You just need to alt-tab out once then set the values you want, you don't have to touch after that.
This game is destroying my gaming hobby as I know it. :lol :lol
I just played BF1943 with my nephew for a bit and I kept trying to grapple and parachute things, and was severely disappointed when the result was just me throwing a grenade. lol
Also, here was a really close call from a rocket that nearly hit me as I escaped a road block:

What's the deal with these ARC files anyway?
Wow, demo, as much as I loved it, did not do this game justice. Waiting to get into true sandbox mode to try Bolopatch out, but damn. On the very first agency mission, I am hanging on the helicopter and she tells me to do something, but I basically just say fuck it and jump off while she's still giving me instructions. She goes "Well, you do always have to do it your own way" and shuts up and lets me pull the rest of it off with no guidance. Awesome. The sense of freedom is truly wild.
I went ahead and turned off Motion Blur. I think the game is simply prettier without it.

Freezing the time of day will be awesome. I hope BOLO can do the same with the weather, the storms never last long enough.
One thing the devs have got to patch out is the cut scenes for the black market dealer. If they're skippable anyway, who's going to be watching it after a few times? It needs to go straight to the menu, then dump you back to the game.

Yea FRAPS works pretty nice nowadays I was able to record a solid 30fps video of Metro 2033 at 720p (link) which I didnt expect considering what a system hog the game is.
The resulting file from Fraps was over 4 gigs so I had to re-encode it, I used WinFF 1.2 and the H264/Mpeg4 super high quality option which reduced the filesize under 700mb.
If I can get some interesting JC2 footage ill upload it.
Oh god there is too much awesome. I cleared the first village near where you start. Then I didn't really feel like doing anything that made progress, so I just started looking around... and I saw a mountain. You know, the kind of mountain that is a 2D static image in most games, maybe with some parallax. Then I climbed it. At the top, I look to my left and miles and miles away I see the distinctive casino towers from the mission. The draw distance in this game is just disgustingly good.
Really, bolopatch takes the whole experience to its logical conclusion and makes this game what it is just begging to become, the ultimate sandbox.
btw, happy passover gaf

I blew up about 5 cranes in 30 seconds with a minigun thing after doing the first Roaches mission. They're just everywhere around you when you finish the mission, was quite pleased to see that I didn't need to run around throwing explosives on them to take them down :lolTim-E said:

You'd be surprised, the game scales really well and performance is generally excellent. It doesn't need a powerhouse rig at all but if you've got one then there's lots of nice bonuses for you.
If this is a taste of what dropping DX9 support can do for PC games then I'm all for it.
brain_stew said:
Yeah I've played the demo and while the fps seems fine for me (I don't have a good eye for that stuff), there is an input lag while I play. I can play most games at 1024x768, so I dropped this to 800x600 w/ low settings and there is still a disconnect between kb/m input and what happens on screen, but it is less noticeable.

When running at a lower framerate mouse control is always going to suffer. Just use a gamepad instead and it won't be an issue.

You could just use your PS3 controller (with these drivers), or 360 controller if you have a wired one.

I love everything about this game about from the gun-play, it feels so loose.

15 Hours in and I'm loving it, easily the most fun I had with a sandbox game. Though I wish the game had a little more personality to it. I don't know, radio stations, anything to make the world more immersive. It's pretty bland.

I picked this up last night.
It took me awhile to get out of "run and gun" mode; during which I would die non-stop. Once I got the chute mechanic down, among other things, I feel like an unholy rain of terror. So satisfying. This is what I had hoped Mercs 2 would be like.
I circle strafed that horseshoe shaped island with all the fuel silos while in a combat chopper. So good. And the first time a jacked a harrier jet? Hoooooly shit.
This is not a good game to get released so close to the end of a semester.

Its one of the best optimised multi platform releases there is and there's a load of extra graphical options over the console version if you've got the hardware for it, read my tweak guide linked in the op if you're having trouble with performance. Anything from a ~8600GT/2ghz Core 2 Duo/2GB RAM and up is going to run better than the console version at similar settings.

That's how I do it. Once I lucked out and pegged one with a plane - shame I was on 360, I wanted to replay! It was a small plane, but a plane nevertheless!

Dude, it's the same thing for me, but worse.
I live close to the airforce base situated close to St. Louis (Scott AFB). My house is, literally, 5 minutes away from a runway. I get out of my car after getting some food, look up, and there is a MASSIVE cargo jet a few hundred feet above me, going in for the landing. My first thought, and I shit you not, was "I wonder if I'm close enough to grapple to it." :lol
Continuing my saga of "this game wants me to die," I give you:

Planes, ATV's, whatever. If I'm driving it and it grazes something, it is going to explode.
edit: Looking at the mods available for the PC makes me want to double-dip. And I never double-dip. I'm pretty sure my PC can run it near max settings, but the recommended vidcard is one nVidia generation past mine.

The amount of vehicles offered through the black market is kind of disappointing. They should also make it so it's just a text box that pauses the game so you can scroll through it. I find it kind of a drag summoning him at the moment, doesn't feel quick enough.
I basically just want it to be like Crackdown's "Keys to the City"

Well, you did drive over a motorcycle on an ATV. Bad shit was bound to happen.
On another subject, I think having ammo in this was a bad idea or maybe the fact it's so easy to run out is what the problem is. Just seems during every raid/mission/etc I am having to pick up dropped weapons constantly because of the lack of ammo.

Another vote for something like the BOLO patch on console versions. If it was so easy for modders to make an invincible and multiple grapple, surely it will be hardly any effort on the Dev's part .
I wouldn't even mind if it was limited to 5 grapples, or even 3 or something if the console versions have a harder time calculating the physics.

Well there's a mod that unlocks everything and/or makes it free/cheap. Same dude is working on a mod so that you can use the black market to spawn any vehicle as well.

Yeah I have the BOLOpatch. I'm just talking about the speed of it really. I would rather just be able to instantly spawn stuff instead of having it delivered.
Being able to get any vehicle would be good though.

I'm fine with the black market stuff. They even let you drop a jet and I wasn't expecting that at all. If you want a better vehicle, just use the black market quick travel to get to one of the many, many airports.
my only real problem is that they hovercraft wasn't standard. It would come in handy big time. Instead of that I got some crappy semi-auto assault rifle for a preorder bonus.
I also wish they had some super exclusive items like a jetpack
I am amazed by the support the PC version of JC2 gets. I remember Just Cause 1 being bad on PC; PS2 port, no wide screen, poor controls, etc. but JC2 is what all console to PC versions should be: scales great, native 360 controller support with instant switching to kb/m, adds graphical options, steam works, easy to mod, etc.
