Starting to enjoy it a lot more now, maybe I judged it a little early.

Nice work with the shovel

Is anyone running this on a 2500k or heard how it runs on one? Rest of my system is 16GB ram and a 980ti, cheers.

Running the game with ultra settings on a 1440 monitor, it hasn't dipped below 65fps yet. Well chuffed

2500k mild o/c
16gb
Gtx 1070

Nice

I'll only be playing on 1080p so I should be ok, cheers

Least expensive place to pick this up dudes? I just had a look in the Steam Store and they want £49.99 for the standard edition. Eek!!!

Anyone tried the game with a dual core Pentium or Core 2 Duo, or even with a Pentium 4 / Athlon 64?

Digital X · 30 Mar 2018 at 18:44

From what I've read it won't even launch with a Dual Core.

Draeger, if you have 100 Uplay points exchange it for a 20% off code to use on the store.

Awesome! Thanks for the 'heads up' m8, just did exactly that, redeemed 100 points and downloading now. Can't wait!!!

I don't know why Ubisoft games are on Steam, and people get them on there, when they still need Uplay, you might as well just get them on Uplay.

I want to pick this up but I'm worried it won't run at 60 fps even on lowest (having an i5-2500k and a 2gb gtx 770). But I also don't want to spend £50 for the console version

same setup as you. same here. seen my gpu usage go as low as 50%. frametimes all over the place. cant maintain a minimum of 60fps.

Same! Well almost, I have a [email protected] and a 1080Ti, and the frame rates are all over the place! Dips below 60fps at 1440p all the time, what gives here?

The game word looks ok graphically, but outdated, and I can’t see why the game is running such low frame rates, especially since BF1 multiplayer on ultra settings runs waayyy smoother for me than this outdated looking single player title.

Weird thing is if i disable Hyperthreading the fps average is higher but i get lower dips from time to time. This game is really behaving weird on my setup and apparently yours too. Forgot to mention i play at 1440p as well. I can understand if haswell is bottlenecking a 1080ti a little bit.. but having gpu usage as low as 60% on a 4770K/4790k at 4,7ghz is just wrong by a long shot.

Can you not get it through Steam and refund it if you aren't happy with the performance?

shauncr91 · 30 Mar 2018 at 20:08

Put around 6hrs into the game today and am thoroughly enjoying it, possibly my favourite FC game of the lot although I have a big complaint that the first sniper rifle you get is far too OP. It 1 shots most enemies to the chest and it's turned a lot of base captures into just point and click games

I completely forgot about that!

Anyone up for a weekly themed map making contest?

khevolution · 30 Mar 2018 at 20:33

After deciding this morning to wait a couple of week and let the price drop, ive just buckled after learning about the 20% discount on Uplay, downloading now

Would be up for some map making, i have no artistic/creative flair what so ever but fancy giving it a go anyway

If you need a Samsung SSD or MVNE M2 you can get the standard edition for free which worth £40 at current pricing. But not with overclockers so you will have to shop around

Thinking of going down that route myself.

Draeger · 30 Mar 2018 at 20:44

Just picked it up with the 20% discount m8. Just installed it and played the first 5 mins or so.

I'm totally blown away so far, looks like the storyline and setting is gonna be a topper!!!

Digital X · 30 Mar 2018 at 20:48

Me neither khevolution. I was thinking of a town theme for the first one, but probably best I get the hang of the editor first, loads of bits and bobs in it.

Cromulent · 30 Mar 2018 at 21:02

I'm wondering if this worth getting for someone who doesn't play a lot of FPS games. Also, would you bother getting the gold version or stick to the regular version?
