Can someone help me out here? I got the PC version a few weeks back, played it a bit with my 8800 GT, and it actually ran ok. I upgraded to a GTX 465, Ran the game at the same settings that I used with the 8800, and everything was fine, just at a much higher framerate. ANyways, I hit 'Optimal Settings' and everything pretty much gets maxed out. I try to play it and the framerate is like 2FPS. So my issue is that even when I try to reset my settings to even lower settings than before, I'm still getting about 2FPS even in the menus. Help!!

try deleting the setting (old card info may still be in there), should be inVik_Vaughn said:

then manually set them the way you want in the game

yep!
Maybe this is a stupid thing to ask, but what OS are you running on, and have you updated to the latest graphics card driver using the nvidia website? Unless your CPU is really old it sounds like you should have no problem using reasonably high settings. Have you used any custom control panel/enhancement utility stuff that might have supersampling, high AA, or some other setting forced on?Vik_Vaughn said:
Vista 64. I actually got it running by dropping everything to the lowest settings then restarting. I've been turning things up gradually, but I still feel like I should be running this way better. In fact, I still think the 8800 ran it better. CPU is a Q9300 Quad Core @ 2.5 GHz. Just installed the GTX 465 yesterday and Metro 2033 seems to run fine. I just used the drivers that were on the disc so I'll try updating to the latest now.
Edit: Nvidia control panel doesn't look like it is forcing anything funky

It usually doesn't do that. The longest load times I've had are never over 5 seconds. Slow hard drive possibly?trinest said:

I never seemed to see loading times over 5-10 seconds max, even fresh from starting up the game at the menu screen. The lack of loading was one of the things that actually struck me about the game.trinest said:
If you mean really early on, I remember there were individual loading sections while it switched areas, but that might just be that area. I haven't played enough of the island to know if it streams the terrain or if it freezes you to load occasionally. Anyone else got any input?
And yeah...never use the in-the-box drivers, other poster. I hope the latest ones help!

The only thing that ever breaks the illusion is when you first get to an area where there's supposed to be a helicopter, and then you see one spawn in GTA-style. Other than that, I'm constantly amazed at how amazingly beautiful the game is and how well it runs (on my computer, not to rub it in).

this game was an absolute blast to play. Looks damn great too, so great i felt bad for destroying that magnificent island of Panau :lol
Dunno- it loaded up the video thing before the game before but it had no sound then it went into a blank loading screen.The Big Rig said:
Hasn't even loaded into the game- just sits once you click "new game" and the loading screen. Got the settings on lowest too to check but its still doing it.
Drivers didn't help all that much really. While I was getting the new drivers, I got an 'OC Scanner' and a 'Precision Tuner' for my card (obviously I'm sure you have established I'm a totally new to this). Core clock was set at 625, but I boosted i t to 800. Playing JC2 has it hovering around 75 degrees, so I'm thinking I can go more?
Well, I got it to work. Evidently you can't just go from weakling settings to maxing everything out and expect everything to adjust immediately. If you can, well, that didn't work for me. I gradually worked my way up and have most everything maxed out at 1920x1200 and it runs gloriously. I was getting extremely discouraged last night so I'm glad everything worked out. Thanks again to you guys.

Picked this up in the Steam sale, looking forward to digging into it.
Does it play okay with kb+m ?

Strange issue with this game.
When it starts up, at the first screen with the logos on it... the screen flashes slightly as though some adjustments are being made. Ingame it looks fine. When I exit, everything grey is now slightly pink. :lol
Fixed with a restart, but still rather irritating.
What might it be?
i5 750
ATI 5850
4GB memory
Latest drivers (as far as I know).
(The game is gorgeous on the PC, btw. Make the 360 version look like the n64)

Does the BOLO mod in the OP still work?
I'm getting errors whenever I ty and start it.
I tried before I was in-game and said go in game so I go in game then it can't find the process?

Just thought I'd pop in and say that JC2 is by and far my Game of the Year 2010. Everything about the game from the ground up was built around having a good old fashioned FUN time. It's a 16-bit action game for the modern age. Kudos to Avalanche for the effort they put into this gem.
I'm not sure, but you might give older drivers a shot. I'm not having problems with the 10.10 drivers and a 5850, but I know for a while the AMD drivers had weird issues/driver crashes. Actually, I think even these drivers would crash on me until someone told me to disable Flash hardware acceleration.WEGGLES said:
WEGGLES said:
It might be that the driver is crashing and reverting you to default settings in CCC, and that on top of that you're running whichever version of 10.10 that had the issue where the color temp was set slightly off by default (which you might not notice in-game since you have no reference but you'd notice on your desktop). Double check your driver version, 10.12 is the latest.

I'm really enjoying this game so far.
But looks like that BOLO trainer doesn't work anymore with the latest version?
Does anyone know of another trainer?

DualShadow said:
Theres another trainer but I noticed some glitchiness when I was using it. Personally, I stopped using it because Im worried about corrupted saves with it or something.
It was cool though. Everything was hot keyed so you were able to turn things on/off while in game without alt tabbing.

So I caved in and bought it off the Steam sale. Are any of the DLC worthwhile?
Don't forget that you can hit grapple, shoot a guy with it, point at something else, and then let go so they'll get tied to it (or go flying off into the distance attached to a car, as the case may be).trinest said:
I felt like such a jerk yesterday when I just went sailing across a huge bay hijacking boats from various innocent natives. :lol
Stupid question...isn't there some sort of locking cover system, where you can stick to a wall behind a corner or duck behind a low obstacle, and then pop out for shots? I couldn't seem to get it to activate if so, and I forgot how to do it.
Blizzard said:
I dont think there is a cover system. Just Ctrl to crouch and middle mouse for OTS view.
There are so many times playing this where Id die to have FRAPs running. So many awesome things go on when Im not recording.
Yesterday, I come across a village near the beach with an angled patch of dirt nearby. I hijack a speed boat and decide to try and take out a water tower with the speed boat. At full speed, I hit the angled dirt and go flying into the sky WAAAAY above the water tower and just soared so far. I jumped out mid air and watched the boat as it falls, lands on the other side of the village into another body of water and has enough speed to glide across the water, narrowly missing another boat, and then explodes into the docks on the other side.
It was so amazing to see.

I'm so glad I gave this game a second chance on PC after trying the demo on 360. (Didn't have a gaming PC then).
So much fun just messing around, don't even need to do the missions :lol

That's gotta be one of my favorite things about Just Cause 2. I just mess around causing chaos and exploring all the time, and only do the missions when I want a change of pace.DualShadow said:
Its the complete opposite of most other open world games where the missions are the "fun" that's been designed for you, that you MUST go through to unlock parts of the game, and the rest of the open world is just there for kicks and collectibles.

Yeah it's funny cause I'll be on my way to a mission and be like 'oh that looks like a nice play to cause chaos' then hours later I've done a few different settlements and still no missions :lol
