I'm with you hahaha! I was ...looking for an easy mode last night LOL
So strange that difficulty options are missing on some versions of the game.
The game runs great on a 1660 at Ultra settings at 1080p.... Except for the odd slowdown when certain things explode.
I haven't noticed any performance issues whatsoever on Series S.

The ultrawide/FoV trainer works with all versions.
The Ascent ultrawide & superwide fix, FOV changer
The tool adjusts the field of view of the game to address the decrease affecting 21:9 and wider resolutions, vertically matching each scene to that of 16:9. It also removes the black bars from the menu screens and the cutscenes (prominent at 32:9 and wider). Lastly, it allows to manually modify t...

So I guess picking my character when my friend(host) was starting a new game wiped my save for said character. So If you are going to play with a friend and you have already started, make sure they have a save already. Luckily I had only done the initial opening with the save, so just less than an hour of progress loss. But yeah it could've been really be bad, so be aware.
Played a bit last night with a friend on PC. Turning the camera shake off helped stop the frame stutter I was getting during explosions and the like. Still some weird bugs and jankiness going on. So far everything felt really samey and it hasn't felt like character progression really does much to differentiate your role or what you can do.
I do wish I could zoom in a little bit, the camera is a bit too zoomed out at least on PC. like just 10-15 FOV pts closer would be good.
On PC if you go to "...\Steam\steamapps\common\The Ascent\TheAscent\Content\Movies" and move "LoadingScreen.mp4" + "LoadingScreen_1088.mp4" to another folder or rename them you get faster boot. Instead of regular splashes it plays "LoadingMovie2Min_1088.mp4". Removing that video file doesn't make starting game any faster.
Also I wanted to listen to OST, but it isn't part of games download despite it was promoted as bonus :( There is only Artbook.

It's coming in the upcoming patch! Patching process is different between windows store and Steam.
Played around an hour last night, got through the first area until the hub world and I'm pretty underwhelmed right now after looking forward to this for the last few weeks. Combat has just been kiting enemies around so far, which is not very fun. There's also just a lack of overall polish that kind of turns me off so far, but I'll play a bit further in case things get more interesting.
Hi Snefer, congratulations on the game, I'm really enjoying it, especially the absolutely stunning world you guys have created here. I was wondering - are you planning on doing anything else with this world in the future? As much as I enjoy the shooty shooty, my imagination is running wild with what could be done with an adventure game or a CRPG in this setting.
Not to harass you, but do you know if multiplayer on gamepass is being addressed? Specifically should be an option to disable in game voice chat since most people use discord, and it seems some people can't connect to multiplayer games at all.
Bladerunner for sure, but I also get heavy Midgar vibes. Maybe Midgar is also based on Bladerunner though and thats why :p
Anyone on PC have been able to get the Papa Ferral fight (basically the first boss) to not hitch like crazy every time he fires of his rockets?
I have no clue why my framerate is tanking as I seem to have plenty of overhead on GPU/CPU.

Same, give me my over powered story difficulty :D
I hope whenever the patch lands, you can change difficulty mid-game and not have to start anew.
The art in this game is truly stunning. What I was hoping Cyberpunk 2077 would actually look like.
Someone here mentioned to drop Effects to High or lower. Yet to test that myself.
At least on PC you can change difficulty setting at any point.
yeah explosions in particular cause this game to hitch. I've got a pretty high end system (3080, 5800X) and shouldn't be doing this. Thinking there is a bug with the explosions in particular because you can make it happen with the red barrels too consistently.
Most people use discord when in game chat is an option? News to me! I'd much rather use a games internal chat when available….
I have the same specs. The 3080 is not even close to being maxed out while targeting 60fps, even during the impact/explosions, but it's still constantly dropping frames. Also noticed stuttering/frame drops in the hub area. I think I will hold off for now until some of this gets ironed out. A shame because I have buddy coming over tomorrow and wanted to play this co-op.
Thought Cyberpunk has absolutely stunning art, and at its best is obviously more graphically impressive than this - hardly surprising given the disparity in budget though.
This game does have very impressive density and apparent scale. Cyberpunk is closer to blade runner 2077 to me, whereas this is pretty much original blade runner x midgar x fairly standard cyberpunk
Weird thing happened. I downloaded the Game Pass version and it had DLSS but it wouldnt' work and I had tons of crashes. I had to reformat my machine and downloaded it again and DLSS was missing. I then bought the steam version and it's back?
Also, the game stutters like crazy on my 3080

Yeah, that is also something we already fixed, and is coming in upcoming patches! Using push to talk now instead. And we are working on the multiplayer connectivity with our partners.
Just to doublecheck, did you use the lockon fire-augmentation perhaps?

All I can say is that we love to create worlds, and it would be a shame if this was a one-off thing for the IP/world :) Especially since people seem to like it as much as we had fun creating it!
I am really enjoying this. The game looks and sounds great. I had to switch to playing on my XSS as it is connected to a monitor 30 cm from my head - that is the only way I could read the tiny UI text. On my XSX on my LG CX, I simply could not read all the text (other than the subtitles). I really hope this gets addressed soon.
How do you aim the grenade? I have not had any success hitting enemies with it yet so I must be missing something obvious.

I've had difficulty options since the game launched, and then I started reading various posts about how some wished there were difficulty options. Just thought it was odd that's not something that was a default with the game as it shipped across all platforms. Unless that was just part of some day one patch for Steam, and difficulties were added later in development or something.
this is probably PC dependent, but I don't know of anyone that uses the in game voice chats. At least in my group its the first thing we turn off. Especially in a game like this which doesnt even have matchmaking so you have to coordinate out of game to party up anyway...
perfect, thanks
I had it preloaded and there was. It wouldn't work, but it was there
I'd have to agree. Also played for an hour and nothing is calling me to turn it back on. Remarkable achievement for a 12 person team, though.
