Wonder if it's due to the fires and what not.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
I started getting a weird camera transition bug the other day - During the transition to the (classic) battle camera, I get a still frame of the MC standing at where they were when I loaded into the current area.
Has anybody else seen this? I've got Special K & the orchestral mods active.

This is a Special K bug in the game, I believe. Kaldaien seems to have moved on so it probably won't ever be fixed.
Ah damn, so it is. I wonder why I wasn't getting it until recently.
I have it on every battle transition now. I'll try a clean Special K install and see if it goes away.
Still no update on the orquestarte mod working with the new patch?
Why do I feel this patch was created only to fuck with the mod? It wouldn't be above Sugiyama. I'm sure he was pissed as fuck at this mod.

That most certainly wasn't the case, the patch was on PS4 too and fixed instances of crashing. On PC it also added expanded settings, such as more framerate options and graphical presets along with better keyboard controls.

If you miss the orchestral mod, you can download the previous build of the game via Steam's console:
- Input steam://open/console into your browser
- Input download_depot 742120 742121 6096163807173758332 and wait for the console to report "Depot download complete"
- Empty the game installation folder and replace the data with that in SteamApps\content\app_812140\depot_742121

So there fix for the mod after the last patch? I haven't touched the game since Odyssey and Horizon 4 came out.

The mod doesn't work with the current version of the game yet. Apparently, the devs have to redo the whole thing.
Because Unreal Engine 4 has an HDR rendering pipeline that is then converted to SDR. Basically the guy bypasses that step with his mod. It's far from perfect as the HDR output is pretty much raw and wasn't fine tuned. The modder said he was developing techniques to improve it, but no idea when we'll get anything more. He's no longer working on DQXI specifically, but instead furthering his HDR so it can be used on a wide range of games, including XI.
I'd rather not have bumped this but it seems I've encountered a rather sad and annoying bug that has no fix. I've played this game for 62 hours and I'm at the end of Act 2 and haven't had a single issue (outside of the first patch briefly wrecking the music mod) and now I had the game crash on me for the first time ever on thursday night just after teleporting to a town and it hasn't loaded up since. Just instantly crashes on boot. The only suggestion I've heard online is that something to do with my save files has become corrupted but I tried literally everything mentioned with regards to dealing with that , verifying the data integrity, re-installing the game, emptying the saves folder, removing the folder entirely (making sure to turn off cloud saves temporarilly so the allegadly corrupted saves don't simply redownload). Nothing has worked. I'm pretty much ready to throw in the towel which is a shame because I was really enjoying this game and I'm basically at the very end (I literally tried to fight the act 2 main boss and died against him once so I was trying to grind a bit). Hopefully I can get it working again, but if not , I'm not about to play through all 60 hours again. Kind of sucks.
So I got a notification that the game was updated, and now it crashes everytime it starts up without loading the opening or anything. Anyone else? Any ideas?
Did you have the orchestral mod installed? This happened to me yesterday. Couldn't load the game. So I deleted all the files that came with that mod and then ran the tool to verify the game files and now it works.
Yeah found a thread on the Steam forums, going through the verification/redownload process now, but I guess it's the old injector causing it?
I did a clean install and installed the V2 of the music mod and everything worked fine again.
I did the same. The 30gigs hurt, but I wanted to be sure.
Yeah I posted some help in the main DQXI thread because I was having those crashing issues. The injector will prevent DQXI from launching , you have to follow the directions listed on the steam community for the orchestral mod , it involves deleting 2 folders and then verifying the game data through your steam library so it can redownload the proper contents of those folders. Then download version 2 of the mod and install it exactly as directed and everything will work.
Okay, so the mod is fixed, but I have a completely new problem. Since following some of the advice in this thread, I was able to boost my performance quite a bit. I could play at 1080p60fps with just a little stutter here and there, mostly the big cities. Only thing I really had to watch out for is running right at enemies first thing after a loaded save game seems to cause a soft lock. Nothing major.
However I'm at a point where the game tries to load a cutscene at Gallopolis and crashes every time. Not at the same spot, but I think my pc has trouble loading the music, all the people, the voice acting, the city textures and everything.
I have a GTX 1060 6GB with an i5 3.30 ghz and 16 GB of ram.
Anything I can try aside from Resolution (Only as a last resort, I use a SHIELD for a streaming and it has a hard time switching resolutions). Is the Special K mod worth a look now that it doesn't interfere with the music mod or is that strictly for high powered enthusiasts?
Sorry if I sound dumb, I'm still kinda new to the whole pc gaming thing. This is the first game I've REALLY had trouble with.
EDIT: Okay, looked around the Steam forums and found a solution
Changed my global 3D settings for V Sync to be fast while turning it off in game settings.
Disabled Superfetch
Added the following to engine.ini
Have everything turned up to max except Shadows at 2 (fps at Unlimited). Game runs pretty damn well now (still have to try some battles). I have to deal with long 30-60s loading times (which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a black screen) and big cities are definitely below 60fps (and I haven't even reached Gondolia yet, which I hear is the big graphics killer), but at least I can get through cutscenes smoothly now.

music mod works with the latest version of the game, yes.
They found a way so even after the .exe changes the music mod will continue to work.

So the game doesnt work anymore for me.
I started the game yesterday. It gave me an error "cannot reach server or something".
Today I redownloaded it, backed up my saves and deleted the saves.
It crashes upon start.
Anyone else has this? I hadn't played this game since RDR2 came out and I wanted to go back and finish it, but it just stopped working.

Nope. Strangely I just got a GeForce update that reset all my settings to the bare minimum possible. GFE said even then my specs weren't up to running at optimum settings. Weird.
I am getting a weird bug. The second after starting battles, my character is teleported to another location (standing in a tunnel), then the battle starts like normal. I am back to the field map as usual when the battle has ended. 100% reproducible every time I attack an enemy. I am running the game with special K and the v2 of the orchestral patch. Anyone who has had similar issues?
Believe that is a glitch that's present in the Special K mod. Basically has these weird transitions. You gotta stop using Special K to stop it I believe.
What's the status of the orchestral soundtrack patch? Is it a constant cat and mouse game between people Modding the game and it getting updates that break the mod?
I've waited over 10 years for this game and the midi ost ruins it for me.

Yep, the recent version of the mod was fixed to be "future proofed". Just drop and go. I understand the feeling though, orchestra soundtrack really adds a lot of punch to scenes.
Some animations, like spears, runs in 30fps. Doesn't harm the game, just some animations won't look as smooth.
Yes, that's normal.
Those are the powers of the Luminary, which were stolen from the main character.

Is there any way to tweak shadows (most taxing effect for my pc) or other settings to something BETWEEN ingame 2 and 3 slider for smoother 1080p/60fps experience? On https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dragon_Quest_XI page you can only improve further maximum settings which i cannot afford 😪
Because Shadows settings at 2 looks pretty bad imho http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/119769
And forgot, which are comparable settings PS4 versions uses?

Any tips or tweaks that might help textures load faster? I get stuff like this only for the texture to pop up seconds later if at all.
Do you have the game installed on an SSD?Any tips or tweaks that might help textures load faster? I get stuff like this only for the texture to pop up seconds later if at all.
Definitely shouldn't take long at all even on a HDD. I have it installed on a HDD and see no texture pop ups at all.
What's your RAM / video card RAM situation?
