Damn you to hell EA *SPITS*

- Sims 3 is jerky when scrolling across the neighbourhood, but this just seems to be the approach they take to rendering the image rather than poor coding.

Sims 3 formats your hard drive when you uninstall, but this seems to be the approach they take to removing the game rather than poor coding.
 
To be fair about Dead Space, it could be described as a bit iffy on some systems unless you did the vsync thing with the drivers etc, at which point it was utterly smooth and spot on to play.

Deadspace jerky and laggy??

I ran it on average/high settings on an AMD 64 x2 4400+, 2gb ram and a 7800gtx and it ran fine.

It was a great game to play as well!

To be fair, you can't really class The Sims and Spore as games :p Utter pieces of **** imho!

- Spore was very well optimised and with low requirements.

- Deadspace was pretty optimised.

- Sims 3 is jerky when scrolling across the neighbourhood, but this just seems to be the approach they take to rendering the image rather than poor coding. Just turn the settings down a little ;)

- There are other games you dont mention - Mirrors Edge ran amazingly well, especially when you consider how great it looked!

Edit: Forgot Need for Speed Undercover - that ran like crap :)

Deadspace ran fine on a low end pc with low res's and quality

sims 3 - VERY low settings No AA low quality sound, low textures.. basdcilly eveyrthing on low..still jerky yet VERY high frame rates.

.. and mirrors edge..dont make me laff :P
 
I had to use D3DOverrider to solve the mouse problems (lag and general lack of responsiveness) in Dead Space. It ran perfectly once I got it sorted. I was also getting silly fps - something like 150-200 for the most part on max settings.
 
Okay, bashing EA was fashionable for many but blaming them for bad games they didn't make seems pointless does it not? I've used the EA Store for a lot of online purchases being able to pre-load and recieve a few extra's along the way. I'm not saying they are perfect because they are far from it, their automated help system was the bane of many peoples lives but they have improved immeasurably from my experience. When BC2 was released I used their new live chat and had my game up and running within five minutes of chatting to a CSR (also a week earlier than official release, result!). I bought NFS Shift CE online but the unlocks didn't seem to work so again a brief email to them resulted in a ton of extra's and a £10 voucher ! In all I've managed to wangle four £10 vouchers from them..

so being the Devils Advocate I applaud EA and their games distribution and I hope your sitting down for this next bit, their excellent CSR !! :eek:

*oh Dead Space was superb and ran like a dream on my aging rig, no mouse lag probs either*

Sort of glad someone else is having the same issues, I've tried lots to sort this and in the end thought it might be my PC. I get it the most on the Japanese tracks.
 
how dare you add deadspace to those utterly useless games.
shame on you ;)

actaully there is nothing wrong with deadspace you can have constant 60fps with vsync enabled and responsiveness on the mouse but its best played with a controller :)
 
Can anyone else confirm that EA's customer support has gotten better?

I stopped buying their products years ago because of this. There was always either a standardised e-mail reply that had nothing whatever to do with the problem or no reply at all.

After I actually had to bin 4 (!!!) new games in the space of a year, I gave up on them. And yes, they those problems were all confirmed bugs or installation issues (after a considerable amount of time, mind you), and I had these problems on my own PC as well as a test rig.
 
Deadspace was fine, ran at a constant 60fps on my 4870 throughout the whole game and looked amazing too.

Also the laggy controls were done on purpose; you're in a heavy and claustrophobic engineering space suit, you're not supposed to have ninja like reflexes. :rolleyes:

Not really. The 4870 had just been released at the time and using 64-bit drivers was more than troublesome on Vista.

I had no problems with Vista other than that. After seeing the issues others had with it and comparing it to Windows 7, good riddance to Vista.

Still PEBKAC.

Plus, you said the release of Vista before. 4870s were release a long time after.

So what is it? Vista's release? 4870 release?

I don't think they meant for you to have to move your mouse the entire width of your desk in order to pan the camera a few millimetres (although this issue specifically didn't seem to be as widespread as the other mouse lag issues people seemed to run into, it certainly affected me and took D3DOverrider to solve it - no amount of tinkering with CCC or the game's .ini files worked).
