I had that problem too. I had to do the "check file integrity" thing through steam and it fixed it. I think one of the patches didn't come through correctly for some people and this was the result.
Not sure if driver related but game locks up when I die and press restart which is annoying.
Yes, AMD designed a GPU in 2008 for API's that came out seven years later. Nice crystal ball they have. If only that crystal ball could have seen a little further into the future to prevent the Vega disaster.
Ockham would have a different idea about it - more lies.
Yet it can feed a 1080Ti or a Titan fast enough. Or, a null driver for that matter.
You keep making things up and posting them as facts, just to be proven wrong.
Yes AMD designs GPUs for the future, hence how nextgen APIs all ended up with execution models that are basically the same. That all benefit AMD GCN. They needed the APIs to catch up. AMD is good at future and Nvidia is good at where the present is.
Did you read what I wrote or are you being purposely obtuse? DX11 is NOT capable of feeding either architecture very well. It's Nvidia's driver that has built in multithreading to get the throughput to be faster than AMD. Again, this is NOT what drivers are supposed to be doing. APIs should be doing this and low behold they are in the nextgen APIs.
Not even Forza Horizon 3, Forza Motorsport 7 and/or Gears of War 4 ?Must be nice to be able to predict the future. See how well that's worked out for them?
Seriously, you just keep digging yourself into a deeper hole. We spent at least one page in this thread discussing DX11 multithreading, so it's not true when you say that DX11 is not capable of feeding either architecture well. In fact, there are several games in which the DX11 path is faster than the DX12 path on both AMD and NVidia hardware, or on one or the other. This is not to cast aspersions on DX12 at all, because while DX12 performance has much higher headroom than DX11, the skill level to implement it properly is much greater and not every developer has it. Plus until we start seeing SM6.x being used, then no game can truly be classified as using DX12.
Well, Richard Huddy was talking about new graphics API back in 2008, new memory and execution model was in works in that time, it's used in consoles and it's essential base of Mantle/Vulkan/DX12/Metal.Must be nice to be able to predict the future. See how well that's worked out for them?
Unfortunately not even those. Still SM5.x and FL11_xNot even Forza Horizon 3, Forza Motorsport 7 and/or Gears of War 4 ?
It's a fun game with great cinematics but it's really short so it's up to your taste if it's worth it for you or not.This game’s on 50% sale on Steam. Should I ... Hehe

Np. I still haven't bought it yet. I'll probably pick it up about this time next year when technical issues are ironed out and when it goes for more than 75% discount. From watching several YouTube videos, the game looks mediocre in both graphics and gameplay-wise.Thank you for the heads up.
I have bought the game just now.
The problem with idTech games is that they are not the best visual example that other developers aspire to, sure they run damn fast, but that's because of the huge sacrifices they make in visual complexity. Wolfenstein 2 for example has low polygon count for almost everything, even main characters. Facial animation is bad, Texture resolution is moderate at best, scene complexity is moderate as well, no convincing water or cloth simulation, shadow resolution is also moderate. Most areas are corridors and closed spaces. So yeah, by 2017 standards, the game doesn't look impressive at all, it's serviceable and sometimes good looking but nothing more.Wolf 2017 looks so REDACTED in all regards (some settings are well done in idtech5 but thats all about it (same as with RAGE)).

Wow, what a coincidence. I recently bought Dell Alienware AW3418DW monitor and I am playing the Bioshock Infinite these days. Heh.I am going to wait to play the game as well for the same reason. At the moment i am playing bioshock infinite and i looked at :"the evil within" and it seems very interesting.

Wish I had waited for this sale. I still feel upset about spending $60 on this game. Its a really quick play once and done kind of game. I did get more time out of it than I first thought though, but for some reason I feel really bad about spending $60 on it. Its really bugging me, seriously. I spend $60 on a game like Battlefield and I get 1000 hours out of that game. Or GTAV and get so many hours and replayability its crazy. But this? Damn. Its a good game and fun to play but I feel a bit like an idiot spending $60 on it. Just a little stupid is how I feel. A bit of a moron who got price ganked, but that's it though.
For $30 though? Yeah that's a legit price for the game. Not $60 though, Jesus H, not $60. Don't pay $60. Don't be like me. Don't do it. Don't be that special kind of stupid where you fall for the cool looking cut scenes and then buy an overpriced game. CRAAAP.

Nah, not seeing it. I own the game, and I can tell you that as far as technical proficiency goes, this game is cutting edge in many ways. Also polygon count is very high as far as I can tell, especially in the areas that matter like the home base Submarine which is amazing in its size and intricacy. Also there is cloth and water simulation, and the shadow resolution is very good when you're using the Mein Leben setting.
The engine's greatest strength though is the particle effects and lighting system, which is fantastic! Lots of dynamic and volumetric light sources.
Personally, I have no problem spending 60+ on a good, single player campaign (and the campaign is around 15 hours which is fairly standard for an FPS) since I don't play multiplayer. But I can see how you'd be irked if you're used to playing multiplayer which offers far more content.
But I have a weakness for single player FPS games. The next big single player FPS on my radar is Metro Exodus. That game will be awesome, and I predict that you will buy it!
