Hi,


I thought I'd try out the demo of this game before purchase, and it stutters like crazy, my pc is quite powerful;

amd 4800
ati 1900 mastercard and 1900xtx in crossfire
a8r32 mvp deluxe
2 gig corsair 3500LL pro
2 wd 250mb hd in raid 0


I tried all the little fixes, like removing background apps etc, and also the beta shortcut entry to launch the game yet it still stutters.

Does the full version still have these issues?
I'm sure it's a great game but not when it runs like this!

Thanks

Hi,

I don't think I'll be buying the full version after all, it's just too much hassle to get the game to work to an enjoyable level, I've read quite a few reports, even after all this time the game is still bugged, what a shame as it could have been awesome.

Thanks

Hi,

yeah done the full monty, gone as far as you sensibly can with tweaking the demo, my problems start on the options screen before the game has even started. Tried knocking down the resolution to 800*600, will try it with med textures - though that kinda defeats the object of having my system!!!

The only other thing I have not yet tried is to completley turn off hardware sound accel. Not too hopeful though.............

Hi,

well I've tried just about everything, basically it plays ok for about 5 mins, then the lock ups start, I can play for 5 seconds, then each lock up lasts for about 20 seconds which makes the game unplayable. I have disabled almost everything I can find in the taskbar. The demo is actually from steam, and has updated itself, so this should be inline with the current full version?

Thanks
Raja
