I have played games with lower framerate on my shitty old PCs/laptops, where I would dream of PS4 Cyberpunk performance. I beat Crysis 1 at 15 FPS.


EDIT: I also did missions in GTA 4 with 10 fps lol. Being drunk at 10 fps was something ludicrous.

Funfact: turned out 99% of all my ingame crashes happened because the Radeon crapware was still set to limit the framerate to 60 fps. Didn't occur to me because... no way this shitshow would ever exceed 30 fps on my toaster, okay?

Yeah, apparently the inventory screen does when you start disassembling items. I guess all those "component received" popins get very cranky if you limit their fps freedom. :hahano:

Here, have a younger and less makeup wearing Evelyn from the same guy who modeled her current in-game incarnation.

shed be nicer as if she was a redhead
or any other haircolor
Apparently my game got bugged then since on my playthrough Evelyns hair turned red when we find her dead body.

They had the same problem with Witcher 3 - setting the limiter from the game options was causing CTDs. Turning it off and then limiting fps from the driver's control panel was stable.

Searching for my kidnapped sister
I dont disagree but where's the asses in that picture? From the style of this creation, I dont think artist is the type that like big butt. Long leg is about the best (s)he can manage.
She's nice but too flat~ Should have upped to C cup at least~

Grow up. Boys like boobs, men like asses.

So this Lizzy Wizzy is definitely connected to the whole mind control subplot and she is being manipulated just did her quest where she strangles her boyfriend (who was noticing how she is changing) and then changes her behaviour mid conversation.

I don't think they will release any big dlcs for the game now.

They will spend a year to patch the game up to a passable state performance wise and jump right into multi-player so they can grab more cash.

I love rewatching vids like this. Yep, maybe glitched versions should be modded to be even more glitchy. I mean eh, why the hell not? Yeesh....

This video really proves that thr CDPR guy who gave the apology is full of BS. Releasing a product in that state is not a 'calculated risk', it's plain fraud.

The amount of weird stuff happening onscreen cannot possibly be fixed in a patch or two. The entire game code is a ticking time bomb. If the game cannot retrieve an asset or a script fast enough from the mass storage, the entire system go bonkers. The PC saving grace is having a fast SSD but I'm sure that I'll be seeing the same if I were running the game on a PC with a traditional hard disk.

If you do that in 2021, you deserve the bad experience. There are many faults with this game, but the devs expecting people to not use ancient hardware in this day and age is perfectly reasonable. There is a reason why SSD is in the recommended system requirements.

I really don't get people still using HDDs for gaming in CURRENT_YEAR.

SSDs became affordable a decade back, and even with older slower SSDs, the difference was night and day.

My point is that the code is not fault proof. I do get the occasional T-pose NPC or LOD error and I'm not running it on a slow PC. The entire code doesn't seem to account for occasional delays in retrieving data (that could happens on PC too because there's always a lot of shit running in background, especially with Windows).

One thing is to have some stuttering or dip in the framerate, another thing is to witness the entire system go bonkers because you don't do proper thread syncing nor have a semaphore system in place when different threads talks to one another.

I don't have a modern machine and my SSD is also rather old-gen. Yet I've experienced very few bugs. Once my char was stuck in a ripperdoc armchair and I had to reload. That's it, really. A few graphical glitches here and there, but nothing serious. Probably biggest one was when my char overlapped with Panam's model once in her car during a cave assault (after reloading!). Don't think I've ever seen the infamous T-pose.
Also never had a crash.

I'd personally rate the game on my system as very stable and rather polished, technics-wise, given the size and scope.

Trying to optimize this game so the streaming in of details and textures (and the world, really) can overcome the hurdle of being limited to data throughput from 5400rpm hard drives of 7 years ago might be the ultimate hacking challenge in of itself

Maybe they should just forfeit and move the last gen console versions to online service exclusive like PS Now or Cloud Gaming (Xbox)

Mind control in a world where your character can fry enemies' brains in a second and people can transfer consciousness from one body to another is such a trivial and unexciting thing. Why do you get a boner every time you find smth about it in the game?

I like conspiracy stuff in games and this is pretty fun one since you have to connect dots yourself.

Maybe they should ask Bethesda to use Gamebryo ;) For all its faults and limitations, pop-ups and stuttering seems the worse that usually happens. And before anybody points out to the many bugs and glitches in Bethesda games, most of them are due to script errors and they get routinely solved by community patches, so it's more a matter of shoddy scripting, not the engine itself.

I checked my screenshots, and dead Evelyn in my game had jet-black hair. :M
She had a yellowish-gray haircolor for me, which I thought was fitting. Since she has hair that can change it's color like an LED bulb, it made sense that her hair looked liked a switched off LED after she... died.

Sad. :salute:

Problems of synchronicity. Where would we be without them. :)

Are we seriously discussing how sincere a CEO of a publicly traded company (recently experienced a sharp drop in stock price) has been in a "message to players"? :)
