Anyone tried this on a Surface Pro 4, how's it hold up? The ability to take this game anywhere would be...hnnngg!

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
1. Add the injector to the game, guide here
2. Set up the game to use borderless window, run it and press Ctrl-Shift-Backspace or Select+Start while ingame to popup Special K menu, check G-Sync Status field:
3. Navigate to Direct3D 11 Settings, tick the SwapChain Management arrow to see a bunch of new options. Tick 'Use Flip Mode Presentation', a green message saying 'Game Restart Required' should show up:
4. Close the game and run it again, it should say that G-Sync is Supported (+Active if you have a G-Sync capable monitor connected and Enabled G-Sync in NVIDIA CP)
This works for most of DX11 titles, might introduce some slight graphical glitches in some (Trails of Cold Steel had 1 second slowdown while transitioning between sections with this option enabled). Still worth it for the G-Sync smoothness.
I'm trying to play with my DS4 without using DS4windows so I can see the DS4 prompts but it seems like the game is recognizing two controllers. For example if I press up, the cursor goes up 2 times :/
I think you may have to disable one of the controller options via Big Picture mode. I have this problem with Witcher 3, I usually uncheck the 360 pad option and that normally fixes it. Sometimes it could be the PS4 option that you need to uncheck.
I'll let you know what my settings are when I go home because the DS4 is working properly for me without using DS4windows.
Specs:
Ryzen 1600 @ 3.4 GHz
1060 6GB
16 GB RAM
Running at 1080p/60fps in Rabanastre for me. Using a 144Hz monitor but it limited to 60 automatically, which is nice. Any graphically-intensive areas where I can potentially see framedrops?
Only issue I have is that the audio seems slightly (like, a quarter of a second) desynced in FMV's and in-engine cutscenes. Not a dealbreaker, but mildly annoying.
Try disabling your Steam controller from Big Picture settings, I had that issue with the Witcher 3.
lol, ninja'd

Thanks friends! Will try this asap
Well, to me budget is not just about getting the cheapest thing possible (I would just call that "cheap", not "budget") , it's about getting the best balance of price/performance value out of every dollar you're putting into the hardware.
Sometimes the really cheap cards are actually a bad overall value, you have to analyze what you're getting per dollar to get the best value. ~$300 is the best range to get the most bang for buck IMO.
I didn't need to do it when I set the game to borderless windowed and triple buffering.
4K running at 30fps here as well. Will try without AO later. Is there any way to turn off the post-process AA?
The borderless windowed mode doesn't seem to work right for me.
I still get the windows task bar.
Yeah, their SSAO is reportedly a huge drain, so it's recommended to only have it set at half-resolution at most.
I don't think you can disable post-process AA, but it should be a net benefit at 4K anyway (you can probably disable MSAA without much change in image quality, though). The impact is probably only a couple percentage points, so basically negligible (you wouldn't get any frames by disabling it).
Final Fantasy X/X-2 PC had quite a few as well:
The FF PC ports are getting much better than before. They're actually putting some serious effort in and it shows.
I hadn't known about the X collection options. I gotta get those on Steam.Final Fantasy X/X-2 PC had quite a few as well:

X collection has good options and will run on a potato, but is sadly limited to 30fps
The performance profile for this game is certainly weird.
But you might find a combination of settings (for sure: disable SSAO and lower/disable MSAA) that lets it run at a decent frame rate. Let us know how it goes.
i5 3570K + GTX 970 here, i'm running the game with the following settings and getting a locked 60fps
1440p
MSAA 4x
FXAA for post processing
AO set to half resolution
Everything else maxed out
There are still a few things you can do to make it run well. Turning MSAA off is highly recommended, as it's a big FPS drain (and there's really competent mandatory postprocessing AA anyway). Really, anything more than 2x MSAA is absolutely not worth the performance hit it brings, especially at >1440p. Half-res ambient occlusion is also apparently much better-performing for a very similar look.
Yeah max on 1080p is no problem not even a small dip in fps anywhere.
It's funny: I just downloaded this one expecting it to be awful, but it runs really well. FFIV, on the other hand, has battles capped at 15 FPS (?!?!?!?!?).Final Fantasy X/X-2 PC had quite a few as well:

A bit coincidentally, I've been playing through the PC port of FF4 recently and it's just weird how little they improved upon the base Nintendo DS version. In addition to the low-FPS battles, there's still no texture filtering [!], which is super weird for a port that came out in 2014. It would have made a world of difference for both this and FF3 (here's FF3's tutorial boss without and with filtered textures, from the PSP version). They really have come a long way with FF ports in just a few years!
Yeah, those Matrix developed titles have not been given TLC needed.
Still better than the god awful FFV/FFVI botchjobs. :(
I actually just tried, disable both MSAA and AO and you're good to go.
Game was running good for me so far. Everything all the way up except AA stuff is in the middle. I've only been in Rabanastre and gone outside to kill the tomato guy. But I was running 2x speed outside for a little bit and then all the sudden it was lagging like crazy until I had to stop and turn the 2x run off.

Good port
I did have to edit the .ini to turn off vsync though

I got a 6gig 1060 and yeah. You get dips to the 40's / 50's at 4k.
Rock solid at 1440p though
Those are the FFX/X-2 settings.
FF12 textures were processed by hand (the source texture is already filtered). It doesn't have a post-process sharpen filter, at least not one that you can disable.
How can you set a 1440p resolution? I only have 1080p or 4K.

Haven't moved past the opening video yet, as it immediately drops to 8-13 fps and audio and video is out of synch. I made sure it's actually using the NVIDIA and not the internal graphics card, turned msaa, vsynch and af all the way down/off in the settings, tried borderless, windowed and fullscreen, tried unplugging everything that is connected to my laptop - no changes. Oh well. Hope it will be patched soon.

This won't fully remove blurry stuff but I think disabling DOF helps. Stuff in the distance looks a lot sharper. DOF is not necessarily a bad thing, I just think they've overdone it here.
edit: Corrected!
Anyone having any issues with the game making them feel slightly... nauseous? It's really weird, it's a feeling a get whenever the FoV is off in a game but I'm not sure if this is the case here. I've been playing fullscreen 1080p 60fp and I've tried adjusting some of the options with no luck. I have to sit far away to ease to feeling I get. I literally had to just stop because I felt like I was getting sick. I can flip over to Path of Exile and play for hours on end but something with FFXII is really affecting me.

The FOV at 16:9 is really narrow so it could be that. Hopefully they'll add an FOV slider in a patch; the engine clearly supports it as it expands the FOV on ultrawide screens.
Yeah it sounds like this is the culprit. I was just reading a thread on Steam about this as well. I might finally hook up my Steam Link and see if I can play on my TV from a further distance. Thanks.
Are you playing borderless windowed or fullscreen? For some reason when I was in borderless it would randomly drop to 24 fps on my 144hz monitor, but no issues since switching to fullscreen.
This is a good excuse for me to stick with my PS4 version. I had the same problem with it, but it affects me less at 30fps.
Mouse and keyboard feel okay? Controller isn't an option for me, so good m/kb control is essential.
Works great, only issue I had is that you can't adjust the sensitivity of the mouse for the camera control (you can't change it on pad either) and I found it a bit low, cranking up the DPI on my mouse fixes that though.
