I don't understand...

... how the PC version came out this [censored] up.

Playing in regular full screen? Hilarious, motion sickness inducing stutter indoors.

Playing in borderless windowed? Get stuck inside computer terminals, lip syncing no longer lines up with voice acting, get stuck inside computer terminals, lock picking difficulty goes to insane master level, DID I MENTION THE TERMINALS AND GETTING STUCK IN THEM?

Borderless windowed, 60 FPS cap turned on? Insane stutter everywhere.

So far the lesser evil seems borderless windowed with uncapped fps and just avoiding computer terminals like they're the devil. Literally just deskflipped after getting stuck in the same computer 10+ times because it's required for a quest and I'm not allowed to use it without getting stuck.

Stop using the same [censored] engine for every game.

Stop [censored]ting on your PC fanbase.

This is pathetic.

What are your computer specs if you don't mind me asking?

I ended up having to always quicksave before terminals

Hmm... I have yet to experience ANY of such issues... And I am playing in borderless window (no time to fiddle endleslsly with graphics settings oher than the basics). 60 FPS mostly (cap to 61 via EnBoost, as defaulted).

I'm one of the lucky ones and have had next to no issues beyond crashing. Which isn't even a big deal anymore since I quick-save like every time I accomplish something.

Worst I've gotten relating to performance was frame-skipping when I was on default Ultra settings. Turned shadows and distance detail down, it cleared right up.

Literally no Problems over here. Only a little framerate drop here and there

Only ONE major problem so far (game crashes when near a very specific building that does not matter much), otherwise, only some minor bugs here and there.

Absolutely no problem over here. The latest AMD drivers really helped with the frame rates and I've found no bugs (as in Skyrim. Maybe I'm lucky) so far.

My only gripe is the voiced protaganist and the dialogue system. Not much space for roleplaying it seems.

I have a new computer, less than a year old, fairly high spec but not a 'gaming' computer. Yeah I find it annoying, have to run it on the lowest settings, and it get's it's knickers in a twist when a few enemies show up.

It does look pretty nice though.

No problems here really, not exactly a high spec computer, no real issues. Had some stuttering that disappeared quickly enough, couple of none serious glitches and no crashes.

I must be one of the fortunate ones.

I must be fortunate as well. The only problem I've had from a bug or glitch was a crash I experienced when sprinting through a dense area. I have a computer that was a gamer about five years ago, so it's definitely not one of the greatest, but not one of the worst either. I play on medium. I haven't had any problem on full screen or windowed mode. Seems PCs are a fickle bunch. Hard to determine what will happen on any given system.

My fullscreen runs fine with everything maxed out. Moral to the story, don't play the game with a bar of soap.

Now I'm waiting for an optimization patch. Get my 30-45 fps to a steady 60.
