Right, here I am playing Deathloop on the PS5 on Necrokiller's birthday, but rest assured I'll be playing something much better on the Switch on my birthday

Jabhi kahun ke aaj manhoosiyat se bhara din kyun lag raha hai

Deathloop jo PC par stutter kar rahi hai

 

[CerebralTiger]

I wonder who's 'bright' idea it was to map dodge to L3; easily the most awkward button placement for this kind of a mechanic that I've come across

i guess coz moving from Left analogue so just click while moving, will get being used to i guess. can't you change it ?

 

[Necrokiller]

Nah, just busy playing SM 3D World + Bowser's Fury online in coop

Ditching Mario and Switch and making a u-turn on Deathloop as soon as it was released. Hilarious

 

[CerebralTiger]

I mean, I've finished Mario 3D World. Ab kitni baar kheloon?

Yeah, will take some getting used to. Sadly, there's no button remap option in the game. Hopefully, they add this along with a 40fps RT mode on PS5 for those with 120Hz displays.

I mean, game to Feb mein ayi thi and you were apparently "still busy" with it last month. Deathloop release hote hi dump kardi

Sadly, there's no button remap option in-game.

And nothing on the system level either. Just console things. Yikes

 

[CerebralTiger]

And nothing on the system level either.

lol oh, but there is; in the accessibility system settings. But it's not ideal, at least not when I tried it on the PS4 a few years ago.

Says it all about how useful it is
Do tell us how you would be able to remap the L3 from the system and still have the in game functions work in tandem. Don't see any reason why you would choose to get used to an inferior control scheme.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Inferior? lol switching dodge to L1 is much, much superior in my book. The only downside is that whatever was originally set to L1 gets mapped to L3, but I'll take that over having to click L3 while awkwardly moving the analog stick

Also, why isn't Necrokiller playing this? Ab tou 'hotfix' bhi aa gya hai

 

[CerebralTiger]

Not a single frame dropped and a flat 16.67ms frame time in performance mode on PS5.

Yikes!

Yikes!

 

[Necrokiller]

I mean, the fact that Alex found drops shows which one was more accurate.

Yikes at 2133x1152 upscaling on a 4K display.

Yikes at the next gen performance. No wonder people are wishing for a 40fps mode

Looks like you need a game changing controller with additional inputs and/or game changing controller API.

How would that help when the dodge and sprint logic is tied to the same button

The startup for sprint is odd to begin with. You dodge first, and then begin sprinting. Reminded me of sprinting in Sekiro (lol), which worked in the same manner

I mean, the fact that Alex found drops shows which one was more accurate.

Faulty I/O or RAM module perhaps lol. You shared a video from Returnal not too long ago with someone encountering pauses during traversal (was it ctron? ). Never experienced that in my playthrough

 

[Necrokiller]

You can bind two buttons to the same function. Sprint can stay on L3, but you do not necessarily have to press it again to dodge. Versatility rep

Can't figure out everything with a brief hands-on "at a friend's place"

 

[Necrokiller]

2060 Super performance the same as PS5 in "performance mode " and performs better in RT mode as well

Is this after the hotfix?

 

[Necrokiller]

Hotfix was only for mouse camera movement and can be activated with a launch parameter before it is officially patched.

 

[CerebralTiger]

You don't need to press twice to dodge. It's a single press that transitions the dodge to sprint provided you keep L3 held down.

Can't figure out everything without trying the game

2060 Super performance the same as PS5 in "performance mode " and performs better in RT mode as well

2060S internally runs at a lower frame rate compared to the PS5 in performance mode (naturally, because the PS5 performs between the 2060S and 2070S in quality mode, which is roughly on-par with its expected performance), so it'll either end up dipping below 60 in late-game taxing instances where the PS5 wouldn't or drop to a lower res than that of the PS5.

Also, you accidentally forgot to mention the stutter issue that often occurs in the PC version (happened twice for Alex in 40 hours of playtime, but more so for others) when a new area is loaded and persists across the level, and restarting the app is the only way to fix it

From the PC performance thread on your favorite forum, Reset Era:

Does anyone else keep running into problems where loading a new level frequently runs like crap?
Sometimes, doing things like toggling v-sync will fix it, but other times I have to completely quit and restart the game.

Same location, before a restart:

And after a restart:

It still looks absolutely terrible even when it's working "correctly" and running at 60, though.
That's with everything set to low, except for texture resolution, and RTAO rather than CACAO Performance.
Disabling RTAO doesn't seem to make much difference to performance in most locations anyway (but does look a lot better).

Yes. Doesn't seem to happen 100% of the time but definitely after some of the transfers (the first time going from Updaam to the Complex, and on the first return to Updaam as well). Haven't been playing with Afterburner on but I watched my montior's FPS counter and could see the frametime spikes happening and the framerate dropping 15-25 FPS every few seconds as I was just standing there not moving, staring at walls.

I've just been quitting the game after each level to avoid it. This port is shit.

Thats what i said. Every new level u start it stutters. First run is smooth. I noticed that one of my CPU Cores gets a 100% usage after this (while the rest is below 40%). I have to restart after every new level starts.

Computerbase hinted at a broken VRAM allocation/usage eventually leading to every card hitting its limit sooner or later without being able to purge it, resulting in stutters and general performance drops, especially when using the Raytracing options. Fiddling with the settings while in-game and/or loading new levels only accelerates this, meaning it's best to restart the game completely after you've changed stuff in the visual options and/or played for an x amount of time. It's quite an interesting read, too bad its language barrier prevented their observation from gaining any traction in this thread. Maybe it's something Alex is going to cover as well?

Yes absolutely, every new level! Doesn't matter if I've been in the same area and the same time of day before, the second level of play always gets stutter spikes at regular intervals. Have to restart to fix, and not related to any in game settings at all!

Yeah I have to restart after every level else I get a weird stutter that goes from 60 to 58 every 3 or 4 seconds. I tend to load into the next one then quit so it puts me right back into the level upon booting.

Wait for it...wait for it...yikes!!
