About LinkBacksIs it worth me even trying with my setup?
As Good as You'd Hoped it Would Be
Hugely disappointed With IT
Not A Bad Game But Nothing New
Is it worth me even trying with my setup?
maybe, you can play at 800 x 600 at low/med.
Well I am downloading it now. Maybe it will be the reason to buy a new Vid Card what would you recommend or would switching to DDRII make much difference?
Playing at 1650 x 1050
Good graghics settings and no-issue with low frame rates.
Downloaded the new beta drivers before i started though.
Seems like an outstatnding game so far
That's odd. I've got an 8800gtx, e6750 and 2gb ram and it runs fine with all high settings @ 1680*1050. I'm running XP too.Originally Posted by PTP400
I found that overclocking your card helps.
On an 8800gts 320mb to start with I was struggling to get it to do anything at 580/850. 1680x1050, all med settings, no AA (DX10 mode). 15-20fps.
Then overclocked to 684/1053, now can run it with things on high except textures which I leave on medium quite smoothly.
Also runs nicer in dx9 as well, not surprisingly. Although the gameplay is nothing special, I don't think I'll be buying the game. I can see it much more as something for benchmarking dx10 cards against each other, definitely.
Make sure you try turning AA off, it doesn't seem to work well at all on dx10 (seems to half fps for every increment of AA - and at 1680x1050 you can't notice 'jaggies' that much anyway)
What i want to know is how Crytek have all these videos of in-game fottage with max settings and it's playable. They said it was developed on the 8 series, so what the hell is going on.
Drivers. That's what's going on.
Simply put, to get the game running as you've seen the Crytek boys doing, they had custom coded drivers.
Hell, it was only the morning of the first showing of Crytek at Leipzig this year that they got the DX10 version going under Vista.
To put it perhaps a bit cruelly and bluntly, Vista and the guys supposedly coding drivers for it just aren't ready for gaming in the OS... it's way to unstable and system hungry.
Want some sensible advice? Do a google on how to install XP on a partition and go to dual boot and enjoy your games stable in XP and still have that Vista install for when DX10 and the driver support actually works.
I can't be bothered to install XP aswell, i could partition my drive but i'm fine with Vista for the moment.
I think i need to learn how to hack, then hack crytek and get me some drivers
I got it running on my PC (see 'My System' on the left) okish at 1152x720 and all low settings, so you'll be able to run it, but don't expect too muchIs it worth me even trying with my setup?
It runs smoothly at 1280*1024 with everything at medium and no AA (minimum 31 fps) on my X1950 XTX, and it looks very nice. I am using the latest ATI drivers.
However if I turn on AA or put the settings to high, then it becomes almost unplayable.
Beside that the game is good fun, reminds me a lot of far cry.
What a load of old pony.
Far Cry...thats it.
THe best looking games (which this obviously is) are always the most disappointing as far as gameplay is concerend. (BF2 apart)
All i can say is thanks god for the demo as its saved wasting £35 on the retail version.
I thought it was a good demo, albeit a bit buggy. I had to use the 32 bit version on my 64 bit vista as the 64 one wouldn't get past the start up movies. Other than that, I think it's looking to be a great game.
I seem to remember someone saying that this game would run on a non-new rig. After playing the demo, I'm not quite sure on that. Although, I don't think the graphics are bad, or need a stupidly excessively powerful PC to play it. The way I see it is that this game should last a while longer after release, and with each hardware advance will come another graphics advancement in the game.
I did try playing on the low settings for a bit, and although it did look like utter poo, it also ran like a dream.
I'm looking forward to release tbh
FYI, my settings were on Mid with my 8800GTS, 6600 core 2 Duo and 4GB ram. Would running the 64 bit version have helped with the settings, assuming it worked?
Well I was running at textures and physics high the rest on medium and it was smooth enough at 1280x960. But the demo reminded me of Soldier of Fortune after the novelty wore off. I think I will stick with Project Reality, now that is a real FPS.I got it running on my PC (see 'My System' on the left) okish at 1152x720 and all low settings, so you'll be able to run it, but don't expect too much
Project Reality : Battlefield 2 Mod

I only buy games when they are £15 or less these days. This allows my mid to upper mid equipment to handle (yesterday's) game at glorious resolution and settings. I could technically make an exception to certain genre that aren't too demanding, but to be honest, I've got quite a lot of games I've yet to finish.
farcry started off on an island too didnt it?
