Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Onholyservicebound]

Lol Sensuki , you have access to their internal build? I don't think sea meant what you think he meant when he said the last couple of months. Since there haven't been any new patches and I've already played the latest.
If he did then shame on him, but yeah pretty sure he meant since the last patch..

 

[Sensuki]

I haven't played it since the first 2 versions. Hopefully there's some performance increases upon release. Bit of an FPSwhore.

You can't turn off bloom?

There's no specific option for it in the menu, although it might be tied to one of the presets, I tried a few of the higher ones and it didn't change.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

That FPS range isn't even my problem, I have a decent rig, not as good as what you listed but I should be able to play this game on max with reasonable FPS. Or so I thought, near the end game, and at Damonta especially my frame rate was awful, can't recall specific numbers but it was in the 20 or lower range, put my settings to minimum for that whole area and still didn't get higher than 30.

Yeah that's what I was referencing in my comment, which sea assures me has been improved. I'll take his word for it, remains to be seen if it'll run as smooth as D:OS though.
Although their optimizing has caused intense butthurt in the past, at least when it revolves around removing too many shrubs or lowering the bloom.

Based on Sensuki's rig and results, the game sounds CPU bound. That's usually a sign of poor engine (rather than graphics / texture) optimization.

I believe that is the case. It was very noticeable in Damonta when I was getting the same FPS on low and ultra.

 

[Sensuki]

I would try overclocking my CPU but my current board (P55-UD3) sucks balls at OC. Later this year I might move to a different socket though (1150 or something).

 

[Metro]

Shouldn't have to overclock to play a turn-based cRPG. This is madness!

 

[buzz]

Yeah, I don't know how the hell turning these games into giant resource hogs became the standard. I backed the project hoping that I can play them on my shitty laptop at work but here I stand myself perplexed at the reality that I can barely run them on my computer that play Crysis on fucking high.
Did these people miss on the fact that they're selling old-school cRPGs to people who probably don't bother much with modern PC gaming and thus, with updating their rigs to the highest standards? I'm not saying your game should work on a Commondore 64, but don't make me build a thousand dollar rocket to get gameplay perfected in the 90s.

Half a year ago I got an i5-4670k and Sensuki is having problems with an i7 and 16 gig of ram? That's just poor optimization. But I'll hope that internally they're a few builds ahead. DOS runs great for me at max, I expect nothing less from WL2.

 

[Grotesque]

having 35-40 fps is "having problems"?

 

[Ramireza]

Of course not, but a Game that looks like it is 10 years old should run much better.

I had 10 - 15 fps with my 5 year old PC. This machine runs TW2 in 30+ fps btw.

W2 was shit, is shit and will stay shit.

Shit. Shit never changes...

Missed this - the WL2 beta will receive one last update before final release: http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7759

I've recently received word that we plan for another update before final release, though I am not sure exactly when it's happening. Probably won't have much new content (since the last update was already pretty close to content-complete for Arizona), but it will contain all the bug fixes and UI tweaks we've done since the last update.

 

[Sensuki]

I should post a CPU Utilization chart when running WL2 while I'm at it as well. BRB.

Even CPU Utilization ... so yeah, just poor coding/code optimization.

 

[Roguey]

It's out in month, what a strange decision to update the beta again.

Of course Larian was updating their damn thing on a weekly basis up until release.

Daily, actually, if you include hotfixes. There was even one the day before it was released, I think. It seems like they developed a build process that allowed them to compile a game "direct-to-Steam".

 

[Roguey]

Since I got a reminder about shipping info today: If inXile really wants to stick it to Larian they should have Deep Silver ship the boxes like a week (or at least a few days) in advance so I can get it around release day.

Fuck. Is it really this bad ? I've avoided all the betas and haven't started OS yet.

 

[shihonage]

Does Unity have another project of this scale which has much better performance?

I wonder about abstraction bloat.

Dunno... I was going to say PoE, but they're using that 2D background technique of theirs which is supposedly very easy for computers to handle.
I don't think I've seen a Unity game as bloated with 3D assets as WL2.

We intend to ship in a way that coincides as best as we can with the release date. Obviously there is a great amount of variance in shipping depending on where you are located, of course. That is the plan, though, not a guarantee.

I don't know about Wasteland 2, but I had to stop playing D:OS because of the giant loading times. To be fair, it does look the most visually impressive out of the bunch and it has all those interactive items going for it. But if I can't play PoE or ToN which should technically be Infinity Engine games with bigger resolutions, I might kill someone.

Last Amazon order I made took 48 days to arrive. I hope you guys respect your HUEHUE fans.

I read that as hours at first @_@

I wonder about abstraction bloat.

I've played four Unity games so far: Expeditions: Conquistador, Shadowrun Returns, Verdun and Wasteland 2. E:C and SRR ran good, with the occasional hiccup (usually 120fps+). Verdun ran okay, but it was like a very early alpha version. WL2 has the most horrible performance out of any game I have played since NWN2.

And yeah D:OS load times are pretty long. Reminds me of loading Civ 4.

 

[Volrath]

D:OS load times last about 10 seconds max for me...
