Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
I haven't heard anything at all, I expect Square Enix put this in the same category as Nier Automata and they've gone radio silent again. But it runs reasonably well without any crashes or bugs, so there's less need for a patch here.
It's a decent port but it's not well optimized at all, and lacks options, it's a really basic port that does work well enough.
Nier was a dumpster fire port and never got a single official fix which is pretty shameful. Agreed that this is pretty much fine as is but there's a bunch of minor shit that a patch could easily fix and make the game significantly better. Things such as the ability to disable the top left location name being there 24/7, disable the minimap, fix the little stuttering issues and add in proper graphics options so we can disable stuff like bloom without gimping AO.

Dragon Quest XI has received several patches since the Japanese version release. Everything has been integrated into the global version. Yeah, there are still minor things to do, but I don't think they'll bother.
Finished this last night at 107 hours played. Missing 2 achievements (All Costumes, and talk to every cow).
What an... absolutely amazing game. Couldn't put it down! Legit the best jrpg I've played in a long time, and easy top 3 Dragon Quest games (5, 8, 11).
If anyone's on the fence, Post Game is well worth doing.

I seem to get crashes on the below rig:
i7 8700
32GB RAM
GTX 1080 Ti
Running at in game max settings (no config file tinkering)
I've done a few of the suggested fixes so will report back, if it happens again

Your save game will have a draconian flag when you save if you've set it correctly. The statue option to remove draconian mode options should also be available. Stronger enemies isn't a crazy difference.
Try enabling the Draconian mod for less XP and fight some lower level enemies. If you get a notification about no or half XP then the mod is working.
I wouldn't ever expect UI toggles. If they didn't add them to any of the console editions of the game then there is zero reason to expect a PC specific patch for it.
I'm getting stuttering even at 1080p using Shadows 2 in Heliodor.
1080Ti, 6700k, SSD, 32GB ram.

I don't think they optimized their streaming tech to compensate for the R2 sprint they added in the western release. I've found that I hardly ever (maybe never?) encounter stutter if I just run at normal speed.
Sucks though.
Yeah, I like how during the times when you have a character following you if you take off sprinting they eventually fade away, then fade back in by you after you slow down cause they were never programmed to run that fast.
What power setting do you have your 1080Ti set to?
I'm pretty sure this game is causing my 1080Ti to overheat for some bizarre reason.
I have almost same rig as yours except a i8700 instead but I get crashes :(
No overheat so far on the GPU side of things, but my CPU does get hot. Talking about specifics, I don't think I'm pushing it too hard. Using Precision I did not add that much to the core clock/memory clock.

they definitely didn't
I get massive hitching when I'm sprinting but no issues whatsoever when I'm walking. It's really killing my enjoyment tbh
Just tried it. Nope, same stutter.
Ah shit! This game has pop-in on PC? Gawd that shit bothers me more than anything.
Well at last those tweaks look good. I just don't understand how professional companies, especially in Japan, cannot tweak these damn settings for Ultra. It makes no fucking sense, and just leads me to believe these devs have no concern for anything.
Out of the box, yes. But there's ini tweaks to improve the graphics. Base game both shadows and grass pop in quite noticeably, but with ini tweaks I got grass rendering out as far as I can tell. Shadows do still pop in at a distance, but still quite far. I dunno if the ini tweaks can go further, but if they can it'd likely not be worth the performance hit.
Just realized, my problem might be Windows related. I only now realized that the issue I'm having is the same I had with other games, the 59fps stutter. Might try going back a couple of updates to see if I can find one that's not garbage.
Okay great. This is exactly why I did not get this on PS4. I cannot stand horrible draw distances in games like this.
It's strange that people are getting stuttering issues with this game. I honestly have zero issues.
980ti oc, i5-8600k @ 4.9, 16gb ddr4 and installed on SSD.
Running the game locked 60fps at 1080p and resolution scale at 130%.
All I did was make sure the Nvidia control panel settings were set to high performance and used the vysnc from there instead of in game.

Playing at 60fps is causing my 1080ti to run too hot leading to crashes. It's probably my pc case so I might need to change it.
Could try to up the fan curve with Afterburner? I read something in the Steam forum about this being a bug in the (older) UE4 code used for DQXI (and the post suggested underclocking your GPU), but I dunno how much credence that has. It's also never a bad idea to check the dust in your GPU's fans!
I might try this but as a long term solution I'll likely need to get a bigger case with better cooling. My current case has a small footprint but it's not really geared for extended use I fear.
Would running RTSS and ReShade cause problems? I've heard of compatibility issues in the past.. i think.
Yeah sometimes it gets a bit wonky. I'm not sure about this game specifically. In case of issues, you could try fiddling with RTSS' settings, but I don't use Reshade often, so I have no clue what the right course would be. Could try delaying RTSS hooking into the game. Maybe disabling the on-screen display would work.
Last time I checked no one seemed to be working on a fix 'properly' because they don't have the game.
Now that the game is cracked maybe there's some hope.
Is it safe to say Gondolia is the worst it gets performance wise? The settings in my Engine.ini seem to work great everywhere but there so far and if that's the single area I'll get drops I might just deal with it and keep my current settings.
Brand new install of Windows (before Creators), plus older drivers. Stutter still exists but it isn't as hard as it was before. Frame time is still terrible.
I can't turn vsync off or the game runs like complete garbage. Frame rate seems solid, frame time too, but something looks and feels terrible.
Feels like a slideshow even though the graphic shows it is supposed to be ok.
EDIT: This is with RTSS on.

Why not just 1440p? 30fps doesn't do the animation work justice in this game.
I'd say 60fps doesn't really do Jade's combat animations justice since they still weirdly seem to run at 30fps anyway.
1440p didn't look much better than 1080p for this game, at least on my TCL 6-Series. The aliasing is still there a bit even at 4K, but the clarity is still drastically better. Idk. On fixed refresh displays I can't deal with even minor dips.
Went with the same, 1440p vs 4K on TV the increase in image quality is just too much for bit of smoothness.
i5 4790k
8gb ram
installed to 500gb samsung 850 evo
6gb 1060gb
game defaulted to high settings and it runs 60fps most of the time, but I got to the castle and it lags at times for no reason :|

Lower resolution scale or cap at 30fps. PS4 is "high" settings, so if you drop anything lower than that you're getting a worse-than-console experience.
I recommend cap at 30fps and enable motion blur in INI. Game is turner based, you adjust to the frame rate after a while.
Was considering buying, decided to check this thread and got put off. 8700k/1080ti, not running at any crazy resolutions, but on tv at 1080p with controller.
You can unlock it from game files. Im running it around 90 fps atm and havent noticed any funny business.
