    Totally forgot about it and got excited when it popped up on steam today. What a disappointment it was reading just through the last page here. I guess I'll wait for the Christmas sale on this and see if they bothered fixing any issues. Although, I expected to play CP2077 at that point. All in all just bummer.

    Well, I might just uninstall/delete the pre-load then and redownload the game once released as it will be quicker. I am getting an external Samsung 860 QVO SSD from Amazon so I will install the game on that.

    No buy until they fix the damn problems with the game, especially the frame drops.

    I think if I were to play this title, I'd probably do so with a 30 FPS lock, but then I could just get it on the console. Seeing the foliage in the game locked to 30 FPS seems jarring when its in direct contrast with the 60-ish fps movements.

    Also from the DF video regarding resolution : "When I booted the game on my 4K screen in full-screen mode, something didn't look right. It turned out that Horizon was rendering at 4K, downscaling to 1080p, then upscaling to 4K again."

    I can't quite wrap my head around why they'd implement that.

    Hopefully a patch can fix al this, the game looks janky with those 30 fps animation thing, doesnt feel right, reminds me of bioshock 1.

    Been so long since I've played Bioshock, there is no way I'd be able to recall that. But I do remember it in Assassins Creed Syndicate, where your character had 60 fps, but their clothing / cape had 30 fps. Thankfully that could be fixed with an .ini edit, but it was jarring till you did.

    That nvidia has really weak gpus in low range. GTX 980/1060/1650S are destroyed by being up to ~30,35,40% slower in this game than RX480/RX580/RX590. Lol. Pathetic for the majority of gamers who has those tier gpus and most sales.

    DF reported RX580 is 30-40% faster than 1060. Something is seriously wrong with this port.

    This is one of the games I am afraid to buy until receives fixes and positive feedback from gamers. But it is a unique game one of those I cursed I don't own a ps4 pro but only xbox one x. :D Damn it. I'll wait for a sale, now it is unplayable unless you own enthusiast gpu level or not use ultra settings.

    But I never considered to play ever a PC game on less than ultra settings, the only game forced me to play below ultra is RDR2.

    So sad that Death Stranding is butter smooth with equivalent graphics engine.

    I think, from watching the video, it might be related to the Dynamic Resolution Scaling because DF mentioned at one point that the game was running at 55 fps at 4K so they used the DSR slider in-game to try to get a locked 60 fps. They achieved it but then found that DSR had set the game at 1080p hence why they recommended that you do not use it. As they said, DSR in this game is super agressive or more likely buggy like the fullscreen setting.

    I watched ACG's video review earlier on this week at 2160p60 but remember thinking how distinctly un-4K like the game looked. The UI in particular looked bad and far less crisp than it looks on the PS4 Pro at 4K. I suspect that he may have experienced the same bug that DF had but not released it!!!

    He mentions it in the review very early on, though he only says 4k bug not specifically what it does.

    The 4k bug is that it doesnt show actual 4k. 4k is downscaled to 1080p , then upscaled to 4k again. you can get past this bug , Its in the digital foundry video.

    Steam pre-load is pure dog crap.
    Why cant they think of another way so we can play quick. There is no progress report anywhere right ?? how long will this take ?? hours ?? then there is also the 38gb patch right ??
