Alas, but Dishonored 2 - the continuation of the magnificent stealth-RPG, which was an exemplary game on the PC - continued the popular trend recently with the failed launching of titles on personal computers.
Already no one doubts that the game was really successful, but the mixed reviews on Steam are slightly stupefied. Why is that? It's simple - gamers complain about poor optimization, bugs, lags and so on.
You will see more things at once, and most sites on the Internet are optimized for this permission. Advanced - additional properties of the screen. Display and link for the monitor and graphics driver, color profile for the monitor. Other settings tabs vary depending on the card type, driver and manufacturer. With the "Show All Modes" button, you can access a list of different resolutions and frequencies by simply clicking the desired resolution at the same time as the frequency. The Monitor tab is important when determining the frequency used and changing the type of monitor. The check button does not allow you to select faulty frequencies that the monitor can not display. The drawback here is the choice of frequency in large steps, so you can not always use the highest supported frequency. Most possible problems are covered by graphics cards and monitoring files, but: If the resolution is not displayed properly, or the resolution and color depth can not be changed, the most common mistake is the correct identification of the video card and monitor.
- Cards are frequency specifications, hardware acceleration.
- The "Adapter" tab displays information about the video card and the driver.
- You can change the driver using the "Properties" button.
- You can damage the monitor by selecting a frequency that is not supported by the monitor.
- See Using multiple monitors on the same computer.
- Check the type and install the correct drivers.
Developer Studio and publisher Bethesda could not miss such a passing, so immediately responded by providing players with a troubleshooting guide. To begin with, of course, make sure that your computer generally has the necessary minimum components required to run the game. If everything is in order, then follow the link http://steamcommunity.com/games/403640/announcements/detail/633148006517250356 and read the tips from the developers.
Before you start the game, you must install the current graphics drivers. Density of grass in some areas. Here, the impact on performance is much less. Efficiency decreases as much as the variety of generated vegetation. Decreasing the value increases the maximum range for drawing shadows.
The best shade quality is at an average distance. Best quality with a relatively low impact on performance. As above, but I understand a little. Improve the appearance of shadows on other objects. Moderate impact on performance, allowing you to create more realistic shadows in some situations.
By the way, after the list with tips from developers, the following information appears: you do not have to run on "ultra" settings, if your PC meets only the recommended requirements. It is necessary to separate the minimum, that is low, recommended, that is, medium-high, and ultra-settings. With the latter will be able to cope with only those PCs that are assembled with the latest technology.
Changing the value may affect the quality of the hue. It is best to increase with the above value. More trees and plants will generate shadows. Increases the distance at which objects are scanned. Increasing the value can eliminate the unpleasant effect of "jumping" objects with the naked eye.
On the solutions of Gigabyte
Back to the table of contents: - A complete guide to the game. Until the end of July, play with all the additions. The task is very simple, but before you perform the next steps you need to make a backup! Find the directory "Configuration" in the folder where the game is installed.
Finally, both companies ask you not to fold Dishonored 2 during the passage. If you do this, then the performance of the game may fall, which will be corrected only by rebooting.
Perhaps nothing from the proposed developers did not help you. In this case, if you have already updated the drivers and OS, just lower the settings of the game, no matter how proud it may be for your own "top" hardware.
No GeForce GTX 1070/1080 models? Then do not even think about putting 1440p. It is still not recommended to turn off vertical synchronization, and also go beyond 50% and 70% of the "Adaptive Resolution". Finally, try turning off the anti-aliasing of TXAA and lowering the quality of the textures.

At one time, c id tech 5 even its creators did not cope - many remember, in what condition it came out Rage Five years ago. From whom, but from the techies of id Software this no one expected. The scandal was serious, and it came to that guru Carmack, along with his colleagues, were accused of all the problems of video card manufacturers - they said they did not have time to release new drivers. However, the drivers came out, removing the graphic artifacts, but Rage by that time became useless to anyone, like id tech 5 - in the industry, he remained an unclaimed engine with untreated childhood diseases.
Five years later, the high-tech rake from id for some reason went French Arkane Studios. It would seem, why choose the old, stillborn engine ... No, megatexture is not loaded in the player under the nose, graphic artifacts are also not observed ... But Void Engine (modified id Tech 5) still ashes the picture, like the original id tech 5, while presenting high requirements to the system, and gives very bad performance, even on top configurations. It is unclear what is the matter: is it Arkane Studios simply did not understand the engine, or id tech 5 began to slow down because of the modified code. However, the original id tech 5 did not differ in optimization: it was equally slowed down by Rage, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Evil Within.
To the honor of the French, we note that Dishonored 2 looked sad only at the time of release. A week later a beta patch appeared, and a few days later - official patch 1.2, which allows quite comfortable to play. Now available patch 1.3 beta, the list of "Known Issues" in which it shrank to several points - the main problems have already been corrected. What prevented the shift in the timing of a couple of weeks, quietly releasing a quality, rather than a raw product? But even now Arkane Studios early relax - performance is still sagging, the game needs optimization, you also need to poshamanit over the picture, removing the soap.
We conducted a mini-test Dishonored 2 on a pair of configurations close to the minimum and recommended. System requirements, especially those recommended, do not differ in terms of democracy and, as it seems to us, the rendered picture does not correspond to them. Yes, and why, in fact, the engine five years ago, there were such appetites?

Testing was conducted on the game with the installed patch version 1.2 and the recommended for this update graphics driver version 375.95. Various components of the game were tested: menu, intro video, training, first level and performance during the battle. In addition, we studied all six predefined graphical settings: very low, low, normal, high, very high, ultra. The testing was conducted in the most common resolution - FullHD, 1920 x 1080. The difference between the pre-installed graphics settings Dishonored 2 can be estimated from the screenshots below.
Comparative Graphics GTX 660 - Very Low
Comparative graphics GTX 1070 - Ultra
Judging by the numerous angry reviews on Steam and on various gaming forums, Dishonored 2 without patches braked even on NVidia GeForce 1070/1080 in FullHD. In general, the problems with the brakes were too random to reveal some regularity. Perhaps it's the case, as in the case of Rage, in curves, or old drivers. In some, the game produced stable 60 frames, while for others, on the same or even more powerful configuration - only 30-40.
Sooner or later, developers optimize the game for the entire PC zoo, but for now the fact remains: at first, for the game in FullHD-resolution, ultra-quality was sometimes not enough top-end iron. So, on the configuration with Core i7 6700K, 16GB RAM and GTX 1080 fresh, unpatched Dishonored 2 managed to issue places a bit more than 40 fps. Note that this configuration is much more powerful than the recommended one (it requires the GTX 1060). In general, the top configurations in FullHD resolution were given for 60 frames, but friezes and drawdowns were frequent. In the resolutions of 2560 x 1440 and 3840 x 2160 the performance is, of course, much worse. True, such a solution is not yet widespread in our country, and, judging by everything, it will for a long time remain the lot of individual enthusiasts (a 4K monitor and a top-end video card, or even two, will cost a decent amount). Therefore, we pay attention only to FullHD.
The configuration with NVidia GeForce 1070 after the second patch confidently copes with the game on any settings in the resolution of FullHD. Only in the ultra-quality counter sometimes drops to 55 frames per second, but this does not affect the gameplay. In general, there is nothing to say about the configuration with the GeForce GTX 1070 - everything works fine here and now, in version 1.2, and it will obviously work even better (for the beta patch 1.3 new performance improvements are announced). Cope with the game and the GeForce GTX 1060. In general, if your PC is suitable for the recommended system requirements, then you can play.
But with minimal system requirements, everything is much worse. If the recommended requirements were not true only in version 1.0, then the minimum is far from reality (and from the people) and in version 1.2. In FullHD play uncomfortable on any settings, down to the lowest. On the pre-set schedule, very-low during the first level, FPS often drops to 16-20 (at an average of 33), which is clearly unplayable. In combat, strangely enough, the performance is slightly better - only occasionally the counter falls below the norm at 30 frames per second ((at an average of 35)). On higher-quality settings, performance is, of course, even lower.
Comparative graphics GTX 660 and GTX 1070
Thus, the minimum system requirements claimed by Arkane Studios / Bethesda Softworks are currently underestimated. On such a configuration it is very uncomfortable to play due to extremely low performance and FPS drawdowns. Of course, you can change FullHD to 1366 x 768, but the soap picture, and even in low resolution - the spectacle is not for the faint-hearted. In general, it's silly to do it in 2016. We must wait for patches and hope that everything will be fixed.
Conclusion
In fact, before us is the same Dishonored - a short, cramped and unpretentious stealth-action with an interesting setting and a decent storyline. Solar Carnac replaced the gloomy Daunall, wiser AI, polished mechanic ... On the other hand, the story has become simpler and somehow trivial, and in technical terms the game is, to put it mildly, far from perfect. The enthusiasm of the foreign press is unclear: entirely 5/5, 10/10, the game of the year, a masterpiece, a revelation ... How to combine laudatory epithets with a user rating of 68% on Steam is not entirely clear. In the end, all this we already saw four years ago.
Our verdict - you can take in the future on a sale at a discount of interest of 70-75%, and even then after the technical side of the game will lead to a decent appearance. We think the sale is just around the corner, as recently on Dishonored 2 there was already a 33% discount, and this is from Bethesda, three weeks after the game was released! At this point, those who preordered, a little offended. Still would! Patient and conservative players got more or less playable Dishonored 2 version 1.2, also at a discount, and impatient pioneers who supported the publisher 2000 rubles ($ 59.99 in the case of US residents) took the role of testers. In general, an ugly situation, increasingly taking place in modern geymdev.
So it's better to wait than buying a game for 2000 rubles, to study manuals for disabling blu and fine-tuning graphics, picking files in configuration files (id Tech engines are welcome), betting drivers and beta patches and doing similar nonsense, instead of , just to enjoy the bought "game of the year." However, if your computer is not the first freshness, is close to minimum system requirements or even slightly exceeds them (let's say you do not have GTX 660, but GTX 670), then you just have to wait. Or even ignore Dishonored 2 - the choice is yours.
