No problem, I should've stated it in the original post so that's my bad

The Outer Worlds PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
i7700 cpu 1080 gpu. 1440p monitor. BUT resolution is 1120p or some shit cant change in options literially greyed out. Anyways everything is ultra and FPS feel 60ish plus and G-sync smooth so overall I am happy. 1120 thing is wierd but game looks clean and fps is not a problem.
Kinda surprised what a modern day performance puller this is considering that visually it looks good but not like it's doing anything beyond stuff from 3-4 years ago.
My GTX980 SLI setup (which I'm sure SLI doesn't work, so essentially just one 980) is doing ok at 1440p and high/very high mix but the framerate is very erratic. I'll be getting a nice smooth framerate (using gsync) walking around and then 2 guys will attack me and the framerate will turn into a slide show for a few seconds.

PS... played on my Xbox one X tonight. FPS feels(If i had to guess)like 40-60 no G-sync so kinda bad. Plus some pop-in of textures and even objects that I got none of on PC. Like cycle your weapons quick and they are low-res for 2 secs till till the high -res textures take effect. Still very playable on X1X but some issues for sure.
Why the F no cross-save/progression like Gears 5....Destiny2?? I pick up and play those seemlessly from X1X to PC ,why not this witch is first party?
These have been great for me, thank you!
Yeah this bit me in the arse. I must have spent a good 5 hours on Xbox while waiting for the PC version to go live and then had to start again. My own fault for not doing the research obviously but it's still a shame.
I wonder if they could patch cross save support in. Even if they did I guess it wouldn't work with current saves
Hey thanks for you .ini setting. Runs a lot smoother!
Hey, it doesn't work on my end. Says that the item doesn't exist.
Code:
New-ItemProperty : Cannot find path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers' because
it does not exist.
I'm playing on a 13" MBP with a Razer Core v2 eGPU housing a Radeon VII and I'm finding no trouble keeping the game pegged at 60fps on ultra at 1440p, but boy turn that up to 2160p and it's a relative slideshow. Bummer I can't play native 4K on my TV.
one thing that's weird is that I'm getting a ridiculous amount of tearing no matter what settings I choose. Had to toggle vSync

Has anyone had any issues with the game freezing during dialogue?
I've had zero performance issues up until this point, the only thing I've changed is removing CA through the .ini file.
It's at a very specific point in the game too, when you first talk to Reed Tobson. Dialogue just stops and the NPC just sits there staring at me. If I try to reload a save, the game hard crashes on a loading screen and takes forever to close through task manager.
It's done it three times to me now...

That's a first-world problem if I've ever seen one. The difference between the two presets are rather subtle, I wouldn't worry about it.
Any info on how to change font size and menu scaling etc?
Don't have the game yet but want to get it on my pc but I use my PC on my tv so very afraid can't read the text

I didn't think that the game was heavy on the CPU. Max settings runs perfect for me though at 1440p with a 3700x and 1080 Ti.
Remember guys that since it's an UE4 game you can do downsampling via ini.
Go to Engine.ini and add this:
[ConsoleVariables]
r.ScreenPercentage=100
100 is the default value (native resolution). Crank it up to 200 for that sweet downsampling.

This is for Spyro, but since Outer Worlds is also an Unreal Engine 4 game it should work:
Open GameUserSettings.ini and search this line:
FrameRateLimit=XXX.000000
Where XXX put your desired framerate.
Thanks but it didn't work, it reverts back to unlimited FPS if I put 90.00000 over there. There's also another weird entry like "FPSLimit=HundredTwenty" in there as well.
With all the tweaks i've seen here + downsampling, the game looks really good:
That sucks. Then I suggest you to use RTSS to manually cap the game to 90 FPS.

I'm running Outer Worlds on 6600K (4.4 Ghz) 1070 (overclocked) rig with 16GB of 3200 Mhz ram.
1080p resolution with 60 fps cap on very high settings seems to have a lot of frame skipping (is that what it is called?). Doesn't seem to improve with high settings.
I dropped shadows to low and it helped a bit, but still it isn't smooth. Not sure what the fps is since there isn't fps option and I don't have Rivatuner installed

For those of you who dislike CA as much as I do, go to your config file location (PCGW will show you where to go) and punch this in to the Engine.ini file:
Upgrading? From that? You're set to play the game comfortably at very high framerates with a rig like that, especially if you're only running at 1080p. What's your RAM situation? Only running single-channel? Low RAM speeds?
Try running in exclusive fullscreen. I noticed many stutters happening in borderless windowed mode, most of which were resolved (outside of apparent loading stutters) in exclusive fullscreen.
Awesome, that fixed it and I could up the shadows back to very high too. Thank you!
There's a tweak on the PC Gaming Wiki. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Outer_Worlds#cite_ref-10
I'm playing with an i7 8700k and a RTX 2080 Ti on 1440p res, locked the game at 60 FPS in the game menu to have the smoother experience possible, runs pretty well with the shadow on very high instead of Ultra.
I only had 2 crashes for no reason and without any error message, during my session yesterday.

The game runs like shit: CPU and GPU utilization random spike, GPU utilization below 80%, low fps and bad frame pacing.
There's no way a 1070 can't handle such basic UE4 title at 1440p high setting.

At you running the game at 1440p because your monitor is that res or the the game won't do 4k/60 on your PC? I have the same cpu/gpu so I'm curious, won't be able to play until Sunday.
Thank you very much I hope that makes text and the UI readable on a 65* :D
As a side note, r.MaxAnisotropy=16 doesn't work for me (Engine.ini > [SystemSettings]. The only way to properly have 16x is forcing it from the GPU's driver setting.
i can play at 4k ultra 60ish fps with 2080ti , but i reduced the internal resolution to 80% , I always like to give some headroom for my gpu
My monitor runs at 1440p, I'm not interested in 4k, QHD is the best compromise between higher res, good graphics and still a decent framerate.
I've been going back and forth between Low and Ultra presets and there's almost no difference whatsoever besides draw distance. Bizarre.
Game uses vertical FoV values instead of horizontal. It's why it feels off.
This actually let to more hitching and stuttering for me, on top of reducing my framerate by anywhere between 15-30% on average depending on the view area.
It's nice but it's too demanding. Would be good to have a setting that's more of a middle ground.
