It definitely is, and of all the reasons I'd say the checkpoints are far and away the biggest one. I've been really happy with them so far (just beat the awesome E2M2), lol.

Oshry said the soundtrack will be available via iTunes very soon, so it's bound to pop up at some point!
This was just posted on the Steam discussion hub for the game
Someone then asked him about 1.1 and he replied
That's a bit of a bummer if they do that as I see that optimization patch being more urgent than a level editor.

Yeah, the pains of a small team. I guess they're trying to release as much content as fast as possible. It sucks people are having optimization problems. I recently upgraded my PC, but I no problems. It's bizarre considering it looks like you have problems or you don't at all, there's nothing in-between lol.

Hey, it could always be sooner! Who knows! It's always better to aim for a later date just to be safe.
Fuck it, I'm out. The performance is driving me insane and ruining the game. Some areas just run like shit regardless. The inconsistency is too much and I'm not having fun anymore as a result.
I really like what they did with it, but the performance is too unstable and unoptimized.

Yup, this game runs and looks like shit.
Seems to play alright, though. Still having a lot of fun, glad it wasn't more than $15. This is nowhere even close to the same level of $15 quality that Blood Dragon and Gunslinger obviously were.

It's a shame people are having trouble running it
Yeah though I must admit I agree with Atruvius in that they should release the Level Editor later and concentrate on fixing the problems for now. Regardless I'll judge them on their long term support. Red Orchestra 2 launched in a much much worse state than this did and is a pretty great game now (and Rising Storm is ace as well).
Anyone know what could cause the problem of the lightning on the main menu being flickering rather than, well, actual lightning ? I've had that a on few games recently though, not just ROTT. I did upgrade my drivers but didn't do anything in fixing that.
Played a few hours tonight and loved it.
I kinda wish the levels were a tiny bit bigger, with wider corridors and some more open areas. I suppose I can just play Serious Sam for that though.
Got through the first episode on Hard, although I did die a few times, especially on the boss haha.
Love the music too, would be cool to be able to get the soundtrack.
Can't wait for mods and custom maps.

Finally jumped online and was getting a framerate in the 40s. I think I'll hold off and see if maybe a driver update comes along or something. I liked what little I could stand to play, but I had trouble finding populated servers. The only one that was green for me had 1 person on it. In the meantime, I've been playing Painkiller: Hell and Damnation, and it's funnily enough gotten my bunny-hopping skills back a little. I was making people miss a lot in ROTT multi.
Well, let's not forget that those games (especially Blood Dragon) could not have existed without work done elsewhere. Blood Dragon by itself would still have cost a lot of money but was able to be made off of the work completed for Far Cry 3.
This is a much smaller studio that isn't as experienced.
Still, disappointing that it runs so poorly.
Yup, I realize all that. Which is why I bought ROTT at full price even though I knew what I was getting myself into at the beginning.
I'm more than happy to support developers looking to bring back old-school FPS design and I'm sure they'll fix this game, eventually. Until then, I have plenty of other shit to play instead.
The shot with DoF is what the game is supposed to look like, actually.

I don't know if that's normal. When I got into MP games the other day it was almost immediately. Who knows though, could be the network tweaks? Yeah, me either.
Look at all of the videos including the loading screens. Clearly that is how they intended the game to look.

I played up to the third chapter but the frame-rate is just so bad.

The game loads too fast and the compression on the pictures is so bad I can't really make out anything.
But none of the official pictures look like that my picture with DOF on.
Oh, the compression is awful, but you can still see them if you look in the game folder. Looks just like the game with DoF on.
The hell? What card are you using? I dunno about that section, but I get constant dips. GTX680 here.

I've been enjoying the game so far except for the occasional performance issues.
However Polygon just tried to livestream the game and they quit after 10 minutes saying it was unplayable. He was at 720p and at medium when he gave up. Sad to see.

Xbox Controller users:
If you want to switch the button for Reload to X:
Open ROTTGame.ini and find these lines:
Save and you're done.
Also, I updated the "just rumble.xpadder" profile to include rumble when you click the right analog stick for the knife attack.

Does the same thing to me, thankfully I've just been playing solo.
I really wanna know who decided to default the difficulty to easy when loading a game so I can hunt him down and tear his balls off >:O!

But seriously, it's a fun game that's just destroyed atm by the performance. On a 5870 and an i7 960 and it's running at anywhere from 40-50 fps on average, with dips into the 20s being prevalent. If 4-5 weeks is the when we can expect the patch then I'm probably never going to purchase another game from these guys on day 1 ever again. I purchased a 4 pack for some friends and atm I'm the only one who can stomach the performance enough to play it...
And yeah, I'm on e2m2 as well. I thought we learned 15 years ago that FPV platforming = nono >_>
