Who do we blame?

Some of the posters on the Russian forums are running very old rigs with weak specs. And besides we are only what, three odd days into the release?

Personally I'm viewing the Russian early release as an open beta test session.

The dev team will fix things. I know for some of you this statement will not be enough as you feel you are entitled to perfection for some odd reason.

Here is a clue, perfection costs a lot more than $49.99, and certainly more than the $15 that our Russian friends are paying for the right to play what amounts to a beta.

Be patient. By the time of the release in the Western Hemisphere (mid April) things will be better, and will continue to improve as time passes.

cheers.

You may have a point but believe me price has nothing to do with it. Average wage in the Uk is 20k to 40k. There it is 8k. That is why they pay less, however I do agree that a fix is on its way. I'm only upset because of the lack of information by Oleg and his team. I'm also upset about the epi filter, I hope there is an easy way to hack remove it without steam crying about modifications.

Did the Russians at the release parties know they were walking into a beta though?
I don't remember seeing any official talk of problems before the the game was released,that only happened when Russians took the game home and tried to install and run it.
It must be close to a public relations disaster there.
I shall judge on Thursday,when it is released here in the UK.Hopefully there will already be a patch by then.By the time Americans get it the game might be running pretty well.

I agree! The game was running perfectly on hardware that was 2 or even 3/4 years old. As SOON as ubisoft mention something the implamentation of the filter in the past month has ruined EVERYTHING. If they sold us there last successful build, I garentee it would be running perfectly on ATI 4000 series.

I personally hate waiting, especially when it hits thursday and its not there. You'l keep refreshing steam over and over and over. It says 4 days + 2 Hours meaning it will be roughly 7PM on thursday?! wtf?

Heres an idea... stop running around like Chicken Little panicking and looking to "blame" someone.

Wait until you actually have the GAME, put it on your system and see how it goes and then CHILLAX!
