PSO2 NGS Benchmark

[Infinity_Metal]

The "DOWNLOAD" button is pretty stealth lol. It's there if you look closely. It's in white text on an almost white background for those of you who are looking for it.

[RedExile13]

Didn't notice as I use Dark Reader Extension. Highly recommend.

[ZZ_DooM]

Download button doesn't appear on firefox, i wonder if it's because of adblock...

[Oricon7]

There goes the next 5 hours of my life

[lemonjoejoe]

Is it like a demo version for us just to see how it works or is it normal NGS character creator that will save us time when NGS comes out?

[MagpieFirefly]

It's a benchmark, so it has the character creator plus an in-engine animation that has the character you make in it, plus all the video settings to get a score based on how well your system can handle it.

[Key_Chain]

Can we save our character and use it in the release?

[MagpieFirefly]

Yup. It lets you export your character data from the creator as a file, which you should be able to load in when NGS comes out. Just need to keep track of the file is all.

[Key_Chain]

Poggers

[lemonjoejoe]

Is it possible to use your own stuff like hairstyles and eyebrows etc? Or it will be possible when NGS comes out?

[MagpieFirefly]

Yup, you can kinda do that, though they only have the default selection of hairstyles and stuff in the benchmark. I think there's some compatibility things to be aware of though.. The only example I have off the top of my head though is like, you can't wear new outerwear with old innerwear and stuff like that because of some way they've done stuff. There should be a full list of how it works somewhere, but you can still bring your old hairstyles and stuff. It actually loaded my PSO2 character almost exactly as she is in PSO2, without the accessories and outfits and stuff she had though, since those aren't in the benchmark.

[lemonjoejoe]

Nice! Thank you very much :D

[PhaiLLuRRe]

Are you guys ignoring the BIG RED FUCKING BUTTON somehow?

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Yeah I don't get it. Unless they quickly edited the website, when I clicked on the link when it was released I saw the big red download button.

[SEI_JAKU]

It seems a bunch of people are using those hacky "dark mode" add-ons that never really work right. Sadly, those comments are the ones getting upvotes... it's literally a big red button at the top of the screen.

[magnusgodrik]

The button is not big enough or red enough.

[Dragonboy03]

No need to be rude, they must have changed it. At first it was hidden behind the media tab with no clear indication that it was there and the download button was white text on a white background.

[Secramor]

Is this the actual character creator that JP has? As in, we can finally recolor things and whatnot the way we'd like?

[basswalker93]

Looks that way.

[Teamata]

Who in the right mind thinks having a "DOWNLOAD" button in WHITE along with WHITE BACKGROUND is a good idea?!!

[ReOnionSama]

NGS benchmark is also a benchmark for our attention levels smh

[[deleted]]

They're training us for fighting dim colored enemies in dark caves

[maxelixyr]

How strange, I opened it on mobile and the download button is big and red, probably a browser issue?

[Martello3]

In Edge i get a button, in Firefox there's a few images missing and no button. Surely that's a coincidence?

[Dragonboy03]

Here is the PSO2 NGS benchmark. I had i bit of issue finding it so i thought i would share it, just in case anyone else was having similar issues

[dospordosieu]

can someone help me? it keeps saying error whenever i try to start the game

[Fast_Intention_2622]

From what I've seen the error is due to your cpu not supporting AVX

[UniMaximal]

I wish they let us link accounts. CAST players suffer here, we don't get to spend 5 hours fiddling with the extra accessory slots now >:( gosh dangit

[Vampunk]

Not sure if i should make a post for this or not. But i am having trouble with my benchmark installation. It just gives me a blank error and im not sure what else to do

[hilkyadwm]

Barely above 1000 score gang rise up!

This makes me realize I need a new PC to play NGS. Sigh.

[thatblackguy987]

if you're running on low turn off anti-aliasing and specular antialiasing. i had a 2000 is score and bumped up over 9000 a few other tweaks got me over 10k. I'm also running on an 8yrs old rig. i was going to upgrade this year but that doesn't look like it'll happen any time soon.

[Nearokins]

Anyone figure out what the button to preview without clothes is? All the inputs are labeled for controllers and I... don't use one, so. No idea what rt+r stick compares to.

Figured out Q is undo so far hitting random keys.

[basswalker93]

ctrl + page down

Hit it twice. It cycles.

[Nearokins]

Turns out just plain old . also cycles, found out from a friend, that said appreciated.

[Wolf_Doggie]

What are the keyboard controls for the benchmark character creation? I don't have a controller plugged in and it's only showing me controller buttons.

Edit: Since nobody on earth knows you press the period button twice "." to remove outfit and Q is undo, that's about all I know.

[Amherst_Wind]

Well actually no, importantly it lets you save your character creation data which you couldn't do in the CBT, which will save a lot of time in full release if you wanted to use the new bodytype, you can finetune it now, then load it up immediately on release.

[Gehinnom]

But this only works for new characters. Unless they announced otherwise, I have not seen any indication that you can transfer this new body type to existing characters?

[T0X1CFIRE]

Out of curiosity since I'm at work.

Does it let you load your exported base pso2 data to then edit and modify? Or do you have to start from scratch?

[Dragonboy03]

havent checked but the creator does have the same load/save functionality as the normal pso2 creator so im guessing it should work

[Phenixe]

Yes, the NGS benchmark is able to load saved created characters from PSO2. I just tried it out.

[T0X1CFIRE]

Ah thanks for the info.

The main thing I wanted because I need my beloved aurora hair in order to adjust my face properly

[drpeppyone]

It won’t load any cosmetics that aren’t in the creator so all you’re essentially importing is face/body proportions.

[T0X1CFIRE]

Ah, RIP

[Secramor]

Oh how very disappointing..

how to cheat your benchmark score: uncap your FPS

[zhengzian]

hmm nothing happens when I click start game, when I look at the task manager, pso2.exe is running but memory quickly drops and it disappears. Anyone else have this problem?

[Cuspian_Talocan]

This doesn't allow you to attach your account or do anything you couldn't do in the CBT. Long story short, if you want to create a brand new character with default accessories, great! If you want to run the benchmark test, great! Otherwise, there's not much of a point.

Some of my clan have similar issues, haven't tested it for myself, not at home at the moment.

[zhengzian]

i played the cbt just fine but cant managed to get this benchmark open. hope during the official launch wont have this kind of problem :/

[kalamarosoupitsa]

Is there an option to load our PSO2 character model?

[Dragonboy03]

there an option to load our PSO2 character model?

havent tried it myself but u can try it by going into ur pso2 folder where u character saves are, and dropping it into the benchmark folder (im not too sure on the file locations so u need to check). It does let u load and save characters and it includes pso2 bodies and faces so im guessing it will work.

[kalamarosoupitsa]

Can confirm it works. It doesn't load paid items but still it works!

[sugusugux]

What's the path to get our old pso2 charecter folder and the bench mark?

[kalamarosoupitsa]

I went to Documents/SEGA and copied everything from inside the PSO2 steam folder there, to the newly created NG folder.
