Don't blame Epic, plenty of developers don't have this issue with the UE3. But I downloaded it, and my god, I cannot believe how bad the problem is. Literally, half the textures in game won't load, no exaggeration either. There's no INI files to edit either, it's either a registry edit which barely remedies the problem, or the hex editor which can crash your game completely forcing a reinstall.
I was thinking of purchasing this, because the demo was good on Xbox, and the concept itself is good, but with this bug, no chance in hell. There is evidence of zero QA on the PC port. How this can slip past bug squashing is simply not fathomable. Crap, pure crap on Raven's part. Ve3d's small article doesn't show how bad this bug is, because like I said half the textures fail to load, no matter how long you sit and wait for them to load. And if they do load, more dissappear.
It's a shame because I would say this is Raven's best game in a very long time.
Glad I pirated this.
