Wolfenstein: The New Order Teased

[Deleted member 6693]

ehhhmmm....I bought my Wolfi via Steam - but Valve didnt send me a Doom Beta Key......
Any of you bought it via Steam - and when yes - how to get the Doom Beta Key??

I am too MM (running 337.50), however the link that 15th Warlock links to is the 337.81 beta which I cannot find on Nvidia's download section nor in Experience.

EDIT:
Downloaded and installed 337.81:

Can't test right now as I am playing with my 9 month old son. He should be taking a nap soon...

It was in there for me but there is no update for Wolf. However SLI updates can come at a daily rate. They have nothing to do with drivers. Make sure you have your SLI set to update daily.

Well, I've played Bring Em On with Wyatt and I Am Death Incarnate with Fergus. Just started a play through with Fergus on Uber and I thought I'd give everyone a heads up in case anyone else thought there was a problem with upgrades like I did. Seems you can only get Armor upgrades with Wyatt and only Health upgrades with Fergus, but never both.

Starting to like the game a bit more now, but no matter what settings I use I get huge pauses here and there. It's a horribly optimized game. I'm sure it's partly driver related since I'm on a 7970 and it's Nvidia endorsed, but I've read feedback even from people on high end Nvidia spec that say it runs poorly.

Runs fine for me. Large pauses are usually caching or loading of some kind. Could be your 6GB RAM. I haven't looked to see how much system RAM the game uses, but it uses a lot of VRAM.

I've seen 4-5GB after about an hour or so. Good thing I have 32 total

 

[KimPate0929]

wow...I m ready for this! but still need upgrade my rig..

I caved and ordered another 2GB module. If a game with this mediocre graphics uses THAT much RAM though, there's something seriously wrong with the coding. I can't help but think I just wasted cash on their memory leaks.

 

[Lopez0101]

At least you'll be good now. Either do it now or have to do it later.

Actually guys I suspect PS4 and xbone are behind these settings... Devs actually had time to open the gates and used same RAM management settings on PC too...

It may be true...

Looks like I won't get my RAM till at least 6/2.

Had some fun anyways grinding through segments of this Uber run through building my perks and health upgrades. One of my fave weapons is that auto shotgun in shrapnel mode. That thing is wicked powerful. They were smart enough though to make sure not to have any one size fits all weapons. Some suck against armored troops, and you have to be careful not to drain your LKW in the wrong place.

They also have better AI than I first thought. They not only take cover and flank pretty well, they will spawn in places that keep you on your toes. I really like the background music, which is rare for me, but halfway through my Uber run I muted it to hear enemies better. Some of my fave battles are the train station and the ambush after the shuttle crash, the latter fairly challenging.

Stabbing Commanders while asleep in their bunks is hilarious, but I found they are woken when tossing a grenade at them, which I did to try and get the perk that requires you to kill one with grenade.

I then backtracked to the previous area where I'd snuck past several troops in hopes to find a Commander I could stun from behind with a tossed grenade, hoping to get my kill that way, but the area after I snuck through it was now void of all AI.

Oddly enough, when I went back to sneak through the Commanders bunk room on my way to the next area, the LKW woke him up just cutting through the panel in his room, which had never happened before.

As it turned out, it gave me the perfect op for the grenade kill because he stood there looking out the door of his room with his back to me, and I was able to stun and kill him with the grenade even though he was alerted.

This game is full of unexpected and often hilarious moments.

Well after 6 hours I have to say that I am enjoying the game
The visuals are good and the AI is not to shabby. The game has me wanting to play to the end to find out what happens

 

[johnspack]

Horrible, I'm bad.. I will buy this game. It's quite fun.....

I'm finding it's better than Watch Dogs really. I've played Bring Em On, I Am Death Incarnate and Uber and it felt different each time because I was still unlocking perks and finding new health upgrades. Since I played the last two with Fergus I've yet to even find all the armor upgrades or alternate routes of the Wyatt campaign.

Then there's the alternate modes you can unlock by solving the enigma puzzles. So far I've only unlocked 999 mode. I need to replay some chapters to get all the enigma codes.

Watch Dogs has a lot of stuff in it, but much of it is just lackluster.

Both games are very different.

i bought them both and i like them both very much ;D

even that i can't play wolfenstein in my original version ... lmao.

 

[mlee49]

Sadly I'm noticing more and more screen tearing.

 

[Frag_Maniac]

Not sure what you mean by this.

 

[Eroticus]

This game blocked in my contry and i bought a DVD version and dvd version is steam installer ^.^ .

you should be able to play it.
i wasnt unable to buy dark souls prepare to die edition from steam but when i redeemed key i got the game and had no problems to install and play it

Just swung by to say that I really enjoy it. I didn't expect anything but a corridor shooter, and yet because it gives much more, I've been thoroughly surprised and pleased. I expected that the AI would be super incompetent and yet capable of killing you in ridiculous ways. Rather to the contrary, even on difficult, the AI is not simply super buffed and impossible (like nightmare CoD game modes). As long as you use a little bit of common sense with a sprinkle of tactics, you can go quite far. This works well in tandem with the overall speed of the game and creates a nice ass kicking flow like an adrenaline rush, which wears off after the bullets stop flying and the room goes quiet. It's also good that you can stealth in some scenarios.

The environments are well thought out, clever, atmospheric and have a lot of variety in content.

In regards to performance, I only had to make some minor adjustments and tweaks in order to ensure maximum speed. I appreciate the game has some technical quirks, but they are most definitely not road blocks.

Sadly, so many people have judged the game prematurely. When I am playing this, it feels how Duke Nukem Forever should have been. This game is my dark horse for 2014

Actually it's being rated much better than Watch Dogs, which was far more hyped than this game, so a big let down for many.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Watch Dogs

Now I'm not saying Watch Dogs is THAT bad, but I do feel it's much less fun than W: TNO. I would rate Wolf about 8.5/10 and WD about 7.5/10.

In this planet allot of GTA fans boys ;P or guys with no money for normal pc and they didn't even bought the game ..

The game is still pretty awesome.

 

[blobster21]

Finished the game earlier today in death incarnate mode, i found the A.I was overall blind and easy to fool (first game ever were i scored at least 100 knife kills, sometimes even in line of sight of other SS soldiers)

Except for the final scene for which i had to lower the difficulty level, because i couldn't survive long enough (no matter how many grenades, rockets or aimed tesla gun shots i would throw at that damn tete de mort) Found this situation utterly frustrating after the 10th retry.

Performance wise, i didn't have to complain at all. I will play the game again later to collect more enigma code bits.

I agree the game is pretty good, but the performance problem is not as cut and dried as you make it sound. The game is a RAM hog, and it doesn't play as well on AMD spec. Megatexture games in general do not because of the lack of supporting GPU Transcoding on AMD, and Megatexture games seem to need that to load the HUGE frigging files.

Regardless what anyone says about my rig having 6GB RAM, it's not normal for a game with this level of graphics to suck up over 5GB RAM. Even Watch Dogs uses a little over 3GB.

No matter how much I enjoy playing this game I still do not like the Megatexture concept. It really does nothing for end users.

 

[Lopez0101]

You'll never need more than 2mb of RAM.

 

[johnspack]

Does fine with 1.5gbs vram
