Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

it looks like the performance will be the same irredeemable pile of trash.

Played PoE on laptop then on desktop with no perf. issues. Haven't tried it on a potato tho.

I 7 - Geforce 1070, game runs like crap in white march.

If it doesn't run well on a 1070, there is compatibility issues rather than perf. issues. 1070 came out after PoE so, complain to nvidia about their drivers :D I'm sure it runs better on older nvidia cards and next time buy an AMD, better price/perf and doesn't have much software problems anymore

I bet the game 2d engine does not use gpu at all, so it is irrilevant

Also, many had same drops on WM, so...

Also again, every other game with better graphics runs perfectly, nvidia is good

you'e correct
unity is a piece of shit when it comes to using GPU and distributing load on the CPU efficiently. The guys who disagreed with you are retards.

I'm pretty sure we were disagreeing with this part:

He might have been talking about Unity 4, which is PoE1's engine. And the devs themselves have said that that "engine", if you can even call that mobile piece of garbage that, completely shits itself drawing many 3D models. And, just as Mazisky said, PoE1's Unity 4 pretty much ignores your GPU at all times. That's the watermark of a mobile piece of trash.

i was talking about PoE engine, not random 2d engines.

Seems like many others are saying PoE use very few GPU, as i was claming.

I also have a 1070 and haven't run into any issues with performance. Will be starting my pre-POE2 playthrough once the DLC hits later this month and keep an eye out for anything I missed previously.

The most noticeable point is just at the start of expansion area (white March under Ogre attack).

Let us know

You can easily see for yourself exactly how much GPU it's using... https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

I haven't looked in awhile, but my recollection is it was putting at least a 50% load on my 1070. It definitely drops frames like a motherfucker when a lot of spell FX are going off, but I'm not personally bothered by it. It's not the kind of game where FPS matters.

This reminds me of some guy complaining in the PoE subreddit that the game wasn't running at 60FPS and that it was therefore unplayable.

 

[Fry]

That's probably why I avoid reddit.

 

[Mazisky]

Game is perfectly enjoyable even with fps drops but it doesn't cancel the fact that poor optimization is always a bad thing that only retards can justify.

 

[Sentinel]

I can stand some FPS drops if your game has some impressive technology. But FPS drops when your game has 3D models straight out of 2004 make me somewhat upset.

 

[Jinn]

Really hoping they manage to fix the FPS issues in Deadfire. While it didn't bother me all that much, it's still a little ridiculous that a game like this should be dropping frames on a 1070.

Why should poor man's graphic cards drop frames, and the likes of 1070 - not? Have you thought about BALANCE?

The first thing I notice is that they are copying the same text just for a pronoun change. Seems inefficient, but I have no idea if it can be done better.

 

[Rivmusique]

Pink for feminine pronouns? Problematic.

 

[Sannom]

The variable token doesn't work for other languages, obviously.

Josh working on a Saturday, eh? Must be getting into that crunch.

Maybe he just likes his job.

That Eder portrait really is bad.

You could try telling that to the Master of Balance.
