Does anyone know if there'll be a day 1 Nividia driver release ?
umm, i not up to re-downloading the demo, sorry. But i'll take some screen shots when i play the full game for you.
Sorry for the late reply.

For sure, we just don't know if it's gonna be before the game releases in 26 hours.
Rightos. Thought so.
Hope it's before, so i can have everything ready to go when i first boot up.
Same, I'm hoping the global unlock at 12am GMT doesn't mess with it, since it's still gonna be the 24th in the US.
Got my key today, ready for friday.
Also, could someone help me with the Dolby Atmos in this game? I remember the demo having the option, but didn't really mess around with it as it mentioned needing a specific setup. If I'm on headphones (Cloud 2s), would this be a better setting than binaural? And if so, would I need the Dolby Atmos app on the windows store, or is it built-in like Overwatch?

Yeah, 7PM EST. I have class after work from 6 to 8PM. Gonna be a tense final hour of class if it does indeed unlock at 7PM .

1) Log out of the Steam mobile app and change (not to be confused with reset) your password via the the desktop client
2) Download and install F-Secure Freedome (no hard limits, but the trial period expires after five days), FlyVPN (20-minute session limit), ProtonVPN (speed-limited), TunnelBear (500MB data limit), VPN Gate (no hard limits) or VyprVPN (no hard limits, but remember to cancel within 72 hours)
3) Connect to a server outside America
4) Restart Steam (if you're logged in)
5) Unlock the game
6, optional) Switch to Offline Mode to preserve the "Play" button as it will revert back to "Pre-load" once you're no longer connected to the VPN (even if you disconnect mid-game, you won't be booted out)
Edit: No longer necessary.

It'll be downloaded as part of the unpacking process. Capcom is releasing the DLC as we speak.

Need to decide between 4K/HDR on TV with controller or 1440p mouse/keyboard. Definitely prefer playing with a mouse and keyboard but also want the whole experience. Need to pick up that PG27UQ already.
I'm making that push to get as much of my classwork done as possible before this game comes out. I want no distractions.
Edit - whoops wrong thread but my point still stands lol

Got mine from Voidu too, no email or anything but it was there on the orders page.
What's the best VPN to use, if all I want to do is play in the US for the next few hours and not have a lot of junk installed on my PC?
So did anyone play yet, is it really like the demo? That ran so well, I hope they didn't change anything, wrote my settings down and everything too...
1 hour 9 minutes for me, will post my thoughts once I've played it for awhile.
Do I need to change passwords if I don't have the Steam mobile app at all ?
I did everything here except change my password. It's not working for me.

F-Secure or TunnelBear.
Probably not.
You need to change your password if you were recently logged into the mobile app or another instance of the desktop client. Those sessions linger for a while and prevent Steam from detecting the IP change; changing your password terminates them.
Variable frame rate seems to cause cloth physics stuttering. Just noticed it on Leon's default starting jacket / top. Not sure if it happens anywhere else but capping it ingame fixes it.
Not sure what is going on, but with reasonable settings (also have the resolution set to 2160p @ 80%), I can get the game to lurch all the way down to 8fps by simply mashing "A" near a door at the start. Also, during one of the early in engine cutscenes, the frame rate jumps between 38 - 60 and the frame times start spiking all over the place, while GPU utilization is only 75%. Wonder if my 9600K is showing its "bargain" quality right now, because this is pretty bad. The game basically stays at 60fps except in these weird instances, and I don't really understand what exactly would be causing them, because they aren't particularly demanding compared to any other area or scene.
That's with DX11. DX12...LOL, foreget it. Nvidia also doesn't have any specific drivers for it yet.

anyway i can avoid these kind of effect? I can see water shining on the right, even though it's in darkness
This is what I did last night, can't confirm if the version they sent was the international one yet though... or the CERO D verison lol. Middle of the work day atm.
No change at all for me, I got some dips during cutscenes to 57 FPS, otherwise completely locked 60 FPS so far. Phew.
I really recommend to set it to rec 709, even if you don't calibrate anything, it makes a huge difference for the better imo.
Yeah, that is weird, I doubt it's your cpu to be honest, I have a Ryzen 3 and it runs buttery smooth... (at 1080p)
I don't have a solution, though it shouldn't do that I guess, but maybe 2160p is a little bit too much for this game?
Try lowering some settings maybe.
PS: check CPU usage with Afterburner or something

I don't have the full game yet, but from the demo I'm a bit confused as to what I'm supposed to set the in-game audio to if I'm using either Windows Sonic Headphones for Windows or Dolby Atmos for Headphones. Is the in-game spatial sound separate from those other system level options?
Should I just put it to stereo in-game or something else in order for either Dolby or Windows Spatial sound to be fed the right type of audio?

I'm not running it at 2610p. The output resolution is that, but the actual rendering resolution is closer to 1700p. Even setting it to output and render at 1440p is causing the same issue, and my GPU utilization isn't even above 75% most of the time. CPU is showing 42% max. I'm using a GTX 1080 Ti. I turned the shadows down from the second rank of "High" to the first rank of "High", and that seems to have stopped the really bad spikes for the most part (no 8fps shit), although I can't keep it from dropping below 60fps at times still, despite the fact that nothing is even hitting 80% utilization. Tried shadow cache on/off and also lowered volumetric lighting to medium.
Man am I happy I clicked on this thread or else I would have been sitting here until midnight. I have PIA VPN and was just able to connect to the UK didn't have to log out of anything or change my password it just worked.
Does anybody know if these hex edits keep working on the full game?

I see, well, set shadows to low and volumetric lighting also to low and see if it helps, I really think the game is pretty demanding, still weird of course since you don't hit 100% utilization anywhere.
Still, I would try that, I know when I play something at 1440p, shadows and anti aliasing are the first things to turn down without having a huge impact on image quality.
Did you try the demo, did that run better for you if so?
honestly the game's binaural/3D audio implementation is so good i would just disable any other processing/simulated surround and just enable the games binaural sound option for headphones
So, after I updated my audio drivers for Windows 1809 setup is working perfectly. I turned off Windows Spatial sound before Audio driver update I had to have this on which I did not want since it's lower quality and adds more processing.
What I would recommend:
Leave Audio Options to default for Headphones (If you're using headphones), with Binaural Audio on (Headphones). As long as everything is playing back perfectly you're good to go.
If you're having issues using Windows 1809 like me look for audio driver update on your MB manufacturers website. My one had audio drivers for windows 1809.
Honestly, the second shot looks like the default settings, first shot looks like rec 709.thats one shitty ass filter the game has.

without reshade
It's a huge difference though obviously!
DX12 won't do anything, but switching to Windows 10 might help.
Also got a 1060 (6GB) and no issues here.
OK, thanks. I wasn't having driver issues, but I did buy the Dolby Atmos unlock and want to use whatever simulated 3D works best and wanted to avoid double-processing the audio.

They'll probably need to be updated as the executables are different.
I upgraded to 10 which made the HDR function work properly since it looks amazing now, so that's awesome. Alas, the stuttering remains. However, this game has almost 90-100% usage on all my i5-6500 cores with only 50-40% on the GPU so I'm betting that's whats pulling me down. Gonna upgrade to a Ryzen 5 CPU and compatible motherboard which is a pain, but if there's any game worth doing it for it would be this one.
That was my experience with the demo
Might just play through REmake 1 and hope Cacpcom fixes that up quick
I'm having this issue. It seems to happen anytime you walk over a loading barrier. With RTSS overlay on my CPU jumps from like 60-75ish too 100% when the stuttering is happening.
