Widescreen Gaming Forum

I've been playing the game on and off all day now ... I think it is awesome ... by far the best game I have played in a good few years ... it's just the sort of thing I like ... :mrgreen:

Incorrect.

I bought the game yesterday, and the first thing I did was patch it to 1.01. It most certainly did NOT add widescreen support.

Ok ok, my bad. I just saw their update and assume that it provided WS support. I mean, it's pretty rare that an Ubisoft game doesn't have WS support.

No doubt the game is fun. Especially in Coop Story mode. I love the cover system. It's very similar to Gears of War and the 360 version of GRAW.

I also read that the patch performs worse, but since a friend and I are already patched up and running, I don't want to uninstall and reinstall just to see if the performance is better. It performs fine on my system for the most part. I am getting on average 30-60 fps, but it dips to the low 20's at times which can feel a little sluggish.

so what do you guys think , should i buy this game can i run it in 1680x1050 on my pc , what do you think ? only hope it perfroms better than double agent cause that game ran awful on my sis i need a new processor ...

I would say you would probably want to try running it at a lower resolution than 1680x1050. The game sure could use some performance tweaking. Your video card is basically the same one I have, but my processor is faster and I can play at 1680x1050, but find that my performance is about 10 FPS faster if I drop to 1440x900. If you can live without shadows, the performance is much smoother. So perhaps you could run 1680x1050 without shadows.

It's all highly subjective. What is smooth to some is unplayable to others. I am a bit of a framerate junkie, so I have a low tolerance to choppy gameplay.

I just got the game today ...
I haven't installed the patch as I read on the UBI forums that it slows down the performance ... might install it if I run into problems whilst playing the single player game.

What's your experience ... have you noticed any slowdown after installing the patch ?

I may have missed something here: when i ran the game for the first time it immediately connected to ubi server and installed the 1.01 patch automatically. am i the only person this has happened to?

No ... that happened to me to but I hit cancel or stop as soon as I saw it and then made a desktop shortcut to the games .exe as opposed to the launcher so that it wouldn't happen again.

I see. i guess i would have to re-install to see the performance difference in v1.00 cause right now with v1.01 its running smooth but seems to max out @ 42~47 fps

If it is running smooth than I would leave it ... it is just something I read on the UBI forums ... it doesn't mean it is fact.

should i get this game , is it cool paddy ? what performance are you guys getting with an x1900xtx , i dont want to buy a new gpu until there are more dx10 cards available and waiting for ati , but will the game run bad on my sys , what are x1900xtx users getting in rainbow six vegas. thanx in advance
