Microstuttering and other issues, here's my experience

[Max (INFINITE)]

Here's my personal experience with the game so far (specs : i5 3570k, 460 GTX, 8 GB Ram) :

1.The game has micro stuttering issues if you play with a keyboard + mouse, not smooth. If you play with a controller you will get a smooth experience [Has been fixed]

2. The FOV seems very low

3. There is no antialiasing, there are tons of jaggies so you will have to force that from the drivers

4. It has incredible screen tearing, even with it's own v-sync on. To get rid of the screen tearing use Adaptive Vsync in your drivers

5. The developer said that we would be able to remove the black borders with a screen adjustment option before launch, but when the game released there's no such thing ( http://steamcommunity.com/app/204450/discussions/0/810924774491150812/#c810924774499446785 )

The one that bothers me the most is the fact that the game is rather unplayable with a keyboard + mouse because of the microstutters, so I am forced to play with a controller

Some of the issues are well documented under Dead Island, please look here for further reference : http://steamcommunity.com/app/204450/discussions/0/810925398533234771/#c810925398533277816

EDIT : You can clearly see the microstuttering in this video, for anyone curious : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnDV9lBAmq4

LATER EDIT : The stuttering issue HAS BEEN FIXED today in a patch!

Actually no, those issues come from Dead Island apparently and the way their engine is designed. Please inform yourself before making such comments

well iv got the same problems and i aint got no ♥♥♥♥♥ arse pc

[XS7UX]

Mine runs poor on my GTX680, maybe ill try with the controller then.

[Sweet C]

So, the same problem that Bound in Blood has, OP?

[Ascende Superius]

Don't listen to him fellas, it's pure awesome, the only problem I have is occasional sound static. Nothing game breaking.

[One-HiT KiLLeR]

Runs good on my GTX460, everything on High, shadows on Medium.

[Dungeoncrawler69]

These type of games seem to work better with a controller imo.

[Pokeadot]

Neither of you are 100% accurate.

The FOV is indeed lowish and there is a bit of microstutter
I have had NO screen tear with in-game Vsync options.
No in game AA is accurate

Finally, game is perfectly playable with kb/m. The microstutter is very micro and has no effect on gameplay.

If this is true, i'm glad I didn't pre-purchase this - had the same issue in Dead Island and it is beyond irritating. :(

[BabyZolaJesus]

Looks like utter ♥♥♥♥. Glad i didn't pre-purchase this

[Ascende Superius]

I have both mouse and keyboard and controller (connected at the same time) and there is nothing like micro stutter. Trust me.

I'm not "slagging off" anything, just simply posting my personal experience and after reading that the issues are coming from the engine since Dead Island, well I think I am not alone. I was looking forward to this game, instead now I have to play with a controller to not get microstuttering

Without your PC specs this means nothing
