For as long as we've waited and all the freakin' hype this is a major disappointment.
Sure I can play it at 1152x864 but why bother?
update: mid-30s at 1280x800 high but looks like crap on my lcd. Gonna try it on my crt I guess. But thinking I should just wait. All the other new games, demo or full, look incredible and run well maxed.
I downloaded the Demo @ over 1MB per sec and in about 20mins, i was ready to install the Demo. Once installed, i went into nHancer, set all on "Application controlled" but ive set Super AA.
Launched the Demo and boom. Right into it i felt. The Introduction video is amazing. Very immersive IMO.
Good god guys! This game is fantastic so far!
I ran it with all settings on Very High, 1920x1200, 4xAA and it ran but would give extremely low FPS...Heh
I've set everything on High with 1680x1050 and it was playable.
I'm running 1 8800GTX Oced @ 626Mhz\2000Mhz and a stock Q6600. Windows Vista Ultimate X64 :D
Such a freaking shame i don't have a freaking SLI mobo so i could Oc the hell outta my Q6600, Hook my Dual 8800GTX and play that freaking game maxed like madness! Ahhh!
i can't get fraps 2.9.2 to work :(
Should it just work like it usually does?
Ideas?
try the last version of fraps on vista. i couldnt get the new one to work either.
finished installing it an hour and a half ago and just finished playing through the demo(i like to take my time lol.)unfortunately its not really playable for me @ 1280x1024 everything high.i have to either drop to 1024x768 and keep the high settings or keep the 1280x1024 res and drop most settings to medium.
Ouch... what OC?Quote:

check your drivers or something.
I just meant that there's pre-order (which I can't play) and the public (which I can and did play) ...lost 5 hours there somewhere :confused:Quote:

It's sooo nice to actually hide behind a tree for once. :D
pos game, glad i didnt fall into the hype
farcry has a better performance/image quality ratio
everything on LOW except shaders and sound at Medium
the game was playing ok at high/med until the open area w/ trees and buidlings below
but the performance isnt the worse part of this disaster- it's the gameplay
the engine isn't bad, but slapping Far Cry and Splinter Cell together is as innovative as slapping Unreal Tournament with Battlefield 2
two quick questions, how can i know how many fps im getting, and also, does the demo finish when ever you get to the boat?
Performance is terrible I agree, but I still think it's really fun.Quote:

I just played around with it for a little bit with my outdated videocard (X1800 XL). @ 1600 x 1200 w/ 4AA, all med settings w/ exception to shaders being set to high... i got a whole 2-3 fps lol
leaving everything the same, and changing shaders from high to med gave me a min fps of 15 and in some areas went up to 25ish.. more so between 15-20fps.
Quad core CPU @ 3.6Ghz... Check
4GB of RAM @ 1Ghz... Check
Newest Chipset geared towards 3D... Check
8800GTX OC'ed to 700/2100Mhz... Check
Worlds most expensive slideshow... Check
Cant wait to buy this game in a year and a half to see what it really plays like.

well in that case i can play 1280x1024 everything high.its just that my idea of playable is 30+ fps at all times.btw nothing is overclocked atm.maybe thats the problem lol.Quote:

Blows my mind that some of you didn't enjoy it...here's a repost from my thoughts on another forum.
Ok, so the background sound's there just like Halo and Farcry before it. What I didn't expect tho was to hear the "buzzing bee" from Aureal 3d's sound demo from a bit back. When you walk over grass, you hear it behind you. Spin a little bit and oh...there's the subtle motion blur.
For added fun, pick up a red barrel w/ the flame on it and toss it over the ocean w/ maximum strength. Now shoot it w/ the pistol and watch in awe. This can also be done w/ the barrel in a truck parked in the hut. Walk 10 paces, turn and BOOM! The hut and truck blow up in about 20 pieces w/ lots of smoke and fire.
Picking up ammo, going down stairs, picking up boxes...all of it you'll see your hands actually go down and do it. There's no quick run over the box and your good. I had to use stealth to get behind the baddies, pick it up, then speed to get away. Now that I've got the ammo, it's time to hang back and watch them for awhile. Eventually one separates from the pack. He's on a hill, so I hit him w/ the tranquilizer bullet and watch the poor guy slowly slump and take a tumble. Now asleep @ my feet, I decide to wait for him to wake up...then I tagged him w/ the tranq in the melon and he slumps again.
Every load proved different. This is on hard, so I'm not sure how it'll play out on other levels, but they do not have strict paths. They have you...they hear you, they move towards you convincingly. Gone are the "instasnipers" from Farcry, these guys WILL NOT see you sneak up from behind a tree, bush, etc. Alright, that's enough. Stop reading now and go play this game!
Its smooth at 1600x1200 DX10 maxed for me, just gets alittle jerkey when you really wish it would not; combat. Playable? some would consider it.
Runs fine for me everything on max what a game by far the best game on the year! Was quite amazed how good the game ran with a 2900pro on stock!
same here.Quote:
