    I've held off on getting this game for a while now, largely on the assumption that the PC port would be all kinds of rough at launch. But it's been several months now and I'm curious if it's gotten any better by now (or if it's been fine this whole time).

    Having/not having support for resolutions above 1920x1080 isn't a concern for me. I'm more concerned about stuff like button prompts displaying in a reasonable fashion and overall program stability.

    Thanks!

    (on Windows 10, if for whatever reason that makes a difference)

    I played it and it was fine for the most part. The most problematic was that on certain resolutions, the cutscenes and voice work are off-sync but the gameplay itself isn't affected. Most of the koei games run fine on potatoes.

    @bbalpert: It ran fantastically for me. Best Musou I've played in years, maybe ever.

    but I have heard it does have some serious issues on Windows 10 ( I Played on Windows 7) with Nvidia GPUs

    Tested on a 980ti, GTX 980m, GTX 960m. All systems are running windows 10.

    Game doesn't run in full screen mode. The Koei Tecmo "fix" for it doesn't work. That is to run the game in Windows 7 compatibility. I have a 1440p monitor, so running it in windowed mode at 1080p is a no go. So I use Borderless Windows and the game is at full screen but:

    -The jitter and stutter from the frame rate is atrocious.

    -There is a diagonal tear across the screen. Some sort of WEIRD VSYNC issue.

    -Frame rate CONSTANTLY fluctuates from 45-60 no matter if I'm runnin on low or high settings. I have to lock it to 30 FPS just keep it from going crazy.

    -The audio in movie playbacks are out of sync

    -I'm pretty sure some of the graphical options don't do a damn thing to the game's image quality. Sort of like the One Piece Pirate Warrior 3 game.

    -There is an issue with XB1 controllers where you'll have to roll back to previous drivers if you have the latest ones. Much like the same issues present with OPPW3. I'm sure there are other controllers that don't work.

    The game has not recieved a single update to attempt to resolve ANY of these issues. Much like OPPW3.

    If you're tight on money, don't pick this up until it gets to $15 or under. Its that bad of a port. ESPECIALLY if you're a 900m series mobile GPU owner. KT games fall apart for some reason on them.

    afaik the issues still persist, as there are a quite a few threads on the Steam forums about Win 10 compatibility.

    I'd love to say hands down buy the game as I love it, but I think you should know about the issues I've heard re: Win 10
