(PCGT IV) The Mentaru Shoujo Thread - L4D2 Servers Now Up

Well, if he's saying it had no difference, I'd imagine that's the case, otherwise he'd have mentioned the juddery tearing mess it became over 60.

It's just that such monitors are quite rare, and I've not seen him mention owning one.

[TheTurnipKing]

I should have bought Eldritch sooner.

I switched off Vsync earlier when running FurMark and forgot to turn it back on. Booted up the new episode of The Walking Dead and the capacitor whine from my card is LOUD.

Thing was doing 700fps in-game.

[False]

I had that on my old card. Was maddening.

[jiggles]

Well, it's silenced by enabling Vsync, so it's not that bad, but even the adaptive Vsync option isn't ideal. I want a Gsync monitor so bad.

[Winckle]

Gsync is going to be amazing.

So started Transformers War for Cybertron since you all said it's good.

While Megatron is a brilliantly hilarious boss - is Ammo mean to be this scarce, or am I doing something wrong?

It can be fairly scarce. You're supposed to switch up your weapons and transform to use your vehicle mode weapon. Plus melee as well.
If you hunt around a bit though you shouldn't be all that short of ammo. Unless you're an absolutely gooseberry fool shot.

Unless you're an absolutely gooseberry fool shot.

[Albert]

I really enjoyed Transformers, but found I died a lot more in it than I expected. I'll play something like Gears Of War on normal, and maybe die once or twice in the campaign towards the end, but in transformers I was dieing right from the off.

I'm probably just gooseberry fool though.

[Delusibeta]

So, anyone want to join a dumb Fantasy Dota 2 league?

[Tragic Magic]

Just about to start Dark Souls on the PC.

Okay so I'm using the dsfix but I seem to have terrible jaggies as you can see in the below pictures:

I'll have another play with the dsfix settings but I'd really appreciate if someone could let me know the optimal setting to use as I'm not super savvy like you guys. If it helps, I have i5 4670K, 8GB RAM, GTX 770.

Make sure you install the latest DSfix.

Yep, done that thanks but, as above, I don't seem to have edited the settings quite right. Doesn't look as good as other pics I've seen in the high res thread.

Just noticed the water round his feet in the first picture. Is it supposed to look like that?

[Tragic Magic]

Huh, is it normal to have 10 estus flasks? I'm almost positive that you were only give 5 at the start when I played it on 360.

[Irene Demova]

The max amount starts at 10 then it gradually goes down to 5 with use

[Super Dragon 64]

The bonfire at Firelink Shrine is already upgraded to give you 10 flasks whereas all the others in the world give you 5 until you upgrade them.

Post the contents of your dsfix file here and we can try to help.

[Hexx]

Aww. Transforms WfC makes me giggle.

Oh yes! I'd forgotten about upgrading the bonfires!

This is how I currently have dsfix set up, thank you:

# Set SSAO scale

# "HBAO" = Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion
# "SCAO" = VSSAO + HBAO
# "VSSAO2" = Volumetric SSAO with more samples (tweaked by Asmodean)

############# Framerate

# Enable variable framerate (up to 60)
# NOTE:
# - this requires in-memory modification of game code, and may get you banned from GFWL
# - there may be unintended side-effects in terms of gameplay
# - you need a very powerful system (especially CPU) in order to maintain 60 FPS

# Use this at your own risk!

The game does look fantastic but, as you can see in my screenshots, the AA seems lacking. I also got some bad slow down walking up the grassy hill from Firelink Shrine.

Amazing game though, loving it all over again.
