God I can't wait to get mine and fuck around with it @TLHBO

Acknowledging that there's performance issues at all... is a great sign from FROM/Bamco... But of course yes, I'm still going to be cautiously optimistic. I feel like the Steam reviews are what's really getting them to notice.

@Substatic How are you turning off EAC?

Yeah, I laughed too

Praise the LORD. The "mixed" steam reviews with everyone complaining about performance definitely got through to them. I left a scathing review myself Now fix your shit and make the PC version the best version as it should have always been

You lose your runes (souls) Runes are what you use to buy things, and level up in this game.

I love how there's mini dungeons and stuff that almost seems as if they carry themes of certain levels across past FROMSOFT games. One cave I found felt like I was transported into a specific Demon's Souls level... (in before asset reuse joke) But it's actually not anything really with assets.. it's just the theme of the area and the ambiance of it. And I just so happen to love that area in Demon's Souls

Yea, it's so fucking weird. Makes no sense why this shit isn't on everything with a screen. Because they're fucking awesome... and all are completely mod-able. You can essentially make them the perfect FF1-6 versions you desire. SNES sprites? Sure. GBA backgrounds? No problem. Any font you want? Yep. The list goes on. But yea, dumb move on Square's part.

I'll allow it... ...what with the invasion and all. Putin, you asshole.

LMFAO Substatic... stop man. I'll tell you right now it doesn't work. I tried it. There's NOTHING anyone other than FROMSOFT can do to fix this. I find honestly, it's best to just lock fps to 30. It makes the lurches far less distracting and the entire thing more consistent. If not, when running at 60fps when riding the horse, the FPS constantly tank while traversing the overworld. In dungeons it seems mostly fine.. still stutters here and there.. but it's still not what I'd call acceptable overall. It's bad enough that they'll HAVE to acknowledge it, I would thin

Ahahah and you didn't even get torrent (the horse) yet... let me tell you... riding on him in the open world... the fps drops and stutters are unreal... BandaiNamco should be ashamed.

The FPS drops REALLY seem reminiscent of the kind that happens when DRM or anti-cheat is badly implemented. Kinda like Capcom with RE Village. That game had a similar type of issue when fighting one of the daughters... her attack would trigger massive amounts of DRM checks bogging the CPU down, same when you killed enemies it would stutter. They eventually fixed it... so I'm hopeful that's mostly what the issue is and they can fix them. It's like the game slows down, and then speeds back up again... almost like rubberbanding.

I can't really say that haha. But as a veteran it's about what you'd expect. It's not too bad so far.. but I've already died more than a few times lol.

GL. lol.. I'm still going to play it and suffer though, because the sense of exploration and discovery in this game is incredible.

Game just crashed on me

You can tell the game is amazing... but yea @Twinblade just get the PS5 version. I'll post a video soon of easily repeatable massive framedrops and stutters. 😕

LMAO

I will. I'll be brutally honest where reviewers weren't But honestly despite the issues, I'm just excited to just discover everything this game has to offer and explore FROMs world.

20 minutes until I play the hardest version of Elden Ring. The only class in the PC version is the Hermit class permanently equipped with a "Ring of Hitching and Stuttering +10" and if you try to remove it the game crashes. The real Elden Ring begins here

Oh, I think Digital Foundry's network beta test analysis still applies in that case.

Quality is around 35-45fps, and Performance is like 45-55fps. From what I saw of comparisons anyway.

I mean, I'm watching some streamers, and literally most of them are playing the PC version, and they're having a blast despite the issues... but they all admit there's definitely issues here. Hopefully it gets fixed in a patch, but I'd take the PS5 version over the PC any day if I had one. I'd do that, and just enjoy the game. Maybe down the road if the PC version gets fixed... and you still care enough, you could trade in your PS5 copy and then buy the game on sale on PC or something... but until then, fuck it. BandaiNamco and FROMSOFT should really be ashamed pushin

I just don't get why all the streamers I'm seeing are playing the PC version when I know they all have PS5s... lol makes no fucking sense to me.

The patch on PC has actually made things worse according to ACG. Jesus Best game of the year and generation and they fuck up the PC port so badly... I don't even have the energy or inclination to argue with the people who will undoubtedly try to make fun of me over it.. I don't even care. All I can do is hope they fix it.. @Twinblade Just get the PS5 version and don't bother dude.

2h should be more than enough to get through the tutorial. I already know the tutorial section and it's not long at all. You'll have enough time on the open world to see if it's acceptable or not because literally as soon as you enter the open world, there's a enemy on horseback, and if you fight that enemy on your horse the FPS will likely tank and you'll see the issue. Just set a timer on your phone for 1h 30m and see how far you get and what it's like if you want to try it. Or you could just wait for me, as I'll be playing the PC version and I'll definitely let you know strai
