Specs:

AMD Athlon 4200+ X2
2 GB RAM
AMD A8N SLI-DELUXE
2 X NVIDIA GEFORCE 7800 GTX
WINDOWS VISTA 64

I notice that i get a huge performance DECREASE, when i play the demo with SLI activated. doesnt matter if i choose Split-Screen Rendering or Alternate Frame Rendering. The Performance is very bad and i get huge mouselag aswell.

When i disable SLI and only use one card, i get no mouse-lag and better performance.

I have the same effect with the Bioshock demo, so it could be that one of my cards is somehow damaged. Not sure tho,- i get no bluescreens or stuff like that.

naw man your video card isnt broken,

EPIC SLI IS BROKE PLEASE SEE THIS -- SLI IS BROKEN -- SLI IS BROKEN --

Windows vista x64 with sli enabled 10 - 20 FPS on max settings with a resolution of 1680*1050

With sli disabled i get 60 fps


163.75_forceware_winvista_64bit_english_beta drivers used

i also have 4 gigs of memory ddr 800 and a core 2 dou 6700


Also when using the sli split frame redering indicator bar it shows nothing, almost as if the game is rendering through software or very little gpu usage to the point whereits not noticable on the indicator.

Epic please take a look at this issue, its a big one

ok, mine's a wierd one;
when I first installed the demo, it loaded the game, then partly minimised and gave the kernel error, I restarted and booted it again, and my monitor kinda stopped responding, I tried to alt-tab but it didn't work, till around 20 seconds after I tried, anyway, it gave me the kernel error again, and then my resolution was stuck at 640x480 .
I really want to try this out, but I was wondering if it could be my monitor?, it's a pretty old CRT one, but I love it.

ok, system specs

With the UK keyboard issue I worked around it by:
1. Swapping to the desktop ( ALT+TAB ) typing my email into notepad
2. copying the text
3. Swapping back to the game and pasting the text

Game is incompatible with certain resolutions, to play it properly i had to use window mode (reminds me of crysis beta, they had same issue) also the postprocessing had to change to mute else vCTF wouldnt work.

I get to the Intel C2d splash and then it crashes to dekstop. Looks like video driver related to me but I dunno - can post more if needed. Reboot didn't help. Updating to the 7.10 (from 7.9) ATI Catalyst did not help.

I just installed the demo a half hour ago and ran into nothing but problems playing the game.

I tried Heat Wave first and it seems to lockup a few seconds into the game and my PC completely gives out requiring a manual restart. My guess is the Video or something. I then tried the second map and got a good 5 minutes in before the same thing happened. I have set all the settings pretty much at the lowest which is 640x400 and detail at the lowest.

My specs are
- Gigabyte - GA-8IPE1000 Pro
- Intel Pentium 4 2.6GHz / 8KB L1 Cache / 512KB L2 Cache / 800MHz FSB / with HyperThreading
- 4 x 256MB / Ultra Dual Channel / 1024MB / PC3200 DDR / 400MHz / 2-3-3-7-T1
- Maxtor MaXLine Plus III 250GB / 7200RPM / 16MB Cache / SATA-150
- ATI Radeon 9600XT / 128MB DDR / AGP 8x / TV Out & DVI
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS / 7.1 Surround Sound
- Windows XP Professional SP2

The game reminds me of the graphics of doom and Wolfenstein 3D at 640x400 on lowest detail. But the gameplay was great. It reminded me of UT99 instead of UT2004.

I have the latest ATI drivers installed. ATI Catalyst Software Suite v7.9.
