So far I have only played up until you walk out into the sunlight for the first time. I could not stand the pop in. I am eagerly awaiting the ATI update so I can play!

Can't be sure, but I get the feeling the popping isn't going to go away, it just looks like it can't load the textures fast enough on PC. The update will probablt fix crashes and other things. We shall see, hope it fixes everything so I can shoot mutants in the face a few days from now.

yeah i got that feeling to, but it will be fixed in later patch from ID software like a 2-4 weeks probably if it isnt fixed right now.

I don't see how these issues could have been overlooked, especially ATI not even having correct drivers for the game... You'd think they would have noticed something major like that during QA.

Tell them to have a look into this thread ---> http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1236685-ram-and-cpu-detection-problem/ - looks like the auto detect isn't working properly, many people reporting the game detects their CPU is 3MHz and they have 0 MB of video RAM.

Enable console via the launch options button: +set com_allowConsole 1
Open the game, open the console, then scroll to the very top. For most people (myself included), it says I have a 3MHz CPU installed, and 0 MB of video RAM.

Is this the reason for the incredibly shoddy PC performance?

For reference, here are a few of my PC's specs:

Core i7-2600k (Overclocked to 5.0GHz)
16 GB RAM
nVidia GTX 590

This is why you beta test... Not hard to do. The whole slow texture loading when looking around is absolutely horrible, my comp is a beast, let the game use its potential. They also need an advanced graphics options since auto-detect for graphic capabilities always set options way lower then what the PC can handle which is why they other developers add the options.

Lol, are we surprised? I've never had an auto-detect properly detect my hardware on ANY system.

it is... [censored] console ports are also why people pirate PC games, which is why game developers claims there is no money developing for this platform, which is also why blizzard is near bankrupt (which is why WoW is not a [censored] console port)

I agree with you my friend :/ Consoles are keeping PC back..

In 20 plus years of PC gaming this is the WORST performance on a launch I've ever seen. I am a computer professional, I have all my games working well, even the BF3 beta runs well, but this... I am so Angry right now. Maybe Id wanted us to really "Rage" before they fix it. My game freezes every second for about 2 - 3 seconds, absolutely unplayable! New drivers changed nothing. None of the fixes work, editing catalystAI or adding the cache folder, changed NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
