Where?
During gameplay. Last night I played for an hour before it happened. Today 5 minutes in. Sometimes during battle, sometimes on the map.

Yeah, I can no longer even start the game, it just hangs on the splash screen.
I've tried re-installing GeDoSaTo, upding, running the game without GeDoSaTo, and I can't even get it. It just hangs, and I'm forced to log out to even close down the thing. I'm at loathe to delete and re-download that behemoth, I wonder if something was corrupted on my end? (perhaps due to my anti-virus being overzealous).

Did you update GeDo, and re-enter your settings?

Cause rocks are hard.
Same here.
Yeah. All up to date, settings fixed like you showed me.
Seems to be happening mostly after battles now.
No, you broke it. "Rocks are hard" is a more entertaining reference in the graphical/production context, and it works better as a joke in its own right.
hmm...in hindsight, you are quite correct
Just run the program, edit settings and choose the ffxiii profile (config\ffxiiiimg\GeDoSaTo.ini) at the bottom and you can change the resolution there, default is 4k I think, other settings are explained in the config.
Guru3d also has a guide on it if you want more details:

The point of downsampling is rendering it at 4k, but then showing it in 1080p
It gives a much clearer image.

Ooof I'm still confused. I set the values in the .ini both to 1080p, should I have let one of them a higher value?
Yeah. The renderResolution defines the resolution you want to downsample from.
That's used to set the resolution you want to downsample to. It's in the main configuration and by default will downsample to your main monitor resolution.
Only the resolution in the FF13 ini counts, it overwrites whatever is in the main ini.
If you go beyond your screen resolution, for example double it (3840x2180@60) that is the best kind of AA you can get, because not only edges, but EVERYTHING becomes smoother and clearer. Of course that is quite a hit on performance.

also depends on your CPU

Since I'm also using a single 970, I went with these settings for my first attempt. Runs at 60 fps except from transitions into and out of fight sequences. Seems to stutter pretty bad at those points, all the way down to below 30 fps.
My setup is:
3570K@4.4
Gigabyte G1 970 (stock)
Samsung RAM 8GB
Playing on an Asus VG248QE 1080/144hz monitor.

Enjoying this game so far, but man look at that arm and hand. Totally kill the mood for me.
Yeah...seriously. HL1, 1998 with the HD Texture pack looked about that same level of hands.

So I finally figured out what was breaking my vsync... it was Radeon Pro itself (which is what was causing the issues and graphic glitches AND most of the slowdown).
So now I can play the game in full 4k downsample, but still suffering with the same slow downs as everyone else. I've decided to just disable my FPS counter and enjoy it was a Super HD port and that coupled with FF13-2 teaching me the god damn terms/premiss of the game, I feel like I can finally actually enjoy 13 for what it is.
Obligatory downscaled screen shots.
Finally my favorite, a perfectly captured "WTF Lightning?" face.

Ok i need help getting this to work.
Downloaded latest GeDoSato. Latest FFXIII via steam.
Game starts in bordered 1280x1024. Looks AA:d but hard to tell?
renderResolution 3840x2160@60 in ffxiiimg.ini
Tried to set this in GeDoSaTo.ini..
presentWidth 1920
presentHeight 1080
presentHz 60
Still 1280x1024 bordered..
Am i missing the part where i hook the software to the actual game .exe?
gtx 970, latest drivers.

Thanks for you reply, I have a i7 3770k (4GHZ)
Not much you can do then. Just hope for a patch to fix the weird FPS drops. Some areas play just fine at 60 and some places I get closer to 30FPS. And I have i7 4770K@4.2GHz and a 970, downsampling from 4K.

What specifically about radeonpro was breaking your vsync and affecting performance? I'm curious because I recently set my downsample res down to 1920x1080 and I've occasionally had the game lock itself to 15fps which really confused me.

So today after playing the game for about 10 hours, I noticed a lot of shadow flickerings so I went and increased the shadow map in gedosato to 2.
Now the game looks even better and there is much less slowdown than before.
Thank you Durante.
Use RTSS's frame limiter.

It running at all was causing it on my system. I had been using it to force AAx16, but I just forced it in drivers instead.

Is imgur adding all those compression artifacts?
Yes, Imgur is the pits wherever image quality is concerned.
MrTeachwell
Member
hmm thanks, I guess it's time for some further testing
I'm just taking my screenshots with steam, and them uploading them to my cloud. Then I link them directly from there.
The compressed steam shots are just as bad as imgur.

Yeah. Pretty much. That's if you don't already have MSI Afterburner that is.
Which, you should. Since it's far better than FRAPs and shows you more than just a framerate counter. And can take screenshots in the format and compression level of your choice
So I downloaded afterburner. Does it just show up automatically in game if opened like fraps?
downsampling up the wazoo.
IIRC the HUD is why it's inconsistent.
