No rain although it's pouring rain | Forums

Hi

I've seen pictures and videos that Breakpoint has quite much ain effect but I don't have almost any.
I'm running Breakpoint with Vulkan. Using GTX 1070 with up to date drivers and All settings are high to ultra.

Or maybe there shouldn't be any?

Br,

Ingame view. First image is normal view. Second one shows brief moments where I can see rain. Click on the image to see 1080p view.

Hey UmmiQ, thanks for the screenshots!

I see what you mean, it looks a lot more clear in Photo Mode. Does this happenwith Vulkan only? Please verify your game files and test again.

If this doesn't work, please send us a screenshot of your graphics settings.

This is non Vulkan graphics:





And it's the same with Vulkan and everything maxed.
But hey- the FPS with Vulkan is waaaaay better. Amazing

Thanks for the screenshots! I'm glad you're getting more performance out of Vulkan.

Nothing in your settings seem out of the ordinary, so I'll forward this information to the devs. Any updates will be posted in the forum!

Hello UmmiQ,

While Ubi-Spud sends this to our dev team, I would like to offer a suggestion.

In my experience rain effects are often affected a lot by your sharpening settings. Perhaps try a different sharpening method instead of FidelityFX, or raising / lowering the sharpening intensity.

All the best!

That's an interesting thought. I tested it and it seems that after I turn off AA the rain comes more visible but then again, weirdly enough, the GPU resource usage rises quite a lot and FPS drops drastically. Without AA the image is quite awful though

Upping the resolution scaling, changing FOV, changiing sharpening doesn't seem to change anything. It's related to AA with my game at least.

Click on the image to see full resolution.

Wihtout AA


With AA

Thanks for trying this! AA being enabled will put more resources onto your GPU so thus the usage going up as it is processing more detail.

Can you confirm your system specs please?

Hi! I know that and if you read again and look at the images you'll see that AA ON is smooth 60fps (and up if VerticalSync off) and AA OFF is WEIRDLY much slower and more GPU consuming. This is weird!

You can see how my system runs the benchmark with AA ON and VS on or off here: https://youtu.be/IkMu0PrOloQ
Also you can see that VerticalSync ON also requires less resources.

Apologies I did miss that from the images. Thank you for pointing it out

Welly our system is well within the requirements. This is a rather tricky one, is there any additional software for your GPU that could be causing this to occur?

No. I just did a refresh install to my Windows for some other purposes and tried out Breakpoint first!
