Go to your ingame video settings and disable screenspace ambient occlusion, that should fix your problem.

ONe thing that has been fixed is the occasional empty little boxes dancing around my screen. However, in some zones when my weapons fire (ground zones) the floor tiles turn black in sync with the gun fires.

I knew I shouldn't of updated to SP1.

Simple things can go all kinds of wonky on your system.

It's also up to you to supply the burden of proof that your system is not running fine. You're the one making the oriiginal statement. In a court of law you have to proof your problem first, then it's up to the other side to try and disprove it. Pretty much the same way in the scientific process, you have to prove your theory otherwise it's just words.
Upgrading to SP1 was a good idea... actually not upgrading for so long was the bad one. Vista SP1 solves a number of the issues that gave it such a bad image at launch.

For someone who thinks his comp should run this game great ect ect, you sure didnt know much about turning down some of the most basic settings ..


makes me think if you really even know what your talking about here..

I run between 40 and 60 fps with a older 8800gts 320 meg card and a dual core 3.2 with 6 gigs ram on vista 64.. with all the settings maxed besides AA / Shadows / Bloom at 1920 by 1080 on a 50 inch 1080 p plasma and game runs fine for me..


sounds like you have something either turned up to high , or a common problem most overlook .. running the game in window mode but maxing it out to full screen .. this will cause all types of game shutter and video lag..
make sure in option window that your running in full screen and not window mode maxed to full screen, I know it sounds stupid , but this really does cause problems...

The game has been pretty fun thus far, but by release I was hoping that it would be optimized. Doesn't look like that's going to happen. There also seems to be a major input lag regarding movement (WASD) and camera rotation.
Performance has dropped significantly since OB and CB for some reason? I still have everything on max, but it never used to drop before 60fps for me. It certainly doesn't feel as smooth anymore!

My game runs real smooth.
Only the rubberbanding is driving me nuts.

Turn of dynamic lights and it will be fine.

Yep, seems to be running MUCH better now though in other games I can handle dynamic lighting / shadows well. Dunno, but it's pretty nice now. Controls are still slightly sluggish but I guess I can deal with that.

My computer barely meets the minimum requirements and it runs fine in terms of lag. Minimal rubberbanding. I do have the graphics turned way down but I don't have any actual gameplay glitches or lag.

edit: Looks like Beraskus is having the same deal.
I had lots of lag until I updated my NVIDIA drivers to 196.xx ... also I had to go Windows 7 64 bit for it to work well (it's a Mac Pro so really this game is the only reason I got Windows, never tried XP or Vista before).
