Deus Ex Mankind Divided

Headshot

Just playing this at the moment, it looks a beautiful game but unfortunately for and others who have a SLI system, its pretty ****ed with poor FPS

2x 980 Ti
i7-4790K overclocked to 4.4
16GB Ram
Windows 10
Res: 3440 x 1440 @ 100Hz

Tempted just to wait till they patch the game or Nvidia fix their drivers

dreamers75

Ultra 60 fps with 290x2 MSAA off 1080 running perfectly.

Standing just outside Jensens apartment at the start, staring at a corner, I'm getting 38 fps on 2x GTX 1080s....

chrislad

Ah, it wouldn't be a AAA release without a ton of performance issues, and a series of Mixed reviews on Steam!

degrassinoel

runs great on my three year old gtx 780 xD

the only problems i had was checking the stash in Jensen's apartment, it froze - though i could access the menu to reload - and the transition from one area to another (although the trainride was a good idea) it felt like i was on the dart going from bray to shankill - in terms of time, rather than beautiful scenery.

Stuttered a bit when i got to a new location but that was it. Other than those pretty small irks it runs great and it looks a heap better than human revolution did.


I've even gotten used to Jensen's batman voice - thanks in part to watching the expanse and a few interviews with the actor himself - that's his normal voice! Can ye believe that? haha!

what resolution! 4k? :eek:
It can't be making much use of the second 1080 there.

I haven't had a chance to play it yet but will be doing so with a single GTX 1080 @ 1440p

Human Revolution was the same really, it definitely favoured AMD cards as well, hopefully patches/driver improvements will squeeze more out of it.

I have:
Slightly older i7.
16GB RAM.
SSD.
Geforce 1070.
144hz monitor on 1920x1080.
Everything set to Ultra with VSync off.

And I get 60-100 fps everywhere. Hurray!

The good news is that those of you with poor performance will probably get patched soon enough.

Unfortunately I am one of those people getting outrageously bad mouse behaviour. Insanely fast in-game, insanely slow in menus. I jury rigged a solution where I bound two keys on my mouse to change to high and low sensitivity profiles, and I change between them every time a menu comes up (which includes augs, hacking, inventory, etc). It works, but it's obscenely irritating. Not sure I can keep playing until it's fixed.

Mouse acceleration is used in this game

Its just bonkers why devs use it and there's no option to disable it in the game menu.

Zillah

This is waaay beyond mouse acceleration, though. The mouse is literally about twenty times faster in-game than in menus. There is nothing within a million miles of a happy compromise.

In 2560x1440, nothing outrageous. Maybe the Dx12 patch will help in a few weeks, or that some fixes can appear quickly.

I want to dive into this one and give you all report on how the r9 290 handles it, but my gaming calendar is full up.

The_Valeyard

I played half way through the Dubai mission.
Plays fine.


Got bored, much more into planet coaster update. Will go back to this later


Playing with a 980ti, no problems and steady frame.

Interesting new patch out of it now 77mb in size

(24-08-2016) PC Patch notes for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Patch build 524.7
We have just released the first PC patch for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, v1.0 build 524.7. This patch focusses on critical issues users ran into immediately following release.

This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client or manually look for updates in the Windows Store.

The following fixes are in this patch:
• Fixed crashes caused by third-party programs interfering with the game.
• Fixed crash that occurred after viewing the intro videos.
• Fixed issue that could cause a crash at the end of the Prague intro scene.
• Fixed mouse invert setting not being displayed correctly in the options menu.

Note about performance
We are seeing people reporting performance issues when playing the game on Very High/Ultra settings with MSAA set to 2x, 4x, or 8x. We would like to emphasize again that these options are very demanding.
We recommend everyone that is running at recommended spec or higher to start with the High Preset and MSAA turned off, and then tweak the options to optimize your experience.


While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version we have made a Beta available on Steam, v1.0_build 524.6, that can be used to switch back to the previous version.

We will keep monitoring for feedback and will release further patches as it seems required. We always welcome your feedback!

Started this last night and enjoying it so far. Do people recommend using a controller or M/K? Tried using a M/K initially but the sensitivity was crazy and couldn't reduce it down enough to make it playable. Any trick to doing this?

I've seen a comment that dropping the mouse sensitivity to 0 will disable the acceleration, though I haven't tried it myself yet.

I really hope this has fixed my issue, but it really does not sound relevant. Who gives a toss about x/y inversion?

I'm using the R9 290 and I've had two crashes so far and only played the game for 30 minutes. Not looking good.

Spear

Well, I've made a most curious discovery related to the performance issues I saw. After some issues with what I believed was a recent BIOS update, I had reverted to an older one that worked fine previously. It seems this prompted the (older) BIOS to reckon my primary GTX 1080 should only have 4 PCI-E lanes, not the usual 16. Updated the BIOS, and it's back to 16 lanes, and the performance has doubled, now at 100 FPS in outdoor areas. So this game is very sensitive to PCI-E bandwidth it appears.

Azza

Enjoying it so far. Just taking my time wandering around Prague taking in the sites.

Playing with an i5 3570 @ 4.2Ghz and an overclocked GTX 970 I'm finding it running pretty well.

Have set everything to high or on in the options tabbed and turned on all graphically features bar MSAA and getting a pretty constant 60FPS in game at 1080p. Encountered a drop to the low 40's during the train station arrival scene but since there was no game play it didn't matter. Also got a drop leaving the subway into the second part of Prague, but once away from the entrance I was getting a constant 60FPS again.

I know I'm two settings down from the highest settings but the game still looks good. Have played about 5 hours and no crashes yet. Did get a freeze when checking the locker in Jensen's apartment though which required me to kill it via task manager but after that its been smooth sailing.

So the pre order DLC is consumable per save. Lost upon use. Somehow they managed to make pre order DLC even worse.

Day 1 DLC ?

Reading the steam reviews. Really, you can only use it once?

Edit - found this: "At launch, DLC could only be redeemed once, to one save file. This means if you started a new game, you couldn't use it again. This included the preorder DLC. Say you did a pacifist run, and then wanted to start a genocide run. Remember that DLC you got? Cant redeem it on the new save file."

humanji

It's running smoothly for me, but it's missing items in the environment like boxes and crates and stuff like that. So there's loads of debris just floating in the air.

That's just plain stupid and wrong. No doubt they will bring out perma packs later....for a price.

Robert ninja

I actually wanted to get this it seems pretty good but the DLC and Denuvo has made me skip it. Another one bites the dust -_- I'll just get the witcher 3 expansion and replay Alpha Protocol.

Ah you got the telekinetic DLC. Heard its great.

Prague is a delightful treat for exploring, i've played 20 hours and only now only starting the actual next mission because I've been exploring all of Prague's nooks and crannies, there is so much more to unravel in this city hub compared to the previous games.

I did however, miss out on some things due to exploring too much. I never got a chance to talk to Otar for the neuroplasticity thing because I ended up exploring the sewers and and stealing it without knowing it was going to be a plot point with interactions.

In terms of performance, everything on Ultra at 1440P for me with MSAA off,shadows on High and Volumetric Lighting to "On" and I get constant 60FPS with a I7-4790k & GTX 980TI. It only drops FPS during conversation scenes.

Yeah I stumbled into some restricted area, got attacked, and before I knew it I was annihilating an

underground casino full of gangsters, and then I found the plasticity-majiger in a safe.

Koller told me to wait so I hope I haven't wasted it.

Spear

Slight spoiler about the plasticity thing:

There's an achievement for obtaining it before you get the quest to do so, so I don't believe you'll miss out on anything.

Headshot

Im thinking of asking for a refund off steam. Just tired of SLI issues, runs terrible on it

Shiminay

Is that not the case for about 3/4 of new AAA releases though? I had Crossfire for ages, never again. It never worked on a new game and by the time it ever got fixed, I'd usually lost interest.

We have just released another PC patch for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, v1.2 build 524.15. This patch focusses on critical issues that were reported by users during the week after release.

This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

The following fixes are in this patch:
• Fixed a crash during the subway loading scene.
• Fixed issue with loading a saved game while in cover and pressing [SPACE], causing Jensen to vault over cover.
• Fixed crash when leaving for Golem City.
• Fixed issues where the UI was offset at some aspect ratios, such as 21:9.
• Fixed issue where vibration was not working on gamepad.
• Fixed an issue where some keyboard language settings could cause the game to not launch (some users had a workaround by creating a new user account or by changing their keyboard language setting).
• Fixed various issues related to Breach.
• Fixed issues related to Tobii EyeTracking.

Note about performance:

Patch out.


People where saving the game whilst hiding? Wouldnt have been a nice anti save scum feature if they left it in.
