If the PhysX patch coming out soon doesn't fix the performance issues I'm done with the game. Who in their right mind makes an extremely intense game and doesn't support modern CPUs? I'm sorry to say, but that is, to use the word literally, RETARDED.

Oh and do the developers even read this? I mean c'mon! This is the official forums and I've never once seen a developer post.

I'm starting to like EA more, and that's sad. Freaking game says a lot of bad things for small-time developers such as 1C Company.

Sorry, but getting bad performance for no reason when I just spent a butt-load of money on building a good computer pisses me off.

My performance with Cryostasis isn't that awful, it's about 30-40 in crowded areas with lots of lights, etc and usually 45-60 in other areas.
This is on all maximum settings, 1440x900.
Of course, since the game only uses one core, this isn't as bad for me as it is for some users, as I have a Q6600 overclocked to 3.6g/hz so it's using a single 3.6g/hz core.
Some of you guys should really try overclocking your CPUs, it helps a lot for this game.

My PC specs:
Q6600 @ 3.6g/hz
GTX 295
4gb RAM
Vista32bit

Now I am a bit miffed here, some say it only uses one core and others have said it uses 2 and 4 cores.

But what really gets me is that I have only a

P4 3.4
2 gig mem
Radeon 3850 agp 512 mb, running shader 3.0 at 1360x768
all graphics ingame set to medium except for shadows set to low
on WinXP Pro SP3, all updates as of today.

And I get 50 to 65 fps in open areas and 40 to 55 fps in crowded ones and I only see slow down and no stutters. But it does stutter upon loading a new area for a second.

Now what gives here, is it because I don't have to use the PhysX stuff because of my agp card ???

Interesting Huh ?

Okay so the game uses all cores on your CPU, but the catch is the game doesn't use each core to it's max. Example: Dual-core CPUs will have each core running ~50%-55% while quad-core CPUs will run each core at ~25%-30%. It should be where quad-core and dual-core both run the game at 90%-100% each designated core.

No, it's not interesting. Your game settings are set extremely low. If I ran at those settings I'd probably get 60 frames per second with Vsync on (maximum). Although at that resolution the game would be blurry and stretched for me making the game unplayable.

EDIT: I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I am merely telling you why your computer performs so well at those settings.
