Everyone will be happy if this game had better performance, even ps4 players.
Still your opinion or trying to change everybodys mind isnt good because you talk about yourself and not everyone is doing that for perfomance like you. If you need always 50-60fps thats your thing. if u like playing on low graphics thats your thing.
So why bothering everyone else with this?
Happy hunting with pc death squads
ok so just for that thread i’m gonna re-post that video here and after that you guys can comment on what ya think : )
Problem isn’t lowering the graphics to get a nicer frame rate. Problem is lowering it to the point where you can see the pred when invisible.
Im fairly certain thats because the game is more CPU heavy.
look guys, I play on low settings, because I play on a below spec PC. If I dont play on low settings I wouldnt even be able to play.
Now heres the dealio, I agree. PC will always have an advantage when they can lower their settings, and consoles are locked in. Thats just the nature of gaming. And trust me, Just as many pc players lower settings for an advantage, as much as for performance. Regardless its here to stay, and its not cheating necessarily.
That being said, while I havent noticed the difference for myself, Its been said that preds cloak acts differently under different graphics settings, which if it is the case, Then thats on illfonic, for not accounting for that. Not PC players that need to (or want to) run on lowered settings.
That being said bear in mind that pred is visible when cloaked, at all times except standing still. With how the cloak bends light, this is especially visible when he is leaping, but always visible nonetheless. The real detriment is that PC players (And the reason I say them is they almost always have a decent headset), or anyone with a headset on either side for that matter, Can sound whore the clicking pred makes. And from what Ive played this patch, it has only gotten more frequent, not less. Meaning you are likely being spotted and found in cloak not because people are abusing graphics, but because people are soundwhoring you. Add onto that that you are practically visible when doing anything other than standing still, and you see where im getting at.
Now obviously graphics settings do change how the game looks and as such im sure low graphics makes it easier for you to be seen, but not on the level that everyone seems to be making such a deal out of this for. Not unless there is a serious issue with how the cloak reacts with certain settings off/low.
Im not sure, I havent tested, but ive played this game on both highest settings, and lowest, and to me, its never been that big of a difference.
Also I have been playing PC for years, at this point im unphased by this kinda shit honestly. Its always going to be something that exists on PC multiplayer games though. No matter what, its the one thing we cant change.
as far as i’m aware as of
cloaking isn’t more visible under any setting UNLESS we are specifically referring to draw distance visibility in which case yes if the PC player has lower settings he will be able to see the cloaked predator easier from farther away due to less foliage and worse textures it’s easier for that person to make out where the Shimmer? is that the predator makes while cloaked this is doubly true with sound whoring that my guy lazy here mentions and yes this is just unfair for us PS4 players cause we dont’ have the option if i wasn’t such a buisness scumbag and bought the PC version you better believe i’d be playing on the lowest setting for the advantage but i don’t support EGS so i got the PS4 version and it fucking sucks getting pelted by PC Lazerfire from full camps away with very little i can do besides waste 6 minutes of being extremely careful to kill one guy let alone getting dumpsterd by a full team that does this
during benchmarking my cpu never goes over 60% even when the GPU is being stressed out at 100% usage. Disabled hyper threading and barely made a difference.
is the GPU usage. lighting on this game is really bad. That’s why lowering shadows has such a strong effect on both GPU usage and visual quality.
Draw distance is the only thing I would say affects how the pred looks. Still, even at low settings if you stay looking in one direction long enough, foliage will start to appear. And as you move closer too.
The cloaking effect is clearly visible, always, unless the pred is standing still. I still don’t get how people fail to understand this or continue to argue lowering graphics has some magical effect on this. it doesn’t. And if the pred jumps right when you are looking at “the sun” (or whatever light source comes from the sky) you can see it clearly, on any graphics setting.
Interesting. though that could be just as easily a case of the game not properly utilizing your CPU, as it could be a case of the game not needing it.
Regardless thanks for the info.
OP is a moron
Let me know what percentage of eSports tournaments are done in consoles and then come and talk about how PC players are “not taken seriously anymore”
They really should get a pro patch for ps4 pro, boost mode doesnt make a difference (atleast for me)its below 30 almost always, and pc well optimization is garbage on both sides ps4 and pc.
I wasn’t talking about Esports nor competitive scenes was I? There are reasons why games are taken to the competitive format on PC just as there are reasons for games being taken to the competitive format on other platforms. PC isn’t a end all be all. This is the type of gatekeeper shit that would make you think the console wars are still going.
As for the issue at hand, it’s pretty clear as to the actual facts of the situation. I’ve never once met a good PC Fireteam Member after weeks of playing Crossplay and dealing with PC Predators as a Ps4 Player.
It’s an unfair advantage. But it’s not game breaking. It’d be nice if there was a visibility fog so low graphics can’t be abused.
But I just feel bad for people that do that. They must really suck at the game to lower the graphics for that extra advantage. It smells like desperation.
I love that video. Lol.
Atleast be honest OP. Its a pretty big advantage as there’s no fog and it still renders the entire map & the pred looks like a grey blob in the distance. You can stand on a hill and see from one compound to the next without all the clutter. Most of the tree foliage is outright removed and the predator runs around as the only textured moving object in the game lol. Trying to justify it is pretty dumb, you sound like the people that join night maps in games and then adjust their gamma to see everything. What’s the point?
Inb4 “but my sniper hits an unrendered branch at 5000km so it doesnt matter if I can see where the pred is leaping across the map” because I hear that one a lot too. Lowest should be console settings and yeah that includes motion blur if thats what the game is being balanced around & I normally can’t stand motion blur. If you’re locked at 30 frames with the console players so be it tbh. Draw distance is way too high on low settings, plain and simple.
Fucking what? uh yea it is heres a flawless bullet proof counter point.
ps4 cant lower settings, pc can. ergo pc for being pc gets a massive leg up. ergo cheating.
also if the game was ment to be played that way why even have higher settings to begin with? wouldnt it make more sense to keep them low have everyone on the same playing feild?

Pc players are now the spoiled rich kids whos parents feed them shit from a silver spoon. They think they are gods but lack the skills to make up what the hardware cost. If any real pro pc players picked this game up. No pc or console player would be able to compete with them. If you adjust ur graphics to the point where the pred cloaked is still visible that is cheating plain and simple. Tbh i wouldnt mind if Illfonic just removed the pc crossplay completely and let u “pc” players play each other till all of you leave
I mean, we mostly always play with crossplay off anyway, so, no harm there
since exactly when do you not play this game or talk with someone who actually plays it on PC? fog was added to low settings like three weeks into the game release
