Yeah, the game has crashed three times for me so far. Other than that, it runs well. Usually above 45-50 fps (i7-8700, 1070TI, 16GB RAM) @ 2560x1440 -- could probably get more at 1080p, but thats fine for now. I do wish it wouldnt crash, however...

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
No crashes for me in 1 hour of play, yet.
High ram and vram usage though, playing at 1440p. 8700k, 1080ti, 32gb ram. How's the usage for 16gb ram users?
My settings:

Now imagine if the port would have been better.
... or the regional pricing wasn't shit
Numbers wouldn't change much.Now imagine if the port would have been better.
Average user review score would though (it's currently at 41%)
That's noise sampling porn right there.
That fur holy shit.
I've decided to hold off on playing this due to performance issues. It's promising that Guerilla have already said they're working on the issues, but actions speak louder than words.
It keeps getting better.

Does it really not stream at all or this is the way it looks for a few seconds before the data makes it into GPU memory?
On combat it drops to 30-40fps lol.
Doesn't stream at all. I sit around on that place for a while while lookingg around and noticing a lot more bad textures.
I have played for about an hour and a half. So far no crashes and what seems like a stable 60fps. I play all my games at 1080P though. I really want to finally finish the game and play the expansion, so for me it is playing alright.
Anyway guys if you want to really check the performance, wait until you control adult Alloy and doing the combat.
if your forcing AF in driver uses this fix for nvidia,
gotta reset the profile in driver and its all fine

no issue like that here
no crashes either

Yep I disabled 16x AF and rebuilding cache again and that problem is gone.
The game looks stunning.
And despite being on my second playthrough I'm enjoying it more than I thought. Aiming with kb&m at a high framerate feels soooo good.
I feel like a fluid killing machine instead of a lousy third rate peasant archer that is limping. I'm hooked again.

Almost the same setup and almost the same configuration and I'm having a similar performance so yeah, let's comment my experience.No crashes for me in 1 hour of play, yet.

So, I'm happy to say that after playing an hour and a half I can say that I'm having a good performance and a good experience with this PC version at this very moment, I'm not getting crashes, always at 60fps or more and visual quality is stunning, so yeah, this is a similar case as Nier: Automata in which I had an amazing experience with the port but tons of people reported problems.
Yay, my computer is the choosen one I guess

I have too many other games I could be playing to try roulette with HZD.
Someone just tag me when the inevitable patch to fix the stuttering rolls out. If I had paid that money and experienced a slide slide show. I would probably rip my desk out of the wall.

I'll add my 2 cents, on my computer (Ryzen 3600, 32gb, 2060 super OCed), it runs fine at 1080p60 so far (out of the training area)
I have everything set to ultra except for shadows and clouds (both set to high)
I do have the issue where I can't force AF on the Nvidia control panel, so I have to use the borked ingame implementation, but otherwise, things are running well here.

I had two more crashes... really unsure whats causing them :/ RAM usage isnt even that high from what I've seen..
but apart from that, its smooth sailing. no stuttering either.
's quite pretty though (not all max settings)

My system is gonna melt running this game. It makes my PC run worryingly hot.
Also had the pleasure of the game crashing on me, as well as the game not actually closing when you exit it, forcing you to kill the game from the task manager.

I really need to stop preloading shit on Steam. I always forget how long it takes to unpack. It's probably faster just to download the game from scratch.
And now the game is "optimizing" itself...

quick tip for anyone
once you get the tripcaster you get a tutorial quest to trip 3 machines with it, but it wont progress unless you activate quest in the quest menu

Crashed while still in the cave area of the tutorial. Says I have played for 40 minutes, but I'm pretty sure half of that was the game optimizing itself.
Just sprint out of that cave and hope i doesn't crash quicker than you can run, when i stayed too long there it crashed for me too, but i've only had one crash in over 2 hours since leaving that cave.
I managed to play for another hour and finished the tutorial, and then crashed again.
Stuttering fix
If your experiencing stutters please try this
Im nvidia driver set to prefer max performance
Many reports online saying it really helps with gpu management in this game and eliminates alot of stutter

Wow, it's funny that you mention that, as I remember nearly finishing the game on PS4, and in my logbook it still had a tutorial to complete. Thought it was just a bug.

Well, played it for 8 hours already, whew. Time to stop for now.
FWIW, I was having crashes (2 crashes in 1 hour) in the game with a GPU clock/power limit that is stable in everything else I've played recently. But once I went back to stock clocks and power I never had a crash again (~5 hours). So it's more sensitive to hardware stability than most things.
I played a bit and it played very smoothly but the hitches were just SO bad on VRR. It made me feel sick. I just don't have patience to deal with that kind of horseshit. Not the lowest average framerate I've played on this i9-9900k, 2080, and 32GB RAM ever, it would clip around at a very nice pace then this wave like hitting a really steep wave in a harbor of frametimes, then it would go fast again... It kept repeating. Definitely the worst feeling performance I've ever experienced, and I used to play GLQuakeworld on a Pentium 75MHz! Even certain upcoming extremely demanding games play much, much better.
So that's a bunch of horseshit.
And Steam rejected my refund because I preordered. So I have to do it the slow and annoying way...
Say what you will but I do think this is the one of the most broken, poor quality ports I've ever had the misfortune to play.

This is not a PC issue, it's been like this since PS4. There was even a thread in Era iirc.
Anyway here's my benchmark, and oof...
ikr. It's specially rough coming off of Death Stranding.Anyway here's my benchmark, and oof...
I would so take this in as heart beat...Anyway here's my benchmark, and oof...
Yeah, it's not that bad actually.
But when I thought everything is running smoothly, the game crashes just right outside the gates of the starting hut.

As far as performance goes, I have absolutely butter smooth frametimes, and 100% GPU Utilization, playing at 3440x1440 using the Digital Foundry suggested settings, except Motion Blur off and AA set to Camera Based. V-sync turned off in game, turned on in Nvidia Control Panel.
90+ FPS frequently. I got 98 FPS in the benchmark. For reference I got 79 FPS in the benchmark with Ulitmate Quality preset.
My frametimes as I said are perfect, I do get occasional hitches from moving around the world but it is not frequent, and I do not have any hitches when just standing around.
I believe two things for why I'm having a much smoother experience compared to others.
1. I am using G-sync
2. I have Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling turned on. Before this setting I never got 100% GPU utilization in games, 99% at best.
Hardware Specs:
Windows 10, Version 2004 (Required for Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling)
2080 TI, 1980 Mhz Core, 7500 Mhz Memory, PCIE 3 x16
6700k, 4.6 GHz all cores
16 GB DDR4 3200 CL14
Game Installed on Crucial MX500 1TB SSD
An example of how my frametimes look, I'm honestly really happy with how the game performs on my machine!
