No, but

the dude at the bottom of the ladder got shot to pieces! :blush:

B) No matter how BAD the performance is on ATI cards (it seems nVidia cards do a bit better, maybe not...)

No, you're right -- Monolith screwed ATI users over, because it runs like crap on every ATI system I've played it on or my friends.

[Civilian]

AMD x2 4400+ @ 2.4

7800GTX OC'd @ 470mhz/1.32ghz

2gig ram

1024x768 everything at max, runs fine, slight slowdown in places although that could just be the game design, maybe should run it with fraps on

be nice if it had a built in benchmarker

What you on? You say it goes slow in places when you have that spec? If it goes slow, then I doubt your PC is that powerful then. No way would it lag on that spec lol.

I loved the demo, and I think it ran pretty fine for a system like mine: (posting this makes me feel so obsolete, everyone and their topnotch systems :p) AMD XP 2500+ Barton + 512mb ram + 9800 Pro 128mb). The settings I played at were aumatically detected + a few manual options (soft shadows enabled, detailed chars, etc). The resolution was 800x600 if I recall correctly.

you dont have to feel too obsolete, i'm still running a barton 2500+...of course, i have mine OC'ed to 2.4ghz so it's more like a 3700+ or 3800+ or something like that....with a gig of ram and a 256 meg radeon 9800 pro, it ran quite smoothly for me on 800x600. I thought about trying 1024x768, but after playing through it once, i didnt feel the need to play it again. it sure was fun, but it was a hell of a big download for about 5 minutes of gameplay :rolleyes:

[Jeebus McChrist]

This game ran pretty decently on my system:

Athlon XP 2600+ 2.4 GHz, 512 MB, Nvidia GeForce 4 TI 4200 64 MB.

The length of the demo was a total gyp, but damn the five minutes you did play were fantastic.

[sanctified Veteran]

As a Sierra game I'm quite surprised they didn't use the Source engine which I think would have provided superior results.  That is one thing I have to hand to Valve, they kept the feel of the original and thats as good as it gets IMO.

586335958[/snapback]

Sierra its just the publisher. The game its made my Monolith and its powered by their inhouse engine called Lithtech

1) FEAR is a PC game, post it then in PC gamer section

Yes, it does.

Merged

2) There is a main thread for FEAR

Never saw it, cheers.

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...view=getnewpost post it there

3) you don't need .net framework for fear

You did with the ati drivers.

4) you haven't mentioned what video/sound cards you have

9800 pro.

5) demo specifically asks for directx 9c (june)

April, i can take a screenshot if you wish.

586340266[/snapback]

well, i'm guessing that the game was slow for him in similar places that it was slow for me...there are a couple times when it has to render something or do something that is a little more graphic and/or processor intensive than the rest of the game...so it makes sense that it would lag a tiny bit, even on that system...

plus, he said that he was running fraps and i dunno what experience you have with fraps, but whenever i run it when i'm playing a game, it slows me down quite significantly

[PetrucciSatriani]

My specs:

P4 3.0ghz HT

1GB RAM

6800GT

Ran the game maxed out at 1024 and very smooth. Looks like it was meant for nVidia cards. They don't seem to be making many compromises with those that own ATI cards though... :no:

Overall: Sweet game. I'll be buying. :yes:

[Pajter]

What the hell? :s

I downloaded and installed the demo, but whenever I try to run it, Firefox just pops up and shows this advertising thingy... :s What is that all about?

This is the site that pops up: http://promos.vugames.com/feardemo/

[Si Veteran]

^ That is supposed to pop up when you exit the demo... It's still annoying then too :p

Maybe your game is crashing out early?

[Pajter]

Yeah I seem to have lots of problems with games crashing early, I had exactly the same problem with GTA:SA :s Dammit, I really want to play this game >.<

btw, specs are

AMD 1800+

Geforce 4 MX440

265MB RAM

I know it's crap, but it still should run dammit :pinch:

[eXsub]

It doesn't work for me. im so anoyed by this.

Im using 9800 pro

1gb ram 3200 corsair

7200rpm 160gb

latest ati drivers

directx 9c (april)

umm, thats it. someone please help - if i dont play this game i will die.

[InternalStorm]

I can totally believe this game will lag on the best systems. There is definately something wrong :p 6800 GT/X800 XL cards and up should be able to at least do 1280x1024, not a lowly 1024 just to be playable. By maxed out (you people with nVidia cards), do you mean full AA/AF as well or just everything on max quality settings?

definatly had more elements in this game than doom 3's comparison on being scary, plus the water effects are amazing too bad my system is ou, tdated and doesnt play this game well. first time i was loaded into the interactive level after the intro i was instantly noclipped fell threw thew ground.

That's just... awesome!

Well don't play games that require specifications double what yours are.

[Pajter]

I've checked the minimal system req's and it should still work...

best bet; complain to the manufacturers that their hardware isn't fast enough - if they ask which product you have be sure to quickly reply " but it was suposed to run games, i hate you"
