This is so funny because it’s the opposite recommendation I’ve seen basically everywhere else. All other notes I’ve seen have recommended Vulcan for newer hardware. I’ve been running vulkan as well and have had no issues at all. 6800xt here.

Wut, i have a 3080 and a i5 10600k. I get stable 100 fps without dlss on and everything else cranked up to max on 2k res. Why have dlss on at that point? If you run 4k i'll understand.

It's Kings like you that really make the world better. I will use your code to launch straight to the game.

I have found I have no game crashes with DX11 where I have had 3 with Vulkan and a computer blue screen on Vulcan. I am running on a 3080ti.

I tried both and there is one particular late game fight with lots of NPCs that just murders my setup (5700X3D and 1070 Ti) on DX11 (30-60 fps) while the fight ran fine on Vulkan (60-70 fps) . Since it's quite late into the game, the reviewer probably didn't come across this issue. Or my setup is just weird.

I got to baldur's Gates but I said huge stuttering issues. I've got a 3080 TI and no problems anywhere else in the game. I switch from direct x11 to Vulcan and had no more issues.

Agreed on the tuning needed, but I'm surprised to hear how many have had crashes. I haven't had a single crash in like 50 hours of playing and another 50hours with it idling while I take breaks.

Crazy, haven't experienced anything like that. Do you meet the minimum specs, and are you running it on an HDD or an SSD?

I walked through a cracked stone wall when I tried to attack it.

AAA Executive 1: What could they have done to be so successful?! No fun micro transactions? No wacky costume packs? What was it?

AAA Executive 2: My second wife's kid said something about a bear owl and cat playing tag was his favorite part.

AAA Executive 1: That's it! Lets start pumping out bear cat tag DLCs and events for all our games!

Folks aren't ready to accept it but it's true. I'm loving the game, I really am, and I even recommend it, but it really needs more polish. I guess the bar really is just that low for people. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills seeing everyone saying it's perfect. A game can be great but still need polish.

Yeah I'm kind of baffled that I keep hearing about how polished it is - don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game and my wife and I have been playing practically every night - but I don't think a single night has passed yet where we haven't run into a fairly major bug, and usually a whole shit load of minor ones

Just last night I went to withers to change my class, when halfway through the dialogue, Li'zael popped up with some random, unprompted dialogue, canceling my class change without refunding my 100g

Definitely buggy as shit, have had several issues straight halt progress, not to mention tons of hiccups with stuff like starting conversation. I'm having a blast and love this game, but it is still in EA as far as I'm concerned

I've never done any dnd but I did do some turn based games like xcom and civ so take it for what it's worth. Me and my group are having a grand old time. It started off a little bit rough for me as a wizard and not really understanding how the math behind combat works but there is an in-game combat log that you can hover over that shows all your bonuses, what targets you need to hit, and what you rolled (typically, it will do the DnD dice rolls in the background for you). But not so rough that it wasn't fun, just rough enough that I got really engaged in learning the system and mastering it. The really nice thing is that you can respec your character so if you are the type to get paralyzed by character creation, dont worry! use the recommended stats and as you naturally learn more about the game you can change them to better fit your style. I liked it enough that I started a solo run for when the group cant get together. I'd say if you are really interested in the story then solo is the best bet.
