"Logitech G15 display now fully supported in MP and SP "

"In single player, AI can now be knocked over while running into them in speed mode."
*goes ingame to try* hehe, sounds fun.

Yay! G15 support!

(on a side note the G15 refresh blows, and changes the layout sufficiently to warrant a re-review)

am currently downloading and will report back on if the Very High changes make any appreciable difference.

I ran everything on very high through the entire game. I have a 8800 GTS 512... I never felt the need to turn it down.

I really enjoyed it too, it has an old scifi feel to it and the action is very intense. I look forward to the next instalment.

out of interest, at what resolution?

640x480?

I have this on all high, no AA at 1280x1024, and I get between 28 (in very intense areas) to 40 in more relaxed areas.

This is on core2duo e8200@ 3.4ghz, 2gb ocz platinum @ 850, 4-4-4-12, HD 3850 512mb 790, 2100.

But when I put on AA the fps plummets, but it still remains quite smooth.

That's because of your ATI video card, ATI cards suck with AA on, on nviida cards, there is very little performance hit with AA turned on.

There is a performance hit on any card when AA is enabled.
