the game uses a shocking 112 MB of VRAM @1080p lol... and there's no .ini file or anything to bump that value like we could in Bioshock, seriously the GPU clock throttles down to 300 MHz and memory to 150 MHz same as I was reading some text document... so seems like the CPU does all the job here.. there's no excuse this game won't run on integrated GPU's, lazy port. Hitching/stuttering look hard-coded, a "feature" from the 360 version code, don't think we will see that fixed.

Anti-cubes are purple, normal cubes are yellow.
You'll know when you find one. Generally you have to do something special to get one to appear.

Anybody else getting loading times from hell? When i enter a house it takes about 15 seconds, and when i leave a house it takes over a whole minute.
It really disturbs the gaming experience. I have 6 GB RAM by the way.
Besides that the game runs fine so far.

Oh well that would explain it.
I experienced it for the first time on the PC, and had the experience I think you're wishing you had.

I had this experience twice, once differently if you see what I mean.
Making me really curious now. Guess I'll have to get home to find out for myself what this is referring to.
I have a hunch it's one of those Arkham Asylum / pre-Scarecrow-fight moments.
Installing now, never played the 360 version.

It's officially time for people like you to leave the thread. The game is out, let us play it fresh.
There is nothing worse then watching a movie with someone who's seen it and they sit behind you giggling going "oh man, this part is so cool, man you're going to love it". It's the same with games. Just shush.
I just found my second, again completely accidentally while I was trying to solve what I thought was another puzzle.
That's no fun ;____;

Question: Does the game run fullscreen or do you have black borders everywhere?
Anyone else getting an issue where they can't continue a saved game? I've made about an hour and a half of progress, exited to game, and start it back up only to see the continue game option grayed out. The slot itself has my completion percentage marked, but all I can do is start a new game. I've seen the red cube save indicator plenty of times while playing, so why can't I resume? I've tried copying my save to other slots, but still no dice. Anyone else having this problem? What the hell is going on?
what's that split-second message in Chinese displaying every time I boot the game ? this port is hysterical seriously.
I know, 360 was proper stutter, as big stutter really, PC version is constant hitching, like 8 bit scrolling on MSX computers. Also if you try to force v-sync in the Catalyst/Nvidia drivers the game starts tearing instead of hitching, funny.

I was just about to pull the trigger on this, but now that I am hearing about technical issues...
I've played for 2 hours and no glitches/crashes. It runs flawlessly.
The game crashed for me until I forced it to not use the integrated graphics card.
<3
That thing in AA was fucking awesome. And scary too. I can only begin to imagine what Xbox owners must have felt in that moment.
I managed to continue after experiencing 2 crashes to desktop just fine. I don't know what could be happening to you, maybe try disabling Steam Cloud.
Any reason some secret doors with symbols will open (the symbol glows) and others don't?
Also after seeing the big super cube at the start and that symbol dialogue
or are most people just trying to dash straight to the end of the regular game right now?

I get what the Idle Thumbs guys meant by there being a secret alphabet or whatever. Anyone got any clues as to how to even get started on it
I'm running it fine in 1920x1080 on a low end laptop, strangely enough. As usual whoever's got issues brings it up, the rest just play. Not disregarding that the port has its share of issues, that's pretty evident, but it may not be as widespread as it seems. So far the game seems well worth the risk. Super fun.
In the locked house in the first world (or one those houses anyway) there are posters on the wall that seem to link some of the symbols to different shapes.

The thing that talks tells you doors are locked until you have collected enough things.

hmm gonna wait a little for more impressions, but other than that seems like a must buy since i never played it...
I had some issues when I started a new game, but they all went away when I restarted the game.
It's running MUCH better than the 360 version is for me (what a stuttering piece of shit it was on that system), and it's quite beautiful at 1920x1080.

I realize this, but I think I will wait until more people have played it just in case.
Not to mention that I have already played it on 360 a bit.
I've seen that, but I didn't get enough information to be able to begin decoding it. To be honest, I didn't try to, I'll probably try to beat the game normally before starting those kind of puzzles.
Yeah, that's what I'll be doing myself. Don't want to lose track/get frustrated without having seen it through.

I tried updating, still don't work. Well well. Just have to wait I guess.
It's a laptop from 2009 with Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family. So I guess new drivers only works for the newer models (HD4000 etc).
Would never thought this was a game with high GPU req though, lol.

buh buh buh old skoolz platfarters were 30FPS!!!
I haven't noticed anything on my end yet but I am hoping to avoid thinking about it for the time being. Once I notice it, it will never go away.

I still have more than two hours until I can get home. I hope it runs for me. Also, I don't see any option in the Steam iOS app to remotely download it to my home machine. Hopefully it downloads fast.

Black borders, as everyone with 16:10 monitors ; \. I have temporarily solved by downsampling the game (1600p). Seems to work, in some way.

Damn. But downsampling is a good idea, will look into that.

Unfortunately, you lose a little bit in definition of the pixel art, but still better than half-black screen ...

Is there any new stuff in the PC version.
A bunch of new bugs.
That can actually be fixed this time.

A bunch of bugs people are talking about went from buy right away to wait for 50% off or higher now. It's a shame, really was looking forward to playing it guess will have to wait a bit longer.

Man people who don't like the Fez soundtrack are not people who I can be friends with!
The Fez OST is one of the greatest videogame soundtracks of all time, fuck just this gen.
I'm so happy PC players get to experience this now. Can't wait to hear a wide range of diverse opinions on this and I'm glad SalsaShark made this thread for the folks who haven't experienced it yet.
