Hm, I'm also using the dongle since my PC doesn't have Bluetooth. That's weird.
You tried alt-tabbing in and out? That's fixed G-Sync issues for me in the past.
Your specs are higher than mine though, so not sure what else it could be. I'm on a 970 using the in-game 60fps cap, Vsync off.
I agree.
(Furthermore, the initial language should be set based on the OS language setting, not the locale. These are 2 different things)
Yeah, Durante posted link with generic settings for UE4 games, seems you not losing much =)
Actually, the difference between 2 and 3 is quite severe.
As severe as the performance loss.
Unstable OC? Not having any issues with RTSS/AB on my end.
To those delving into the files, does it look like it would be possible to put the orchestrated music back in? Curious since I prefer it
So the recommended specs for 4k30fps for the game is my exact specs (i7-7700 & GTX 1070) but I'm not hitting 30fps, I'm averaging 24fps instead.

here's a comparison screen
and that's still pretty tame. You can literally see the draw distance of shadows in a cave, and the gradual appearance of shadows as you get closer is super distracting too.
But damn, I really can't hit 60fps with shadows 3. Seems a bit of a conundrum for now. I just wish there was an in-between, you know ?

Any comparisons? I wonder what settings PS4 uses.
upd - already posted, thanks

the 1070 doesn't seem to be quite strong enough to run a stable 60 with everything turned on, setting the resolution scale to 80 seems to do the trick. Turning shadows down to 2 also works, but that setting has a huge affect on lighting quality in general and I feel the loss is not worth it over turning the resolution scale down.

What settings is ps4 pro using roughly would feel ok hitting 60fps with ps4 settings shame this comes out now instead of when I'm due my gpu upgrade :(
Neat comparison, thanks. I think I can stick with Shadows 2.
in the game user settings ini file, scroll to the bottom and change the frame rate limit to your desired number
Thanks for clarifying the DSR Nvidia.
For everyone having issues with the Nvidia things and want to go a bit beyond 1080p to clean up the IQ :
The "screenpercentage" in the .ini works like FFXV. It's actually messed up because in game they let you go DOWN but not UP. The ini does what you tell it to do.
So say 120% or 130%.
Works great. It changes the rendering resolution. (100% = 1080p if that was your original resolution)

I wouldn't. I changed it in real time and it's a VERY big change
Here's an example of just how much of a difference the shadows setting can make: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/119769

There is already a special-k branch for this? Or is there some sorta global version now?
Also with regards to SK butting heads with RTSS, that shouldn't be an issue if you turn off the OSD in RTSS. Afterburner will still force RTSS to be running, but if you disable the OSD, than Special-K's OSD hook doesn't have to fight it. That's my understanding of it anyway.

ive wittled it down to RTSS, rtss crashes game. wonder if i need to update it...game has bad frametimes i think, in the first city and im getting stutter that i dont think is frame drops
This isn't working for me. It shows 200% in the main menu, but when I actually go in game it resets back to 100%. I even tried starting a brand new game in case my save was loading my settings, and same thing.
Max settings at 1440p. Good enough for me. If I turn on 4k things start getting slow.
You all recommend V-sync off?

Mmh it worked for me though.
Maybe you shouldn't open the setting at all.
Yeah, I was wondering if maybe the Vsync isn't triple buffered. But wouldn't it be dropping and holding at 20fps in that case?
I'll try that. Also looks like the ResolutionQuality in the ini might not factor? Cause when I reopen the ini it has reverted ScreenPercentage back to 100, but ResolutionQuality is still 200.
Odd. Yeah, updating is worth a shot then. I'm on 4.5.0. for AB and 7.1.0 for RTSS.
If you are using HDMI (and sometimes others) some games, especially when downsampled, for whatever reason locked to 24hz. Have had the issue with a lot of Unity games on a gsync monitor.
Getting 53-60 FPS with max shadows @ 4K. I'm thinking about reducing rendering down to 90%. It seems to give me a locked 60 no matter what.
i was using rtss to try and cap at 60 fps for smoothness, when i unlocked the framerate in the games ini file the game ran with rtss. it doesnt look smooth in the first city tho. frametime is bad i think regardless
Does the games AA even work? According to PCGamingWiki, whether you set to 1 or 6, there is no difference in performance? Is it FXAA? How is this possible?
Special K is the global version. :)
Kaldaien does game specific mods based on that.
Ah okay, my bad lol. I've only ever used it in FFXV and as FAR in Automata, which have specific branches so I had no idea there was one that you could plug-in anywhere. Interesting.
From what I understand CB is much more expensive to do on systems that doesn't have the HW ID buffer like PS4pro. It is possible to do in software like Rainbow 6, WD2 and Quantum Break, but those games have engines designed around the feature in mind. Wonder if UE4 support CB rendering on PC?
Post processing settings, from what I've gathered, do the following:
1: turns on ambient occlusion
2: adds bloom (outdoors only?)
3: improves ambient occlusion
So if you're not a stickler for AO, 2 could be a good middle ground if you need a little extra performance.

You can see it in real time in the settings. It seems to mostly give a softer image
That worked. You just can't open the setting menu in the game it seems. Also interestingly is the equipment menu runs at a lower resolution regardless of what your resolution and scaling is set at, that's why the Hero looks so aliased. Anyhoo, here's an 8k shot downsampled to 4k. It definitely solves the grass aliasing at this high of a resolution, and runs at a glorious 7fps on a 1070!

Thanks I appreciate it.
PUT THE DQ8 OUTFIT ON THIS INSTANT!
(it's got better stats)
Sounds like FXAA. Shame.
Will have to inject SMAA with ReShade, and hope 4K takes care of the rest.
