Ok I have DB PC with XP and Vista, AMD 5000+, 8800GTS OC all the goodies but cannot get the Vista version to do more than 15 FPS (why no WS options?!?! Im on a 22" WS monitor!!!). XP runs ok under the Performance test; 62 snow 46 cave but it locked up during demo when I entered the first underground level. The enemies sat there while I shot doing no dam, threw nades which exploded environmental stuff and then HARD LOCK. Reboot to XP and now when I hit the StartLostPlanetDX9.exe link it says some .msi files are missing and just closes. Reboot to Vista and the game is GONE completely... gonna re download it in a second and see what happens...

Must say that even the XP version looks better than the 360 version (bought it for my brother downstairs who played it 4 days then resigned it to the Madden 07 case... dont ask)

Go to Tweakguides.com to check out comparison shots.

DX10 blows DX9 away, visually, but wow does the hardware and framerates suffer for it.

You'd think there'd be better visuals and better performance across the board, but it's not.

It's teh suk.

Just utterly dire as a conversion. No ability to adjust mouse sens, no option to invert mouse and even if those things were present (if they are actually there and I'm somehow missing them, someone let me know), the mouse responsiveness is horrendous anyway. I also love the way it doesn't save your settings upon exit. I didn't think I'd play a worse port than RE4 for a while (that game was at least playable once you worked out what 1,3,5,6 etc from the on-screen prompts corresponded to on your keyboard), but this, amazingly, seems even lazier.

Game wise, total and utter crap, it's really not that great of a showcase for DX10 either - wow blinding snow blizzard effect.

This is a classic example of how you can't port sucky console games to the PC and expect it to wow anyone.

Just finished the DX10 demo a little while ago. I have a pretty good system, framerate during the benchmark was 33 fps for the snow level, 46 in the cave. I thought dx10 was supposed to have much better performance then dx9, heh. I have a core 2 duo e6600, 2 gigs and a 8800gts. It looks good but it doesn't blow me away or anything. Actually, its pretty fun, I wasn't liking the lack of quicksave or checkpoints, I died at the boss twice my first 2 tries, and had to start the level from the beginning twice, but i beat it my third time through the level.The second level I only played once and played through it, the second level is much shorter then the first. I will probably order it online after it comes out, its only $40 for the PC.
