Well i havent played the game on my new gfx card but my old geforce 2 couldnt handle it that well. Game looks ok but demanding on system. Id wait to change the server untill you see alot of people playing it but hey thats me.

This game is amazing. Been playing the 2 maps that are out for quite a bit. You should try the demo called "fort".

I have no problem at 1024 size rez at very high detail and effect. The game does prefer nvidia cards. I highly recommend over 2ghz, a 128mb graphics card, and atleast 512mb of ram.

But the graphics and the physics are just simply put priceless.

If you want to see you fps type \r_displayinfo 1.

I am deff going to buy this game.

Some more reading, supposed to have a deathmatch and CTF style of gameplay. Should be interesting.

If you do buy it and need some ram in the near future they are having a special with the purchase of farcry. Read the 3/24 news post.

Ubisoft?? Not in this life or the next. I've recieved more than enough crap from them. Know how most of you hate steam? (I actually like it) Take that hate and double it to find out how much I despise ubisoft.

I downloaded the demo of this game in january, and it didn't work at all. The game would get to the loading screen, and then freeze at around 99%. As it turns out, my ATI card wasn't compatible with it...The menus on the mainscreen were even faulty.

Ubisoft = bug and idiot programming city from the 9th plane of hell. I don't plan on pitching out another $50 on a game that has even a 5% chance of being as faulty as something like shadowbane was.

Demo was a bear to run...was so intense on the system you had to set everything to low. That being said here is the deal.

If you are running an ATI card make sure that you have Anti-Aliasing turned "OFF", turning it on creates a lot of issues, most notably crashing at load. This can now be done without loading the game, which is a big fix from the demo version. Also on another ATI issue, make sure you have the latest catalyst drivers, I believe its 3.9 or later. On a Nvidia note, don't try to run this game on a MX card...it is not going to run worth a crap if it actually does run at all.

BTW the game is only $39.95 and worth every stinking penny of it.

i had a problem with textures too high. i guess with only 128 mb video ram, it couldnt cache all the textures, and when i got to an area (level 2 on top of ship) when there were alot of textures it was totally taking a fps hit and consistently trying to recache all the textures. i lowered texture res and it worked great. kinda sad cause i liked high tex.
