Yeah, as large as the game is, its over a 2 hour download at 2 MB/s. Considering it is 12 PM EST, downloads would have had to start at 10 AM EST, and considering it is not a weekend, not many people have had a chance to download or play it at all yet. Hopefully it doesn't have performance issues, or if it does hopefully there is a driver fix or patch coming soon, because I don't remember any performance issues with the first one.

Downloaded it last night and played it for 3 hours, Direct X 11 isn't optimized at all, horrible proformace. Checking the Steam Forum shows im not the only one it doesn't work for. I heard AMD released new drivers today, so I'm going to try that tonight. though turning off direct x 11 and using 9, it runs better then Aslyum.

It's a little stuttery even with the 11.11b on my 6870 but I haven't had huge reasons to turn it off.

Especially in scene transitions...it just goes boom for a second and then comes back to being smooth.

the DX11 wasnt amd's problem...it was the developers. They're working on a patch. I had the same issues with my evga 560. Turning off DX11 fixes it.

This has to be the best-looking Unreal Engine 3 game to date. The developers, artists, and animators have done a really good job with the graphics and animations. I was especially impressed with the use of Scaleform for the in-game HUD and UI. It's cool because it uses hardware-accelerated vector graphics which means it won't have that annoying low resolution texture effect.

Is there any point to complete augmented reality trainings? I completed 3 of them to get grappling hook update, but now there are 2 more missions which are quite hard :(.
