Are the first three areas not indicative of the overall game performance or something? Because I was above 100 fps a vast majority of the time on an undervolted 3080. The lowest I've seen is 97 fps. 4k, everything maxed except for effects at low.

Are the first three areas not indicative of the overall game performance or something? Because I was above 100 fps a vast majority of the time on an undervolted 3080. The lowest I've seen is 97 fps. 4k, everything maxed except for effects at low.
I don't know what to tell you. Tutorial area I was getting high 90s but first area I was getting the numbers I mentioned previously. I'm running an overclocked 10900k and overclocked EVGA Hybrid 3090. My numbers match the Russian benchmarks to a tee.
It's a shit port so I guess a lot of variance is to be expected.
Upto the first boss, 100+ fps
7700k @ 5GHz, EVGA 3090 FTW3, 32GB RAM, (2) 3440 x 1440 monitors
Everything maxed out
I keep an eye on the FPS counter as much as I can without dyin, but not a scientific measurement by any standards.

By tutorial area do you mean the place where you pick your weapons or the Village of the Cursed Blossoms?
The two areas I tested were where you pick your weapons (which isn't really representative of anything) and the village.
Yeah I'm at a pretty solid ~105 fps average in the village. I just ran around the area again to double check. Honestly I'm impressed at how consistent the framerate is. It's really locked into that 100-110 fps range and rarely goes above or below. I was hitting 120 on the first side mission, but it's a small area. So from my point of view it's a pretty great port minus the ultrawide resolution shenanigans. I can push 4x the pixels and higher settings relative to PS5's 120 fps mode and get a similar average framerate with none of the big 30-40 fps dips.
I wonder what would cause a performance discrepancy like that though. You have a good CPU and I assume good RAM so it wouldn't be that. Driver version? Borderless vs fullscreen? NVCP settings (Mine are all default)? Gsync vs vsync? I'm curious what Dictator will uncover assuming he's doing a PC video.
ugh I wish Japanese devs (all devs for that matter) would stop tying game logic to frame rate, especially in the year of our lord 2021 for fuck's sake
It's the secret sauce to all my unexplainable cool slow motion moments during set pieces in the ps2 games of my childhood.
DLSS was known as a future patch and it also already has KBAM support. Their tweet is about adding icons so it doesn't say "pretty RT + B to burst counter" but instead "shift + e" or w/e you weirdos playing this on kbam bind it to.

Code:
21.02.09
========
+ Nioh 2 needs "Sleepless Window Thread" turned on in SK's framerate limiter to fix its framepacing with "Effects: High"; option enabled by default now.
+ 32-bit version of SK now built with same compiler version as used in 21.02.05+
Patch is out. Anyone noticed improvements when setting Effects to High?

Yeah, I no longer see big fps drops during combat with effects on high. It's still a performance-intensive setting though, at least for Nvidia GPUs. I'm seeing a ~12% reduction in average fps on a 3080 with little to no visual difference. You're still better off leaving it at low if you're going for higher fps imo.
Do you notice any difference in quality with Effects on High?
No, that's what I meant by "little to no visual difference". I'm not comparing screenshots or anything, but I don't notice any difference switching back and forth.
you tried this?

Same thing, now every time i change the graphics with the config.xml the game reset the configuration.
Ah sorry, my reading comprehension is not with me today.
I'm not able to try it out for myself yet, but it would be interesting to see a direct comparison between the different Effects settings. I hope Digital Foundry has something in store for us!
Day 1 reviews still mentioned the bug...the 2 patches released also didn't list that as fixed
Can someone explain what the hell is the correct place to download the Special K mods? Are they game specific or a general release? I have always been very confused by that when there's old versions on Github, Gitlab, Steam community etc. Where's the latest?
Current release is always here: https://sk-data.special-k.info/SpecialK.7z (via https://discourse.differentk.fyi/)
Test releases are linked in the discord via the releases channel: https://discord.com/invite/ER4EDBJPTa
If you want to use the test release (for Nioh 2) you just replace the SpecialK64.dll and/or SpecialK32.dll in your SpecialK folder or put them directly next to the Nioh2.exe (read here: https://wiki.special-k.info/SpecialK/Local and see "Rename the DLL file to match the API used by the game").
I see, that's unfortunate, the only workaround that I know of is to change something in the settings from mouse and keyboard to keyboard only, dunno what to change though since I didn't use this version.
It's not a good way to play the game. It functions in a literal sense but it's not intuitive or fun to play that way.
Not to talk shit about your friend but I have no idea why some people are so against using controllers for games designed around controller on PC. I see people absolutely struggling to force themselves to play certain games on kb/m in the PC community all the time and I'm always left asking why people put themselves through that.
Have Digital Foundry looked at Nioh 2?
There is lots of weird performance stuff happing in this game.
dx11 and 64-bit
DX11.
Edit: FWIW, the Special K plugin didn't really help too much. Frame pacing was better but my overall frame rate was lower with effects set to high. I ended up just leaving it on low and removing SpecialK.
Eh, it's less about elitism and more that he does not really know how to play with a controller, since he has never owned a console.
Damn ok.
I've been getting a weird stutter running around levels that seems to be related to assets loading in.
Very annoying.
Has the lastest patch addressed that at all?
I haven't really experienced that pre or post patch. Special K is worth a shot in that case!
Damn ok, maybe its just me.
The game runs fine but when you hits specific points in the level it will drop a few frames before catching up.
Its bizarre.
Has he played games like Sekiro and Dark Souls? If he has and he knows what he is getting into then I say go for it. He can just use a build that does not rely too much on stance switching mid combo.
Higher tier strats dont come into play until late game anyway, he can try and acclimatize to the controls till then. Cant really say if it would be enjoyable though......never tried it myself.
He has tried both Sekiro and DSIII and did not enjoy them. He finished and liked Code Vein. The more in-depth combat, loot and better co-op are what he was looking forward to in Nioh2.
I get awful stuttering in this game. It's not constant, but crops up in chunks in certain areas, where it just becomes a stuttery mess for a while, almost like you have to 'outrun' it, literally. It's really ruining my enjoyment.
Happening at 120 or 60fps caps. I'm on all AMD.

I have this and it was the same in Nioh 1. Frame drops/loading stutter in certain parts of the maps.
At least its not just me then.
It doesn't ruin the game for me but its pretty bad.
Sometimes it will happen in the middle of a fight and completely fuck you.
Are you guys looking to co op together? If you are then maybe it will be easier to deal with any issues that might come up.
I think someone saying they did not like DS3 or Sekiro makes me thing there is a higher likelyhood of them not gelling with Nioh 2, Code vein seems a bit on the casual side whereas Nioh shares more similarities with the former. But if the game ticks all the boxes for what yall looking for then go for it, or wait for a slight price drop to be safe. Im sure the kbm stuff you can figure out along the way.
Hm - so far it seems very similar to performance I have seen in this engine on the consoles. Small stutters ocasionally when running around the levels. PS5 - PS4Pro - Base PS4 have it. Other than that, it seems like a very average release for performance. Nothing sticks out to me as being really bad or anything. There is enough performance GPU wise here for nearly 4K 120 even.
Ah ok. I didn't realise the problem existed on all platforms.
Thanks.
I think most games (outside of car and flight sim types) can easily be played on KB/M...too many people think you must have a controller to play Dark Souls or Nioh on PC which is not true...the important thing is to remap keys...once you take the time to get used it then it'll become just as good or better then a controller...Dark Souls PC is often criticized for its KB/M controls but I found it to be excellent (after remapping) and I'm pretty good at the game
yes certain games may be designed with controllers in mind but that doesn't mean that they cannot be played just as well with KB/M
Yes, that's the plan. I was mostly just asking because I don't feel like the two hour refund limit is enough to get a good grasp if m/kb are serviceable, but I'll Family Share the game with him.
