I can’t get the game to run a anything more than 35fps, no matter what settings I use. That’s on an i5-3570K and a GTX 680, which can chew through almost every game without issue, but GRFS kills it. I’ve checked, and the second you get into the menu it runs the GPU at 100%, and I have no idea why. I think Ubi’s coders just suck.

groggdogg, It's an excellent game no doubt, but for me only on the Xbox.

Such a shame considering how great the old Rainbox Six games were on PC.

I thought the game was quite fun once you get past all the problems. but yeah the PC version was delayed after the console version was released so they should have fix some of these issues.

Hooooooly crap, I completely forgot to note that the command shown to throw a grenade or use a gadget is the LB and RB from the Xbox control-scheme.

Me and a mate bought this game.

We played it for about 10 minutes.

Then we decided the game sucked.

There was way to many bugs, the controls sucked on the PC, The game continually told you what buttons to press even if you didn’t want to do that, which blocked crucial areas of your vision, and in the end it just was not enjoyable. Pity, because the last two GRAW games were awesome.

And the comment about 95% of PC gamers would pirate the game… Well, thats the last game I buy from Ubisoft. If I’m going to be labelled as a pirate anyway, I might as well be one – and if the quality of the game matches GR:FS then I don’t want to spend my money on it anyway.

kablekill, Yeah, it's looking better with each upgrade. I really do like how you can spend achievement points earned in all Ubisoft games on wallpapers, themes or bonus levels/weaponry. I didn't go too much on the latest Anno but the points came in handy for unlocking levels in GRFS Guerrilla mode.

It might be worth noting that the new update to the Ubisoft titles GRWF is turning the Uplay system in to something that going to look a lot Steam and Origin. You can download games through the application that you have picked up in the Uplay store however the titles that you have will work a little different.

Worth having a look.

Would be nice to be able to add games that I own into the Uplay system however it doesn’t look like you can do that at the moment.

Ubisoft can go die in a hole now along with their bad ports..
