well you know the answer to that for me :p  Couldn't care less about RTX.

I'm sticking with my GTX 1070 for a while so no for me as well. It's one of the games nVidia has been showing off a lot when they talk up ray tracing, so I wondered.

Enjoying this game on PC, fun gameplay and it looks really good, probably the best example of ray tracing so far.

 

I'm actually surprised this got approved for sale on consoles though, played it at a friends last night on a (non pro) PS4 and it was an awful experience. You could visibly tell it was running at < 20fps for significant amounts of time during most fights, I thought his PS4 was broken/overheating but DF cover this too https://youtu.be/niQfeglwDZ4?t=1151. I think at some point console games are going to have to market as "PS4 Pro / XB1X" only, because the older gen are suffering.

I think the issue might be some sort of bug and they'll probably patch it soon.  It's weird but console players should just sit tight and wait for remedy to fix it.  Personally I plan to play this on my PC as well though I don't have a RTX card so no ray tracing.   I might have opted to play it on my X1X but I don't have it handy atm.

I don't think it'll get like that, but PS4 Pro/Xbox One X recommended I could see.

 

And whatever the next boxes will be called.

tbf both sides should have seen this coming, both consoles could barely hit 1080 on launch and were forced to do mid cycle hardware improvements. At this point they will most likely just ride it out and learn from their mistakes until next gen releases and hopefully they can do a solid 4k without needing optimisations or we'll be back to the same problem. 😛

It'll be interesting to see how remedy respond, either they didn't test the final build on the base consoles at all, or they did, knew the performance was terrible and released anyway. Both are pretty crappy practices for a company so I wouldn't be too surprised if it doesn't get patched any time soon (if at all).

Game is starting to annoy me.  Fun at first, but now I spend more time trying to dodge enemy attacks and one hit almost kills you.   And I have full upgraded health.  Game is starting to feel like work and that is when I start to not enjoy a game.  And no way to even change difficulty settings either.  Not sure how the game scales the difficulty, but seems like one level for all really.  Which kind of sucks because with games where there was a difficulty setting change, I could at least get past these pain parts.    Also, a bug in the game where  completed a mission, but cannot talk to the guy who gave it to close it out.  So that is real annoying.

Yeah you need to remember to dodge or shield for some enemies, and keep your mods updated of course.  And use the right weapons.  For me, anything I can fire and get back behind cover is useful.

 

Also upgrade your weapons and all that.  And yeah, the boss enemies are a pain in the...everything.

 

Personally, I'm kind of surprised the guns rocket launcher mode just seems kind of annoying.  I thought I'd enjoy it more, but eh.

 

Anyway, I took a break from the game and am playing other stuff to chill during a weird week.

Yea, well...I dodge and get behind cover and I still get hit.  Weapons are mostly upgraded and so are my power moves and I still get hit.  So I am taking a break to as I am frustrated.

I really hoped this game can keep me entertained... but it looks like I have to actually wait for Cyberpunk as nothing even come close to the enormous amounts of fun I have had with Witcher 3 and expantion packs. Not in the current age of high quality graphics RPGs.

 

Honestly I am just looking for one game that is simple enough with gripping stories and gameplay but everything I try either requires serious commitment or is just not on the level I want.

 

witcher 3 did require commitment too but I was rewarded so handsomely I did not mind it.

If I was further into the game I might be more help.  I got a really good way into it though (past Containment, if that helps.)

 

It's on my list of things to do immediately, but right now I'm working on Andromeda :)

Finished the game.  Surprisingly, ending is easier that most boss battles. 

 

 

Arish mission is bugged for me.  Completed all the objectives, but will not let me talk to Arish to complete the mission.  Also, been seeing other issues with the Arish mission so look out for that one.

ok I finally gave it a go... and unfortunately I just cant seem to enjoy it in the way I enjoyed Alan Wake. the narrative is just not as fresh and exciting anymore. and the setting too.

 

cyberpunk cant come soon enough as I am replaying old platformers and telltale games becuase nothing new excites me in any way.

 

I am still not certain it is an issue with me, since some older games are still awesome even though they look dated.

 

and it is not just nostalgia since I am discovering old games I love that I never played. just really good games.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Useful to know, thanks!

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
