Apparently the performance is worse in retail than the beta patch that was put out this morning?

Gee wiz, can't wait to hear the excuses now it's out of beta. :/

That explains that. Game is running quiet bad. Oh well... More Dead Island until this gets resolved.

If they had just released the beta to everyone who bought it and then released the rest when ready... that would have been fine by me.

The Steam Achievements are buggy. I just finished the first level of the german campaign and already got the "Complete the full campaign" Achievement.

Good to hear. I'm gonna play the campaign before anything else, at least for a few hours, before I jump into the multiplayer. I'm not expecting anything grand but I'm glad the option exists. It should give me a little headstart with the basics.

Got that as well. I completed some of the tutorials and I didn't get the achievements either.

Oh well well it seems my early enthusiasm for this game has totally been shat upon and shoved back into my mouth...

It's one of THOSE games, yessir on of those games where I'll join a server and roughly 10 seconds or so after joining it I'll lose connection to the server but still be on the map on every damn server( you know the one where all players "suddenly" start running into walls and you just let out a big fucking sigh ).... I knew I shouldn't have bought an mp-focused game without trying a demo/beta.

I'm sorry you bought this partially off my recommendation. >_<

I haven't had any issues with the beta, though I'm just downloading the release now. A friend of mine played successfully for 2 hours today without any issues.

Nah man don't be sorry because I have fucking 3rd world broadband while still somehow living in Sweden. This isn't the first time this has happened, now granted brink wasn't a good game but that's another on of these "woops, you can't play sorry for buying" games.

Guess I'll play RO2, sometime 2012 when I'm moving to another place.

That's what I'm using it for. It's better than most "regular" FPS campaigns so far. Doesn't feel like bot matches. There's war footage like COD and MoH and everything. It's more fleshed out than what I was expecting. There's no big scripted awesome button sequences, just big battlefields and orders.

But I love being able to play with the guns without being owned by some pro. I'm pretty bad at MP games, and RO2 just emphasized that in the beta.

I put settings at medium and the game hovers around 30 FPS.

I put settings at lowest and the game hovers around 30 FPS.

Oh Well. Back to Space Marine

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
i7 930 @ 3.6, 5870 @ 1300/900, 12GB RAM, Velocirpator HDD, 6mbps connection.

Game runs like total garbage. No matter what I do, I get sub 30fps and 200+ms ping. Very disappointing.

I tried launching the game again and it went into "Performing first time setup..."

wat?

It's also stuck at "installing: pbsvc_hos.exe"

double wat? Isn't that PunkBuster?

EDIT - nvm, there it goes. Still, weird.

Yeah. I had that too. Eventually the PB setup popped up after I alt-tabbed to the window. What's worse is it tries to install some sort of AMD drivers on my computer.

So much of this. I hate this is in modern PC games.

OK so I can deal with it when your game might be running a bit shitty. But when I cant change any settings to make it any better? Annoying; Id be happy to lower my settings to get a consistant 50+ fps, but I cant.

Really enjoying the game otherwise. Beta was good, and it does feel a bit better with these patches/release. I just hope they can sought out what appears to be a problem with AMD cards. Because AMD clearly aren't going to fix it.

try this:

- close steam
- extract the two files in this zip into your \Steam\config\ folder. overwrite the files already in there.
- make sure they are now set to read only.
- restart steam.

Wow i cant even join a game.

This launch is worse than Dead Island/Gran Turismo 5 put together.

It always crashes after this screen

It shows the game for like 1 second (all glitched up as if it has no clip on, underneath the map) and then crashes the game and says "ROGame.exe has stopped working"

here are my settings

Halp!?!

Put everything on low and try.

I won't even try Ultra for now. It seems that TP does't expect you to use them.
Click to expand...

Yeah ultra doesn't work, putting it on High made it work. Holy shit Tripwire are pathetic.

The thing is Ultra worked fine in the single player.

Had some fun playing the first two missions of the campaign, but can't join any servers, because the page says that there aren't any. Refreshing does nothing.

I had this problem on RO1 and most source games...

Then I followed these steps: Telnet Fix.

I snuck up on a german dude and dumped a full mag into him. he turned around and punched me to death.

Is there any way I can still get a refund or am I screwed? Game is still a broken mess.

Don't get to play till tonight, another 8 hours away.. LOL at the people wanting a refund, go for a walk, play a different game, sleep with your girlfriend and come back when its up to your standards :)

Nothing tops the Cliffs of Dover launch failure and now its a great sim.. patience is a virtue.

Sounds like they tried to do to much in the past 2 days and messeed things up worse then the beta. I am sure it will be fixed pretty quick though. :)

I can run Crysis 2, The Witcher 2, and Metro 2033 all maxed at 30+ fps, and this game is having trouble keeping above 30. Serious optimization is needed.

Turn your shadows down from Ultra, that will fix it.

I tweaked mine over two weeks during the beta so I'm gravy, love the game.

disappointing that the games still in a really buggy state. loved the beta and i was actually tempted to support tripwire at launch but guess i'll wait till they sort this out.
