Just Cause 3 Performance Guide

Latest drivers, lowest settings, 720p, running as administrator, shutting down as many programs, processes and services as possible and it still runs like absolute crap. Its amazing that as well as Mad Max ran for me, this game is the exact opposite. This was my most anticipated game of the year and its unplayable. Half my time has been spent trying to get the game to run smooth. Now I cant get a refund so Im stuck with it. They better get to work on patches ASAP.

I'm running it on i5 3570, 16gb RAM, GTX 970 and everything is on high and it holds 60fps in the few minutes i played before work Oh I'm on 1920x1200 resolution.

dreadz743698d ago

ya wait till you have explosions it will drop only 980 TI and I7 are getting steady 60fps and they still have drops .

claterz3698d ago (Edited 3698d ago )

At first I had terrible performance issues but after turning off global illumination and screen space reflections I'm getting consistent framerate which rarely dips below 60 even when there's lots of things going on. Also using SMAA instead of T2X. Everything else is on highest setting.

I have gtx 970, i5 4690k, 8gb RAM. Loving the game so far :)

If you go into launch options for JC3 on Steam and type in "/borderless / windowed" and turn off full screen in-game and V-sync you can get triple buffered V-sync so it doesn't cap itself to 30fps as soon as it drops a frame, also I turned off Global Illumination to get rid of the texture flickering, explosions still flicker when you're stood close but it's a hell of a lot smoother.

Perjoss3698d ago

Game runs great with everything maxed, though I do admit that when I built my rig I went a bit overboard specifically because of badly optimised games like this, and the fact that I play quite a lot of early access games that usually run like crap, looking at you ARK.

Who decides if a games story is average idefinitely ain't listening to no reviewers. I don't agree with most of then anyway. I think alot of them are to harsh on games so they can get clicks

banger881007d ago

Every Soulslike game ever made.

refocusedman1007d ago

zelda has a story line? Actually do any nintendo 1st party games have decent (not even good) storylines?

NotoriousWhiz1007d ago

Does Xenoblade count as 1st party? That's the only one I can think of.

NotoriousWhiz1007d ago

Also, Ocarina of time definitely had a decent (but not great) story.

Brazz1007d ago (Edited 1007d ago )

Zelda average story line!? Zelda Story sucks, most time It comes to "save the princess", Nintendo sucks at story outside Fire Emblem and perhaps 1-2 other IPs.

DOMination-1007d ago

Actually the Souls games and Zelda games share something in common, which is that they reward gamers for seeking out the story rather than thrusting it in their faces. Not saying this is better or worse, but it's unfair to say they don't have them.

People will be surprised to learn that if you dig a bit deeper into Zelda games, there's a whole lot of really dark and crazy stuff happening.

@DOMination

Thrust in your face??? I assume by that you mean basic story-telling 101? Lol.

I platinumed both Niohs but for the life of me, couldn’t tell you what happened in the story lol! I can namedrop Nobunaga, but that’s about it.

ChasterMies1007d ago (Edited 1007d ago )

The pinnacle of bad story but great gameplay is Destiny and Destiny 2. What is the Traveler? What is the Darkness? What the heck is happening? No one knew. But shooting the aliens and robots felt so good.

Brazz1007d ago (Edited 1007d ago )

Article os about "average" story. But If you wanna talk about bad story but great gameplay you need to look at Nintendo, they are the masters at making poor shirt story on great gameplay.

HeliosHex1007d ago

@deus. If you want more of the story fleshed out in detail I'd recommend the destiny grimoire anthology 1-6 25 bucks each. It's really good I loved the backstory on the guns.

Relientk771007d ago

"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

Is my favorite line from Destiny's "story" lol
