Normally us Euros have to wait another 3-4 days
P.S. You can unlock now from anywhere in the world using Aussie VPN.

Hopefully there will be an HD texture pack (sans texmod) released in the relatively near future...
So what's the verdict on V-Sync? I've heard that turning on 'Lock Framerate' forces the game to use V-Sync at 30 FPS. I'm one of those silly comfy couch PC gamers and I really want to play this game at 60 FPS with no tearing. I'm not a big fan of Adaptive V-Sync. Can anyone with an Nvidia card please test out control panel V-Sync to see if the game is capped at 60 FPS with no tearing (similar to Dead Space)? Thanks in advance.
Since the refresh rate is faster than the frame rate, the tears are going to be far less noticeable than the opposite. (120Hz for me)

lol europeans usually have to wait a few days more, all you have to wait is a few hours. Relax

Solidarity in mid-range rigs! Mine was OK with the Witcher 2 after some judicious changing of graphics options, so hopefully this will be fine.
Additionally Dishonored ran fine with forced supersampling, so my unscientific comparison equals success
Unless they're doing something weird, it should unlock at 9pm for you. It's midnight EST.
edit: At least in CST the east coast release stuff opens at 11pm.
I just leave vsync off now ever since I got a 120 Hz monitor.
Heh, I stopped after 45 minutes because I started to feel queasy. Guess I'm still too much accustomed to third person perspective games.

Same except 144Hz, got the monitor a week ago and everything is so much smoother
Turn on Adaptive V-sync through Nvidia Inspector.
I watch those previews and all I can think about is why a human is moving around like a tank. Totally breaks immersion.

How's mouse keyboard. Toggle for iron sight. Disable mouse smooth. All that jazz?
I get 60fps most of the time.

But in reality can you actually feel that ~16% frame boost? Try some a/b tests to be sure it's not placebo. I can see the usefulness in 3d gaming but not in normal mode.

Apparentely there isn't any HD texture pack. I believe the textures are already on the steam download. They look great to me.
Damn. Hoping these are good enough then.
You guys don't play any first-person shooters?
There are low-res textures all over the place, but this is one of the best looking games I've ever played. I honestly can't get over it.
there has to be a way to change it right? in the ini maybe.

Getting some stuttering here too. Sucks.
Yeah good art can easily make up for low res textures, and judging from Sesslers review and some screenshots I've seen on here, this game most certainly has good art.
How good is the IQ on it? I'm in the market for a 120hz/144hz monitor.

I highly doubt it looks any different. but I came from a 60Hz HD TV to this so it looks extremely smooth in comparison. Compared to 120Hz I'd say you wouldn't see a difference at all. The monitor was just the same price as 120Hz ones so I went for it instead
it's fine, not the best and out of the box it's vomit inducing. but after tweaks it leveled out nicely. It's obviously worse than a proper say 1440p monitor but it does the job. If IQ is really really important to you then I'd recommend monitors for that. But I really wanted smooth images as I got headaches on my TV after long periods of trying to focus on stuttery camera pans. I also wanted it for FPS games.
120Hz is an amazing thing
You will if your frames are greater than your refresh rate.
Same concept as a 60HZ monitor, but doubled.

Yep, FAR less tearing now for me. And the 1ms response time makes things super easy to control.
And yeah what Grief said, if your frames get too high the effect can come back but overall it's far less noticeable
You will needed if ur frames goes up 120.
dam this blows 6770 wont be able to handle this game I dont get why not an xbox and ps3 are wayy worse than my computer.
The only way that would happen is if you are playing a really old game, or if you have a powerful rig.

I posted my log on the Guru3d SweetFX thread. Apparently some people have been able to get it to work so I'm trying to figure out what's different
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
How does this run on an E8500 and GTX285?
More like Bioshock 1 or 2? The first run great most of the time, the second not so much, for no reason.
Just curious if it's even worth trying before I build the new PC which should be any day now, maybe even tomorrow.

That's what I want to know. I'm good not forcing much, if anything. But fuck that post process AA bullshit.

Turn down the Shadow settings drastically and Downsample the fuck out of it. That's what I'm doing on a 590, which benchmarks very similarly to the 680.
