The Division PC settings revealed

Division PC

A deluge of The Division information surfaced last week – with a wealth of videos and preview information popping up just about everywhere.

Of course, the initial reaction from many people – the sort who love to whine about downgrades – have pointed how the game just doesn’t match up to the version of the game we were initially shown at E3. Echoing the “downgrade” that befell Ubisoft’s own Watch_Dogs, it seems that The Division won’t look as good as many had hoped.

Unless they play on PC it is. It seems that the PC version of Ubisoft and Massive entertainment’s RPG shooter has all the sorts of tinkering options PC gamers crave (it has electrolytes!). In a new video, YouTuber user Alobordo uploaded a clip showing the game’s PC options. The clip is running on lowe settings, which looks nice enough.

Here are The Division’s PC options, at least as far as the beta goes:

  • Vsync (on/off)
  • Frame Rate Limit (on/off)
  • Shadow Quality
  • Shadow Resolution
  • Spot Shadow Count
  • Spot Shadow Resolution
  • Contact Shadows
  • Post FX AA
  • Temporal AA
  • Sharpen Image (%)
  • Particle Detail
  • Enable Wind-affected Snow
  • Volumetric Fog
  • Reflection Quality
  • Local Reflection Quality
  • Sub-surface Scattering
  • Anisotropic Filtering
  • Parallax Mapping
  • Ambient Occlusion
  • Depth of Field
  • Object Detail (%)
  • Extra Streaming Distance (%)
  • Chromatic Aberration (on/off)
  • Lens Flare (on/off)
  • Vignette Effect (on/off)

In a video preview, Jackfrags spoke of the Xbox One version – saying that it’s not 1080p, and runs at 30fps – but looks good nonetheless.

“The Xbox One version looks good, no doubt, some really nice weather effects. It’s definitely not native 1080P though and it only runs at 30FPS. There were moments in combat where there were a lot of players on screen and explosions, I could definitely feel the FPS dropping below 30 and chugging a little bit. I did try the PC version and will comment on that soon, but I’m definitely gonna be playing the game on PC when it launches”, he said

Still, if you have a capable PC, then that’s probably where you should be playing The Division.

      This has a Titanfall-like cloud hanging above it.

        Indeed, I’ve got friends who really want to play this so I know I wont be alone. The biggest problem with these types of games is when friends stop playing as with Titanfall or Destiny. Not Evolve though. Everyone stopped after two months it seems

          That’s exactly it though…. Had they included a proper single player campaign, people would be more inclined to play it and then later dab into the multiplayer aspect of things, the game does look like it deserves to be played by everyone, but falls short when it’s limited to a almost MMO type genre…

          I just hope it has more content than Destiny, but finding a game that will last one a whole year without repeating missions is impossible.

            Repeating missions is fine as long as you know there’s loot at the end. VOG and the damn RNG really vexed some people and that’s understandable. The Raids were supposed to give us the best loot in the game at the time but getting nothing or duplicate items seemed to happen more often than not. I know Destiny wants us to grind but not everyone wants to play a Raid 20 times or more nor do normal people have the time to do this

            True the raid was the final straw, all that work no pay 😛

            Also crap connections and lag issues can ruin the experience and lead to frustration

          Ok, so I quickly checked up on it, apparently, you can go at it solo, whether you’ll have to be online constantly to do so is another topic in itself, but that’s some good news, isn’t it?

            You’ll PROBABLY have to be online all the time… like the PC version on Diablo 3 (yes it’s a sore point).

            Ubisoft is doing it with most of their games these days.

    Are those settings for the game or subjects you need to learn to become a graphics card designer?

      And people wonder why they make console controller buttons pretty primary colours.

    What the hell happened to the games graphics. It looks utter rubbish now from what we’ve seen shown at the E3 Demo.

      Well, many years ago, if you bought a car it did not come with the model sitting on the bonnet in the brochure or the fancy lights and features. (crass, but only example I could think of where marketing and reality missed each other)

      I think marketing plays too big a part in games and it is completely wrong. Totally. Publishers and marketing people cannot keep using outdated techniques on things like games.

      Expectation management is extremely important and they seem to miss that boat too often. I think it is starting to hurt them, but slowly, slowly does it.
