I'm currently downloading it to my office laptop just for shits 'n' giggles, I don't expect much, it's rocking an integrated Intel GMA X4500 series GPU... it would however be kind of hilarious if Munch was playable and crash free on this thing when it won't work on my gaming desktop at home.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
So the game works fine on my rig. HOWEVER, my rig is far above normal.
Core i7 920 @ 3.8
Evga 480 in SLI
12 gigs of ddr3 ram
Get 60 on average but it dips down whenever there is a text overlay on screen. Still, with my rig, I should be getting 200 fps, not 60. So, damn shame on the port.

Are you talking SW or Munch's Odyssey?

Yup, Munch's Odyssey just crashed in the first room with my ATI card. It's definitely an issue with ATI cards.
Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
Think it might have something to do with Catalyst AI being enabled? Stranger runs fine for me, aside from the sub 30 framerate, having to mess with the ini for a custom res, and having strange dots making up the water.
But Munch on the other hand performs the way i'd expect Stranger to run...except I cant get out the first room without crashing :lol
Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2ghz
Windows 7 64 bit
Radeon HD 4870 1GB
4GB ram
EDIT: My stance on the matter is i'm fully confident that Munch and Stranger will get patched up performance, resolution, and gamepad wise...and that we'll get the redone graphics for Stranger as well. Its just I dont want to wait too long for the patches to do so (aside from the graphics upgrade). Of course theres still the matter that the games shouldnt have been rushed out as people would've still bought them for normal price if they performed as they should have.
As far as mouse controls go...well options are nice, but i'd think you would want to play all 4 games with a gamepad.
And besides, if it was an emu, you'd still be able to choose resolutions and AA...at least thats what I thought from looking at other last gen system emulators.

If it was any other game I'd say this thread was actually better than the product we were expecting.

Huh?
Teknoman said:
No clue, the card I tested it on was a x1650 which I think they no longer have driver support for. Do you know when Catalyst AI was added?
Just tried it on my laptop with different ATI card and it skill crashes in the first room after disabling Catalyst AI so it can't be that.

Turn off the Catalyst AI option.

Can you explain this more? I disabled catalyst AI under my settings and it still crashed in the first room for me.
This is what you're talking about right? Because it still crashes for me in the first room with that disabled.boutrosinit said:
I'm hoping. I already put in one on their contact support form.ZombieSupaStar

open tickets on steam asking for refunds, Ive did it before, they aren't guaranteed but if you present a decent argument, I've never had an issue.
Im sure they are getting more than a few over this release anyways. :lol

I believe so. If it's still not running, mail the specs to Stew.
He posted that workaround in the first post in the Steam thread:

Is his email just the infoATjawltd.com or something like that? Because I've been emailing that with my troubleshooting results thus far. Do you work for JAW?

How did someone at their studio not stand up and say "This just isn't close to something we can release."? Maybe they did and got shot down by this CEO, who frankly is an embarrassment to his company.
He's lost any future sales from me, that's for sure.
Releasing a game in this state is one thing. It sucks for us and I'm sure it will hurt their sales. It would make me hesitate before buying anything with their name on it in the future until I hear community reviews.
His handling of the situation is what will keep me from purchasing anything from them, ever. Hopefully this will stop publishers from using them on future {EDIT: PC projects, where they clearly don't belong} projects.

Their CEO has a warped sense of humor and I suspect he was posting things in half-jest to deal with the stress he was under. Still, it came across as prickish and that's nothing but bad in the end. I hope this sets some kind of precedent for developers in similar situations that are doing these "HD" remakes. If you're not upgrading the textures and models like JAW is doing with the future version of Stranger, then at least aim for 1080p60 as a minimum, especially on the PC.

How do you know? What card do you have?
Du2andal said:
Hmm, first one I've heard of it happening on Nvidia. I'll try with my macbook tonight that has a Nvidia chip also to see if that crashes for me. It crashes to desktop and says Munch.exe has stopped responding for you?

I opened a ticket on Steam for a refund, with the following explanation:
I'll let you know as soon as I get a resolution, one way or another.

Nvidia, it's not related to any card in particular, it's really just a lousy port.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:

I still can't get over the fact that with a Phenom X3 and a 4850 I get 12fps at 1400x900.. That's just godawful man..

It is. With the 'at' replaced by '@' of course.
I've been helping Oddworld / JAW on various bits here and there. Helped promote the game with press releases and setting up all the community gifts, soundtrack promo and so forth.
Definitely did not expect this to happen. I've been friends with Stewart and Lorne for a very long time. They're not swindlers - far from it.
Everyone on the team is shocked and working very hard to rectify these issues. Stew will probably post an update on the Oddworld site or Steam forums regarding getting a patch out VERY soon, so check it later.

Hey Zaraki_Kenpachi, thought you might be interested to know... I loaded up Munch on my laptop with the integrated Intel GMA X4500 GPU, and sure enough, the game craps out just the same as it does on my gaming desktop at home.
That's a pretty wide spectrum of hardware that this junk doesn't work on!
