Public service reminder to always uninstall your drivers cleanly before installing new ones. When I installed the 14.9.1's it did fix my 2k issue, but it also broke the Catalyst Control Center (the app that has all the different options for driver-level graphic quality, among other things). It's working now, but only after I had to uninstall the whole package and re-install.

This isn't the first time that's happened with the CCC, either. I really ought to know better.

Just to help any AMD users out there, turning off supersampling manually helped me a bunch.

Also, RadeonPro helps so much too. I had removed most of my stutter by turning off Supersampling, but going into the Advanced tab after adding NBA2K15.exe and checking Force Triple-Buffering, Anisotropic Optimization, Trillinear Optimization, and Enable Surface Format Optimization helped a lot.

Beneath that, you'll also want to enable Texture Filtering Quality and move the slider to the left to 'Performance', and the same thing for Mipmap Quality which is under that.

I have no more stutter in Online games. Hope this helps somebody!

I am starting to notice a decent amount of input lag when using a gamepad, in my case the xbox 360 controller. There is a certain delay with the left stick, and I am sure it also will bother shot timing.

If you have a pretty good GPU, try changing your buffercount to 1 instead of 3. Turn off V-Sync and all AA then check if you still have input lag.

How is 2K15 on the PC this year? Last year's game was borked especially with online association trying to advance to season 2. Is this year's game in pretty good shape?

Aside from the platform wide server issues, the game is solid.

Re: PC Impression's Thread

Aside from the graphical issues, I think a lot of issues people are having in the game right now can be resolved by putting Steam in offline mode, or otherwise disconnecting from the internet before playing. Playing while connected to the 2k servers is just wreaking all sorts of random havoc for me, from crashes to features not working (pressing up on the D-pad didn't display the player's stats in the upper right), to the biggest ones - the game not letting me quit out of a quick game (it only gave me restart or sim to end, and said I wouldn't earn VC if I simmed...LMAO) or scrimmage (the entire quit button was grayed out, forcing me to Alt-F4). Once I went into offline mode, all of the above worked fine.

Launch server woes, more than anything, are the biggest problem with this game right now.

Re: PC Impression's Thread

Yeah I'm not liking the gameplay much either, after playing 2k14 on Xbox One and now the PC version of 2k15....it still feels like a downgrade.

All the way down to using old photos of players in the menus. During intros you still see players in their previous team uniforms and stuff like that. That I'm sure the console versions are updated images.

There is no halftime show, just stats.... Intro to the games seem super short and so do the sideline report going into the half seems like it's 4 seconds and back to the studio...

Lighting effects are different than consoles and the effects option in the video settings don't specify what it controls...Servers are broke all together...

Playing superstar level and the CPU just runs circles around my defense, when a star player gets the ball..my defense just starts running out the lane, they don't pick up open players, they run off well defended ones in the paint...and when you try to switch players to manually control the player, it auto switches to the wrong person.

And allows the CPU to score at will...this is straight frustrating.

I'm not so sure about the console versions having updated player pics yet, although I'm sure that will happen with a roster update. The advantage to having the PC version is that after a few months modding community will be able to get us updated player photos and even add legends and other stuff like with the Ultimate Roster stuff from last year's PC version. And because we have the power of the PC, we'll end up getting that stuff much quicker than consoles when it hits.

As for general impressions...I think I got the game down to a smooth performance rate. Textures - High Crowd and Player - Medium , AA - 4X, Shader Detail - Low, everything else on, and I'm getting 50-60 FPS. I was regretting my purchasing decision yesterday, but I'm sure I'll feel much better once some mods and updated kicks are out.

Not so sure about how quickly the mods will be on line. Andrew at NLSC said all of their current tools are useless, that the file types are very different with 15.

Anyone else in Australia not have their game unlock yet on Steam? The release date for the game is today (October 9th) but it still says unreleased. Anybody have any idea how to unlock it? Cheers.

Ahh right, that would make sense. Thanks for the heads up. Only reason I bought it online was because I found a cheap deal. If I have to wait another day but save $30 in the process I guess that's not too bad haha.
