Wow... Medium settings look TERRIBLE. Why is the gun pitch black while everything else is well lit?

Sounds like its DX9 only atm and ultra settings are disabled as well.
 
well I reverted back to 163.44 and I am getting like 30fps with one card....still I mean wasn't this supposed run MAXED on a GTX? I mean Ultra Settings are disabled so this isn't even maxed I hope its just cause its the beta

also....AA for me is not working for some reason
 
This beta really just seems to be for testing the multiplayer capabilities. I'll hold my opinion till the demo as that should display close to a finished product.

Try not using SLI? SLI might be causing some problems with the game? What res are you running at?
 
Doesn't look particularly "stunning" either, really. No better than FarCry from what I'm looking at, honestly.

Something more "serious" though... some are making statements about environmental things with DX9, such as trees not "collapsing". Is that true?

The destructibility of the environment is coded into the game.

It cant be different for DX9/10, it's only supposed to "look better" with DX10... or can it?

Please tell me you don't need Vista to actually have the environment in the game at least react the same, and they somehow made it more of an issue by actually effecting what the environment does between DX9/10.... that cant be...

There was a video released a couple months ago comparing DX9 vs DX10. Both have collapsing trees. The beta does not. I assume this is so because it is a multiplayer beta.

Whew... that's what I thought.

Watched all the vids, and DX9 looked the same, with the exception of a few effects that weren't anything huge, in my opinion.

Thanks for clarifying.

btw, you arent allowed to talk about, or post pics from the beta. Try to have some morals, and not do it.

Paaalease get a life, these NDAs are as retarded as the people that pay to d/l crap off fileplanet
 
I'm guessing that this is like the recent CoH expansion beta, where the full res textures aren't included so as to keep the download size reasonable.

Just a thought.
 
Some said taking a screen shot compressed the pictures. The shots posted at nvnews look much better at higher res/settings.

I loved this comment about the youtube video.

is he playing with monkeys, killed about 8 people just like that, what ****ing idiot trying to climb that ladder

I'm a founder, but I don't see anywhere to get a key for the game. Am I just blind? :confused:
 
looks piss poor on medium settings. i guess im gunna have to wait till the new intel quad cores come out along with the new high end cards by NVIDIA
 
So am I hearing this right? Some folks with 8800's having problems running it smooth? Jeebus I just upgraded to a GTX myself. :eek:
 
what did u expect though? a game like is will require a 9 series nvidia card to run this on ultra high settings. this is the reason why i am being patient and waiting for the next high end cards to come out
 
I don't know where people are getting this single GTX = Maxed graphics from. The last developer interview I read through (from around 3 months ago) said that they had made an engine that would scale with future hardware and that even 8800GTX SLI wasn't enough to run it with everything maxed.

Surely just looking at the promotional videos people can work out that it isn't going to look like that on an 8800GTX. It's not witchcraft.
 
I don't know what's up with having to pay for betas/demos now, but it's complete BS.

Enough about the graphics, how does it play?

Agreed. Has anyone actually played it? Or just looked at the screens, lol.

I have, gameplay is ok, I mean if the fps wasn't so erratic then 30fps would feel smooth, but I don't know there are NO physics what so ever, so I am gonna wait for the actual demo

also Ultra settings are disabled and DX10 abilities are also disabled so I mean a GTX in SLI should do High settings...15fps is not acceptable
 
it's a beta.

qw ran like total shit until the second beta which was worlds smoother. don't panic yet.

People said Ultra option was unable to be selected, plus we have no idea what settings many people are using or how much the SS is compressed.

I upgraded to a GTX not long ago also, but we have to remember that this is a BETA, and it's a multiplayer BETA. Which we all know effects the experience anyway. So, let's just wait until the demo, or the release whichever comes first. I'm not too worried about it...yet.
 
Well, I am running it on a Q6600 with 8800GTX and im not impressed at all. But like others said, it is a Beta so we'll see.
