Okay, id can officially go fuck themselves. No way I'm going to buy this at full price.

How dare you say anything negative towards id! You're supposed to blow your load at the thought of them!

Played for about a hour and the pop-in was just to much. I started feeling nauseous about 30 minutes in, not sure if it's the extreme pop-in or the FoV is just that bad.

Quick Look looked so damn good. Playing this on Nightmare from the get go. If i get good performance/they fix the issues, of course.

Agreed. Was literally mindblown by the quick look. This is definitely id's best work in terms of art direction, I'm so fucking proud to see them try out huge environmental areas in this game.

Does anyone know if you can unequip the scope you can buy from the store? I rather not have super zoom when using a pistol or a shotgun as you can imagine.

GAF I'm working hard, please help.

+set com_allowConsole 1

Set that as a launch property, gives use the dev console.

When in-game, open the console and use

listCvars

This gives us a list of all possible Cvars.

HELP ME HELP YOU.

So vt_singleStep is set to -1 by default, on 1 or 0 it seems to like kill the texture streaming. Thing is that means anything that is currently LOD down out of view stays that way, and if you load a save game it crashes.

I probably won't mess with it much more tonight since I'm tired but the entire vt_ subsection in cvars seems to be megatexture cvars.

Fucking RAGE, indeed. I'm not going to let this ruin my night anymore. I'll go read a book before bed instead of dealing with this bullshit texture pop-in, muddy textures, poor performance, and random crashing. The game seems like fun, but id certainly didn't give enough of a fuck to ensure I could enjoy it. I'm most angry that I actually went against my normal policy of generally never paying over $50 for a PC game, because, like Blizzard, I was willing to make an exception for id.

Dramatic, I know, but I certainly didn't expect id to betray PC gamers. Crazy.

Installing now from retail copy.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
XFX HD-687A-ZDFC Radeon HD 6870
Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive
Gigabyte Technology GA-MA780G-UD3H
Catalyst 11.9


Hope this works


UPDATE

The game was somewhat playable and sounds good. Sadly, I have that Metal Gear Solid 2 style glitching going on when I walk about and the occasional slide show screen tearing. Fortunately, I did not experience the N64 styled texture load issues yet one time I was autostraffing during a gunfight. Thankfully, I think the solid state drive and the 8gigs of RAM helped out in making the game somewhat playable. Please AMD/iD, fix this game!

I hardly call it that really. Id only start throwing that around if they fail to release a patch soon for people having the issues, wich, after release meltdown passed a bit, boils down to mostly ATI users.

I don't blame him. No quicksave hotkey on consoles! Haha.

Oh, I'm sure it will be patched eventually. Who knows how much will be fixed, though, and who knows when a patch will arrive. If I didn't pre-order and pre-load on Steam, I would have cancelled my order, too.

No point in paying console prices for a broken piece of software. Might as well wait for a few patches and pick the game up for a price that is discounted by $20 or more during a sale in the next few months.

It does, on the other hand, make sense to wait until they're actually patched and likely have a bigger discount on them. Why pay $60 when it'll be $30 by the time I'll be confident to play it?

Of course, I WOULD hope id could get this patched quickly, but even a week or two buffer can get you $10 or $20 off.

That's sure as hell what it feels like, and there's the problem with autodetecting in a nutshell.

GTA4 acted the same way with me at first - didn't recognize I had so much damn video memory so it assumed I had none. Wonderful.

I got a little farther into the game just to see. Tons of flickering, including people that just disappear entirely at times. Texture loading in the absolute first area was the worst I've seen but after that it comes and goes. Got far enough to run directly into the green shadows mess and my framerate is still crap. So yeah, not really playable.

What video options do the pc lot get?

I swear I saw a post that said there was no option to enable V Sync?

What the fuck is that all about?
Yep, no v-synch allowed. Even Bethesda support recommends forcing it through the video card. I tired and couldnt get it to work. Or, maybe it is but my game can't get to 60fps anyway.

Only options in the PC version are resolution, x2, x4 and x8 AA and brightness.

Yeah, it'll probably get patched, but you'd be insane to buy it at this state. Might as well wait for the patch and then buy it. One may run into sweet deals, too.

Edit: Beaten.

This game runs insanely smooth that my eyes hurt. Weird.

Yep!

Every now and then I play a game with so much damn fidelity, it actually starts to hurt my eyes!

Off of the top of my head the following games do this:

Killzone2/3
Uncharted1/2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadows
Lost Planet1/2

Please tell me there isn't an actual manual save system in the game that he simply ignored.
