My iMac (i7 3.4 ghz, 1gb 6970m) has been doing 1080p, 30fps vsynced with no issues really so far.

You just need to kill the guys with red target icons over their heads. No need to kill any of the gang members who may show up as reinforcements.Stitch said:
Not in all cases - sometimes they're on multiple levels (i.e. staircases) and the missile will only hit the guys on the top level.DrBo42 said:

Aren't those survival things separate from gang operations?bigboss370 said:

Yea those are survival missions and can be either extremely difficult (5 stars = constant waves of enemies) or pretty boring (1 enemy car at a time)XiaNaphryz said:

Are you sure you're clearing a gang operation (marked on the map with a fist)? Or are you doing something else?Stitch said:

I really can't blame anyone but AMD here,many games run bad or have bugs on AMD cards lately and AMD is way too slow to even release their drives and this is happening for some years with no change on AMD attitudes towards it, seems like they don't even want improve their support or slow drivers updates, it look like they just don't give a shit about it for some reasons.

Normally I'd agree, but Volition have a history of buggy PC ports. They took months to fix a quad core issue with Guerilla Red Faction that caused the game to run at insane speeds. I think they eventually fixed it, but by that time I'd lost interest.Totobeni said:
You have to get close enough to the gang operation (pink icon with a fist in it) for it to activate. When it activates, approximately 7-10 guys will get red icons placed about their heads. Take out just those individuals, and the gang operation will be completed.Stitch said:
Note that if you want to complete these in a VTOL, you need to get low enough to the ground to activate it. That way you can't just rain hellfire from above without consequences.
For those discussing the PC version, we're working with AMD to fix the issue. The majority of PC users so far are enjoying the game without issue as evidenced by our player numbers compared to issue reports. We hope to have a solution very shortly.

I always loved the feature sets of the AMD/ATI cards but there's been just too much driver weirdness with them that I've experienced. I just got sick of dealing with it so when I spec'd out my current PC, I went the other way.
I've been playing on 360 but haven't gotten too far, maybe two or three missions in- just got picked up my second crib. I'm digging it.
I've never been huge into customizing all the layers in my look so I don't really miss those omissions. It remains to be seen if the other things bother or not since I haven't played long enough or seen enough to comment.
I love the running melee moves though. I want more. I couldn't stop giggling when I did a running flip over an old lady then turned and socked her in the jaw. Love the pro wrestling style moves too. Want more.
I do wish those moves were more viable in real combat. I haven't been able to use them effectively. They don't do enough damage to gang members to take them out (at least not for me) and they just open me up to getting wailed on with bullets while I'm trying to close distances to do them. Taking human shields is much more effective but not nearly as much fun.

considering every major release this fall on AMD hardware has had problems I have a real hard time blaming the devs
Totally agreed. I can't agree with any comments that claim otherwise. It's actually quite a looker on max settings.DennisK4 said:
A thought I had: most of the story missions in SR2 were variations of "go here, kill that". That's fine, and the missions were hilarious and fun, but between that and the stronghold missions, one could argue SR2 was somewhat padded. I think SR3 tries to balance things out by making some of the side activities story missions like the tiger drive and Guardian Angel. You're spending less time driving to a spot and killing waves of enemies, and when you DO end up doing that in story missions, the circumstances are crazy, awesome and fun with some incredibly creative and silly moments.
Don't get me wrong, I love SR2, but a lot of what I see in SR3 makes sense.
I agree that Fuzz needs to come back, and I wish there was an easy way to replay story missions, but overall SR3 is hitting the nail on the head.

hahaha ooook. So let's see Rage, Saints Row, Skyrim, Battlefield all had driver issues. Did you just get into pc gaming or something. It's not a very well kept secret ATI/AMD driver support has been spotty at best for YEARS. So blame whoever you want, everyone else knows exactly where the blame lies.

No there was really no one with a red icon above his head. I already killed those. Then I was fighting reinforcements for the next 20 minutes...
drove away because it got boring and when I got back those guys with the red icon above their head were back. I killed them and finally finished the mission.
Is the low performance thing really just on AMD cards? Because the framerate is kinda low on my GTX 560 Ti too :-/

Yeah this kind of bugs be. If there really is a driver issue and it's not just that the game is janky (which doesn't appear to be the case for Nvidia users), there's no possible way that Violition could have not known there was a problem - apparently rolling back several driver releases does nothing either. I suspect both Violition and AMD knew there was a problem, knew how to fix it, but AMD couldn't get their shit together in time for release.Gez said:
Still, it's been kind of amusing seeing people with top end cards get the same performance as my HD5770 currently gets.
