I decided to give the end game a go. It turns out my 2 best liked characters (FL4K and Moze) are the best for now, lucky me.
I am farming Mayhem 10 graveward, almost max level. I think they have made this too easy. If someone as shooter challenged as me can do this then I am sure others get bored quick.
Once I am max I must decide if I am going to do the takedowns/raids in groups, just to see what its like at our ping.
Maliwan should be fine. Guardian takedown is legit difficult. With both, the journey to the boss, is harder than the boss. Itās tons of fun with friends though, but you can totally do them alone
When I opted for it after getting the game (very) recently it was terrible. No visual upgrade, lower FPS and greatly increased loading times. So I stuck to DX11.
I have been using DX12 since they said they sorted out the issues. I might try switching to DX11 and see if makes a difference. Still canāt run the game on PC without hassles, tried 2 days ago again. So annoying.
If Gearbox / Sony would just implement cross-save, but thatās not happening.
Well FML. I should have tried switching to DX11 before I went and bought two DLCās for the PS4 versions the other day.
It seems to launch every time now again. Loading times are visibly longer but at least it doesnāt start with a crash. Will have to wait for payday to get DLC 3 on PC. But it gives me time to get Amara to 60 and maybe a second character as well.
Iāve done some benchmarking of the game with DX11 and DX12 now that I have a new GPU. DX11 gives me an average of 65 FPS with drops to about 45 at the lowest using the in game benchmark tool. DX12 gives me an average of 75 FPS with the lowest Iāve seen it drop to at 38. This was with a mix of medium and high settings with things like volumetric fog turned off as it is a massive FPS hog.
At first glance it seems that DX12 has better performance, but there is a catch. The game takes almost 5 full minutes to start up from the launcher using DX12 and there are a lot of stutters every couple of minutes. Itās as if the game is loading something in the background and then everything slows down for a like a second before going back to normal.
Iāll go back to DX11 for now. The extra FPS doesnāt really affect me that much since I cap it to 60FPS anyway.

Moze is awesome now! I played through the game with her when I first got it on PC and she was great but I donāt remember the mech being able to be active for as long as it is now.
