I no longer have big hitches in cutscenes but now sometimes characters are flickering with bright colors (in cutscenes). :(
I'm currently playing on a 970 and am getting away with 1080p, everything High except Ultra Character model, bloom, lens flare and cone step mapping, SSR on Insane and DoF and Volumetric Fog on Medium and I'm managing a pretty good 60+ up to the end of the Act 2 Ch 1 (although Gsync is definitely helping to smooth out any slight drops).
You can turn off health indicators and hit markers, just so you know.
Assuming you're on Win10, right click Desktop > Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings > Display adapter properties for Display 1 (assuming you have 1 monitor) > Monitor tab > Screen refresh rate dropdown under Monitor Settings
Yes, it is possible to install or uninstall the ultra textures on the GamePass version.
To uninstall them on the XGP version, you need to do it in the video options menu. The same place as you installed them. The game will restart when to do.
Ah alright, I see now, thanks. Guess I never had them installed in the first place. So, that's definitely not the cause of my problems then.
There is no UWP version of Gears 5 on PC. Both MS Store and Steam versions are not UWP. The Coalition confirmed this a while back.
Still everything is encrypted in gears folder and no real fullscreen option either (winstore version)
It's technically not UWP but it shares a lot of the same traits. No exclusive fullscreen, forced sync when running it in anything than native res, Windows Store download, locked down files.
So what the difference if every flaws of UWP still remains? Seems like more a PR move from Microsoft.
I'm not sure what you two are trying to say here... well yes, if you buy games on MS Store you download them on MS Store. Did you expect anything else? What a weird point to make. Also, what flaws? I mean sure, MS Store isn't as advanced as Steam, but it gets the job done. I haven't had any issues with Gears 5 in relation to MS Store.
No mods support, even such simple tweak as skip intro video is not possible with encrypted files structure that gears 5 has.
I ran the benchmark before and after, and lost about ~4-5 fps on a 1080ti with the latest drivers. Kind of annoying...
The game should 100% tear, but it will only tear at the resolution of your desktop. So you need the game to be your desktop res for it to tear.
Yeah I wanted to run the game in 85% res scale and it introduced a lot of stuttering so I just put it back to 100% and lowered some settings.
RTSS hooks fine but the screenshot feature just captures a black screen for some reason. I tried to use steam overlay as a workaround so I can take screenshots with my controller shortcuts.
What is your GPU? I have a 1080Ti. Just trying to figure out if this is Pascal GPU problem.
I've had the flickering in cutscenes since launch. I just did some testing: Only character models are affected, it doesn't matter if you've got HDR on or off, it only affects cutscenes... And it's caused by the dynamic resolution scaling.
