Support NeoGAF

EDIT: FUCK, I meant "PC Performance thread", can a mod edit it?

I'm on the fence of whether to get this on PC on Switch, and I have barely read any impressions on the PC version, only a few reviews on Steam that are negative. (bad port etc)

What I want to know, is how are the loading times on non-Nintendo platforms...

OP may want to add this:

Had problems with options failing to apply. To work around this I manually edited files located @C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO City Undercover. "pcconfig.txt" had more settings then available in-game, not sure if they all function but it's worth playing around. No problems with performance, frame rate above 60fps@1080p (150fps+ 970/3770k). 4k and high refresh rate monitors are supported. Inital load times were a bit slow, thankfully missions are based mostly in open world, very few load screens once started.

I ended up getting the game. I'm getting around 190 FPS in starting area on my setup at 1440p:

i7 6700K 4.5 GHz
GTX 1070
16 GB RAM

Yes really, 190 FPS

The initial loading takes 16 seconds from my SSD.

And yes, the game gets a black screen when changing resolutions. However, the game keeps running. So I just moved my cursor with the dpad blindly to select "yes" to the usual question of "do you want to keep the resolution?" Then, also blindy, I moved the cursor all the way down to select the "quit to windows" option. Then I restarted the game and voila, the 1440p setting saved and it works fine.

Whoops, forgot the update the thread title. Bumping.

As I mentioned in the Switch thread:

- main menu graphics options don't work; defaulted on my system to 720p, no V sync, high defaults
- you have to go in game to change them - when you do, the screen will go black and you need to quit the game then restart - it will then have updated to your preferences
- Alt-Tab crashes the game (I couldn't then get to Task Manager and had to log out of Windows entirely)

I can't tell you a thing about frame rates or ambient occlusion or whatever; once I did all this the game worked fine at 1080p (I don't have a ninja TV). It looks... like a Lego game... I mean, it's not exactly something where I'd be worrying much about performance or graphical awesomeness.

Is downsampling possible at all? I tried with Gedosato for downsampling and borderless windowed and couldn't get it to work, not sure if that was the game not working with it or me not configuring it properly.

DSR works. VSR, too, I presume.

Goddamn. Straight fire.

Sounds like 4K/60fps should be pretty easy on this.

After being overwhelmed with the interest of the PC port of this game, I'll post my experience so far:
- If uncapped, the game runs at crazy framerates, if I had a 144 Hz monitor I could run this game at constant 144 FPS with my 1070 at 1440p
- I play with vsync, there is zero stuttering etc. Also true with splitscreen mode
- The game is supposed to work with non-xbox controllers but won't let me map my Switch Pro Controller properly. There is one action that I just can't map, I press A to map it and I hear a error sound. Only happens with that specific action, but since I can't map all buttons, the game just won't let me use the controller. Super weird.. Ended up using xbox one controller + 360 controller for splitscreen
- I saw some weird artefacts in character's faces in the cutscene when first reaching the police station but I haven't seen those since.
- You can't alt tab, they are supposedly going to fix it
- The changing resolution thing is annoying but you just have to be mentally prepared to confirm the change blindly and then restart the game, it's an one-time thing. Still sucks and needs to be fixed
- Load times are somewhat quick from SSD, not sure about HDD

Wasnt it originally a wii game? Or was it wiiu? the high framerates are expected

Its the first wiiU game ever announced

 

[Chessr]

A Wii u game.

The game got a patch. Both the resolution and the alt-tab issues have been fixed, so the biggest issues with the port don't exist anymore

I couldn't skip the intro "ads" yesterday, is that fixed now?

That's a feature rather than a bug. Much like Max Payne 3's unskippable cutscenes that insist the game is still loading.
