I'm not sure if brilliant trolling or just dumb.

I'm pretty sure the xbox build doesn't let me set the screen rez to 19x10, or let me choose LAN or internet play, so I'm not sure why this is called the "xbox build" based on a couple of stray files.

Wow.. you say I missed the point and then proceed to make a one line summary of my rant, noting the point that I supposedly missed, right in the next sentence.

As far as I'm concerned, If you're problem is that you want absolutely ZERO tinkering whatsoever, just plug and play only no installs no nothing, then get a console!

Yeah you've managed to completely miss the point, ranting on some tangent. Some people don't mind tinkering with things like config files for AA settings but that doesn't mean they want every port to be a buggy mess either.

Anyways it's both hilarious and sad that they literally released the wrong build of the game. Hopefully the majority of these problems are fixed tonight.

I'm not even sure "Techland" knows what a desktop PC is. In the game, I scavenged a battery from one! And no, I don't buy that it was the CMOS battery.

HEY that's a horrible insult to one of the best eras of PC gaming!

You have a selective memory, it was also an era filled with constant tinkering to get many PC games to even run. Some of us don't look back fondly on that kind of experience.

That's why I don't preorder or buy games on day one anymore. It's never a good idea to give game devs and publishers the benefit of the doubt.

saw this over at GDN:
A patch is set to be pushed out to North American PC version owners today. Destructoid received a list of fixes that would be in the day one patch for the game and here’s everything you can expect

So now only did Techland and Deep Silver know the game had some serious issues, they knew exactly what they were and again, instead of pushing out the release date, simply pushed out a broken game or rather, an unfinished product. No, it’s not the first time a company has done it, and will probably not be the last, but it’s starting to become a bad habit for the industry.

From what I can tell, this appears to be a debug build which is why debug commands like noclip work. All Techland needs to do is replace the .exe. to fix this issue.

I guess that explains how I went noclip for no reason whatsoever midgame last night, completely broke everything and I couldn't get out of it. I finally had to shut the game down.

The config edits are in game

You can edit vsync, AA, AF and etc from your copy in-game? I didn't see it there. All I saw was keyboard bindings. Now I'm wondering if they pushed another build and I'm on the wrong one.

The graphics look pretty solid but those animations are CRAP. I really dont want ot support a company that does such a crappy job on a console port to PC. I think I'll sit this one out until it hits the bargain bin in a few weeks? I'm having WAY to much fun in Deus EX & Red Orchestra 2 comes out soon too.
