Is it playable?
 

You guys are probably playing it like there was no tomorrow. One question remains: is it too bugged to be played?

I don't mind small things but can't stomach if I have to reload multiple hours of gameplay because of bugs.

Please avoid spoilers ;)

According to Reddit, no. It seems pretty certain that if you have a PS4, Xbox One S, base Xbox One, or minimum spec PC, don't bother.

According to me, yes. I have an Xbox One X (with SSD) and the game runs very well. I've had few bugs in 6 hours, and no frame drops, even in huge firefights, driving around the city in driving rain, etc. The graphics could be better, but they're mostly good, especially at night.

But other people are saying the game doesn't look/run well even on next gen consoles, so I dunno. Hard to say what the deal is there, except that I continue my streak of games running better for me than everyone else, I guess.

People with high end PCs have the fewest complaints. I've seen a lot of people report steady 60fps with Ultra everything with no appreciable issues if they have the hardware for it. I watched a bit of a couple of Youtube LPs with good PCs, and it looked good and played well. I probably wouldn't play it on an HDD.

I'm playing on High on an AMD 590 and get 45-55 FPS at best. Having said that I'm not sure why they made the game so demanding where 80% of buyers will have problems.

By that I mean older consoles and most PC gamer's. Don't take my word for it just look at the steam stats for GPU's. Were not all high end hardware twitch streamers.

When they promoted Ray tracing and high end NVIDIA effects I knew this would happen.

im playing it via geforce now and everything on max without RT i get 70-100 fps with dlss, with RT goes to 35-50 fps
played for an hour mostly testing but there are glitches like this https://i.imgur.com/xkJNjDC.jpg
definitely worth a play now and another in the summer or when they fix it alot

I just tried the game on my new AMD 5700XT and it gets me around 50-75 FPS, and I can turn some of the graphics settings on Ultra without all the Nividia options disabled.

Yes there are some glitches and bugs but nothing game breaking.

It's a bit weird, I get smooth framerates* at 1080p on High with an RX580, and there's people (according to Reddit) that have i7800k and 980ti that can barely play it on Low settings. Makes no sense.

(* Certainly Lower than 50, but not low enough for me to notice it, and no major dips)

Keyword here is optimization. To many different types of hardware builds that weren't fully tested. Some probably still use HD's and not SSD's, and have different software.

Not looking good for a developer that wants GTA 5 sale numbers. Though incoming patches will probably help correct some of the problems on consoles and PC.

Another heads up beware switching some graphic options as it messes up FPS even more during conversations. This sounds like a bug that needs to be fixed.

That reminds me of Gerald's hair. They did it again :rolleyes: ;)

Narrowed it down to the shadow options just change them to medium, and conversations don't lose 30-40 FPS. It's still a bug but the temporary fix still works.

Kinda reminds me of Red Dead 2 on the PC and the water reflection bug.

Edit: Set Cascaded Shadows Resolution to medium or low for a performance boost.

Running smooth for me so far on Ultra preset. i7-4790K, GTX 1080, 16GB RAM, SSD

I'm not blown away by the graphics though. It looks like an average AAA to me. I'm not in Night City yet though. Doing the Nomad prologue right now.

One major complaint I have so far is that not all of the keys are rebindable. Things like the map, inventory, and the journal can't be changed which is a real head scratcher. Not sure why they wouldn't include all functions in the control customization menu.

To make matters worse, the game doesn't recognize any of the extra buttons on my Logitech mouse.

I had time after all and gave it a go on Stadia. Used standard settings without 4K. Runs great! Loading is faster than in AC:V or RDR2.

I also agree that the game looks great but not as spectacular as the trailers. May be due to the lack of ray-tracing and 4K.

No major bugs to be seen so far. Runs smooth all in all. Totally worth playing.

Update from me. Installed the latest AMD drivers and the game is now butter smooth on ultra settings. I'm not digging the blur and light effects though. Hurts my eyes.

One thing of note to many map icons and side quests that interfere with the main missions. I'm having a hard time getting my OCD in check. Gotta see everything.:biggrin:

For me yes, my rig is mid-range with GTX1080 and no issues so far!

Well it's official my ding a ling is clipping outside the jeans as well.:lol:

You'll have to explain to me how to trigger it as in my case it doesn't happen.
Is it outfit specific? Or is AMD only thing?

Performance reviews are starting to pop up from hardware sites with a lot of set-ups tested. The tweak town tests are from shortly before release, the other ones after:

Okay, if it matters, my rig is still i5 4670 with GTX 1070 and I deliberately set the high preset then disabled all blurs.
Everything plays smoothly.
Except a microstutter, just one, when I played as Johhny Silverhand and was entering a helicopter.
And yea, 1080p.

That was just the world temporarily going into slow motion due to the presence of Keanu Reeves.

That reload animation, tho'

Avoid spoilers, please. Not everybody is as far in the game as you ;)

I ain't seen no Keanu yet, but then again I'm letting myself get sidetracked by side-jobs and other side-things, and refusing to use the fast travel, just walking and driving around, just letting it all soak in, and just, just, hey where is my penis? Must have chosen to switch genitalia off. Damn, feeling left out here.

A glitch in the matrix? Whoah!

Yeah, it's easy to get lost in Night City. I'm finding it pretty damn immersive so far, and man it looks great.

I just went with boxers instead of a dick. It's funny that they put it in there, but I don't see how it adds anything to the game. I noticed there was even a penis size slider during character creation, but it was disabled. Not sure why they left it in there if it's not functional. Maybe it's for a DLC. :)

It's only disabled by default. You have to chose penis or vagina in the character generation screen. Then you choose the size and what type of pubic hair you want.

They included this because the game has sex with full nudity.

I thought I tried it out while I had a penis selected and it was disabled. I guess I'm just remembering it wrong.

Oh well… I don't find it particularly interesting.

I JUST GOT TOUCHED BY KEANU AND IT WAS GLORIOUS

(But seriously, I'm quite liking the story so far)

I remember trying it out and yeah, it definitely worked, and then I must have set it to none/underwear.
Oh well, I probably don't need to see my limp todger at any moment in the game. An amusement at best. :D

My specs are a I7-9700k and RTX 2080 super, running on 1080p on high settings and ray tracing with every option turned on and DLSS set to balanced. Had one scene where it didn't feel completely smooth and except for that it's been running great. Been playing for 4-5 hours so far.

I agree.
What I would find interesting is a slider for body height/width. Did I miss it or is there really none?

Yeah, if the transgender people get their will through, then I must have the right to be fat in an RPG if I want!

I didn't see anything like that. I would also have liked the ability to make V look slightly younger or older.

Well spoken!
But more seriously… that's a pretty standard feature today. I guess they had problems scaling clothes/armour or something like that.

Yep, good point.

Playing on PC with a 3600 / RX 570 combo and an Ultrawide at 2560x1080. So far plays good enough on high for me, but i'm only about an hour in. I might pop in my 1060 a little later and see if it's better.

With the existing keybind limits (not all keys can be changed in-game under settings) it became unplayable for me. But I found a short guide on how to change them:

Here is a list of what the key maps are:

I've decided that the game looks pretty damn good. I'm starting to get a sense of the scale of the city. I drove over to Japantown, which is amazing looking. It does seem that I'm taking my chances if I drive fast over any long distances. My drive can't keep up, and a crash is very likely. It's easy to work around that, but a bummer that I have to.

I was looking through that config file, and I found something very interesting. Apparently, they must have had a lean function at one point.

I wonder why they didn't implement it in the final release. It's too bad because I think it would be a signficant addition to the gameplay.

For @JDR13 and anyone else wondering, the guide and key names I linked solved the issue for me.

I was able to fix all the key mappings completely to my taste. 200% difference. Where as last night it was taking 8-9 tries to complete each training exercise .. today I breezed through them all as if playing FO4 after 5 years. Okay maybe not that easy - but I didn't fail a single time, not even the optional advanced training tutorial.

What a difference it makes being able to map keys to what you are used to. No longer weird hand cross-overs over fumble fingers. I was able to map the F key to the ENTER key, the movement keys to their proper arrow positions, and from there all the important combat keys so they are within close reach of my left hand. Also a few custom edits for the UI and quality of life.

I have lost some respect for CDP though - they should have built this in from the start and not required users to learn how to edit their CONFIG XML files to do it.

Anyhow I can now continue playing where as last night was this " " close to uninstalling I was so frustrated :P
