Any word on another patch or am I stuck with a buggy, broken game?

This is one of the laziest ports I have ever had the misfortune of playing. First there was the loading screen saying that the game was best played on a game pad. I don't own one for my PC because I prefer to use keyboard and mouse, but I decided to go on regardless. Then I got this:
There is no fucking start button on my keyboard, so I went with Enter. That worked, pfew. On to the menu screen. I was moving my mouse around frantically but no cursor appeared. As it turned out you can only navigate with your arrow keys and theEnter Start button. While grumbling I upped the resolution from 720p to 1080p (ironic if you think about it) and booted up the game. It looked quite good but it handled like a bitch. Avalanche simply remapped the left stick to WASD and the right stick to the mouse. That makes anything but moving straight up and down or left and right very hard. After about five minutes of trying to control my buggy that buckled around the level like a horse that still needs to be broken in I gave up.
Avalanche Studios lost a lot of my kudos with this. Sure, you can blame Sega for the lousy handling of the release, but this dismally bad port is entirely Avalanche's fault. They better not fuck up the PC port of Just Cause 3.

Just tried the game and yeah... it's not working. The main menu was spending more time frozen than responding until I switched over to windowed mode. But then actual gameplay was 60 FPS for 10-15 seconds, followed by a couple of seconds frozen and soundlooping, repeat.
I'm worried that even if they sort out the freezing it's still be stuttering from background streaming just like way too many other console ports.

The stuttering is something that was introduced after the first patch. You can fix it the same way you could fix the game not launching at all on certain setups: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2206805
It's unfortunate that Avalaunch sucks so much at fixing this game, but at least someone else fixed it.
Isn't Bastion's control scheme pretty much the same?
Only difference is Bastion is built to be played from an isometric perspective so you're mostly going in diagonal directions, which is fine for WASD. The levels in Renegade Ops aren't so its harder to drive at the correct angles for the roads.
I suppose that's why they put in the tank steering mode, but then you can't make turns as quickly. Still, I don't really see a way of getting this to work outside of completely overhauling the maps to make them more isometric/grid-based.

Game works flawlessly here, controller support is excellent. Looks great in 1080p and runs smoothly without stuttering or other issues.
I'm counting myself lucky.
I've played Gatling Gears before this, and it's basically the same, yet Renegade Ops just feels so much better. Great game.

if you have 3d vision you NEED to be playing this.
the explosions and the cliffs in 3d... mouth watering

Wasn't impressed when I found a bug within a couple of minutes of starting the game on PC. Had my headphones plugged in when the first cutscene started playing, decided I wanted to listen to it through my speakers, unplugged my headphones and... the game froze. Happens every time during a movie as well, even the Avalanche logo.
No idea what the delay was for, this is shoddy. Since I work as a tester I won't say "they didn't employ testers" as they probably did - most likely they just didn't bother to fix most of the bugs that were found. Poor effort Avalanche.

It's only hard if you do it as a side mission while focusing on the main objectives. On the other hand, if you just keep saving prisoners while ignoring the main objective, it's pretty easy. Just ignore each main objectives until you have like a minute or so left to complete it.

Seeing as the PSN version has been patched I'm looking for a few people who would be willing to be play through the game on hardcore difficulty tomorrow at 8pm EST. Add me if interested.

Patch for the ps3 version? What does it do? Haven't heard about it.
This is one of my favourite downloadable games.

I keep going to the PS store and drooling over this title. Unfortunately I only have $8 in my PSN wallet. Hoping there is a sale someday.

Not sure, but I'm guessing that most bugs are out at this point. They also are distributing the code for the vehicle pack dlc that was promised for October for all who preordered the game.

When you go to play a level you should be able to switch to the new Campaign.
Same here, just checked and I have the option to play the inferno campaign or the cold strike campaign now.
