous its that bad on my machine that runs Crysis 3 on Ultra without getting into too much bother.

The same st happened when they introduced this engine with RAGE and that was 3 years ago....poor show.

Should have bought it for my XB1....poor console ports to PC need to die in a fire.

I have seen just the opposite reports too, all very confusing.

Its defiantely driver related, and hopefully they will patch it. The annoying thing is, as its PC it will just become landfill as I cant trade it in or sell it due to steam, I would have been better off just buying it for my XB1 at twice the price! Loathed to do that now as I would be out 20 but I am not buying a new Gcard when it runs everything else on ultra happy days.

Although if I give scan computers 370 I can get an I7 and mobo to work with it and MAYBE play the game...or I could just buy the XB1 version and trade in old ps3 games to offset some of the cost.

I too read the opposite, i.e. AMD was fine, NVidia was not. So who knows ?

My GPU is an AMD HD 6870, which is okay, but, according to these benchmarks ( http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.ht... ), a HD 7990 is twice as good. Mine is fine for low settings, medium it does struggle a bit, and high is unplayable.

So I've used this as an excuse to order a new GPU over the weekend, an Nvidia GFX 770, which gave the best performance/price and also meant I did not have to upgrade my PSU as the higher AMD cards require more power compared to Nvidia. Another performance killer is my HDD. I have a 120GB SDD but that's of course for the OS and so I can't fit games like Wolfenstein on it (as it's 44GB). So I also ordered a 240GD SDD so I can use that to keep my games on instead.

This is the trouble when new, power hungry games are released; it makes me go and upgrade some bits of my PC !

But its not a power hungry game as far as I can tell, so many various PC rigs are running it fine with 60fps.

Some have the same GPU as I do and its like nothing is wrong, its very odd.

I have installed the new drivers and have a few ideas to try in the control panel, but with what I have it should run fine, bar a few glitches.

It seems to be a crapshoot as to who can get it to work. Good old developers not giving a fk for the gamers who made them multi billion $ companies in the first place, go for the console cash and fk over PC hardware, apart from the fact they used to be able to do it years ago and make games run on a myriad of PC setups, and with Consoles now even more like pc's, it should be simpler to make games run on PC's.

Ah well.

It does seems like Rage again. I recall that was terrible when it first came out, with tearing and no options to enable vsync and it had endless pop-ins that made it equally unplayable.

I also had similar problems with Alice:Madness Returns. To start with I was getting single figure frame rates on an AMD card. It turned out it uses PhysX, which is Nvidia, and if you don't have an NVidia card then those functions are farmed out to your CPU to do. The answer was to disable the PhysX option in the game (hidden away, not where you would expect, like the graphics options !) and away it went after that.

I do wonder if my i5 750 CPU may cause some issues but I wasn't expecting Ultra settings, but even on high with lots turned off it was a slideshow. It will get sorted, or I get it on XB1....depends what next months spends are.

Weird. I'm running a very similar rig i5/7990 and I'm running ultra setting with no problem whatsoever. Mind you it wouldn't even start until I installed the 14.4 drivers.

Tried the first real shooting level after the asylum on Friday night after several beers. Not a successful attempt. Much better the next day.

I'm on ultra settings with no issues.
