Game seems really awesome, it is really just performance problems that is letting it down. Hopefully it is something that can be fixed pretty easily whether it is on driver side or on the game side.

It being UE3 really REALLY dampens my enthusiasm for this game.

Has anyone tried it on a phenom II cpu and/or hd6870?

Reading the words stutter on a page about an oldschool fastpaced shooter makesmy skin crawl, but that's garbage engine 3 for you.... :\
I was tempted to buy it several times today but decided to wait for impressions, seems like it was the wise thing to do as always.

I want , no I need this to be good, been craving an oldschool shooter for years, serious sam 3 wasn't enough especially with the crappy opening levels.

When you press F4 does the game go into freeze mode for you guys, like the time stops but you can run around. And when you press F7 and F8 you can change view mode to disable lighting, show wireframe, no textures etc.

Pretty weird but definitely cool.

Edit. and that lighting is bugged. It looks like the sky has really bad screen tearing when lightning flashes, and it only affects the sky.

I've certainly read more good than bad. Plus at $15, I can't help but feel that it's worth it regardless. I'm sure I'll have more fun with the game than I've had with some $59.99 titles.

Gameranx just gave it at 10/10, lol. So good.

For performance issues, if you havent tried it yet, turn off depth of field, motion blur, and bloom. That helped for me. Make sure you hit 'accept settings'

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!

Feels a bit less crappy, yes. Still a total clusterfuck for a fast paced fps.

How strange, I'm having an issue with the framerate dipping when moving the mouse. If I look straight ahead, it's 60, but if I start moving the mouse it dips to 56-57 fps (which looks terrible on a 60 Hz monitor).

This game is really difficult in the sense that it has a shit ton of adjustable settings...that must all be adjusted outside of the game. Makes finding the perfect balance super tedious as I can't figure out which setting is triggering this.

I had to stop playing, wacky framerate was giving me a serious headache.

I haven't a clue what to do with the settings to get it running right.

The game seems smoother after doing that, though I also disabled AO.

Note that in BioInf this also prevented scripted events from executing, so I assume the same would be true in the case of ROTT.

Edit: Here's the portion of the BioInf PC Perf Thread OP that pertains to the mitigation of stuttering. Maybe it'll help:
JaseC said:
Mitigate stuttering: Navigate to (My) Documents\my games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config, open XEngine.ini, and follow the instructions in this post. (Credit to Mechazawa.) Additionally, if you have a card with more than 512MB of VRAM, find the PoolSize cvar in XEngine.ini and change it according to your amount of GPU memory, using the formula [amount of VRAM in GB] x 600 -- also ensure that the -ReadTexturePoolFromIni cvar has been added to the game's launch options (right-click -> Properties -> Set launch options; may cause instability). (Credit to GSY Miguel and antitrop.) Lastly, setting the bInitializeShadersOnDemand cvars in XEngine.ini and XCompat.ini to TRUE may also help. (Credit to Irrational itself via KoruptData.) [Note that while disabling bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming in XEngine.ini also aids in reducing stuttering, it will break certain script events. Enable/disable at your leisure.]

Substitute paths and filenames where necessary, obviously. ;)

Thanks for trying it out! Combined it with a 59fps limit courtesy of Nvidia Inspector and now the game is actually pretty smooth, having a great time!
Click to expand...

I used it in combination with a command found on steam forums (I'm on the phone right now and I can't link it, it's a sticky topic) which changes fps smoothing values and it runs little bit better.

Just realized that despite redeeming my gifted copy that mentioned the pre-order back before release I didn't get any of that stuff....bummer.

Edit: Connection cannot be established. Boooo

People interested in disabling the absurd mouse acceleration can find it at:

My Documents\My Games\Rise of the Triad\ROTTGame\Config\ROTTinput.ini
Set "bEnableMouseSmoothing" to false.

Does anyone else find themselves getting stuck in a lot of geometry (particularly between ledges and sandbags)?

Ok for those wondering.

My Setup:

i5 2320 3.0 ghz
6 gb ram
660 ti
Windows 7

I changed to the Ludicrus preset and enabled v-sync and Framerate Lock. I also increased the fov to the max setting and am playing at 1080p. So far in the first level i'm bouncing around between 50-60 fps. So not a locked 60 but not as bad as it sounds for some of you.

Mouse acceleration is on by default?

...

And there's no option to turn it off in the menus?

Also set "OneFrameThreadLag" to false in ROTTSystemSettings.ini.

Be warned that this can impact performance, so if it's already shaky for you, you may want to leave that as-is or turn down other settings.

As a longtime Quake player I found both this and the omission of weapon binds in the options menu very puzzling.

In fact, I still haven't found a way to change the weapon binds (I haven't looked very hard, however). Does anyone know?

Does that do what it sounds like it does?

That sounds like a blessing in disguise. I had to RJ out of geometry twice now.

Thank you for this.

Also, I noticed that I can't strafe leftward when holding Crouch for some reason.

Alright, this runs like crap no matter what changes I make to settings or .ini files. Is this just an AMD thing that I have to wait on?

Really enjoying the game, it really is ROTT basically redone and updated very slightly and that's great for me :) Fuckin rock hard though, damn my skills have gone to shit over the years.

Thankfully I haven't had or at least noticed any stuttering. I've got stuck in the scenery twice which I got out of by crouching and for some reason I just can't get any servers to list.

I didn't even realise mouse smoothing was on tbh but I am surprised you can't rebind weapon keys and that there's no option for turning smoothing on/off.

Also, is anyone elses lightning fucked on the main screen ?

I hope these things get sorted soon enough, the game's great from what I've played so far.
