Even at a sold 60vcontrols are off unless locked at 30 read up on the gog forums

Ill be waiting on Digital Foundary's verdict.

Checked the first 6 pages on GOG and there are two threads started by the same person related to the issue your having. Most replies indicated that others are not having the same problem.


Its early days yet and and none of the press sites had access to release copy with the day 1 patch as of yet so id be eager to see how it run when they get to bench with full release code.

Only played a few minutes of it last night. I immediately ran off in a random direction and encountered a ghoul and "level up" ability stone protecting it. The game was all like "This monster is too strong for you! You should run and come back later!" Sure enough the ghoul teleported behind me and one shotted me. :P

I reloaded and tried again. Rolled and dodged around like I was playing Bloodborne again. Defeated it. Very satisfying.

Just checked my GOG account. They removed the discount for owning the previous 2 games because I didn't pre-order. That's what I get for being a responsible consumer.

Had to load an earlier save as i was stuck fighting the royal griffin underpowered and lacking items. My silver sword inky doing 19 damage with each hit while my crossbow does 13 damage and that's not even supposed to be an attack weapon.

Off side questin' I go.

Top tip. create new save files every time Abe save save save.

To be fair, it was advertised as a pre-order bonus. It was always going to be removed

Onto Chapter 3.

Chapter 2 was class.

Hurry up game!

And done. Chapter 3 felt rushed. Very good game overall though.

Onto The Wild Hunt we go.

I know, which is why I mentioned its nice of them to reward me for being a cautious consumer.

Anyway, off to key-resellers I go for when I do decide to buy this. Someone with similar system specs as me is having a hard time getting the game to run @ 60fps.

Tried fighting that Griffin numerous times on death march. Insanely tough so had to admit defeat and dropped it down one level.

I feel like ive cheated

Haha

Got to level 3 created some swallow and grapeshot bomb (not that great against the griffin for a weakness) took out the griffin easy enough. Getting the hang of crafting now. Absolutely brilliant game and i didn't even like skyrim.

Beat the Griffin second time around. Once I knew what I was up against I found it much easier.

Use the Crossbow to take him out of the sky, hit him when he's stunned/lying there with your Silver Sword, dodge and use Igni as he gets closer and dont forget to use the Thunderbolt potion that you craft as part of the quest. It really overpowers you. One tip is to find the Igni stone close by that will OP Igni for 30 mins.

do yoou have an nvidia card as they are talking about ctd on here

Nope, Radeon HD 7850. Just had my second freeze, and had to force close again. Can't seem to pin point it to anything in particular, other than my card is lower than canyourunit's minimum.

I'm going to play Devils Advocate and say not really. While the game looks beautiful, and runs quite smooth even on my rig, there's a lot in it which is annoying me, but only slightly. The movement for example, it's not brilliant. Especially on the horse. Getting stuck on small things is very annoying. And while having a crazy big map is a bonus, it's also very overwhelming. I can't see why this game is getting perfect or near-perfect scores. So far (and i've about 8 hours done), i'd be putting it more in line with a 7 or 8/10. Time will tell. It's a good game, a really good game, just not this great game that everyone is shouting about.

Yes, yes it is. And he seems to be as much of a prick as Twyin!

It's off but the maxium fps slider still only goes to 60. I don't have a powerful pc but I was just wondering how people with good setup would enable fps over 60.
Also the fov is far too low for a 3rd person game but I can't find the setting for that

I am googling for a fov fix atm before I can continue playing and if your montior in 120/144hz that slider will go higher

Savage Tyrant

I bought it an hour ago.... Its sitting there, under my telly, MOCKING me...
"Go on" it says. "Put me on... You know you want to... You know you NEED to... Not long now and you'll lose to Emmerdale and Coronation Street.... "
I haven't even switched it on yet and its trying to get me divorced.

Put the slider all the way to the left to select "Unlimited"

Anyone playing on Xbox One? How's it perform/look?

Save often...specially on the higher difficulties. Ugh can be a pain having to go back repeat stuff after death. Could have done with an Inn or something so you can replenish health on the higher difficulties, I'm exhausting the deer stock around the fields looking for meat to heal.

Xenji

I forget if it could happen in the previous two games, but it is funny to see archers shooting their own men, actually has been a life saver once or twice.

johnny_ultimate

Only played an hour or two, but the game definitely has a very strong sense of place. The villages feel like actual villages, not the sort of diorama occupied by mindless automatons you get in other games.

Running very smoothly too. Getting a steady 55-70 FPS on GTX970, everything ultra with HairWorks turned off (frankly I don't care or even notice the 'enhanced hair' enough to take the performance hit that comes with it). For a game with a supposed downgrade, it sure is pretty
