Yeah, this insanity has got to stop. Each year it seems fewer and fewer games come out that I actually like, so to keep paying $1000+ for just a couple games annually makes no financial sense for me!

I remember when this game came out. I saw that the minimum RAM requirement was 4MB but that 16MB was recommended. I distinctly recall thinking that there was no way a PC game would ever require 16MB RAM!

Grateful for the chance to play the demo, but after doing so it's a hard pass for me.

Here's a little update on the sequel and it sounds pretty ambitious! https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/fallout-creator-tim-cain-is-consulting-on-the-outer-worlds-2/

I finally finished it over Christmas/New Years break and really enjoyed it. Overall, it ran superb for me with only one CTD over the entire game. My favorite weapon ended up being the heavy machine gun although I also liked the grenade launcher. The Cobra cannon and rocket launcher seemed harder...

I sure wish we'd get some encouraging news about the sequel!

Yeah, hard to get excited about something that's been in development for 10 years and is still (likely) 3 more years away! Wake me up when it's 3 months from release and then I'll try and muster some enthusiasm.

Well, that sucks! I wonder if there's a trainer available that would allow me to enjoy a few more rounds of said weapon? :sneaky:

I finished the Quarry level this past weekend and didn't notice any hitches or frame drops, although I did enjoy the sniper rifle immensely (and wished they weren't so stingy with the bullets). Furthermore, have only had one CTD right after the first level so I suppose I've been unusually lucky...

I remember the Doom 3 IHV Alpha that was allegedly leaked by ATI. Of course, it was so unoptimized and ran like crap, but I really liked the 3 levels that were included and were disappointed when they didn't make it into the final game.

Been using them for almost a decade and no issues, though I always checkout with PayPal just to be on the safe side.

For Christmas '98, my girlfriend (now wife) bought me a 4MB Diamond Monster 3D video card. I'll never forget the difference I saw the first time I fired up HL with the Glide graphics acceleration versus the onboard video. Everything looked so much better and ran so much smoother.

Hmmm...I haven't made it there yet but I'm definitely interested to see if I experience the same issue you're having. Fortunately, with the extra time off for Thanksgiving I'll hopefully be able to get in some gaming.

Patch #2 is out today with a lengthy list of fixes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1681430/view/3827558145049617480

I'm really enjoying it and haven't had any crashes or VRAM issues. I let it auto-configure the graphics and it set it for 4K and DLSS. However, I wish that they'd had the budget to make this a AAA game, as it really could have really been great!
