Guilded, please think about what you are saying, there is a difference between the animation a graphics card produces on a 60hz monitor and a video recorded at 25, 29 or 30fps. We have a legitimate argument, so please go troll elsewhere if you have no issues with it.
Oh yea and by the way, some Nvidia users had the same stuttering issues with the original game yet they never capped that below 60. I am confident that the same issue exists with the new engine, so it is totally unreasonable for Larian to cap it at 30 and end up affecting so many users who had NO issues at all with the original game.
As for the "I want my money back" thing - I am usually the last person to get angered to the point of wanting this, but I feel like I have been conned. As I ran the original game at 60fps then there would be no reason for me to even consider it would be capped at 30 when I chose to purchase it. Just like boxed versions, or game listings on steam and elsewhere put in miminum requirements or notices of DRM, they should also show that the game is capped at 30FPS.
I know in my own mind that if I had been shown the 30FPS cap was there I would not have bought the game, and that is what has led to my anger of wanting my money back. Yes it is negative, but if the developers want to give reasons for negativity without warning, then that is what they get.
Finally, "not giving the game time on principal" is totally incorrect. When I boot up the game and find it running in 30fps the first thing I did was take time to go through all the files in the game's folder in an attempt to see if I can find some way of disabling the 30fps cap. There was no way, and that is when I came to the forum to complain about it.
There is no need to give it time, it is not based on a principal, it is based on experience of buying other games in the past that also came with a 30fps hard cap - which ended up in the same way, which is not ever being played.
The only way a game on a PC can be cured of this problem is for the developers to add some kind of motion blur to the graphics engine. Many other games which gamers find difficult to run at high resolutions (f1 2010 being a good, recent example) adopt a motion blur method (which explains why video looks smoother at 25 or 29fps). This helps to make the animation appear more fluid.
To summarize - Larian obviously won't remove this cap, but I plead to Lar_q or whoever has authority, to find some way of allowing those of us who don't want the forced cap and would like at least the opportunity to try and run it at 60 (like the majority did with the original without problems). If we try and it doesn't work then at least we had the opportunity. Leaving this as it is now makes me feel like i've been scammed.
