This absolutely does not mean it needs nerfed it just means that the other guns need balanced around the pistol. It feels like classic Halo gunplay. This is only my first impressions after 2.5 hours of gameplay I’ll update my feedback throughout my flight. Hopefully you take these things into consideration. Also in case my bug report gets lost in the sauce I’ll put it here as well, when you tab out and come back the audio bugs out and some things end up muffled.

> Is it me, or is there more recoil on infinite?

There was definitely a recoil change and in some places it doesn’t feel terrible but needs adjusted all around.

Massive crashing problem now. Have had three crashes in a row.

You might be able to tell the game which GPU to use inside the Nvidia settings under 3D management. I only got a single cards so I don’t think I can see multi card settings at least none that I could find but thats worth a shot.

A proper fullscreen mode should be in the game on launch. Borderless is not fullscreen.

After the update the game seems to be less smooth on my PC. I have tried reducing the resolution and the grsaphical quality and locking the frame rate for both min and max but the problem seems to be persistent. Before the update everything was running smoothly with higher graphical quality.

Update has caused stuttering and performance issues with 1080TI, I7-7700k, 32 GB and installed on ssd. V-sync on in game seems to make it stutter a little less but it still happens. V-sync forced on with nvidia but off in game does not seem to make it worse or better. Tried all low settings had no effect on stuttering.

The game crashes before it gets to the menu in virtual machines unless you enable Hyper-V on Windows (which is a real performance killer).

I don’t expect this to be fixed since it’s such a small userbase (although XCloud almost certainly uses these types of VMs), just thought I’d mention it.
I can and have dualbooted to metal to get a more playable experience, but the DXDiag I sent in and the hardware 343 expects me to play the game with does show that it is a virtual machine (a stupidly powerful one, but a VM nonetheless).

PC performance was absolute trash for me.
Intel i5-9600k with a GTX 1070, 90% of all games I play can run at 1440p 60fps-120fps with at least medium settings. Got around 40fps here.
Tried to set it at 1080p, set the framerate to 60 and all settings to low and it still felt like 40-50fps with stutters, which felt like a result of poor frame pacing (didn’t realize there was a frame counter until end of flight, I’ll check it on the next one for accurate number).
I even took it down to 900p low settings and was still getting subpar 60fps in the weapon drill area, hung around 55 fps.
This is just unacceptable. I’ve got a running list of notes for the test to provide at the end but I just had to throw my thoughts out on the performance right away because this is surprisingly bad.

Patiently going to wait for an invite :’)

GTX 3070 and Ryzen 2700 - Cannot maintain framerate and screen tearing is horrible, regardless of framerate. For an FPS, this is borderline unplayable.

Would love to see the option to completely remove Depth Of Field in addition to what is already provided. I’m very quick to turn off all blur and depth effects in all of my games, as it gives an overall better clarity to the images on screen. I’m loving some of the options I’m seeing though there are a wide range (curious if “Flocks Quality” is in reference to flocks of birds? hahah) Thanks! <3 ,=,e

i put my forum in at 6am and its now 4:36

No access to the PC game. It says i need a Windows 10 Patch that came out in 2017.

Strangest issue I’ve ever had

“Incompatible Operating System Version. Please update your Windows 10 operating system to the fall Creators Update (Version 1709) Or Higher”

After the recent update, I got somewhat better frames than before, probably around 5-10 fps increase running on 1660 Super on low settings. But I do feel like it’s been more jittery or stutters more since the update.

I have experienced at random times my game will crash in the main menu or sometimes right after respawning. I do play on 3 monitors, 1 of which is an ultra wide.

2 2560 x 1440p 24 inch monitors
1 3440 x 1440p 32 inch ultra wide monitor

RTX 2080 ti
intel i7 9700f
64 GBs of RAM

I’ve seen some issues with fps on my PC and others in the comments, but I’d hope this is because this is a 2 month old preview of the game. Hopefully when it’s released the optimization is on point

I have seen these same issues numerous times in other games.

It’s either a CPU bottleneck stopping the GPU from performing at max (not using all cores properly), driver issues, or bad optimization (which usually occurs later down the development line).

If this is a tech preview, we still have an true beta coming soon, in which I believe things will get ironed out.

But I am going to guess this won’t be alleviated for this tech preview, so looks like we will have to deal with these performance issues until next flight.

I need help! I am opening the game on steam and its saying i need the current drivers and i do!!! I updated them and restarted my computer!!! Its been 2 days, let me play this build 343! I submitted a ticket and nobody got back to me!

Same problem as other players. Got the key downloaded the game via steam. Starting the game. Black screen with 3 white dots on the upper left corner game crashes.
Deistalled-, reistalled nothing changed.
