I'm really enjoying this - didn't realize there were multiple campaigns you can do. Its not just light saber swinging you need to balance that and force powers. The new patch helped - lets hope they remove the cap.

The game runs good for me. I started playing it post patch and I'm getting a kick out of the game.

I'm about 2.5 hours into it and tonight my computer sounded like a fan was slowly increasing it's RPM. My 8800GT was running extremely hot for some reason. The game must've pushed it somehow.

its doubtful they will remove the cap.. but its not really that big of a deal.. people are just fussing over it because they dont know how frame rates work in comparison to refresh rates on their monitors.. and since theres no real graphic choices in the game its not going to matter anyways...

yeah.. woopy i got 60fps.. oh crap it looks exactly the same as it did at 30fps.. lets find something else to complain about now..

Well I bought it, I really enjoyed the PSP version quite a bit and I liked the PS3 version decently well. I'm hoping by the time it gets here that 2560x1600 is supported and I can see it in true glory at that resolution. It really was a gorgeous game at 720p on my PS3.

I'm forcing AA and AF from the CCC, I'm at my monitors native res of 1680 and the game looks great. I dunno what you are complaining about, the game looks amazing! 30 fps kills my eyes though, we need to unlock that cap or at least cap it at 60 like U3 games. Honestly, from your post I'd assume you haven't even played the game yet.

seems like removing the 30fps cap would make the game much better according to most people here

I dunno, that aside and it's still the most half-assed port I've ever encountered.

I decided to bite, first impressions so far: Holy fucking install time batman! This is hands down the longest install I've ever had to do. I'm about 40% through at the moment

It was a long install on mine too and after the wait and anticipation I only played for a short time. Not keeping my interest like I thought it would. Will try it again later.

As someone stated some time ago in this thread, you can enable AA in this game!

For ATI Radeon users, rename SWTFU.exe to Bioshock.exe
Set the desired AA level in the Catalyst Control Center and make sure to disable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing (transparency) AAA (else the graphics look really weird).

I have a 4870 512MB playing at 1920x1200 and 4xAA with a constant 30fps (well almost).

Nvidia users should also be able to do something with nhancer (I don't know).

yup took 58 minutes or what ever to install.. mostly because of the stupid WMV9 HD audio which isnt needed for pc.. but was the first sign that i knew it was a complete console to PC port without actually reading about it.. the audio alone is 11 gigs..

I enjoy it for what it is. Just wish they'd remove the cap.
