No one has this game for the PC yet. Steam has it but for 9Gigs I would rather have a hard copy.

Just got this game.. thing is capped @ 30fps, and tutorial is through "reading".. :(




whoever thought of or suggested / designed that this thing should be capped @ 30fps should be castrated then hanged so that he wont spread his seeds of stupidity anymore.

Hmm, could you do a regedit search for Transformers and see if there is a dword for vsync? If you didn't find any hits with Transformers try Activision.

Yes, 30fps cap. As far as I know nothing can be done about it so far... MP is perfectly playable though.... but at least make the damn cap 60fps..

is vsync on, could be like dirt 2. when I turned vsync on in dirt 2 it capped my frames at 30fps.
I turned it off, and even 'forced' it off on the driver level.. still 30fps only this time with stuttering wtf.


Hmm, could you do a regedit search for Transformers and see if there is a dword for vsync? If you didn't find any hits with Transformers try Activision.
Ok thanks for the idea, already sniffed out all config files related to the game and saw nothing. Will try this. Otherwise, it might be hardcoded in the game itself >:|
EDIT: Nope, nothing. The only thing it has is the same graphic option flag it has in game.. which is Texture Resolution and Vsync.



I also hate the matchmaking style of multplayer, and not having the option of choosing my own server so that I can choose the one that has the best ping.. instead the game gives me this laggy server.

the 30FPS isnt a Vsync limit, its a hard coded engine limit. several console ports have this.

Found a link that fixes the 30 FPS cap for Transformers War for Cybertron

This games uses the same coalesced.ini file as ME2. If I remember correctly you have to:
A. Decompress coalesced.ini
B. Tweak the settings you like to tweak
C. Find the mod tool that will let you repack coalesced.ini or else the game won't work
D. Play the game with the higher frame rates.
The real problem is that there is no real way to re-compress coalesced.ini once you make the changes. If you don't it won't work.

However, I found a link that allows you to edit the frame rates. You try it at your own risk though. Source

------
So far I like the game. The only odd thing that is annoying is that you cannot edit the keyboard/mouse functions. But I've gotten use to their KB/M layout.


Edit: Omega Supreme (oh check out the frame rates).

The dl in EastCoastHandle's link works perfectly. This is exactly what I was hoping to find. Many thanks. It looks waaaaay better in 60 FPS instead of the choppy 30 FPS, which stuttered even as previously stated.

When it looks so much better unlocked, it makes you wonder what the programmers were thinking when they lock the FPS @ 30. The only reason I can come up with is that they did that for the folks with low system specs to improve performance. On my PC however, it plays worse locked @ 30 FPS and stutters, so there is no justifiable reason for this.

I'm liking the story line but was this portion of Transformers every told when it aired on TV? IE: Why they left Cybertron, etc?

The game is considered the prequel to canon that we know today. So yes, you're correct.

I just finished the Decepticon campaign and starting the Autobot one. I have to admit, I like playing it. The online stuff needs some work (server choice sux and LAG out the ass) but still fun.

The game is a prequel to an upcomming new transformers TV series from what Ive read.

When it looks so much better unlocked, it makes you wonder what the programmers were thinking when they lock the FPS @ 30. The only reason I can come up with is that they did that for the folks with low system specs to improve performance. On my PC however, it plays worse locked @ 30 FPS and stutters, so there is no justifiable reason for this.

Its for the consoles. It conditions their mind so that everything appears smooth because no apparent frame drop is evident.
I have it for the PS3 and it runs super smooth. Playing in co-op mode with my buddy is a blast!

After watching Transformers 2 (movie) it did provides some insight of what happen back then but nothing like what's being told in this game.
If they made a movie showing this I could see the following:
-Transformers Civil War
-ETA on movie release
-???
-Profit!!!

Anyway, back at the ranch, the game is pretty good to play and the chapters are a lot longer then I thought.
