The DSOGaming dude has posted a video showing how it runs on the PC version, he is playing with a high-end rig, but it still seems like a good PC port tbh. https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/...dlss-3-quality-max-settings-full-ray-tracing/ Does anyone know if Valve / Steam gives a damn about using the New Zealand (VPN) trick to unlock and play it early?
Well if this game is as fun as Forspoken then the harry porter game will be fine for me,if the game is like the castillo protocall,not so fun but mediocre at best but looks good I will still play the game . Not sure if I got my CD key yet,have to go check the actual release time,thought it was Feb 7 2023.
I certainly don't understand the hype around this game, it is just a copy-paste of ideas from other games, mainly mimicking The Witcher 3 to appeal to it's growd. No new ideas, empty world, acting only occasionally good, somewhat jarring dialogue, dull combat, graphics decent at best. I know the defenders are going to be passive aggressive after this post, but I just wanted to say that I'm surprised that this game in particular is met with so high expectations even if everything they have shown looks just spiritless. I guess if you are into Harry Potter it can be okayish, but my advice is to not buy into the hype if you like innovative games.
Gamestar claims the game is good, but even though they precompile shaders, PC Performance is said to be a stuttery mess (at least in their review copy). Two patches, one before (regular performance) and at launch (RT-Performance) will supposedly try to remedy this (although the first one seems to have already been delayed). Meanwhile, PC Games Hardware implies that the game will stutter heavily unless you have at least 24GB of system memory and at least 16GB of VRAM or more and a fast SSD, but it should be fine otherwise. Since Gamestar used a PC with less VRAM and RAM, it makes sense as well. Looks like the game is pretty unoptimized on PC and thus requires beefy hardware, but I guess that's sadly the norm for WB Games at launch anyway.
I'm more inclined to trust PCGH.de. If they says it runs well, then it runs well. As always though, I think some PC gamers with underpowered rigs are going to turn on RT and then wonder why their framerate has plummeted and then blame the game. Due to the nature of discrete memory pools on the PC platform, the PC needs much greater amounts of memory to play these titles properly than the unified memory system in the consoles. Having RT just exacerbates the issue. For a long time 16GB was the golden standard that allowed PC gamers to run any game and have Chrome running in the background......but not anymore.
I tried to resist but in the end I caved in and watched gameplay footage of the first hour of the game on PS5 up to the game title appearing on-screen. The game looks excellent visually but this first hour was heavy with cutscenes and storytelling, tutorials and little in the way of actual gameplay and freedom to explore. However, I am fine with that as I like a game with a strong narrative and the story set up here seems to be very interesting (and, yes, I am a fan of Harry Potter books and movies). This has some weird animation hiccups and oddities but it would be madness to expect the game to be absolutely perfect considering the ambition on show here. Hopefully the developers will support the game will regular updates to address bugs as people report them. Really intrigued to play this for myself though so I stopped watching the gameplay footage. How will it run on my PC, I wonder... I am reading many different accounts from others about how it is performing with some saying it runs fine and others claiming it is the usual unoptimised mess we have sadly become accustomed to on PC. I hope NVIDIA release a game-ready for this tomorrow as the current 528.24 driver has no profile for the game. That doesn't mean the game won't work but it may be the reason for the reports of iffy performance. I hope we don't have to wait until Friday and the game's official release for the new driver...
PC version seems to run well: He tests Ampere and Lovelace cards. Of course Lovelace will give you the best experience.
Exclusive PC gameplay. Don't know what system he's using though as there's no specs listed in the description. Performance seems good though. I think the people complaining about stuttering are trying to play the game on machines that don't have enough VRAM and RAM.....especially if they are turning on RT.
70GB preload,not sure why I am preloading ,as it is probably faster just to download it on release.Now all I got to do is get my butt out of bed at 12PM EST.
preloading, those 69gbs didn't take long tbh surprising for Steam, usually Origin/Ubisoft connect are super fast but Steam isn't
Yeah, I have just done the same. Took around 10 minutes to download too. At least, the game can decrypt and unpack itself when it unlocks later while I am downstairs eating but, yes, I could have just downloaded it and been playing it within 10-15 minutes either way. I hope the game doesn't have a 50+ GB Day One patch too. I mean if it launches today then one would hope that the preload already includes all the latest patches.
I think that many that even consider buying this game want to experience the Harry Potter magical universe and don't necessarily buy it for any technological leaps or game play innovations. From what I've gathered by reading reviews, sound and music is great, combat is great, graphics are fine and the castle is very well made, that's probably enough for a lot of people. But you're not wrong in saying that the game borrows a lot from open world games like AC series or other similar games.
Nope, its just bad, pre-rel (or EA) tests are showing all the same bad results regarding PC performance, its only PC...
12 Minutes to unpack/verify/install and 3 error messages which needed 3 restarts of the game to compile shaders on RTX 4090 24GB.Interesting start. Just to add all 3 of my Controllers work fine. PS3 After Glow/Logitech 710/Dualsense PS 5 EDIT: Played for 1 hour with DLSS 3 Frame Generation On DLSS Quality and some sharpening.The game looks very good,plays good and this Harry Porter game looks to be a winner.Another kind of game I like,that just has some fun gameplay.
