Unfortunately the devs here did a terrible job threading for dual cores. The game still runs great until you do a few things which include switching weapons in the middle of a fight (causes severe lockups for ~30 seconds or less) and something in the side-mission scripts which will cause whatever you're doing near the objective to make the game lockup.
What's worse is the fact that, in prior experience, THQ is one of the worst companies when it comes to patching games. If you ever played Red Faction 1 online you'll know what I'm talking about, atleast half of the games had players noclipping through walls at insane speeds with rail drivers that shot roughly 3000 rounds a second. They never patched this, ever.
Nevertheless, the game is still terrific. I just hope THQ has gotten over itself and decided to start actually supporting their games for longer than 3 seconds after release.
O dunno, I got dual core and no lockups whatsoever.
[QUOTE=johanz;17370665]O dunno, I got dual core and no lockups whatsoever.[/QUOTE]
Alot of people are, peruse the steam forums. I'm running a PC with a dual core @ 2.66 Ghz and I get the lockups (which are apparently fixable via running in windowed mode).
Maybe, and I know I might get some boxes or disagrees here, but maybe the lag spikes and freezes are the result of piracy? Maybe you're using a bad crack that causes problems with the performance of the game?
It's the only explanation I can think of. The hanging and lockups seem to have no pattern at all across users. Some people with quads have lockups, some with duals can run the game fine, etc. Maybe it's a matter of some people using a bad crack that causes problems with the game and some people using the official exe and running it fine?

Bought it off of steam so that's not an issue, not to mention some cracks actually [i]improve[/i] the preformance of a game. I forget the actual example here, but I believe it was GTA IV that ran faster with a crack?

It all depends on the crack, really. Some run faster by bypassing certain things, some run slower by introducing problems. None of them are the same.
So you bought the game and still have problems? Well then my hypothesis is shot.
Oh well, hopefully it'll get figured out or patched eventually.
[QUOTE=FunnyGamer;17367948]Also, anyone else being forced to play bagman/team bagman on the DLC maps? I hate it.
I can play all the other modes if I set up a custom match with a party.[/QUOTE]
Still having the issue.
I might have to get a ripped version to fix it, which is sad because I bought it.
Fuuuuucck went to EB Games and they didn't have a copy, and thats the only game store in my area >:c
I'd prefer if the nano rifle caused the singularity vortex, not just the explosion.

With facepunch members obviously.
Anyone know how to reset the buildings or get the reconstructor into sp?
It would also be nice to disable the EDF since they shoot and detonate my remote charges prematurely :(
I have completed the game but only the massive bridge in dust respawns :( :( :(
Oh man, word of advice.
EDF APCs make wonderful battering rams and escape vehicles.
[QUOTE=FunnyGamer;17372507]Also, where is this "weapons" file or something that I'm hearing about?[/QUOTE]
its packed up in misc.vpp_pc inside RFG you gotta unpack it join #factionfiles on gamesurge.net for more info
How do modded weapons react in mp? Same as in gta4 where you can cheat, or it actually doesn't work here?

Then... Is it a dual core issue? Seems fine with quad core... Except for the graphics display crashing part on my end.
It's tons of fun just observing the EDF and the miners interact. Like a few moments ago, some EDF guys were holding out in a residence in Oasis. Apparently one of the miners got mad at them pushing people around and started an insurgency. Then around 3 other guerillas joined. They fought for some time, until just one guerilla was left. Then a white EDF soldier shot him in the gut with a gauss gun and the guy got smashed against a wall, breaking it. Then the EDF soldier turned to me and said "Get the FUCK out of here"
It was p. cool
[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;17348120]Do you have the latest video card drivers installed?[/QUOTE]
Everything is updated to the max! All of them are the latest drivers.
Playing small games with your friends on custom matchmaking is awesome. [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=17376275&postcount=1564]Yesterday me and my friend did hammer only fights on giant scaffoldings.[/url] We should get some kind of facepunch game going.
Is there any way to 'cling' to walls RainbowSix style?
I swear I did it once by accident, but can't find out what I did.
