| Game_God said: Your internet life sucks bro, I feel bad for you... Here in Europe I pay 40€ for illimited internet, fiber-optic 100Mbit/s of download, 25Mbits/s upload! Here I found Far Cry 4 for PC @ 29,99€ http://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-far-cry-4-cd-key-compare-prices/ while the PS4 version costs 55,83€ http://jeux-video.fnac.com/a7431512/Far-Cry-4-PS4-Jeu-PlayStation-4 So my point remains, playing on-line on PC is free, not on PS4 & X1, & games are cheaper on PC, after 6 years of gaming, buying only 4 games a year you keep 800€ in your pocket by choosing PC over console, belive me a 800€ rig blows out of the water any console performance wise! |
I can find Far Cry 4 for ps4 cheaper too already, 2nd hand though. Although what I usually do with games I won't get back to, is trade it in for a bit over half price. $30 is fine with me for playing it day 1. This year I spend $1250 on 48 games, average of $26 a game. I could have gotten that average down a lot by buying more in Steam sales and humble bundles. I wouldn't have time to play them nor bandwidth to download them though. I'm already way behind on my game catalog, next to the ps+ 'freebies'
Anyway I feel very noobish atm. I was playing Spintires the past few days on my laptop in 900p, medium quality, no AA, still ran avg 25fps. I thought the game was badly unoptimized, then I started Elite dangerous and it said graphics adaptor: Intel HD 4600... So went into NVidia control panel and set it to prefer the GT 740M instead of auto select. Now Spintires runs in 1080p, max settings, butter smooth.
However Elite dangerous is still only giving the option for Intel HD graphics 4600 and deafults to medium low quality settings. At least it acknowledges my DS4 (gonna be a while setting that up, so many options) which Spintires does not. PC gaming, always an adventure :)
Edit: found a workaround that seems to help my case. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=76670&page=4
Change Adaptor to 1 in AppDataLocalFrontier_DevelopmentsProductsFORC-FDEV-D-1001003AppConfig.xml
The game still stutters really bad now and then, but is smooth in between. It seems to have already forgotten the few controls I set up for testing. Right stick up goes left now, hold it to the left to accelerate, ugh. I'm gonna do some relaxing console gaming now, actually playing a game. I'll configure all the controls another time.
Also for anyone else playing Spintires, don't forget to make backups of your saves in AppDataRoamingSpinTiresUserSaves as otherwise you will lose all progress when the game crashes.
