#112 "This game runs like c-c-c-c-c-c-c-crap"
Well isnt that the truth.. well at first at least, I know some of us (well me at least) have managed to find the right balance of options/settings/chicken blood voodoo to get the game working, at least decently, sometimes brilliantly.
I honestly dont know why any 'retail' release game could need this much tweaking out of the box just to be playable.. some will say 'gearbox' others will blame M$.. but I dunno this is some funky crap. I am just happy I've gotten it to run reasonably well, with all the bells and whistles turned on. And for some reason it works better now, with the same settings, than it did when I first installed the damn game!! I swear this game is 100% M$.. it'll run fine after a day or two of screwing with you for no good reason...
I hope Bungie/Gearbox/M$ give us some aftermarket support... soon!
