Try running the game in windowed mode or see if there's some way to disable the game using both cores (if it is trying). I've had to do similar fixes in L4D and TF2 to get stable framerates and it made things A+++.

So using both cores can actually HINDER performance? Huh.

Additional Spam:
Windowed actually makes things less stable, and manually setting the processes' affinity to one core didn't seem to change much.

Almost 100 percent certain that was a Source Engine issue, though, wasn't it RR?

Mo0 if you find anything out about how to get it to run, post it here. I want to get this so badly, but seeing as how your specs are so close to mine...ya...I'll wait and let you figure it out first >.>

No clue if it was. I've only had the problem with some Source games and not others, so it's hard for me to say.

Man, it's crazy how it seems everywhere it's still almost nothing but issues and workarounds for the PC version, didn't think it'd be anywhere near this bad. Glad I didn't pick it up for PC after all. Our gaming PC laptop is pretty good, but if Moo's having those kinds of problems with his setup with his specs that's ridiculous.

Also I've 1000/1000'd the game, so my playtime is winding down now until the DLC hits, have fun :P

It's been bungled pretty much across the board. The PS3 version is apparently a train wreck of audio and visual issues. And with the level loss bug on the consoles ( I haven't heard of it on PC yet, but I can't be certain of that) it's like everything's fucked up all over again.

At least it's good fun.

Played with Jinn, Mo0, and Lace today. Had a blast. FUCK YOU LACE

What level loss bug is that? I've only barely started as a Hunter on 360, but so far everything has been peachy and explosive fun.

Erm, you can lose all your skill points and never get them back, even after respecing.

From what I've gathered it seems like if you leave a session without using the exit game button (i.e. accepting someone's invite) things get dicey about your levels.

And keep in mind it's not that you level down to 1, but you lose all of your skill points. Your skills are at 0, you're still at your old level, and there's no way of getting those skill points back again. It cripples your character.

I'm guessing he's referring to the bug that causes you to lose all of your skill points that I posted about on the last page. If he's not I have no clue.

Personally aside from little weird things here and there, the only thing I consistently had problems with was the final round of the Commons Arena quests (forget the name). That quest is soooo fucking glitchy, across 2 characters I probably had to quit out of the game entirely 3 or 4 times because enemies wouldn't load in so I'd be stuck in there, or I'd die and go back in and ALL of the enemies had respawned, and other fucked up shit. Did it 3 player tonight and it was a fucking mess of glitches, trigger points not happening, etc.

Edit: Fuck you guys and your quick responses.

Yeah, the PC version has been frustrating for me, particularly in the Online Multiplayer department. I seriously don't know what these guys were thinking when they decided to release with a horribly incomplete online component (using gamespy of all things!). Can't tell you how much time I could have spent playing today if I hadn't been fucking around, forwarding and opening ports, as well as testing over and over again.

But - and this is a BIG but - when you finally do get it working, it's a pure and simple blast! One of the most fun coop gaming experiences I've had probably ever. It was great playing with Skills, Mo0 and Lace tonight, even though I was having some technical difficulties and was a few levels lower than them. Hopefully the inevitably coming patch will smooth out these stupid little bugs that cause stupid huge problems. Scratch that: it had better fix them or I'm going to be a very mad little gamer.

I was disconnected mid-save while playing with a friend of Taco's (who was host) and my character and quests were still oK; then again I don't get most of the shit ya'll do =(

I had a blast with Mo0, Skills, and Jinn (when Jinn wasn't exploding every now and then). Fuck you skills for peer pressure.

Also while playing with Taco's friend we stumbled upon a diablo 2 ripoff Rakk in New Haven, and it dropped this lovely item for me:

The game seems to give a very narrow window for levels. Like, I'm level 15 right now, and I don't think I'd be able to hold out very well with a team of level 18s. It definitely feels like a game where you're best having a solid set of friends to play with every night since once you fall behind, you're going to be way behind. :(

Also had some frustrating issues with getting killed after the last enemy is dead. I just got the key to the mine, and I managed to kill the boss with a ton of HP left, but apparently he had thrown two grenades off of the wall behind me and wound up blowing me up. It gave me the opportunity for the saving shot, or whatever it's called, but there was nothing around so I had to lose a decent chunk of money respawning. :mad:

Also not too fond of how enemies will respawn if you leave a zone and come back, but all of the ammo and treasure chests won't.

Anyone checked out the QR codes scattered randomly through the game?

I found this one on the way to Sledge:

It decoded into:

If you exit out of the game and come back in, though, everything DOES come back.

I bought this game on saturday and I have to say I love mostly everything about it including it's different art style and quirky physics.

Though i've received some of the same glitches as previously mentioned it's not quite enough for me to not play this game...

My favorite actually is one day i was playing with a friend and we had a collection of bandits in one area, for some reason they didn't want to hit the ground so they twitched for a little bit then just stayed suspended in the air. It was amusing to see the collection of their poses together.

One quest in the Dahl Badlands produces a TON of Eridian artifacts so have fun with those.

Currently level 34 and having done like 95% of the shit all alone (the rest I fucked around with a group) and still not tired of it. Nearing that 42 storage cap for the Claptrap achieve and whatnot. Only one Eridian weapon so far, and that's from a quest.

Also it's better picking up class mods than buying them; my respawn amount is about the same as buying a class mod, which is a fucking TON of cash.

I know, but it seems kinda silly that after I kill a boss I should save and quit the game then reload. If they're going to respawn all of the badguys, they should really up their ammo drops or something of that sort. It kinda sucked being almost out of ammo with my normal guns and having to go with a crappy shotgun instead because I had nothing else to use.

But RR, there's a TON of ammo caches lying around.

Aim better?

Enemies drop shit tonnes of ammo.

I dunno there was a few instances where i just wasn't getting the right ammo drops and the weapon i did have ammo for wasn't quite appropriate for the situation (i.e. Ran out of revolver & shotgun and had a sniper in up close combat, which sucks) it doesn't happen often... But it can happen.

Got to the end of the game at Level 35, then after turning in the quest for beating the game hit Level 36. Two million dollars or so, a ton of Eridian gear from plowing through the last area, and delicious orange items. Class mods that I can buy cost me like 5% of my funds :P

Hahaha, that'll change; I just bought a Class Mod that was 3.6 million.

Also even though the money counter maxes at 9,999,999, you can continue to accrue money past that, but you just can't see it, which is kind of lame.
