i wasn't aware newer video cards were more susceptible to causing glitches

well you know how it is i can beat people to death with my good old nokia 3310 and even drenched in the blood of innocents IT STILL WORKS but one of those fucking touchphone things will fucking suffer from severe malfunctions and breakdowns from but the slightest hint of moisture anywhere on its surface

anyway the point is it's probably microsoft's fault

Sinitron · October 4, 2011 10:27 PM

probably

The more advanced the device, the more complex, and therefore more likely to fail. This is a general rule within science and technology.

Other than these rather lame tweets from Carmack, there's still no sign of a patch, and he's leaving it in Nvidia/ATI's hands. He must be bleeding more sales than EA/DICE at this point!

personally i've had better experience with modern technology than i did with older shit back at the beginning of the century, but that might just be me. sure, there's more room for failure, but everything is designed much better than it used to be. i mean, i'm running an i7 lynnfield oc'd to 4ghz on win7 x64 with an hd4850 for 2 years now and the only time i had a bsod was caused by me and not a general failure.. but 10 years ago win ME would just randomly freeze whenever it felt like it.

i have a 6970 and with the emergency rage drivers the game runs subpar. the texture popping happens all the time when i look from side to side, and every frame is torn to shit

apparently ATI cards have a harder time running it in the first place

still waiting for the euro unlock

my friend says the game is fun and the textures are alright, if odd, when out in the open but really fucked up when indoors or in dungeons

he has the same graphics card as me so with some luck it will run fine, im not too worried about nauseating visuals as long as it runs without a hitch

honestly the worst thing about the game is the mouse acceleration. there's no way to use hardware mouse.

cipher · October 6, 2011 01:32 AM

you should be able to just turn mouse acceleration off for your pc in general if it's an issue

no

OK GUYS I JUST WOKE UP AND IT'S UNLOCKED TIME TO SEE IF CARMACK'S MAGGOT-INFESTED DICKY HAS BRED A SOLID PRODUCT

Sinitron · October 7, 2011 11:36 AM

runs fine for me, i sometimes get random black tears across the menu screen and the textures are kind of bad + the texture popin thing that everyone hates but it runs fine with no lag, crashing or other reported problems

hell even the texture popin thing isnt even that noticable for me, nowhere near as fucked up as some of the YT clips that have shown up, it's definitely worse when inside though, while driving you don't notice it at all

Sinitron · October 7, 2011 12:44 PM

ragdolls are a little dodgy too but WEREN'T THEY ALWAYS?

Sinitron · October 9, 2011 12:56 AM

it got patched, the textures are now heavily unfucked and it looks a lot better, i still get the black tearing on the main menu (but who cares) and slight texture popin but overall it's been heavily improved with the addition of the texture cache

Gladius · October 9, 2011 07:23 AM

Goody

Gladius · October 12, 2011 01:41 PM

Just got my copy in the mail. Pretty good, pretty good... Apart from the goddamn textures.

I'm not even sure what this game is, but the problems with the hardware doesn't seem to be the case. A majority of the time, issues like this tend to fall on the side of the developers of the game, rather than the hardware that's rendering (that is, of course, if your hardware is up to specs). Just looks like a bad case of poor coding to me. They're probably working on a patch for that right now.

EDIT: And compatibility with video cards, forgot to mention that. But seeing as how it works better with old tech...

Gladius · October 12, 2011 06:40 PM

I'm just a little crestfallen that the 20GB required for installation seems to have gone into graphical quantity rather than quality

they already patched a lot of the problems and at least nvidia put out a beta driver update which helps alleviate some problems

if you use ATI though you're pretty much a faggot in the eyes of every developer ever and they don't give a shit about you
