Yea, first time. I'm enjoying it a lot actually. I have hundreds of hours in games like Euro Truck and American Truck Simulator, I enjoy "traveling", deciding routes and stuff like that so I figured I could enjoy this one. If I could point out something "bad" is that I wanted to play the game and for the first couple of hours the cutscenes made it difficult. :P I don't mind a long cutscene from time to time, but I barely had any time to play the game at that point.

Thanks that was it. This game is giving me a hard time, have to turn on windows hdr and now destkop resolution as well. Hope they fix that.

The rate at which you get cutscenes flung at you lowers dramatically once you get to Lake Knot. The game is very front-loaded when it comes to cutscenes but it all opens up.
Yeah I have an RTX card. The 30 fps on ps4 wasn't great, despite the excellent resolution.
I wonder if a patch is coming to fix the small stutters you mentioned.
performance isn't so great on my 2070 super. the game runs at locked 60 some of the time, but I'm noticing big drops when I do certain things like picking up items or falling a short distance. turning the camera sometimes causes drops too.
the cutscenes mostly run at 60, but they often drop to 55, sometimes as low as 40 for a second
I'm running the game at 1440p
edit: also, if I rotate the camera constantly, I notice vertical black lines at the edge of the screen in the direction I'm rotating in. I've never seen anything like this before
also, DLSS doesn't seem to give me any performance gains at all? what's going on here?

May I ask how you configured it in-game? The only thing I see changing when adjusting the slider is the clouds and I have no idea if I should see the shapes of them or leave it as the grey veil lol. Maybe I missed some help text yesterday, it was late already.
Washed out colours. I have to activate it in Windows so that messes up my screen, also in the game. Its actually doing the opposite of what it should be doing.
Some games just dont work decent with HDR for me on PC, Destiny 2 i can never get right either. Im also playing Doom Eternal and RE3 and that works great, its annoying.
But the game looks great regardless of HDR and im having fun so i'll manage.
Yeah , where you see the biggest différence will be in the Sky area, i put it at 80 on my TV. For me , i wanted to see the shape of the cloud and before it became yellow
You have to enable it in the game too. First on Windows then in the game .
The DLSS performance gains won't be noticed if you're running the game at 1440p with a 60 fps cap.
For my RTX 2070 it bumped up 1440p performance from 90ish fps to 120fps.
The stuttery drops interestingly disappeared for me when I restarted my computer and started a new game.
my machine is an i5 3570k with a gtx 970.
i'm very close to getting to see what happens.

Death Standing: the game that made fetch quests fun.
Seriously, with Kojima's attention to detail and creativity this is more of an involved, engrossing hiking simulator.
And I love every minute of it.

Yeah I did that, it was a little bit more vibrant but nothing like it should work, and I still have faded colours. What's your TV? mine is a CX.
the performance issues have cleared up, but i keep getting serious graphical bugs like this in cutscenes
by the way, my screenshots always look washed out when i have HDR on. the game's a lot more vibrant on my screen. is there a fix for that?

Oh, this just triggered some primal fear in me... thanks.
maybe i should submit the screenshot here?

Hi everyone! We want to see where you are on your journey and we want to see your first photos.
haha, sorry. it freaked me out too. there were NPCs looking like that in the same cutscene
I put over 100 hours in the PS4 version, and I'm having a blast going through this again. The higher framerate and graphical updates make it feel so fresh.
My rig is a 7700K + 2080ti (both not OC'd) and I have it hooked up to my LG B6 OLED (so no GSync). I have Vsync on in NVCP and off in-game. I had a handful of stutters in that opening scene with Sam on the motorcycle but they went away after that. I have the game maxed out with DLSS on Quality and it has been locked to 60 fps so far and I'm 3 hours in. I got to Chapter 3 on PS4 but never went any further so I'm glad I stopped cause this looks and feels so much better at 60 fps.
You really need to calibrate your monitor if you need to brighten it that much, but man that is a nasty glitch.
Jesus Christ put a warning, that's some nightmare fuel right there.

decided to restart the game and watch the cutscene again. the same bug happened with reedus' face, along with some additional spookiness
it all resolved once I got back to gameplay though. anyone else been getting stuff like this?
edit: perhaps i spoke too soon lol
might just wait for a patch before i keep playing, this stuff is really taking me out of the game

man you guys are getting some wild glitches.
fwiw, not a single visual glitch of any kind on my end. Had some stutters early on at start, but thought that might be an issue with my PC more than anything else as sometimes is the case for me. Hard reboot the system (pulled the power cable and drained the power out of the system) and stutters are have been virtually gone for the few hours of play since.
You all might want to try a hard reboot. Alternately, a fresh install of your drivers via DDU is never a bad idea. Otherwise idk.
3900x + 2080ti + 32GB ram @ 3800Mhz (custom timings) fwiw.

havent encounter such glitch at all. Try updating nvidia geforce driver?
Yea people should definitely be sure they are on the latest driver. And DDU fresh install said driver if issues like this persist. It's not a normal bug.
Verify your game files too.
Yeah the graphics are disappointing to me. With the increase in res and framerate it just adds a lot of clarity such that you notice that this isn't on the level of a RDR2, or even Witcher 3.
Maybe better LODs could help. Tbf I remember the more volcanic looking areas being a lot more striking than the mountainous countryside you start off in

Just letting the game run for a couple minutes is enough to get rid of stutters.
Game is doing something in the background after first start up. Once that's done it's easy sailing.
huh.
edit: if possible, I definitely recommend installing games on a drive OTHER THAN your C/Windows install drive. Usually better for performance, not having to compete with OS needs.
Yeah, I've had this happen twice. Once at a Share Locker, and another at a Delivery Terminal. It's the only real issue I've encountered with this game, but its pretty annoying TBH.
Does regular windows stuff typically incur a ton of background I/O? Is this an issue more for HDD mechanical drives?
This happened during my stream and my friends and I just laughed hard. It's crazy how it caused my GPU to hit 100% (RTX 2080 Super) and my whole PC was stuttering.
Played just a bit for the first time yesterday, had some noticeable stutters at the beginning, but they went away once I turned on DLSS, running on a 2070 Super at 1080p, runs at about 90fps, only did the prologue so will update once the game actually starts.
Thankfully, apart from a couple of times during quick sequences in the opening cutscenes, my game isn't stuttering. I just can't help but feel that certain things don't look as good as it did on my Pro. The grass and some plants look wonky and the draw distance on them sucks. Also, so many lines in the menus have jaggies and it's bothering me. I managed to calibrate the HDR and finally get it working on Windows 10 tho so at least some good came out of all of this.
I just wish this game had more graphical settings, it's sorely lacking in that dept.

If you like high-quality screenshots, we worked with 505 Games and Kojima Productions to get a group of virtual photographers around the world early access to the game. In something like 5 days, they made over 200 screenshots, which we've shared on https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/death-stranding-pc-virtual-photography/ in max quality (fullscreen on bottom right of each gallery). There are also a couple of awesome videos.
If you take a look at the shots, I recommend following the artists on their respective social channels as they'll be making and post more screenshots for Death Stranding and every other game they take interest in.
Also, I know folks are working on camera mods and hacks, opening the door to a greater variety and styles of screenshots.

Does anybody know what Very Hard changes compared to regular Hard?

I'm sorry about the technical problems youre facing, but your game is clearly haunted
Yeah, it's awesome! Especially if you have hardware that's in the low/mid-tier. Smooth as butter and it's extremely responsive. 1080p is as high as it goes, running with DLSS enabled in quality mode. Image is a little soft, but that's to be expected.
good question. curious about this myself.
they added it for the pc version. i'd imagine your packages degrade more quickly and you have a harder time maintaining your balance etc.
