A patch released on 22 June appeared to boost performance too, though, again, my testing was a bit erratic so don’t take that as gospel.Īnyway, on to the controls. My i5-6600 / 16GB RAM / 4GB 380X machine couldn’t manage a solid 60fps with everything maxed out, but seemed to hold it the vast majority of the time with a couple of things turned down (the graphics settings image up there has the options I settled on, although the constant black screening made consistent testing a little awkward). I mean sure, my nose is on the wall here, but yikes.
The most immediately noticeable difference is the shadow quality. Here’s a comparison between the lowest and highest settings in Umbrella Corps. Your other tweakables are Shadows (low/standard/high), Tone Mapping (which I think has something to do with creating the illusion of high dynamic range), Ambient Occlusion (off/low.standard/high), Realtime Reflection (off/low/standard/high), Bloom (off/low/high) and Motion Blur (off/on). That gave me a slightly frightening 800+ fps on all the loading screens, so I put it back to 60. This latter option is as good as its word, uncapping the frame-rate and leaving its upper limits to the powers of your imagination (or rather the power of your PC). The other options (1600×900, 1280×720 and so on) were all in the 16:9 aspect ratio.ĭisplay mode offers you fullscreen or windowed (no borderless windowed here Update: ‘fullscreen’ may actually be borderless windowed see comments below the article), while the frame-rate can be capped at 30, 60 or left as ‘variable’. Resolution options topped out at 1920×1080 for me, but that’s also the size of my monitor. These aren’t exactly lavish, but at least there are a few things to fiddle with. Click on any of these to make them larger. But let’s start by having a look at the graphics options. It has some pretty substantial problems, which we’ll get to in due course. What I can still look at is how well this Resident Evil branded affair has made the transition to PC. This is a multiplayer-focused title, and it’s not exactly reasonable for me to show up for matches and then crash out after ten minutes.
UMBRELLA CORPS SOLDIER PC
That’s all on AMD rather than Capcom or Umbrella Corps itself (at least, as far as I know) but it does mean that this overview of the PC version is going to stick to the technical side of things, and be particularly light on gameplay impressions. Reverting to Crimson 16.5.3 from 16.6.1, alas, did not help. This is the first time I’ve been hit with the bug in several months (probably Assassin’s Creed Syndicate around January or so), but it came back with a vengeance for this release.
UMBRELLA CORPS SOLDIER DRIVER
Thanks to the unwelcome return of a persistent AMD driver bug causing 380/380X cards to crash to black screens in certain games, I’ve had a hard time playing Umbrella Corps on PC for any extended periods of time.
