BRINK

People who have bought retail copies now can't activate their game on steam, since they took the game down on the store. -_-

Considering sending mine back unopened and just buying witcher 2 instead.
 
I'm just fed up with the lag in servers. Even tweaking graphic settings the stuttering is unreal, in nearly all servers.

I think they need more than a 20mb patch :D
 
I'm genuinely shocked, just installed the game, I have a 5850 so was expecting it to be unplayable but actually I get a steady 50fps with everything maxed, I know what people mean about it not feeling like it's above 30 though, all the movements are very slow and deliberate.
 
Since the update mine running really well, the lag in the server menu as gone and the game feels smoother :)

Just needs more servers now

I think the server browser isn't working great, sometimes I'll refresh and get like 80 servers, then go back and research and get 450. Wish you could filter out the passworded servers also, so many in my list, also player amount also as I don't want 8 slot servers showing.

I just hopped onto a few ET:QW servers for comparison, if you want this style of game and don't own either, as it stands the 3 year old game is far and away the better choice, superior in just about every way IMO.
 
Well the latest update has fixed the issues I was facing.

Performance still doesn't seem right considering its graphics are mediocre compared to Crysis etc... Is it because it's OpenGL?

When I exit the game now it crashs and I have to use task manager to exit out of it properly. (Seems quite common with Bethseda games lol)

That's pretty much how I feel atm. I'm hoping eventually I'll start to like Brink more than I do right now.
