I can play it on a Geforce440 go laptop card (only DirectX 7). It looks like crap but runs fine.

Good god. Ive been playing for 2 hours now.. Im amazed. Really. This game is incredible. The physics, the mood, Im ****ing losing my mind. Though this one part Im stuck in. Its this room you go into, its FILLED with explosive barrels. A whole bunch, then the little metal things start flying at you.. dont know where to go then. Anyone have a clue? Everywhere I go is a dead end... :huh:

I'm stuck in this room too. I figure you have to climb the ladder,. walk along the pipe,. go into the next room and turn the wheel. Then everything floods. I don't know where to go from here :no:

Anyone past this?

go up the ladder across the pipe to the other side, go through the tunnel up the ladder across the pipes to the other side of room, if you look down youll see a valve, turn it, go across into barrel room, down to sup lvl then through the pipe that was inacessable. from there get air(youll need it) swim to bottom free the Wire pylons to where they float, then jump on them to other side, congrats your through that maze

was it just me, or immediatly afte ryou left the train, you foudn out how to throw things, then immediatly started throwing baggage at teh combine and have them chase you around teh baggage cart all ticked, then continued to find everythign along they way and throw them at everything (even took the TV in the room witht he couple, yanked it from the wall and threw it at them)

its your system.. your overclocking and thats affecting the windows and game itself.. i've seen this happen on many other games.. it may work fine on some-but others it will just crap out.. :/

reduce the clock core by a few mhz.. see if that improves..

if its the pipe in teh barrel room, follow the pipe, dont try to go through that area where the buzzbirds came from

I dont get it though. I walk along that pipe and I cant jump that high. Theres a beam in the way. What the hell.. :cry:

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.
    • "performance issues? what performance issues?!"
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
