Dragon's Dogma II - "They’re masterworks, all – you can’t go wrong"

4k @ 60-80fps with High Settings and DLSS3 in the forest, and at the first village with "a lot" of NPCs. Game looks fucking gorgeous in the forest. There's definitely some micro stuttering going on sometimes.

Can you try with DLSS off? It's probably only hurting your FPS in this case (especially in the towns).

Now that I tested it a little bit, I can say that DLSS doesn't make much of a difference at all in my setup. DLSS with the "quality" preset gives you like 5-10% more performance, though its really not worth it, because you won't be able to target 100fps in this game anyway. I get constant 60fps in the cities though, which is awesome. No dips either besides micro stutters while the game is loading in assets or npcs right in front of you. I expected the game to run way worse on 4k, so I am fine with that. Even though the optimization is absolutely fucking ass.

If you get constant 60fps you might try driver-level frame generation to see if you can hit that 100fps barrier.

If you are talking about the DLSS 3 frame generation mod, it seems to crash the game for a lot of people.

AMD has a driver option for frame generation so I thought NVIDIA had something equivalent without needing a mod. That's what I was referring to.

Doesn't seem to be a thing for nvidia users.

The mod actually allows me to get 100fps in the game. But everything becomes pink. lol
Also, crashes on exit.

One portcystal that you still need ferrystones, costing 10k, to use. It does fuck all.

It seems food no longer restore your max hp. Good riddance. The whole endurance thing would have been dumb if you can chug potions all the time and restore full hp

After few hours, game is alright. City feels annoying with frame drops even with beefy PC, so I don't feel like going around finding secrets, at least for now. Jank is still there, if you were worried about missing it. My pawn jumped to her death following me, when I actually climbed down. Clearing caves and killing stuff is still fun like in first title.

We need a cuck tag for everyone who bought this ...

Turns out that post was right, no option to start a new game from the main menu:

I assume you can still use Family Sharing and a second Steam account to create a second saved game file?

Alright so this is weird. I discovered a Reddit post about a Steam app called Lossless Scaling

https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/

It seems to be Frame Generation that works on any hardware?

The people in the Reddit post were posting mixed results but... could be an option?

Absolutely disgraceful

Huh? Is your opinion based only on internet outrage? I played it fine on a i5 haswell with 1060 at release, 50-60 fps.

It ran like shit on AMD GPUs. Just like this game runs like shit on NVidia GPUs.

 

[Tyrr]

Absolutely disgraceful

That's just an idiot tax.
There will be more mods like this one:

DLSS-FG->FSR3 Frame Generation mods appear to be blocked by Capcom's DRM. Will need to see whether or not the REngine framework modders can work around Enigma like they did in MHRise to get it working.

Dragon's Dogma 2 was marketed as a FSR3 title so frame generation should be coming to all eventually. Hopefully Capcom implements FSR 3.1 which separates the frame generation from upscaling so you can mix and match with whatever you want.

I see you are using the 'v' key for a skill. Are you playing with the default control scheme? Did you find it irritating?

GOOD! Capcom doing God's work and making lying theiving PC niggers actually pay some money. This is what you get for all those games you pirated. No different than a pack of niggers in a shoe store.

They are fucking retarded. How could they messed up so bad the launch of one of the most expected games of the year?

The controversy is too much though, is clear almost nobody played the DD1 on PS3. Thanks to all the vocal people loving that flawed game, became the cult classic with good port that all the Nu PC fans enjoy now.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

walking around the world is pretty cozy so far.

 

[Falksi]

I genuinely can't believe that you can only create 1 character, without having to pay for more.

That's fucking nuts.

It's so stupid ,even if they are evil, greedy bastards.

 

[Ezekiel]

Wait, this game uses the RE engine? The one that struggles with closed environments performance-wise? And they thought it was a good idea to use it in an open world?

 

[Yosharian]

Ok apparently there IS an FOV slider, but it is hidden in the camera distance setting

 

[d1r]

Has anyone actually noticed that the "2" in Dragons Dogma 2 is missing in the title screen? It just says "Dragon's Dogma".

Can we expect an absolute kino moment where the 2 will appear eventually?

 

[Cryomancer]

I know that is full of macrotransactions and denuvo.

But does have pronouns in character creation? How is the woke virus in this game? And performance?

Not playing yet but AFAIK you don't need multiple chars since you can freely change class.

Plus they've just announced they'll implement the option to start a new game (for Steam versions only).

It ran like shit on AMD GPUs. Just like this game runs like shit on NVidia GPUs.

Shite as in "50-60 fps on a mid tier card from last 2-3 gens" or shite as in "can't lock 120+ fps with everything maxed on a 4090" ?
There's a pretty big difference between them and most people don't care about the later (unless they have their build as signature on reddit).

I'm gonna play because I'm an old fan, and I'm sure that despite issues it's going to be a great game. But they deserve some flak.
