Not really. I exceed the minimum just a tad and I'm doing alright. Not great, but the problem is more with ATI cards it seems. And possibly the framerate in general because of coding rather than the computer running it.Nocebo said:I'm getting a little worried about these performance issues on PC. I should exceed the minimum requirements just a tad but if people with recommended specs are having issues? I'm pretty much fucked right?

"Thank you sir. How on earth did you figure that out, lol."
I didn't, I'm idling in a brink IRC channel trying to figure out how I can get my actual performance out of the game.

Already set up my return on Amazon. As soon as UPS drops it off I'll stick it in an envelope and ship that bitch back.

Yeah, actually I do.
Here are some shots. Using an e8400, 4gb ram, w7 32bit, and a 6870 and getting 30fps max with everything maxed out at 1920x1080. The game does not look that great to only be 30fps. I should mention that I have vsync off and it looks like the game is using TAA. There is this ghosting effect whenever you move.

Yikes, glad I cancelled my pre-order last week. I'll keep my eye out for improvements, but I'll probably use my "Brink money" on Infamous 2 which actually keeps looking BETTER with each new video unlike what was happening with Brink.

Jeez . . . I feel sorry for the PS3 people that wanted to get Brink to play multiplayer.

I guess it'll take a while for there to be some user generated performance tweaks given that id tech 4 isn't as familiar a trodden path as the Unreal engine...?
I've been able to join through a few matches now that have been relatively stable experiences and was able to complete the mission. Still learnign tthe layout of the levels and trying to figure out to properly utilise the classes. I just kind of change on the fly as needed. It's starting to get a little more fun as people get a feel for how to play.
One thing that kind of bothers me though is that the campaign isn't a persistent experience. You complete a match and get disconnected from the server. You don't get to play with or against the same group of people in the next stage of the campaign. It would be nice if there were servers with a rotation that you could just hop in and out of.

I don't think so, no, but this is especially bad for a game that had a lot of hype around it.
This is the first time I've ever done this.

Because I can't return it if I open it.
I'll take my chances knowing what I know and save a chunk of change.

Gave this a run tonight - got persuaded by a few friends to pick it up with the D2D deal.
Game is fun but holeeee shit there are some crazy issues that is INSANE to have gotten past testing.
Played in a server with a friend (he created the match) and when other people joined the lag became impossibly unbearable. This was with just 6 players. It was pretty much fine just us two but he did say that the game took a performance hit with him hosting.
Secondly, the server browser is atrocious. No filter to check whether a server is dedicated or not? Really? Also, when refreshing the server list the game stutters like mad for some reason. And who's idea was it to have the background of the server list be transparent? It makes it so hard to read and focus when shit is flying by all the letters.
This one is hilarious.
I managed to get into a server with 15/16 players and low ping (after many... many timeouts to other servers) and after about 30 seconds of awesome gameplay my sound completely disappeared except for light ambient noises. Suddenly - it started happening to everyone else too. No sound for ANYONE in the server - even after a map change the sound didnt come back. I went to go look like one of the enemy team members using the spy ability and my game crashed to desktop. The End.
To be honest, the game looks like it would be fun - I LOVE sliding around a corner or leaping over a rail and blasting a dude. But sweet jesus murphy this is probably worst than the Black Ops PC port.

Knew the game would be good, but the PC performance issues are lame. Just got another gaming laptop today so I'm on the fence about buying this until they're solved (back in AMD's camp)...

You should realize from his twitter he's "invested" for some reason on how the game scores.

If he's "invested" in how well it scores than why didn't he give it a higher score?

It's not a New Vegas level screw up is it?
So essentially the game seems to play well but is a bit broken at the moment?
I hate it when games come out like this. Granted, they are usually fixed within a few weeks, but a developer does not deserve full price funds from me for releasing something that isn't ready.
I'm probably going to pick this up down the track a little bit when things have been cleaned up a bit.

This is exactly what was appealing to me about this game, the idea of being an acrobat while fighting really appeals to me. I love Mirror's Edge and have been looking forward to an FPS that has these features so that you can use the levels and world to your advantage (if you're smart about it, you can dominate).
Really hope they fix it up soon because I'll definitely jump in if they do.
I will probably jump in sooner than that even if they don't.
Steam price is $45 right?
Either way, I get my next week of money on Thursday so I'll probably end up grabbing it on Thursday

Went back on to try out the server someone posted in here and kept getting timed out
Went to try a challenge and I got the blue fog bug and now the game is pretty much unplayable. Hurray!

How fucked up is it that Section 8: Prejudice is more fun to play than this. Biggest $50 mistake I've made since GRAW on PC.

I spent my entire summer in 2010 playing Transformers: War for Cybertron multiplayer which was, by all accounts, as messy as this game is shaping up to be. And it was my favorite multiplayer experience of this generation by far, despite constant lag issues and terrible perk/weapon balance. So I've had experience with loving multiplayer titles with small player bases that didn't get great review scores
All that to say that I'm not scared by the negative reviews. Bring it on! The game still looks to be offering what I want (in theory), and as long as I can find GAFers to pub-stomp with, I'll be happy.
