FYI : playing around with the gamma in the non 1.01 patched version of the game will allow SM 4.0 to work as well. Unsure if its any faster than patched 1.01.

Hey guys, check this out:

http://de.nzone.com/object/nzone_cry...nloads_de.html

Found it on the German nZone-Download page. I downloaded the PhysX Patch (189 MB) and installed it on my UK Version.

Now i can select "Advanced PhysX Effects" in the Menu and the Water Cannon is also available.

Maybe that's it...

Now i am going to play and have a look if this patch is working properly..

Greetings,

Marky

OK...after installing the patch...horrid...

I don't know if this is the official International Patch or what but I'm having more performance issues with this patch then with the non-patched version.

There are numerous missing textures which result in objects being completely black...Physx performance is the worst I've ever seen in any game (Ageia PPU), and the audio is crackling like crazy...

Missing textures is completely unexceptable...theres no reason for this at all.

Physx performance even with a PPU makes the game completely unplayable...just one set of icesickles breaking results in single digit framerates. I know the PPU isn't as powerful as a new Nvidia GPU...but the Physx in this game, especially a single icesickle breaking isn't nearly as taxing as the Physx in GRAW2...which runs completely flawlessly with the Ageia PPU...what kind of Nvidia card does 1C expect the average user to have? I can't see anything less than a GTX285 running this game with Physx on with acceptable framerates...if you have a 9600GT ->9800GTX ->GTX260 I simply can't see you running this game with Physx and graphics processing at an acceptable performance level.

Sound I don't get...its simply the patch. Non-patched version sound is perfect...patched version sound is broken and very static-ie and crackly...granted I'm using onboard, but its a high end chip that has no problem with any other game.

I hope this patch isn't final or was leaked or something...performance is just horrible overall and makes the game completely unplayable.

Missing textures? Try new drivers? Beta drivers?

I installed it, and the performance are still shitty. Well, it seems this patch is really a joke...

Eureka! THIS IS THE PATCH!!! At least for my version...

Everything I said in my last post can be erased!

Sounds works, textures aren't missing, and my Ageia PPU IS NOT WORTHLESS!!!

Its been handling all the icesickles and water particles thrown at it!

Game framerate is still a little slow, but COMPLETELY playable. Smoother than it was before the patch...and that was before adding all the Physx shit! Physx looks awesome and performs flawlessly with no slowdown what so ever.

NOW THE GAME IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! I WILL NOW REPLAY IT WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE INSTEAD OF A "WTF" FACE!
