No Border-less Full-screen Mode [edit: fixed]
Fix:
Darktalon said:
Set it to fullscreen, if it still isn't exclusive try pressing alt+enter. If you ever alt-tab, when you go back in, it remains in borderless windowed mode, you have to press alt+enter again.

The game does have exclusive fullscreen. Press alt+enter if you don't, or turn off windows game mode.

Alt-tab in Full-screen Mode [edit: fixed]
Starviper said:
Does anyone know of a hotfix for Borderless Fullscreen mode? Seems like it works for some people, for me if I try and alt-tab the game basically breaks and I have to open Task Manager on a separate virtual desktop to kill it.

Hitching and longer loading times
Fix:
koutoru said:
Apparently there's a large Steam API overhead that causes long load times and excessive hitching with heavy texture streaming.

Kaldaien put a Special K fix for it on the Steam forums if anyone wants to try it

Ansel color bug [edit: fixed]
Fix:
langgi said:
Also for everyone with Ansel color problem, Prompto camera filters bleed into Ansel.
To fix, take shot with Prompto cam using NO FILTER, then quit, and bring up Ansel, it'll be correct again.
When Prompto AI taking shot, Ansel color will be weird again. Do the steps again. Remember you must take shot, simply choosing no filter and quit cam menu won't correct Ansel.

Dramatic FPS drop after summoning [edit: fixed]
Fix:
texhnolyze said:
Also, someone from the Steam forums found out a workaround for summons:
A) Save game → Leave FF15 → Relaunch and load

B) Saving the game and remaining in the Pause Menu for about 10 seconds solved it for me without leaving the game.

Constant crashing (memory leak?)
Potential fix:
PHOENIXZERO said:
Soooo I disabled the Steam Overlay and had the game running for hours this time, no super long fights but with TRAM on high did almost full up my 8GB VRAM a few times the game never crashed like it had been. I didn't see system memory go up significantly either.

Pixelated FMV cutscenes
Fix:
Xharos said:
PSA: If you have ANY scaling factor set on Windows other than 100% go to the properties of the game's exe -> compatibility and disable scaling for the game. This fixes the pixelated FMV cutscenes.

I've been waiting for this!

EDIT:

My specs are

8700K 4.8Ghz
4266Mhz 16GB DDR4 G.SKILL RGB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce Titan X

I'll report back with performance tests when I'm out of school.

Game is taking forever to decrypt on a SSD, more or less 1/3 in 15 minutes.

Time to start saving up for that $500 2tb SSD.
Hard drive speeds become very apparent with this huge decryption process.

What's the point of preloading when the decrypting process is taking just as long as the download took me! Ugh

Yup. What are the reasons for doing that instead of full screen?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Some games, for arbitrary reasons, run better windowed. What Cerbero's mentioning is a solution to run the game in a window that covers your entire screen, so you get the performance gains of it being windowed while your entire screen is used.

What does borderless mean?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Borderless Window, borderless fullscreen or just borderless is effectively just the game/app/programm running in a window (the thing with the X button in the upper right corner) but with the borders expanded to cover everything. The game looks like running in full screen that way.
In true Fullscreen mode windows dedicates more resources to the fullscreen app though and the application has full control of the screen output (fps are sometimes a bit higher because of this), while windows has control in the borderless window mode. People use that mode to sometimes force vsync on games or to be able to switch fast in between programs (because it's instant that way, while switching from true fullscreen to windows can take a second or two). It's also nice on multi display setups.

So, does the full game run like the demo or like the benchmark? The benchmark was awful on my PC but the demo was perfectly smooth with the odd streaming stutter when panning around and getting detailed stuff to load back in view.

So THATS what it's gonna be doing when I get home (and what it did with the KC:D pre load.). I thought it was basically instantly available when release happened. Not looking forward to this on my ancient spinning drive...

Looking forward to seeing how it runs on the 6600K and/or 980ti. The demo was good for me with stuttering drops here and there for some reason.

I cant see the Rivatuner message on the first post. Is rivatuner fucked up now? Am i to not set the fps to 60 to avoid inconsistent frametimes with Rivatuner? Is Rivatuner's reign over?

One reason I don't preload on steam anymore is that decrypting takes longer than downloading a lot of times.

yea exactly, I have either a 250mbit or 1gbit connection (depending at home or work), and last time I tested two 50gb games it literally took around the same time to download the whole game versus the Steam decrypting

I mean is there any fucking advantage at all to preloading? that makes no sense and seems pointless

Plus doesn't it save strain on your HD to not do the decrypting process?

Not everyone has your crazy downloading speeds folks so preloading helps with that I suppose. I mean, if you have a download speed that means you can play within the hour of launch or something you don't need to preload, for sure :o)

It will take me around 10-12 hours to download the game, I wish I had preloaded and made use of the intended use of that function to be ready for launch alongside you all folks :o)

If you have unlimited data cap with high speeds you might try but I don't think so that you'll see 63 GB worth of difference.

30 minutes to decrypt.... I think my download speed would have been slower maybe. Still have to nab the texture pack. Hopefully VXAO is working.

Okay, so they fixed the 5.1 issue, but I'm reading they accidentally added the bug to Xbox One with the latest patch. Is this the same on PS4?

Ok, maybe not 63 GB of textures only, but they make a huge difference imo. At least in comparison to what we had on PS4P.

Two screenshots I made for the demo thread:

1. PC, no nvidida stuff


2. PS4Pro, high resolution mode
