TPU, How come the US Servers are so slow?
When I installed it with no shortcuts (as I always do) I see no way to launch it? I had to reinstall it with a Start Menu shortcut, copy that shortcut into the Heaven folder, and delete the Start Menu folder. Then, I am able to launch it from within the Heaven folder, as I always do. Yes, I do not like shortcuts, before anyone asks.
The benchmark monitor resolution defaults to System.
Anyway, awaiting someone making a 3.0 benchmark results thread...
quick download
This BenchMark is Visually Stunning to say the least!
