Definitely more like Quake, no monster arenas like SS/Painkiller, more intricate level design and exploration.

What does the "Conservative Shadow Bound" setting do?

It runs similarly bad for me in SP as well. The weird part is there is no difference going from medium to high settings, going to Ludicrous doesn't even drop it that much more than high either :/
Edit: and I just checked and I am on the newest Nvidia drivers, the only thing I can think of is that Windows 8 just sucks shit. Anybody else with an iffy framerate running on W8?

For whatever reason as soon as I start up the game I stare straight at the sky and turn in circles.
It's impossible for me to do anything.

Have any joysticks/gamepads connected to your PC? If so unplug them.
Got a gamepad plugged in?

Although I'm really looking forward to buying this, I may just hold off and wait for the inevitable first price drop because of the immense backlog I'm currently attempting to wade through first before picking up new games.
Who am I kidding, I'll cave within the hour

You should cave, it's lots of fun so far.
game is a bit of a resource hog though...maybe all of those console ports spoiled me.

Same for me. Single player runs a little bit better but nowhere near stable. I got like 10 fps difference between low or max out. Even between 1024x768 and 1080p.
I'm on w8 too.

Hmm, looks like it might be time to go back to W7 (again)

Yeah, let us know if it is running well for you on W7. Would hate to do an OS install if I don't have to.
It's going to be a few hours before I get a chance to play, probably about 4:30 or 5 EST. I will update with my results when I do though.
If you like that kind of game, I'd say definitely. It's apparently 8-12 hours long, with tons of secrets.

This might be my game of the year. It's everything I had hoped it would be and more besides.
Is it a lot like the original ROTT?
It's like ROTT, fused with Quake era FPS conventions like rocking jumping, mouse-aiming and more vertical levels. In regards to how crazy the game is (drunken missiles, dog mode etc) it's exactly like ROTT.
On another note, I love how they included iron sights and reloading when they do absolutely nothing in-game.

The level intro videos are so horribly compressed, why have them in that state :/
Crashed upon joining a server, hopefully I can get in.

I wonder what everyone else is running, I've watched a number of videos and streams and none of them had any issues. No terrible FPS issues, no crashes, nothing. I'm sure the issues anyone is having will be patched soon enough, I'm just wondering what is causing it.

I really hate when games require you to make another account to play online while already being on Steam. Really, really hate that.

Completely agree. I have been playing offline for now, but I assume I'll need and account to play MP.
This game has a good excuse for it, though. It's there in order for people who bought it from different stores to play together.

The text to voice is hilarious.
I assume that was added in for the gog/DRM-free versions which can't use Steamworks for multiplayer/leaderboard etc.

It's very buggy, but still a lot of fun. I'm taking a break now after the second time in a single area where I got stuck behind a spike wall.

This. They made their own unified interface so that players can play together regardless of where they purchased the game. It makes perfect sense, and in my opinion it's really not that big of a deal. Sign in once, check a box so it saves your info, boom.

very low framerates here too :/ and i just lost all sounds for some reason.

Anyone else's video settings keep resetting? Everything goes back to medium when I restart the game.
I like how one of the announcer insults in the game is "Stick to a Gamepad".
There's an 'Accept Settings' option to the side, maybe you didn't click it?

sometimes it seems to do so. And my sounds keep going to my default communication device, the headset, instead of my speakers :/
Chance Hale

Are you actually hitting accept settings? I forgot to the first time and realized it wasn't saving anything.
And I'm using Windows 8, and have GTX670 and I'm getting a smooth 60 at max settings most of the time. With multiple fire walls going it drops to like 40 though.

Definitely hitting accept. It's only after starting the game. If i quit the launcher they don't change,but if I start the game and then quit the settings are different.

yeah i can confirm this too, happens randomly. its best to always check advanced options before launch
Possible stuttering fix:
1. Open My Documents\My Games\Rise Of The Triad\ROTTGame\Config\ROTTEngine.ini
2. Search for "bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming=True", change to "bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming=False"
After the first 10 seconds or so it definitely feels a bit smoother. Not sure if this is just confirmation bias on my part so would appreciate if someone else could test for me!
