After : 24/44/1 (not fluid at all)

Settings maxed out: ...

Out of interest, I tried these same settings, except my resolution is at 1920 x 1080. I got:
avg/max/min 36/97/3

This also wasn’t fluid, with a lot of ‘delayed rendering’ errors. I then set everything to ‘High’, turned SSAO off, and got:
avg/max/min 42/99/7

With these settings there were none of the previous errors, and it was a lot more fluid. I didn’t test the max settings before the patch, but got similar frame rates to your original ones with much lower graphics settings. I have had a substantial increase in frame rates with the beta patch. My cpu speed is at 4.2GHz with a Corsair H100 cooler, psu is a 600W CoolerMaster.

How can you tell which you have installed?

Win XP is DX9.

Vista and Win 7 will be DX10.

Go to your start button and type in the Run slot - dxdiag . It'll be on there . I have DX11 I hope that's not an issue . Not that I can even get the game patched at all .

I can't stand when people complain that they can't run a game, if your computer is a piece of ****, buy a new one or shut up and play 1946 or WOV2 BOB, you know old games that don't require good PC's instead of bitching and begging the developer to make a game that looks like **** so you and everyone else can run it.

Ridiculous.

Very small minded opinion, unfortunately I can't post exactly how I feel about your comment or the thought process involved in making it because my post would be deleted...

Suffice it to say... I think 'your' view is small minded.

My system is top spec AND I have tested the game on a Alienware machine also... This game is just riddled with bugs and performance issues!

This patch goes some way to fixing the problems but from what I've read so far there is still a long...... long way to go!

As my name suggests I am far from happy at spending my well earned money on this game, how on earth something that performs this badly could ever be released to the public FOR SALE is beyond me!

At the very least they should have the decency to give the client some information about these performance issues BEFORE they pay for it!

My comp specs more than match the 'recommended' specs posted... it was not until I actually played the game online and then searched on the internet that I found out how many people are in the same boat!

Crazy world!

Refunds department????
