Im actually sad i decided to download the patch BEFORE reading the forums. Although 1.3 fixed a few bugs, It literally murdered the graphics. The texture loading and pop-in is insane. In Rattay entire building’s have popped up in front of me and 1.2 was not like this. Why hasn’t WH acknowledged this issue? From what i read they arent aware of a downgrade? Just give me 1.2 back , whatever they changed ruined the game for me and i love this game. If psn gave refunds for digital purchases id be getting one.

I actually feel bad for console players who bought this game lol. From the footage I have seen on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, I could not believe how horrible the game looked and performed. People gave Fallout 3 a lot of flak for the PS3 version. This is the same thing all over again lol. I am all for #PCMASTERRACE but come on the consoles are capable of much more than that. To release such a vomit inducing version and charge full price is insulting. Even though the PC version is not up to the standards I set for this game and is unoptimised, I have to say it is miles better than the poor console versions.

Yeahhh this game was ruined before the patch. So many PS4 players have had game breaking bugs related to the saving system alone. There is a thread where like 30 players have lost upwards of 40 hours of gameplay due to save corruption

It Doesn’t make sense to me how they didnt play test this? QA team screwed up bad. Fix a few bug’s but destroy the game visually for a few fps? I didnt mind the slow down (it was slight). Atleast give people the option to choose performance or graphic’s. Even if my save got corrupted id be less irritated.
That’s exactly what a lot of us feel on PC. The game is visually inferior now (Despite counterarguments about how sacrifices were necessary. IT IS VISUALLY INFERIOR PERIOD) than what it was in the alpha and beta, yet still leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to performance.
eer, maybe just maybe some of us did not buy this game because graphics ?! and how can it be game breaking issue for you people ?

Seems like they made assumptions they shouldn’t have. QA? Just stand with sun to Henry’s back and look at the silhouette, the head floats above the body (no neck).
Flaws and bugginess aside, there’s nothing game breaking about KCD. If I had the PS4 pro instead or reg PS4, might feel differently
The texture problem should be resolved when you play 15 minutes. I had the problem too but only for some minutes.
Right there with ya on the Xbox (XB1X) side of the matter. Only difference is that I want v1.1 back… We just got v1.2 last night and it’s unfortunately a downgrade. I hate to be this critical because I truly do love this game and what it’s all about but the immersion is being totally ruined by horrible pop-in and terrible clipping.
Which is a very valid argument but on console it wasnt a difference between alpha and full release, it was within one patch lol.

I’m on Xbox One X and I can tell you there is a lot of exaggeration, take it with a grain of salt.
In my opinion the game looks gorgeous, and Digital Foundry did comparison of all 3 platforms and it looks almost identical everywhere.
Of course PC comes on top, it’s clearly not the same budget.
But Xbox One X runs at 1440p and looks really good.
I’m not standing there staring at grass when playing the game, so it’s not an issue for me if there is a bit less grass or a bit less anisotropic filtering.
I think the wrong idea is coming into play here, the reason it appears downgraded is texture loading. When the textures are there i see zero difference. However they just arent loading a good 40 percent of the time. I played on day 1 and never had this issue, patches are supposed to fix thing’s not break them.
So when galloping up to a village, it doesn’t bother you that buildings are popping-in 50 yards out? Please stop accusing everyone of exaggerating their own experiences with the game. Everyone has their own level of expectations for a (this) game. I LOVE this game but the level of the clearly designed immersion is being broken right now because of the terrible pop-in and environmental clipping. To be clear, I will NOT be asking for a refund and I’d pay $60 again knowing what I already know of KCD. I just want/expect it to get better. Simple.

On reg PS4, Sasau and Rattay walls have a rendering delay for me. Doesn’t happen every time but it does happen. It takes a couple seconds. It’s not good just as having hats/head gear render a sec or 2 after NPC isn’t good. If WH doesn’t want to be known for glitchy graphics, they need to address
Having had the system freeze on me when running into high poly sections of FO4, I was actually surprised about rendering whilst on horseback. Needs more polish but still pleased
There is a popping issue, we know that since 1.1. It’s nothing new.
And no, it doesn’t bother me more than that, because the game is not defined by this graphical glitch alone…
Surely it can be better, and surely it will be better.
There is a lot of exaggeration, I’m seeing everyone jumping the gun calling developers out and saying the game is ugly … that is clearly not true.
So … please calm down people, if it bothers you that much to have popping textures, then I would advise you to put the game down and wait for it to be fixed down the road.
No one deserves this level of harassment for a video game … They are working hard right now to resolve it, keep it in mind.

Exactly the point i was trying to get across. If i hated this game i Wouldn’t waste my time posting, i really was enjoying it until this patch. I would be way less irritated if they acknowledged it as a known issue but they don’t.

WH doesn’t deserve harassment but they do deserve criticism for not better verifying/addressing pop ins/high poly rendering on console esp XBoxOne PS4 pro

They are aware of the problems, they are reading this forum actively and weeding out the bugs.
This is what developers do.
But right now they already have a lot on their plate, they don’t have time to post on the forum.
I can imagine it must be really painful for them to read the forum right now because so many people are insulting them and their work.
Criticism is good, but there are limits … look at the caliber of this game.
I’ve seen people asking for refunds because they thought there was less grass since 1.2 … LOL
I mean … really? How can people be so childish?

Harrassment? Please do not start unnecessary drama. We have every right in the world to question the game’s performance issues, lacklustre texture streaming and expose them. We kickstarted this project and waited patiently for 4 years so I think we have the right to criticize the game fully for its shortcomings.
I myself will tell you the game is one of THE best RPGS which makes casuals run away in fear. I am against handholding and noob catering in games so KCD is a welcome breath of fresh air for people who like real R P G S. But the performance for the visuals it offers is just not good, period and I will criticize the performance and non -gameply related oddities over and over again until the developers take notice and start fixing them!
That is how you get developers to fix games. that is why Ubisoft now releases higher quality ports than they ever have, due to repeated criticism from PC gamers of their shoddy ports with performance issues.
