Yes of course silly me that's why the timer is there lol... So are you supposed to guess when battle is going happen because last time i was attacked was just walking though a door.

Well stopped playing it for now if they cannot give me the gore that Left4lol said they would have in it..

And wtf is it with the body's disappearing so fricking fast seen them stay on longer on a console game.

I know right? i was getting 17fps now 45+fps

Took me about 45 minutes to download this from Steam and the first thing I noticed was I couldn't remap my key commands to the arrow keys and num pad. Usually when a game doesn't allow this I never play it again but I read a post on another forum that claims a hot fix is on the way to fix this issue shortly. I played a little bit with WASD last night but it was brutal. I hate WASD.

Visually the game is quite nice considering its DX9. It's clear this game was truly designed for the console and not the PC. I'm tempted to try out a controller with the game. Might actually be easier to play since I hate WASD. I may try some software to remap keys too.

Voice acting and character design are both fantastic and I bet this is going to be a wonderful story.

I haven't used fraps yet to see what fps I'm getting but I'm playing on the ultra setting @ 1920x1080 and so far its been very smooth. No lag so far.

Yes, i was nearly there feeling your pain with the keys... And i can near max it out just cannot have the light numbers a max.

So your able to have it on ultra with that CPU ?.. If so thats kinda cool as i kinda says my CPU is lacking for the GPU.

This is how i have mine and it runs smooth.

You know; when I load up any game I always max everything out. I expect to be able to do that on current gen games but sometimes I have to lower a feature or two.

In this game I haven't had to lower anything. I set it to Ultra and I even have uber sampling enabled and it runs great. I did shut off motion blur though because I don't like it. Kinda makes me sick.

I can't check that link because my work blocks it but if its how to change the ini files then thats what I was doing last night. I tried everything and in the end I was able to assign the up/down arrow keys in the launcher but once in the game they wouldn't work.

maybe your link will show me something I have not tried. Thanks Csokis. I look forward to checking it out tonight.

Sweet, i guess my CPU is holding my v card back a little. Sadly it don't justify a upgrade yet but does tell me that my v card will give some more performance when i decide to which is still a year or more away still.

Yes that blur is annoying thanks for reminding me about that lol

Hey dude please correct me if I'm wrong but I get the impression from this post that perhaps you might hate WASD?

P.S. You're nuts.

There always has to be a hater or two.

I understand fully that many people consider WASD to be far superior to the arrow keys. I won't even argue that it is not superior.

All I can say is I have been using the arrow keys for as long as I have been playing PC games and I absolutely love using the arrow keys along with the keys stationed around the arrow keys. To date I have played every PC game this way with no issues at all. Works for me.
Now I have tried using WASD on accasion just for shits and giggles and I just hated it. It's not for me and every PC game I own allows me to change my KB commands to anything I want. Many actually have the WASD and arrow keys mapped for movement for me.

True PC titles should always give us the option to change things around. IMO. Thats the beauty of PC gaming.

Can't argue with that. And I wouldn't call myself a "hater" more like a "can't understander".

WASD is used by 99.9% of PC gamers for a reason, is all. Well, generally, as to be perfectly honest I have smaller hands and find WSQE preferable for comfort. I just can't imagine using arrow keys any more than I can imaging playing an FPS with a console controller. But if it works for you, then so be it.

I've only played about an hour of this game, but man o man am I happy with my purchase. Running on Ultra with Ubersampling disabled, LOD Distance on Normal (for now), 1920x1080 and I see generally around 40-50FPS, with lows in the 30's and peaks to 60 (vsync is enabled atm). This is with a stock clocked HD5870, needless to say, the game looks amazing, plays smooth and is a hoot thus far. No issues, crashes, and once I disabled Ubersampling on the Ultra setting, my performance went from the teens and twenties to generally 40-50FPS which I can totally live with...running 11.4 drivers, I've yet to try 11.5's with the hotfix...may not worry about it since things are running so well. Also got it from GoG.com, been a flawless experience thus far!

I have no idea what I'm doing in this game. I guess I really should read the manual.

Im in the same boat. I usually dont play RPGs but I figured this game would be fun and it is.

Really happy I bough the retail box copy in case I decide to sell the game. The retail bundle makes the purchase feel valuable and makes other publishers look bad for selling 6h games with black and white booklets.
