Cool helifax, not sure why but it crashes the exe when launching with 3D enabled.

[quote="Milamber*"]Woahhh http://store.steampowered.com/app/268050/ Not one positive comment from 88 people![/quote] As expected, people are getting pissy about the letterboxing, film grain, and 30fps cap. You can disable the film grain in the in game settings, you can enable 60fps with console commands, and you can reduce the letterboxing with a console command. A lot of the complaints about poor performance are also from people with low RAM, VRAM, or on portable computers (laptops, ultrabooks, etc). The developers said the game will eat up VRAM since it was designed for the current gen consoles and some people seem to be angry at any game that doesn't run on their 3+ year old systems.

The reviews have kinda put me off this one, to be honest. It seems like it's more action than horror, and not particularly good action.

it has a solid 76/84 on xbone/ps4 in metacritic, so not bad at all. Thanks a lot Helifax for giving it a look :)

Gave a look.. Apparently is an OGL engine using a Dx11 context to draw... I dunno who is playing here (either nvidia or the dev) but WHY THE FCK would you render an OpenGL context inside a DX11 one???? So unless we can make the engine render in OpenGL (the proper way) can't fix anything.... Btw CM mode is not working.... Looking in the dev console I see OGL calls... My wrapper is being detected on launch but that's it.... it switches to DX11 after.... OGL renderer: [url=http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=wpwybnph.s04.png][img]http://iforce.co.nz/i/wpwybnph.s04.png[/img][/url] OGL in DX11 emulated renderer ( Lazy port?!?!?!)

Aren't they completely different engines? But then if it's using dx11 can't migoto work on it?

[quote="Alo81"] you can reduce the letterboxing with a console command. [/quote] The letterboxing, silly as they are can't be removed; if you do, you'll miss key game prompts and info - the bars are what contain "said" info. I guess the question is, would this be fixable? If not, I'll start playing it now! :)

Oh, these are not good news. What a shame that we will not be able to play this one in 3D vision, not even compatibiliy mode... I will get it for not more than 10 EUR, I think. I am sorry Helifax for your purchase.

Possibly the same way my wrapper works by using some sort of inter-operability layer. Basically all the draw calls and internal format is OpenGL. Just the Back Buffers + swap mechanism is done in DirectX11. You can share framebuffers between OGL and DX9-11. I haven't seen an engine behave like this... I tried will all the OGL debuggers out there...none of them is picking anything up....so something is very very weird with this game.... TBH telling me that some weird cinematic 21:9 AR and 30fps cap is HOW THEY INTENDED is bullshiet..... now we get a hybrid engine as well.... 3DMigoto won't work since the draw calls are not DX. My wrapper will not work since is not drawing in the OGL buffers....but rather DX11... TBH it deserves the bad review is getting on Steam....
