Damn, my Amazon rep basically told me too bad it'll be there soon.

Dang she told you that? I just called and mine said that my order was part of a batch that the system put on hold because of a price glitch.

So I basically have to order it again because of that price glitch. It sucks.

Amazon's support is so hit or miss. I just chatted with a rep who assured me that it would arrive today even though it has not been shipped yet. I can't wait to see how they pull off that magic trick :)
My order was double discounted from a glitch that occurred in March, so seems to match what is going on.
Exactly.
It's really random & their response depends on how nice & understanding the supervisor you're talking to is.
Sent an email before I saw this. Amazon also upgraded my shipping free of charge. I was already getting a deal so I'm good with the outcome.
Glad they gave you fast shipping for free at least.

Checked Amazon for an update on my copy of Crash

Amazon: Arriving Today by 8PM ET

Details: yet to ship

Why is it so difficult to get release day deliveries anymore? Both Best Buy and Amazon routinely fail me more often than not. It's not even going to be a day late but several days it looks like.

Curious to try this on PC, when I get home this weekend. I know the framerate caps at 60, but is it still capped with Vsync off?

i am playing the new level, and there is a platform that need a colored gem, but i already have them all, 105%
also the input lag is very annoying after the update, i am playing on PS4.

Aside from starting in a window, the PC version is glorious. At least based on the first few levels of Crash 1. I have a locked 60fps with Ultra preset, everything turned on, at 1080p on my i7-6700k/GTX 980Ti/16GB RAM. There are a few objects that don't run at 60fps, like the spinning box when you bring up the inventory by hitting Y in a level and even running from an SSD loading takes some seconds, but this still seems like a massive upgrade over the PS4 version. 60fps really is a night and day difference.

EDIT: There's a very slight transition stutter on The Great Gate when moving past the spikes and getting to the two sloaping platforms.

I'm having a small issue with the PC version.

On my nvidia 1070 the FPS will not go above 50 and my cards core clock will not rise above 1063mhz :-( This is with latest drivers and with rolling back. The game is still playable, maybe a driver will fix it or a patch soon.

Looks amazing on PC. I'm having an issue though where the only FPS i can choose is 48fps or 36 from the menu. anyone else have this problem?

Have there been any hard counts for resolution playing on the 1X? I don't know how literal "Fur-K" is, lol

Nevermind, I can choose 60 (and weird fps options like 40) when I restart. It's not saving my windowed/fullscreen preference when i restart though
EDIT: and when I change anything my fps options change back to 36fps/48 wtf

Maaaan, this is fucking buttery smooth. Playing Crash on PC is so bizarre.

Also this new DLC level is pretty great?

I'm on a 144hz 1440p Gsync monitor. Only options are also 48fps or 36fps. It says in the tooltip that the Vsync option overrides this, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Jesus Christ, PC version runs and plays like a dream. KB&M controls are just perfect for me. Only thing is that I have to lower shadows from Ultra to High to achieve smooth-silky 60 FPS at 4K because I had some small hiccups to 52-54 FPS in certain areas with high presence of shadows. My GPU is a GTX 1070 if someone is interested.

Lmao same! I used Amazon chat and the customer rep said don't worry it'll come today.

Side note: People who have Amazon shipping problems, did you order the "glitched priced" version that was double discounted?

Sorry if it's been answered already but do we know if they added a "retry" option to levels in Crash 1 instead of completely exiting them if you want to play them again?

Im talking about regular play, no Time Trials. I know it's an option in that mode.
That would break the lives system so why would they want that?

How would it break the lives system? Currently, you need to exit the stage, load the map select, jump back into the stage and attempt the colored gem run again. A restart option would cut that middle part out and simply place you at the start. Restart wouldn't place you at the last checkpoint, but the start of the stage.

Yep, exactly the same issue here

Like PeakPoint already mentioned, it wouldn't break anything. It's just so you don't go back and forth between map/level every time you fail to get an specific task done (in this case, getting gems/breaking crates without dying) which totally killed the pace of the game with the constant loading screens.


Edit: 99humanity answered my question.
Ugh, fucking dammit...

Na normal price. I had a £12 credit they gave me due to messing up my blaze blue pre order. Just got a refund, the £12 credit back and another £5 credit added to my account due them ballsing up my crash order.

I just don't understand why amazon are so bad with switch software.

I don't get it. Did they not test any of their graphics settings? Hell, playing in borderless windowed locks the game at 15fps.

Downloaded this last night. I'll try it this weekend, but any tips before I get started? The only previous playtime with Crash was the one level that appeared in Uncharted 4, lol. I thought that was fun and it actually made me pull the trigger on this collection for Switch. :-3

I only played Time Warped back in the day, Crash 1 is making me want to throw my controller at times, I didn't know it was this hard lol.

I also had an issue where the game launched at max resolution (I guess whatever my highest Nvidia DSR res is) in windowed mode, and I had to kind of blindly go through the options to reset it

Conkerkid11 i'm able to get 60 as an option if I disable vsync in the nvidia control panel for Crash. Not really ideal though

We need a performance thread, some people are having issues with fps and refresh rate cap. I haven't started it yet, does anyone know if 144hz gsync mode is running fine?

Someone is reporting on the Steam forums that the game offers 48fps, but if you disable the in game vsync the frame rate is actually unlocked.

With the motion blur removed (it looks worse now), have they removed Antialiasing too on PS4? It looks jarring as hell, I don't remember that was like that before.

BTW the new level is cheap as hell and it show all the issues of the game, I forgot how unresponsive are controls and total ass the hitbox



You can even hear the bounce sound but nope, he didn't die... and the enemies with the spikes? Lol, they are the worst in this sense, the hitbox are all over the place.

After one hour I got both the new gems and I avoided the Relic, I've already spent too much time on this game XD

a place beyond seeing...
I'm in the same boat as a few of you, got the price error on the Switch version on Amazon in March, and now it still says release date delivery but not yet shipped...I contacted support via web chat, and the rep assured me the game will still arrive today. I made sure to save the chat transcript, and if it doesn't come tonight, I'm definitely going to contact support and use that evidence to try to get some hefty credits. Cancelling an order with a price error is one thing, but giving me the run-around for 100+ days up until release just limits my options.

Thanks, this seems to be working fine. Menu shows 48fps but Nvidia FPS counter showing unlocked around 144-145fps.
How are you even using the Nvidia FPS counter? I tried getting that to work, but it only worked in borderless windowed games, not fullscreen games. If I try to play Crash in anything but fullscreen, it caps out at 15fps.

Also, absolutely no combination of settings uncaps the game from 48fps for me. No matter what I do, Steam overlay's FPS counter says I'm playing at 48fps.
