I have yet to play Resonant, but Control was such a nice surprise. I went in knowing nothing and ended up loving it.
That was me, bought it to try out rat tracing, came out a huge fan of raybtracing AND control, and now Poets of the Fall/old gods of asguard is our favorite band
Did you get better at drawing rats?
Drawing, no, but tracking them through miles of forest, absolutely
Hell yea
It is funny, for years I went as Ratt Slayer, so branding is on point for me
I've been eager to play it under a similar mindset, but every time I load it up I have the Steam version refuse to launch with no feedback, and the GOG version says there isn't enough visual memory.
My GPU is either a 12 GB or 16 GB AMD card. Make it make sense!
If you have an iGPU too, maybe it's trying to use the wrong one?
Maybe. I feel like I should dig into the settings for the game before I load it again. Does anyone know if Control had an .ini file or something like that? It's literally impossible to adjust the graphics settings through the options menu
I'll take a look tomorrow! I know the path tracing stuff caused issues at first, that might be on by default. What resolution & refresh rate do you have? I'll try to make a config that fits.
Btw, you're on Windows or Linux?
Linux, thank you. I don't know the specifics of my setup right now but I'll try and remember to update my reply when I get home and can look into it
Please do! Let me also share my run command etc., because initially I also had trouble getting it to run, until I landed on the right env var :)
