Shame the second is a terrible port and the first runs like **** on modern hardware.

Thats weird. The witcher 1 runs great here. I havent seen any slowdowns or crashes yet

It runs flawless, getting 80-100fps constant near enough....there's just a few gfx options that can ruin the fps somewhat like the depth of field ones.

My fps is fine too, runs around 40-60 odd, but whenever I turn the camera it feels like its skipping frames and juttering ahead too fast, feels awful.

You turn off one setting and it all becomes nice and smooth, I forgot what setting it was though.

1280x800, everything set to low/off, it still happens. 3570k + HD6850.

I've uninstalled it and chalked it up as a loss like I have with Gothic 3 now, it microstutters beyond belief for me and like the second one it seems to skip frames by freezing, then resuming but losing gameplay inbetween. :confused:

Huh? I can see ME3 up for £7.50 and the Deluxe up for £17.50. Even with 30% off that isn't £7.50? Not that I can find the code anyway.

£12.25 That's like £7.50ish in my book

That's as cheap as I have ever seen it.

I turn off Depth of Field, Motion Blur and Ubdersampling.

Have you tried it on a different hardrive?

Witcher1979 · 31 Dec 2012 at 00:16

Did you try ubersampling=0? I don't have it installed to check what it was

Nah, but since changing CPU's it's the only game, well games (same franchise though) that I have issues with. Everything else has improved tenfold, oh except Skyrim but that's hopeless without an SSD.

That's where the game basically projects everything twice isn't it? It won't even run on my system on minimum, I aint gonna try and ubersample.

Turn off UberSampling on Witcher 2, that should fix most issues.

Sycho · 31 Dec 2012 at 00:19

Oi Omaeka whilst you are awake, is the Risen 2 DLCs worth buying or not?

By the way Broken Sword Trilogy is 80% off at £1.99 if anyone interested.

ME3 cost me £5.25 or something from GMG wasn't the deluxe version though.

Can't believe killing floor hasn't popped up yet

Race 07 for 74p

Played the demo and it seems alright, quite like the handling.

n3mss · 31 Dec 2012 at 00:58

Not sure if it's in your region, but I got Condemned Criminal Origins and quite like it so far. I also got Dead Island but I don't like it very much at this point.

ic1male · 31 Dec 2012 at 01:01

I dropped 26 notes on the Popcap complete pack. At least I know they'll run on my laptop. Works out about £1.50 a game or such like. Not bad at all really.

wnb · 31 Dec 2012 at 01:05

been playing Dead Island, good game and I suddenly realised it is 1am and I have work early in the morning. Going to have to see if I can switch off the bobbing as Its getting to my eyes.

Plants Vs Zombies... what more do you need!

Very tempted by Mark of the Ninja @ 50% off... anyone think it will go lower?

I am also hoping for it to go lower, along with Stealth B****** deluxe and Walking Mars. Those 3 are at the top of my wishlist

On a side note has anyone tried Far Cry 3's multiplayer? If so is it any good?

Thought it did ages ago?

Mark of the Ninja is worth full price imo. At 50% off its a steal.

FC3 multiplayer sucks to put it simply. The coop is nothing special and has several irritating bugs and mechanics. The vs MP is basically a carbon copy of CoD and doesn't do anything better.
