I don't know. Neither I, my brother or 2 of my friends experience any stuttering. In fact, we we're all surprised over how well it ran.
I tried to sign in using my existing account (made it earlier in the year, apparently) but received a server error message, and the log-in screen hasn't returned since. I don't know if it's a bug or a result of the game silently signing me in during the initial loading screen.

V-Synch won't stick, even when forced, so I get some fluid motion on the walls but not quite tearing. Resolution is fine at 1080 on my TV. Death in the inventory screen is jaggied out to hell though. No shadow problems. Running 100-120 fps according to RadeonPro, even with forced v-sync and triple buffering.
So far I'm not impressed at all with PC tweaking options, but the game itself seems great. Fluid combat (with nice combo transitions when swapping weapons mid-attack), Prince of Persia 2008 traversal (including recovery from falls), and some lootstuffs and skills. Music is epic and inspiring and the art design is exactly what I want. Death's voice is perfect too, so all in all a good time.
Tomorrow I'll truly sink my teeth into this.

I assume the reason why it isn't sticking is because of Steam Cloud. I've had problems with it and configuration before.

After the initial annoyances with the resolution change I am really having a blast. I love the atmosphere and the music in this game. Death is awesome and I like his voice, in fact all of the character design is great so far. Also loving the loot system. Except WTF at the terrible low res version of Death in the inventory screen

Also, the shadow problem only happens in the ice shader it seems.
Shadows appear correctly on other types of grounds.

Ahhh, good point. Probably not syncing changes right.

Sounds like my experience, love the loot system and animations but I feel like its still missing a hires pack like sleeping dogs
Why would they lie to their fans? That's a lame thing to do.
Well...the game never goes under 100fps which is great...except that I have v-sync on and it's never going under 100? lol... I'll try to force it through inspector tomorrow. Other than the the game is fun but I hope we'll be able to fix some of graphical stuff like blocky shadows and lack of AA...
Looks like it's gonna be a fun game (as expected) but it looks like a terrible and shitty PC port (again, as expected).

This game is lots of fun
Could they be located elsewhere maybe? I don't know if Steam games put them in the User folder sometimes.
The user folder just has my saves and nothing else.
Try here
C:\Users\Forrest\AppData\Local\Darksiders
This is where I found some Darksiders 1 settings

+10 to holding left trigger when straddling beams to lean out before jumping. Every damn game with hanging beams kills me because I'll end up jumping while twisting around and miss my mark. Its a small thing, but appreciated.
Also +10 to insta-steed capabilities. Awesome touch.

So use triple buffering or don't use it?
Hm, using D3Doverrider causes really bad stuttering. I also tried forcing it and then disabling it through Nvidia drivers but I get some really weird hitching with both options when moving the camera. It's like I'm playing at 30fps even though fraps says 60fps. Also, Death looks like a sprite in the inventory screen lol. Besides that, everything else looks fine.
I doubt they lied about it, if they were going to cut the feature out it wouldn't make sense to leave a folder called config in the game directory but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Just encrypted files. Including the options one.

But what are your settings right now? Are you playing with D3DOverrider disabled, v-sync off?
Well shit. I'll be extremely disappointed if there really isn't a config file.

I enjoyed the last 1.5 hours a great deal. I'll hate them when I get up in 3.5 hours for work.
The biggest problem I have so far is the game getting stuck on the gray cloudy screen anytime I pause and unpause it. Anyone else have this issue? I have an Nvidia card (gtx580) and have the setting on "let application decide". This is making the game next to unplayable.

So where is this weapon for us preorder types are supposed to receive? I already redeemed that weapon from the Facebook page Like.
Yeah, I have all V-sync off now and gonna try messing with the frame limit settings in Nvidia Inspector. When I first launched the game it was pretty smooth but the frames were unlocked (jumping around 70 - 85) and had terrible tearing.

Just picked up my PS3 version from Gamestop.
Some dude was dressed up in like.. goth clothes, and had a scythe crafted out of Gamestop boxes. Was freakin' hilarious. Loved it.

Download MSI Afterburner. Start the OSD Server and add the Darksiders 2 exe to it. Hit the settings button and tell it to limit the game to 60fps. Then, force Vsync through Inspector. It runs without a hitch for me and I'm forcing 2xSGSSAA.

Someone above said you get it from someone in the game. Don't expect a popup etc apparently.
Installing to the Xbox 360 hard drive reduces load times (minimal, but still there). Visual tearing happens ocassionally regardless of install or not. It is minor, but it is there.
Season pass contains three items. 60 day and 90 day DLC (dungeons) and one armor set.
My first playthrough of Darksiders II (not rushing, sticking mostly to main quest, exploring when things looked interesting though purposefully skipping some side quests) clocked in at almost exactly 25 hours of game time on the dot.
It is most certainly present in the 360 version. Minor, but present. Haven't spent a whole lot of time with the PS3 version, but the short bit I did see looked similar.
Crucible is on-disc, but you need to input the code to download the unlock file.
Correct. Review embargo for all official media is 9am Pacific / Noon Eastern.
If you're showing the other two in your account, then you have them. It's possible that the first key was a bundle key. Hang onto all emails to be sure, but if Steam says you own the content, you own the content.

I got 84c and only played an hour... :| fuck this fucking crysis 2 runs at 70c.... shame.
The chances of that happening are somewhere between 0 and 0.0001.
Congratulations, you guys made an amazing sequel and I can't wait to play more. But please take note of all the PC port issues that people are having in this thread.

You get the Mace Maximus and the Your Van Der Schmash but it says you will receive your codes "when they are available".
WTF!!!!!

Wait! There are items you get for the achievements you had in the 1st game?
I preordered thru GMG and no it is not listed.....yet anyway. It does state this in the Steam store for the preorders though "when it becomes available after launch."

Thanks tragic. Please try to say something about the so called config file that was going to be available for those who like to change more settings.
Besides that, amazing looking game.
SPOILERS: There isn't one.

Are you having transparent sun that sticks in front of everything when enabling AA? Easy to check in the beginning of the game, just look at it and see if it Death can hide it with his own body.
Also, how are you applying SGSSAA?
