Tried Rainbow Six Vegas 2 ont he 9800 GX2...Unreal 3 engine..really?

Ubi-Soft is notorious for delivering games already in need of a patch. They make great games but they always release them before they have all the bugs worked out.
We used to have LAN parties at work, and Raven Shield always gave us the most grief trying to set up a game.

Is it already out?

I thought the 15th was the release date......

That's very strange. I use g92 8800gts, and framerate never drops below 60fps on max settings. The resolution is only 1280x1024 though. What resolution do you run it at?

Okay, 20-30fps on 8800Ultra is definitely not normal. It doesn't like his/her computer.
My 8800gts is oced to 780mhz, but still shouldn't make that much difference. It probably have to do with software. I use Omega modified driver, which is supposed to be better than stock Nvidia drivers. But I haven't noticed significant gain on other games.

What windows you running? Vista 64

yeah but you could have Xp 64 lol. Hmmm I'll try testing agian. Did you max out 8 X AA as well and shadows?

It might not like SLi just yet:S

The original Rainbow Six Vegas ran like **** on the PC as well.

I found the problem, there is no SLI profile for Vegas 2, I'll need to wait for the new drivers lol

oh lol

Boooo lan games are a pain in the ass over Hamachi cause it only works with class C addressing

Raven Shield was a lot of fun. Ahh glitching out of the maps....memories.

Despite the poor reviews I would like to play Assassin's Creed just for the graphics.

Give it time, the game is not even released yet....but i did get multi player lan to work. my friend used an older version of Hamachi.

Game plays mostly at 60fps(vsync 1280x1024) but sometimes gets lower with effects(dust in town). Still much more playable them Raven Shield was when it came out(i was ok, but allot of people had issues with shadow bugs and stuff). There are still some bugs, but patches should fix that.

I still think that Unreal 3 looks alot better than both Vegas' and maintains Over 60 FPS on almost any card.

Awesome power!

I hope the source engine gets a new make over for ep 3 since its the series closer

Careful what you say about pirating. This is a Public Forum. The police can view it. So can the RIAA, MPAA and all the software vendors, and of course the people who run the site can see it as well. Rob Wright hates the pirating scene with a passion. Though I like him, I wouldn't put it past him to send a little nudge to someone to record your IP.

Back on topic:

I thought the Gfx for Vegas 1 sucked. Especially considering it used the unreal 3 engine. Gears of War used the same engine and looks sweet. The game is unoptimized to the extreme causing massive stuttering, but it looks hella pretty (Crysis looks better though).

Considering how this is the year 2008, Ubisoft did a crappy job with the graphics.

I never said you did. I was referring to dagger, who blatantly stated he pirated the game.

I need to try some of these games out sometime. I bought Quake 4 just for the graphics and actually enjoyed it. In reality though, I think this summer I'm going to go backwards. I'll probably play some M2TW, RTW, Tie Fighter (go DOS & Win95!), and some Oblivion (with a LOTR mod, perhaps?).

Ahh, SW:JA. I still have that game kicking around somewhere. I just wish The force Unleashed would be released for the PC. I want to Kick ass with the force.

As of right now, only offered on PS3, Wii, 360 and the DS. Sadly no PC right now . The PC has always been what LucasArts released SW titles on. Its to bad they are not releasing it on PC first. I guess they realized that there is no money in making PC games due to the supposed rampant pirating.

It's all dagger's fault

Lol, good for them. Some other company will take their place.

As for Force Unleashed, I'll probably buy it without pirating first. Played it in a friend's console, and quite impressed. I still like KOTOR timeframe better. Hopefully they'll make KOTOR3 afterwards. They say they're improving gameplay in Unleashed PC version based on feedback from console players, so it's not just a typical console port with only improved graphics. Hope they don't mess it up. It's good as is.

Does anyone notice that the 9800gx2 has problems with vegas 2. I just installed the game today and when i was playing i got all these artifacts so i put my gx2 back down to stock clocks and its still like that i think its a driver issue

All those Tom Clancy games just can't play well in PCs...
They made it for the consoles

I love the KOTOR series. Part two was my absolute favorite. i got pages of quotes from that game, it really hits the philisophical sweet spot. Whoever wrote the stuff is a genius. Kreia would get aling nicely with Nietzsche.

good morning
