NBA 2K15 PC-Only Patch 2 (10/23) Released

[skoadam]

OMG it will never end. Last pc version?

[buzzy]

Not sure if I like how beards look now, but thanks for the effort put into updates regardless.

[Leftos]

Leftos, sad to say the hair glitch is still in the game, it is less noticeable on head hair, but some white players' hairstyles and all beards have this weird pattern, like u can see the hairs line up like a math pad. Afro hairs and a lot of hairstyles are fixed tho

Can you send me a screenshot or a link to one via PM?

[sakiboj]

It is much better now. Robin Lopez before had some strange shadows around whole head, now its a lot better. I must ask again, are You guys working on statistic bug fix? I just hate when Steve Kerr says "And now, lets take a look..." and screen freeze on particular player that had ball or cutscene.

[Leftos]

Yes, I've already mentioned that the fix for that is in the pipeline for the next patch, not counting PC-only patches.

[sakiboj]

And about fouls and free throws, so few per game even sliders are at max. Will that be fixed also?

[TBM]

Leftos' word of the week - "Pipeline".

[evoserb]

Any hope for the official 2k rosters? Injured players in real life are still in game`s roster rotation ;they are not even listed as injured.

The new patch broke something for me, I think anyways. For version 1 of the game without any patch in myplayer mode, in game my player sometimes has black textures for his arms, legs and head but not necessarily all at the same time and also shoe textures for random players don't apply correctly and after updating with first patch the texture glitches were no longer a concern but after the new update the texture bug is back and I did update to latest nvidia drivers.

Try FAST_TEXTURE_TRANSFER = 0

Any perspective on my earlier post, Leftos? No desire to pester you - just making sure you saw it. Thanks, fam.

Leftos, I'm thinking about buying a physical copy from Gamestop to avoid the download time and I'm on my phone so it's difficult to check... Is there a manual download of the patches for physical copies?

[aguifs]

the stuttering is back for me... Strange... Can I roll back the patch?

There aren't any physical copies. The physical copies are just Steam keys in a box.

Vibration is working after this patch, but now the black skin texture issue has come back for me. The first patch seemed to have fixed it, now it's back.

[Bard]

TBH, I haven't noticed game updated itself yesterday, but I just had a couple of games with a friend, and it was so much stuttering (both gameplay and audio) it was unplayable. After first patch it was much better.

I have put my PC configuration and my video settings file, and I think I'm not exaggerating with the settings. Luckily, it doesn't crash.

Hey, I'm still having the micro stuttering issue. (Audio lags resulting in mini freezes to keep the visual sync'd (from what I can tell))

I'm having a similar problem. Turning off my audio device is the only thing that fixes it for me.

Vibration is working after this patch, but now the black skin texture issue has come back for me. The first patch seemed to have fixed it, now it's back.

For any issue that you had without the patches that was resolved with Patch 1 but came back with Patch 2, try setting FAST_TEXTURE_TRANSFER = 0 in the VideoSettings.cfg file. It is set by default to 1 for Patch 2 but that's causing issues in some configurations.

[Leftos]

hi,after the second patch , i still havent vibration in my both controllers, Logitech Rumblepad 2 and sony ps3 controller via DS3 tool...any ideas why?controllers play fine,only the vibration is out (i have vibration on ingame)

Only “xinput” (xbox 360 compatible) controllers support vibration. “dinput” controllers do not.
On newer Logitech Rumblepad 2 controllers (those with X,Y,A,B buttons) there is a button on the front side to switch from ‘D’ to ‘X’.
Only the ‘X’ setting will allow vibration.
In DS3 tool you need to select Xbox 360 controller emulation.

cardo, try changing the shader quality setting. Fixing the hair issue requires an expensive hair shader and your system doesn't seem able to handle it. I can't promise anything, but we're investigating whether we can expose some more specific tweaking settings in a future patch so that you can balance image quality and performance better.

[PoundedChicken]

The micro-stuttering has returned following this 2nd patch...

[wicked waway]

uhm this patch now does not allow me to save a game in myleague..It was there before this patch and now if I quit my only options are quit and sim to end? what the hell man??

Save & Quit is not available in all situations (such as free throws). Try right after a made basket, that's the most reliable situation. The Patch didn't change this.

Thanks, but how about the ability to save different files of our association, removing that is really the biggest bummer IMO

Thanks, that seems to have worked for the texture issue. One thing I forgot to mention earlier, the game is hitching every minute or so since this last patch. Haven't changed any settings other than the FAST_TEXTURE_TRANSFER as you mentioned. I tried resetting my nvidia settings, no help. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Since I posted this, the hitching seems to have stopped somehow.

[sportyfox]

Thanks Leftos. Loving the game!! Question. Will there be a "fix"regarding the resolution in the video settings? My monitor's native resolution is 3440x1440 with a 21:9 aspect ratio. I have to set the resolution everytime I turn the game on(it goes back to some weird resolution by itself) and it says "unknown aspect ratio" next to it.

Btw, hi all. first post on here!

[CyberAMES]

after the last update, the problem now is screen tearing. tsk
