I want to download off Steam but it has not popped up yet. Whenever it does pop up on Steam for preload, would one of you kindly send me a PM? I am going to be doing all my work today so i can play for ~10 hours straight tomorrow.

i will for sure.

i am locked in the "epic" preload thread. over 1000 posts since yesterday.

no life....

I'll just copy my other version into the Steam directory so I'm not worried about preload. Should be done SP tonight and then I can play it again after the patch as well. It's good enough to play twice.

Yes for soft shadows DX11 will be present but there is no tesselation in this game.

Bummer with no tesselation, but DX11 soft shadows is great for ATi since they fail with soft shadows using DX10 from my experience. Is that it though.. Shadows?

shevanel · Mar 1, 2010

soft shadows and multirendering gpu support or w/e are the only dx11 features.. I emailed steam to cancel my preorder.. in the steam user agreement it says you can cancel if theyre notified prior to release.. we'll see.

visually this game wont look any better than dx10 and all the screen shots and talk of dx11 were lies and thats not the reason for my cancellation... fyi.. i just think I wont be playing this game much .

There will be a performance difference from what I've read.. the game should run better in DX11 where available. The big benefit of your GPUs will be the use of HBAO while keeping a playable framerate.

What do you mean by "multirendering GPU"? if you mean crossfire then you're wrong since crossfire is explicitly working in BC2 for me. As far as softshadows.. they were always said to be a DX11 feature.

shevanel · Mar 1, 2010

sorry i used the wrong wording..

i meant this thing.. multithreading.. will be a big part of the performance increase on DX11 cards

jlewis02 · Mar 1, 2010

I don't want to wait till tomorrow dang it I want to play it now.

My in game name is ShadowScorpion

TheLaughingMan · Mar 1, 2010

While it is true the rendering is done on 1 thread, other tasks for the game are scaled and run on other threads, such as physics, A.I. audio, etc. I could be completely wrong on that, but that is what I remember reading some where.

But if you don't like the game fine. Still welcome to come and hang on on the clubhouse.

shevanel · Mar 1, 2010

they might not even cancel/refund me in time... no problem.. i'll play it if i have it.

Should I grab this off of steam, or direct2drive?

digibucc · Mar 1, 2010

if you like steam , go steam. if you don't care, go d2d.

steam community is the draw to use steam. d2d is already out(preloading), whereas steam still can't download.

Wile E · Mar 1, 2010

d2d it is, unless somebody can give me a good reason not to in the next few minutes.. I like steam for it's convenience, but I don't use the community features anyway, so that part doesn't matter to me.

with some games steams updating makes it easier, but this game has an updater. so unless having to install after you download is enough of a reason to switch, go D2D.

Random Steam sales is kinda what has me by the short hairs. I love it when they randomly go "That game you loved like 5 years ago, but forgot about......Boom $5. Buy it." That is great to me.
