Well I took a look at that. I mean I am not having any real issues like the game crashing or anything. It is just the performance is lackluster. The textures mainly, it takes time to load them all. The patch is in the works and of course has to await approval from microsoft.

"A lot of the settings when I was originally putting them in were based off of what I could actually squeeze into system memory and video memory. In some cases we're just seeing 2 GB video cards come out now. That'd be the only way to really get the absolute highest settings. You don't have to put the game at the highest settings to play it. It seems like a lot of people want to. When we were designing it it was with the intent of having future growth with the game. "

You know... Just in case you are trying to run it at higher settings.

I am glad I didn't buy this game. I played for about 10 minutes last night....not impressed at all. Controls are not the greatest, but I guess that's when having a controller really helps. The graphics were not up to par for a PC version of this game. I was playing at 1280 x 1024 on high rendering and medium textures and it was pretty smooth except for the mild hitching but it could and should look better on the PC than on the 360. I also did not like the BS you had to go through in order to just install the damn thing let alone play it. I will give it some more time to rub off on me but my first impressions are unimpressive.

did you install the new nvidia driver that was released for the game this past week???

Nope, but I will now. I didn't even know they released a new driver for this game.

Mr.Tibbs · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:11:31 PM »

He meant a video driver. Not the patch for the game. But for the first time it bricked my system tonight. I couldn't believe that, luckily I save often.

I know it's a driver that's why I said

In reference to Dave saying nvidia released a new driver because of this game.

Well, Tibs and I tried to play a LAN game over Hamachi last night. We got to the point where we can see eachothers server running, but once it tries to connect, it just drops back to the server browser. If enough of us get this (legally or not), it would be a blast to play at lans!

Mr.Tibbs · « **Reply #23 on:** December 12, 2008, 05:07:10 PM »

Most definitely. I might also add that after we were done. I went back in after I closed hamachi to access my windows live account. Turns out it still read hamachi as the network adapter. So I had to get rid of the registry edit. And then it worked like a charm afterwards. And I did update my ATI drivers before we played, and I must say it is definitely getting better in the performance department.

Than it didn't brick did it? Bricking is thrown around way too much.

Started gaining popularity from PSP firmware days.
"A bricked PSP is one in which the firmware has been corrupted so that the PSP will no longer start up. It has, essentially, become a very nice-looking brick, suitable only for use as a paperweight. "

You can't ban the word "Bricking!"

So you must have meant definition number 5 (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bricking). As in, "While Tibs was having sex with his computer, it bricked a load onto his junk."
