Wolfenstein on PC apparently has severe performance issues

Now that I agree with. In a big way.

I wonder how many times this game has been pirated already...

I'm guessing SP campaign is 8ish hours? It always takes me longer as I like to explore and enjoy the art of the game.

Just read this from IGN:

10-to-12 hour campaign can certainly make you stop and wonder more than, say, Raven's 2009's occult-centric Wolfenstein reboot.

So that's pretty good for a modern day FPS.

I may just pick this up tonight, although I'm for sure getting Watch Dogs next week, :D

I would say its worth while. Regretting downloading it, substantially more expensive than the disk from amazon.... my fault for assuming it would be the other way around. The enemies are cool as hell and really get the sense that the shit is hitting the fan, fighting to stay alive...I haven't felt that in a FPS for a while.

Watchdogs im still not sold on based on the gameplay vids.... some of the hacks look really cool but im concerned the world is a little lifeless. I am not sure if this is an inherent problem with the world or whether the vids I have seen are just not that exciting.

Meh, its a Bethesda game, did any of you expect it to work first time?

I agree, but when people say the game runs like shit even on the lowest settings, it is somewhat concerning. Hopefully the driver updates will fix those issues.

Total biscuit played started playing the PC version a hour before its launch and he's had no issues what so ever... Well not to the degree some people have been having. I haven't got the game yet but the one person I know on steam that has it seems to have no issues with the games performance and he has a GTX 660 and a i5 2500.

Yes, and it's not fun for those people. But hardly any game releasing these days does not have that. Even PC exclusives have stuff like that, so I doubt it has anything to do with porting.

Let's hope there will soon be driver and game updates :)

Had no problems with Dishonored or Skyrim on launch day.

What's with the bad Bethesda rep ? The only awful, awful port they made was Rage. Didn't include any options because of it's "advanced optimization system" and ran like crap on AMD hardware on launch day.

Apart from that though, zero problems with Bethesda games ...

slow ass pci-e strikes again

bottlenecked master race LMAO

^mad cuz bad

People really need to stop supporting Bethesda. Let me guess; this broken game, with the ridiculous day one patch, will get hundreds of GOTY awards, too.

STFU Kenny Powers or I'll sick my craiglist indian wolf on you.

Id Tech 5 is a engine known to have troubles with some PC's, the devs sorted it pretty fast last time, not reason to think it won't work again this time. I'll be trying this pretty soon, the download is at 95%. I've heard people with similar setups to me are running the game just fine so I'm cautiously optimistic.

1. So far every multiplat this gen has been better on PC except lol MLB lol. This includes Watch Dogs. You'll be owned once a Digital Foundry article is made, just like every multiplat so far.

2. These are isolated incidents seen in tech support forums for every game ever released.

The game runs and looks better on PC.......

Yeah I was watching the gaf thread and apparently it'll even stick your fps at 2-3, requiring either a restart or setting all settings to low and trying again. Seems like a massive memory leak.

It's the ID tech 5 piece of shit engine after all.

@Jankarcop: How would the PS4 be 4 th place in anything? It's number 1 for consoles in sales and power. And even if you put it behind the pc that would make it 2nd place. So your joke is lame

in this day and age having such severe performance problems from a linear game and an AAA dev does not reflect good on Bethesda ( i can understand some bugs on open world games but this ? )

I'm gonna laugh if watchdogs still has that flat ass lighting on PC and performance issues.

This game is amazing. The shooting is just so much damn fun. All that carnage going on when firing two assault rifles or carrying an MG, it's incredible.

Enemies hidding behind cover ? No problem, lob a grenade at them or just fire at the cover and it's gone.

It's also a huge throwback to old school FPS with all the secrets, health bar and unlimited amount of weapons you can carry... but of course 'elitists' like uninspiredcup still hate it. Pffffft lol

I'm gonna laugh if Watch_dogs and Wolfenstein perform and look better on my 3 year old mid-end PC than on 'next gen' consoles...

I'll laugh either way.

But I'd love to see a large angry mob welcome ubisoft with open arms from all factions :P.

It's just not cross gen games that are affected by these poor optimize/performance issues. Crysis and Crysis Warhead are completely broken and unplayable for a few people who bought them over Steam. Also those are just two games for example that are ether broken or have performance issues.

That is my biggest issue with games on PC and people love to blame it on cause it's a console port or cause it's a cross gen game when that has nothing to do with it cause you have PC only games and none cross gen games that are affected as well.

Don't get me wrong I do a good 90% of my gaming on PC and I love gaming on PC, I'm just not a knee pad wearing sucker like the rest of these herms.

BTW according to them the game runs great especially on AMD gpus ( a 7850 beating a gtx760) and the problem is probably the drivers that are using

Wolfenstein Gpu benchmark

more like Nvidia, the superior graphics card confirmed.

amd/ati cards always suck with new games

Limited to 60FPS? Lame.

yeah right see 2 posts above

Game is ruining fine on my PC... its not a very good looking game, but its not ugly by any means.

Gawd damn this things like 41gb.

Da ****.

Wow that's pretty big for a FPS, at least it's not like Titanfall which was what like 65gb :P

yeah that was total bullshit as well.

With files like this becoming more and more normal, internet usage caps are going to have to go the way of the dodo, especially with nearly everyone purchasing online, downloading the file.

Instead we have the FCC trying to **** it up entirely, when we're so far behind Korea as is.

Runs great for me with a 670/2500k, as others have said its not the best looking game in the world but its good enough. Not sure why it needs so much hard drive space though.

4670K and GTX 760. Runs fine. I think those with problems are in the minority.

AMD and Nvidia need to start getting their shit together with OpenGL. They bombed with RAGE as well.

99% of OpenGL games that come out are never really heavy on the graphics so the second one is both manufacturers seem to have a lot of problems.

I don't think people are angry, rather they are confussed as there are around 5 different limited editions :S

I still have a download cap, but on the plus side I have really high download speeds.

There used to be a time I was over my limit constantly, luckily the current limits are way more lenient and I download a lot of games for PC, PS3 and Vita with no issues.

Nearly everyone is a big overstatement though, in the west downloading is becoming more and more popular, but there are still lots of people who buy their games on a disc. And steam stats have shown that not a lot of people outside Western Europe en the US buy and download their games on steam...

i mean im not having any issues on my gtx 770

must be amd, since amd 290 is better than gtx 780

I'm thinking high resolution movies and to a lesser extent uncompressed audio.

Seen a lot of (short) movies so far and the audio sounds great.

It always is a minority. It's a shame but a reality that with every game release, especially a popular one, there will always be people getting crashes or low FPS.

no it's because this games a console port sloppily optimized for pc while they took more time optimizing the consoles performance happens all the time.

It's a shitty console game anyway who the hell just wants a single player only wolfenstein? Not me starbreeze the company who made the chronicles of riddick suck they have no experience doing multiplayer riddick was sp only also.

Return to castle wolfenstein is much better than this shit game.

Do mine eyes deceive me or is my 7870 (ie r9 270) performing better than a fucking GTX 770!? HAHAHA!!!

Well damn, I was looking forward to this game.

And a minority of people having problems has killed your hype ?

This happens with every single PC game.

This thread is filled with people that make a huge deal out of NOTHING

Mein Got !!!!

Is that the stupidest thing I read all day

(stupidest ? Oh ffs, reading this post has made me lose braincells, that's how stupid it is)

Pretty much.

Also, if people think RTWC had great multiplayer, well, it didn't. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory did, which is a stand-alone multiplayer game.

The sad thing is I think WoW and most MMO's are usually 25gb-45gb even with all of the expansions and patches, there's really no reason why sp games should be 45gb+
