I would like to remind folks that when they come out with their next patch, it will not contain anything deliberately targeted at solving these problems. We will have to wait until the next patch after that for any fixes. If you think this is taking long now, just wait until they have to start from patching scratch after this one is released. Due to BioWare's inability or unwillingness to see any of these issues as needing immediate attention, it will be months before they patch this, and that is if they patch this at all. If you keep coming back every hour/few hours/few days/week/few weeks hoping to see something, you're wasting your time. I know I am...
It's really quite odd the specific problem regarding the game is solely related to movies causing bugs (a trend which has continued from other high profile releases using RadTools movies for their intros) . Having said that, since the issue is also affecting dual and quad core PCs and is a gamestopping bug, it will probably get fixed sooner than later. Bioware should at get credit for making the game engine way more playable/streamlined on lower end PCs than Mass Effect 1 ever was, studdering playback issues aside.
Actually, that why I put in the line about 'immediate attention'. Throughout the last thread and this one, they have shown an understanding that it is a gamestopping bug, yet they also have said that a possible fix will be rolled into a future patch. I would think that if they really took a gamestopping bug seriously, a fix would be released in a hotfix or emergency patch as people suggested in the early pages of the last thread. If that were the case, it would probably have been released by now, or at the very least they'd tell us thats what they're doing. Instead I can't help but feel that they believe tiny graphical issues affecting people who've already played, beaten, and gotten bored with the game rank higher than me being unable to play the game at all.
All the while they blame me saying I didn't read the requirements. The truth is I did read the requirements for the CPU, but I only saw the part that has ever been relevant to any other game I've ever played on computers, and saw the needed 1.8GHz which my 2.6 should've handled easily. Before all this I thought "core" was just a cool word they use in names for these things. After reading these threads I now know it is an actual thing, and it's a thing that can frik up good programs on good computers. But that doesn't exactly help me now that I've spent $50 on a paperweight that doesn't weigh down paper very well...
Paperweight indeed... I'm actually tempted to
return my preordered copy and get my 50 bucks back because of this... right now it's just sitting on my desk and harddrive collecting actual and virtual dust... really, this problem sounds like it should be a straightforward find-fix-patch deal... but nooooooo... Bioware's just gonna take their sweet, fat, time on this
... being an infiltrator (and by extension, a sniper) I can be very patient, but being a screaming perfectionist at the same time I frequently have the violent thought of finding a Bioware staff-member and beating him repeatedly over the head with the case screaming "
HOW COULD YOU **** THIS UP?! HOW?!" . However, I will wait them out on this, It's a fantastic game and I'm sure that it will be worth the extra (
unessecary) wait...
