Lol, the best part is that the dog is like "wtf?"

.... :mrgreen: ... exactly ... Paddywak is totally unimpressed ... :lol:

hey guys i'm wondering how everyones game is running with th2g. my games runs fine in some parts and laggy in others. sometimes its real bad where the game stops really quick and then catches up again. wondering if anyone is having similar issues or its just me. i have the nvidia 680i sli motherboard, 8800gts 640mb gfx card 2gb 800mhz matched ram, intel core 2 quad 2.4 ghz. and i have the latest driver from nvidia 163.75, i just got done with call of duty 4 and was having a very little issue but nothing to complain about, this game is really good in spots and not great in others. let me know if you guys are experiencing this as well, i do have the settings at max btw. i didn't want to sacrifice if i didn't have to but i guess i'll have to lower something unless one of you guys has a better idea. thanks in advance

I hear many others are having this same issue ... settings make no difference ... :(

Thx paddy for explanation and the nice "doggy" pictue. :P


Does the issue only come in Windows Vista?

hey paddy i prob asked before but what are your specs, i had that driver but changed to this for some reason, i'm gonna go back to that and see if it helps at all. btw, i really hope they patch this, people with regular res are having problems so its DEFINTITELY not me. what stinks the most is i was watching an interview with cliffy B and he said he was playing the game on a believe a 7 series card and preaching how great it ran. idk how you feel about that but thats EA stuff right there. either they get there act together with this or another one bites the dust. i refuse to support companies who get off on manipulating their customers into believing lies.

on epics site under general chat hardware compatibility issues here section, they recommend being on nvidia forceware 163.71 you think i should go down that far, you think call of duty will run bad with these drivers. please any help i'd appreciate

I tried them to clear up my issues ... they made no difference ... went back to 169.04.
Dunno about CoD4 ... I'm just installing it now ... :D

No ... I had the same issues in Vista and in XP.

Paddywak is a handsome chap isn't he ... :D

I'm having the same stuttering issue btw, which is making it close to unplayable. The FPS stays on 60 all the time but it still stutters all over the place...
I'm getting more and more angry with this "Games For Windows" shit.

I am on Windows Vista, everything at HIGH on DX10 of course, and the fps is at 30-50FPS ... And I don't see any stuttering or LAG. It is very amazing! I placed the fov at 75 and it is find for 16:10 .. People say place it at 90 or 100, but the viewing is very far.

The game crashes cause you need to download the video fix. After i downloaded it, it works fine!. And I realized that if you running it from STEAM or having other programs that produce on laying windows while playing such as XFIRE.

I realized that having those applications crashed my system, so I uninstalled XFIRE and didn't run Gears of War through Steam (just through desktop icon) and i am receiving no crashes.

The game is awesome! I can't wait till I buy UT3 and Crysis!

Does this FOV fix work in multiplayer?

Works for me ... but no Gold account so can't test ranked.
