The game runs like melted butter on my system, smooth as silk with everything on high and this company does provide support, as a matter of fact i had the blackness problem when i contacted customer support at 1c, not only did they send me an email with the version of direct x i needed but walked me through step by step to get this game running. I've never seen such dedication before to be honest. A great game with no technical difficulties at all. I have the steam version by the way which supposedly has the patch from what 1c has told me.

While i am fan of 1c games i must say that Cryostasis is not optimized. As you can see from my signature my pc is 3+ years old and Cryostasis is the only 1c game i can not run on max settings. Even Resident evil 5 benchmark runs faster than that.
RESIDENT EVIL 5 MAX SETTINGS 1280X1024=52 FPS AVERAGE! See? And dont forget that RE5(PC version) on MAX SETTINGS HAS WAY BETTER GRAPHICS THAN CRYOSASIS MAX SETTINGS!! My pc can run RE5 perfectly and still it can not run THIS???: (:twi sted:

I don't understand how optimization has anything to to with you being able to run a high end game with settings on high using a 3 year old system? I also don't understand how you can say resident evil 5 looks better when you haven't even played Cryostasis with all settings on high. Resident Evil 5 was designed for a console, so, at the end of the day no matter what tweaks they give it for the pc release its bottlenecked designed to run on a lower end console, be it Ps3 or Xbox. Also, 1280 resolution is not that high and if your statement shows anything, it's that you need to seriously think about upgrading your system.

I played cryostasis with all setings on high but it was run slow that it was impsible to play ! When i tested the RE5 benchmark it gave me 52 fps average and 64 fps max on max setings 1280x1024. Iam sure it looks better than cryostasis on max settings... Anyway RE5 is coming to pc on september 15 so i suggest you to try it then and see if it is better than Cryostasis or not. And while my pc is 3 years old i can run 99% of games perfectly on max settings!!

Well the same thing applied to me when crysis came out with my old pc, i didnt sit and slam crysis due to the fact it wasnt optimized properly, my system was just out of date. Resident Evil will in no way push pcs unless they are going to redesign the entire game from scratch, which i highly doubt with the cost involved. The problem once again is that its designed for consoles which limits it heavily in the advanced graphics category. If you think it looks better than Cryostasis then that is your opinion but ive not seen anything that has the lighting and detail this game has, its an amazing game and is at no technical fault.
