    Anyone have a chance to check out this patch yet and verify if the optimizations are helping?

    I tried out the demo on my new PC and have held off buying the game because my computer really struggled with the demo except at pathetically low resolutions and graphics options turned way down.

    I was surprised as I got a half-decent rig (Intel quad-core Q6600, 3 gig RAM, 512 Meg nVidia 8500 GT with the latest drivers updated) - not exactly bleeding edge (especially the graphics card) but it ran all of the other new games I’ve tried far better.

    If the patch really optimizes the game to run better on modest rigs like my own I’ll go ahead and pick this up.

    I’ll be downloading the patch tonight and I’ll let you know. I’ve previously had to play with the minimum settings on my machine

    I have a MUCH higher framerate now after the patch. I was around 18fps before, now it’s about 30fps. I’m still playing with everything on low, but it’s much much better experience

    Wow - that’s a huge difference. I’ll keep my eye out for when it goes on sale again to around $39 (doesn’t take that long on PC games anymore) and pick it up.

    Thanks!
