Has anyone decrypted yet? or is the proxy being hammered?

Mines finished, downloading what seems to be a patch now. 10 mins to go...

I'm glad to announce to bhavv that this game *can* eat more than 1GB vram at 1920x1200! Waiting for bhavv to blacklist this game or insist "silk-smooth" play!

harmony · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:32

SLI scaling is almost 0%. Vram usage slight above 1GB.

MrRoper · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:32

The whole 1gb VRAM thing is a red herring

at 1920x1080p my 570`s used 1.35gb in certain games
at 2560 x 14400 my 570`s used 1.35gb in the same games

Its almost as if the engine knows how much vram the cards have and tries to use as much as possible... who would have thought eh

Slightly annoying that I have the game here but can't even install it yet. Guess I'll just pre-load instead.

Yea, mines already up to 15% so its not bad, the games only 6 Gb too.

**** off Harmony.

It wont struggle to run on 1 Gb cards.

WTF? This game runs in DX9 mode? So it's the same engine as the Fallout: New Vegas?!

MrRoper · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:35

Stop moaning..and play it!!!

TheBigCheese · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:35

Well I've just pre-ordered mine from er...not sure I can say here...a high street game shop perhaps?

Anyway, £40 with reward points for the game and guide and I'll get cashback on that as well.

I'm not concerned with playing it on day one as I've got to finish Oblivion yet!

Shame I couldn't find the collectors guide anywhere.

CaptainRAVE · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:35

So people have remotely unlocked this? Think I will wait.

No. Its a new engine that uses DX9.

Simple.

neilo67 · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:42

hmm mine keeps crashing to desktop on start up

harmony · 10 Nov 2011 at 13:42

Apparently this is again another dual-core game which only uses 2 threads on the CPU.
