I've lost 20fps from the first release, a lot of people said the beta ran better..

DEVS - We are fixing an issue with cpu's, not easy though.

Close it or run the game anyway, it should still install correctly

I turn bloom off because it looks ugly as hell, regardless of performance boost or not.

Anyone lese find the dusk lighting on many maps kills the atmosphere and mood of the game? The lighting just doesnt scream Eastern Front hell hole, more like Red Dead Redemption for some reason.

rippling · 19 Sep 2011 at 20:52

have you tried war effect post proc? looks great !

weyland yutani · 19 Sep 2011 at 20:57

Yeah though wasn't sure if it was hitting my fps so left it on normal. I'm just not keen on the sunset lighting, doesn't fit the mood of the game for me.

I got this game last night, it hasn't hooked me like I thought it would.

I'm just having quick sessions here and there, the cover system I'm not sure about...right now I don't use it and just hide behind cover "the old fashioned method".

Best map is definetely grain elevator, by some margin actually. Had a go on a tank only server and that seemed quite fun might play that some more.

The best thing about the game is the satisfaction of lining up a kill with one of the rifles then nailing it.

Same thing that was best about ro1, so it definitely succeeds as being what you'd expect from the game imo.

All it does is change the contrast afaik, thats all it did in UT3.

Kosmiche · 19 Sep 2011 at 21:05

Also any poor performance is definitely down to the texture setting.

Tried it on medium and it flies. But its just too damn ugly.

I love it , bloom is overdone which is a shame as I normally like to have it on.

light shafts are ace reminds me of sun coming up on a frozen winters morning ( on the snowy map can't remember name)

Hi. Ro2 doesnt seem to save my settings such as keyboard mappings and graphics settings.

Now i have found a workaround where i manually create "J:\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Config" in order for it to create all the necesary ini files for me. The question is why do i have to do this everytime i do a reinstall? i also notice that the /Log folder is missing too so everytime i have a crash i cant find and locate the dmp files?

Is this because my documents target location is separate from the C: drive as you can see above and the fact that Steam folder is located in another seperate hdd/partition?

This is the only game that has this issues. i have many Steam games such as Fallout new vegas where all the ini files are all automatically created for me in j:/My games/ folder.

Any suggestions?

mehuk · 19 Sep 2011 at 21:26

So turn off bloom and on world war effects?

Ive everything on Ultra, no probs at all atm

The only thing its very glary if that makes sense, like the sun is beeming too much

Yosiah · 19 Sep 2011 at 22:00

I'm too scared to buy this because I doubt my PC would run it very well - after reading about people struggling with 6850's.

I only have an X4 965 and a 5850 1GB and 4GB Ram, which is good enough for most games - yet people are citing performance issues on even higher end hardware

LabR@t · 19 Sep 2011 at 22:08

5850 plays it on Ultra with a q9650 @3.6ghz @ 1920x1080

SPG · 19 Sep 2011 at 22:10

GTX 580 and a I5k @ 4.5 eats its up with everything on MAX. (apart from bloom, i hate it others love it)

As for the game

Marmite indeed.

One of the best games i have played in a long time.

mehuk · 19 Sep 2011 at 22:20

No issues at all on my rig.

Graphics are alright, better than i thought they would be - gameplay.... give or take atm, im learning, but sometimes it feels epic... others its like being in a team of rambos and no real point to it all.
