Hey there, wanted to try this game for a while and since its just released I bought it, however I've had nothing but trouble and basically been unable to play the game, the issues are as follows:
Horrendous start up load, and loading a save game times - have to usually wait around 15 minutes before the game even gets to the main menu and around 20 or more minutes before I can load a save game.
Playing the game itself, every click or two, using combat abilities, character interaction - basically anything other than standing still causes stutter / lag / freezes which can last anywhere from a second to a minute before the game runs smoothly again - but the issues then instantly repeat, even with something like opening the inventory.
So whilst I "could" play the game, the load time to get started is nearly an hour, and the constant stutter completely breaks any pace and flow, turning the game into a slog. I had enjoyed what I have played and would love to play the game properly, but am simply unable, I havent been able to find much help accross numerous forums - this issues remain basically the same regardless of graphical quality (from very low to ultra).
My specs are:
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
If anymore information is needed, let me know - can anyone help me here or do I just have to try the game each patch? :S - I have plenty of games of varying requirements that I can run on ultra ranging from WoW to Witcher 2, can't see my specs being much of a problem.
P.S I have already emailed the supportdos@larian.com and sent info from their analysis tool
