    I have crap performance as well on my P43.0@3.3 with a Radeon 9800Pro.

    I turned off shadows and Bloom and it runs fine now. I'll mess around with it some more later and try some different variations of settings. For now though I have to do homework.

    ran fine on my barton@2.2 ghz and 6800gt, 1280x960 with AF cranked and all the options on, never diping below 30fps. Since then I chose to dissable bloom and defomration so I can get AA, and my xt-pe runs it great at 1600x1200 with 4xTAA.

    fraps it's teh magic tool.

    What would we freak fps gamers do without fraps these days

    Just play the games probably instead of starring at the Frame counter all the time

    I finished the demo, it's pretty cool, definitley different. I probably won't buy the game though. I didn't like how every character couldn't jump.

    I never changed into them but I was pretty certain the staplers could jump. :)

    One of the characters could jump your right. I just think that just about any character should be able to jump as well, as long as their character design makes it look like they should be able to. i.e. if they have legs. I just like to jump while walking/running places, it makes it a little less boring.

    Im into skiping around in games as well, so the no jumping kinda bothered me as well but the stapler was fun.


    Also, I need to take back what I said about performace; I started a new game and the disco area was hell at the settings I posted above. Droped to 1280x960 and 2xTAA and its back to butter.

    More power to obsessive bunny jumpers, yay! :lol:

    My favourite obscure movement trick has to be forward rolling in Crusaders of Might and Magic... it was just crazy to roll through those huge empty landscapes - and faster than run speed too!
