Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
Would be nice if they had a Checkerboard option like Pro, CB 4K/60fps Max settings, a nice compromise.
My performance is good, hitting 60 with no problems. My issue so far is that even at its max the anti-aliasing is not that effective for me, and forcing it with the AMD drivers doesn't do a thing.
OP
OP
Does remapping the confirm button to A also change the jump button to A for everyone here? For me, the jump stays on B for some reason. Is there a manual way to remap jump in the .ini files?
At a glance:
1 seems to add ambient occlusion
2 adds bloom in outdoor locations
3 further improves AO

It does help but it doesn't eliminate it
There isn't any FSAA or TAA or anything going on and I haven't found any way to force that or SSAA, post processing might have some FXAA or something similar not sure
At 4K it's definitely better, and reshade SMAA helps a smidge
Tbh comparing the PS4 and PC versions myself and PC at 4K the difference isn't that huge
That said PC will be my main because the difference is still nice with the resolution bump and it seems to handle between 40 to 60 frames fine on a 1080 ti, probably improve with patches maybe
And reshade MXAO works really well with this, depth buffer is completely accessible and the added AO on top of the AO that's already there looks pretty schweet
Thanks for sharing! I have the same gpu but running with a 6600. Can't wait to try this later.
Another question: has anyone found a way to increase the camera speed when using a controller?
This might do the trick: in Steam go to the top left, click Steam > Settings > In-Game > untick "use big picture overlay when using..."

There is a camera speed setting in the options, indoor/outdoor. I maxed it on both and it's acceptable, still not super fast though.
Yeah, I've maxed those out and it's still a bit too slow for me. Just coming off of MHW where I've got it at a ridiculous speed might not be helping :')
User Warned: “Lazy Dev” Rhetoric. Please review our FAQ.
Is it just me or the anti aliasing settings make absolutely no difference whatsoever? Just cycled between the 6 (!) stupid numbered options and they all look the same.
How the hell is this UE4 and there's no TAA?
Why does pressing ESC instantly minimizes the game?
Why are all graphical settings lazily named?
Where's the fucking 21:9 support?
Why custom resolutions are not showing up in game?
How fucking lazy and incompetent a company can be. Jesus Christ. And people are calling this a "good port"? The fact it runs *reasonably* well isn't enough to save this port from dumpster fire territory. No wonder they didn't show this version, AT ALL, until today's release.

Your points are fair, but that vitriol!
Anyway, I dumped the PS4 Pro version after an hour cos it felt so sluggish and there seemed to be very little if any AA and the PC version looks and runs SO much better. For that reason alone I'm happy enough with it.
Playing at 1080@60 with all settings at max (GTX 980, i7 4790k, 16 Gb RAM), and the performance is "tolerable". There are fps drops in the "transition" areas, like going from a street to the main square in the big city, but nothing bad (it goes from 60 to 50 or so).
On the other hand, there's some popping here and there, some shadows/light sources flicker some times but nothing too bad. Game looks gorgeous, I hope that SE launches some patch to iron the performance.

It runs and looks better than the PS4 version and also works well on a wide range of systems, without any bugs. Definitely not dumpster fire
This port is in no way a "dumpster fire." It's kind of ludicrous to say so. Not having a specific kind of AA, not natively supporting custom resolutions or 21:9, and having vague options are issues, to be sure. I hope they are addressed as well. I'll even add that I wish it had support for higher framerates.
But, as a long-time PC gamer, I've seen some shit, man. This port doesn't even register on my "bad PC port" radar.
Was about to say. More scalable options and better labeling would've been nice, but stability has been good and the performance is about what I'd expect from my system. It's fine from what I've seen so far.
Yeah, I found it in the Steam forums. Weird that this is the first time I've ever encountered it
Playing at 1080/60 with max settings, no noticeable drops.
i7 6700K (not overclocked)
GTX 1060 ROG Strix OC edition
16GB DDR4 3200
I put it on my hybrid SSD because I'm not sure I need to put it on my SSD. There aren't any load times or anything. I hear loading is long on console? Doesn't really exist for me on the PC version, so that's pretty rad.

I'm real annoyed they didn't put in an option to disable the Mini-map and the location name in the upper left corner. Not only are they not really helpful in this game, but it's real bad news for my OLED. I really hope a mod can change this, but I have a feeling it's all tied into the same HUD and disabling them would disable everything including menus.
Anyone know what I might expect to get with the following?
Intel Core i7 @ 2.50GHz
16.0GB RAM
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

The only real downer I've encountered so far is what seems like streaming issue... The frame rate will occasionally drop to something around mid 40s for me for a second and then recover to 60 afterwards. In the central square of the first proper city, for example. As I run up to it, it'll hitch for a moment and then it's back to 60 as usual.
You bought niche aspect ratio monitor you get niche support. Not all developers have time and resources to implement 21:9 and bug test entire game to make sure there are no issues.
Doing driver based half refresh vsync for 30fps is making the game super stuttery. This sucks as I've been instructed that is the ideal way to get proper framepaced 30fps, whereas in-game locks or even RTSS can give improper framepacing.
Unless the static elements are bright, static and flat reds or yellows, I wouldn't stress about it too much. Lots of heavy gaming on my LG B7 so far and have yet to have a single hud element burn in.
So it looks like a 1080ti reaches a stable 60fps at 4k if you lower your shadows a bit? I'm planning on waiting until I get a new GPU so I can play the game downsampled from 4k for the beautiful silky smoothness of it, good to know that a 1080ti or 2080 (presumably) are definitely enough.
Rivatuner (which comes with Afterburner, link in the OP) or Steam's FPS counter (which you can find in the settings).
I had icons from my desktop burned in a while back but they seem to have disappeared over time
That's image retention, not burning in. That you'll definitely see a fair amount with OLED.
The sad part is that with the possible exception of TAA, all of those could probably be fixed in 2 engineering man-weeks in total (at most) dedicated to the PC version.
Just for me to place this statement: do you think the DQ8 battle system is slow? Because I thought it was glacial.
If you're willing to experiment for a bit, try the following NV Inspector profile:
The profile should sustain 60fps at 1440p, with ScreenPercentage=150.000000 set in the GameUserSettings.ini. The scaling is roughly 90-98% for both cards. I've picked up very minimal flicker so maybe further research is needed, but this could be a good start. The frametimes is consistent enough, although not 100% perfect.
Tested on my own rig.
i7-5930K @ 4.5Ghz
32GB 3200 Mhz DDR4
2x 1080Ti @ 2012Mhz
The game is installed in a RAID0 SSD.
A few screenshots below with frametime graph and OSD displayed to illustrate scaling.

The best 30fps cap method pretty much varies for every game, shit sucks.
is the game demanding? i hav eno issues but i have a 1080ti, i was wondering for a friend who has a 970 is its playable with that cause i want to gift it. game looks phenomenal.
I can't select my monitor's native resolution (3440x1440) in fullscreen. It's grayed out.
Any thoughts?

It's more or less the same as gtx 1060, right? It should have no problem running the game at 1080p, 1440p even if they're willing to cap it at 30/45 fps.
I simply use Steam's FPS monitor. Only turned it on a few times when optimizing, it's now turned off after I'm happy with the result.
Looks like it's in-game lock then, as RTSS doesn't seem to be limiting the framerate in the game for me.
The in-game 30fps cap is pretty bad. You may want to tinker your RTSS settings a bit more.
On a GTX1070, I do 4K but not sure about the frame rate (40+ I guess), shadows at 2, the rest at max. I don't see a difference between VSYNC on and off (?!), it seems there's always a vsync no matter what.
Now I wonder how I quit the game normally, it makes no sense to hardquit from the Windows Shell (I'm in big picture mode on the tv).
