I don't feel like fez is a game dependent on a higher frame rate. It's not like you are trying avoid latency in inputs or counting frames in the animation to like in a fighting game. I know the PC version runs at 58 FPS with the occasional dip. I can't run fraps on my 360 so I can't tell you what the average FPS is on the 360.

I bought it again and it looks really nice on a monitor, and I'm enjoying playing it again. Wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale though.

Well, I just picked this up, and as I am sensitive to framerate, immediately noticed that it was juddering (from the very first menu), like it's almost 60fps but not quite. For many it would be unnoticeable, but for me it's a constant distraction and I have no desire to play it like this.
I google 'fez stutter', and find this topic:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/224760/discussions/0/828937546146648542/#p1
So it seems I am not alone. A user called CruelToot apparently made a DLL to address this, but the link is dead.
Can anyone help?

Ah. Turns out this fix was added into a patch. I just had to add "--force-60hz" into the Steam launch options and now it's allll smoooth.
Yay!
Yay!
It's not perfect though. For users with 120hz monitors, -force-60hz runs the game at double speed.
It is still a mystery.

OK, so it seems I´ve hit a wall in this game.
I think I´ve collected everything I could.
There is one thing I can interact with and one giant area where there was nothing I could do.
Can someone point me towards a solution or a site that might help without spoiling the entire game?
Thank you!

Bell Tower - no clue... The area behind the 8 cubes door - no fucking clue.

I need a hint!
In this room (I'm assuming just this image doesn't really spoil anything)
EDIT: Never mind! I'm an idiot!

I know what shape each direction/rotation/jumping makes but can't... do anything in this room. I've tried recreating that line of shapes backwards, upside down, from the top, from the bottom, from the side... What gives?
EDIT: Never mind! I'm an idiot!
Bought it today and played a bit...
The problem is that this bastard is terribly windowboxed with black bars when I play it in full screen at 1680x1050 resolution: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/136089780/2013-07-25_00001.jpg
I tried all the other possible resolutions too but they're all windowboxed, 1366x768 had the smallest bars: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/136089780/2013-07-25_00002.jpg
Any way to fix this to fill the screen?
Update:
Nevermind, I messed with my monitor and GPU settings, now it scales to fill the screen when I play it at 1280x720.

Second day I've been playing this and man am I hooked. This game is amazing, filled with great design. I'm up to 27 light cubes. Some random musings concerning all the weird stuff:
In short, this game
I love it SO much though. I got home from work, started playing a bit and poof, it's midnight. I'm completely drawn into the world.
- No idea how to deal with the code language for now but I guess that will come.
- Same with the treasure maps.
- I've collected one of those artifacts (writing?) and I'm clueless so far what the use is.
- Some rooms have treasure chests that are way out of reach, and there seems to be no way to get that high. Hmmm
- Talked to a few owls spouting cryptic language. They fly away, game saves. I have encountered an owl statue saying 'find the owls' or something, so I guess I'll keep searching for them.
- Then there's the really weird stuff. In one area it got dark and suddenly I could see a golden door outline like the mines of Moria! Couldn't open it though. And in this same area, I entered a random ('correct') LT/RT combo and got one of those dark cubes out of nowhere. WHAT

Argh. I have
, and I'm stuck. In the
, why am I missing
, and why do I have
I'm pretty sure
I tried to cheat by
... but still nothing.
Any hints? I was hoping to beat it without help, but these last couple are really killing me.
2 negative cubes left
boiler room at the start of the game
input #3
#13 (the one you find with the glasses)?
I'm pretty sure
I figured out how to count properly.
trying every possible input for 3
Any hints? I was hoping to beat it without help, but these last couple are really killing me.

So how much of this game devolves into deciphering? I think I just started getting into those puzzles and I really don't care for it. The platforming was good but this, not so much.
playing the steam version which i bought during the winter sale.
played the xbla version when it came out.
kinda stuck now i think.
there are this pillars with emblems on them.
you have to press controller buttons to make it work.
where do i find out, what the symbols mean?
not too many spoilers please.

Tetris-shaped symbols?
Hint:
One of the classrooms in the game shows how to read those symbols. From there, you have to figure out which input the symbol corresponds to. It's not hard to guess, and you should give it a try in that room.
Location:
The classroom is in the 8 cube door area (looks like a dark, rainy city).
i'm lost as fuck and don't know what I'm doing anymore. But I sure have a lot of shiny cubes
gonna trawl the thread
/edit okay, could anyone give me a non-spoilery hint as to where to begin deciphering... well... anything? And I mean, like, where to BEGIN. I don't even know what the tetronimos mean in the post a few posts above.
/edit got me a dogfox cipher. Hopefully that jumpstarts me...
