Anyone else had lag or frequent stops in the game? Looked like it was loading or something, but I can't think why this would happen op my pc. :p

Worked fine for me, I was actually impressed with the performance, the game even defaulted to everything to max for me.

I'm running a Core2 Duo E6850, 2gb ram, 8800GT (Stock speeds).

detritus, what driver version are you running ? I'm using the 180.84 beta revision 3 drivers that are recommended for GTA IV, but I'm going to try the newest ones and see if it takes that tiny pause away

178 something or other... might be 178.24


I'm hesitant to update my drivers, because some people have reported stuttering problems in Left 4 Dead as well, with newer ones.

I get "the tiny pause" on my Radeon 4870 with Catalyst 8.12. I don't know what it is, exactly, but they'll probably fix it by retail.

The first fear wasn't scary at all. Heres hoping this one is.

Oh, you must have an enormous penis.

Heh. Nah, if you aren't at least a little rattled by the FEAR 2 demo, then you have a psychological disorder of some sort.

I loved the spooks in the school. I know people don't say this about games much anymore, but the surround sound in FEAR 2 is absolutely epic.

Playing the full game now and i have the odd pauses (ssd and windows 7 so the odd hang but alt tab out and then back in no probs)

Graphics pretty good, game play becoming boring (4 or 5 hours in and only the odd shock, background music is great though)

Only bad thing so far was the R500 price tag :(

Played the demo yesterday and got those pauses too, 9600GT.

I think it could be the autosave feature.

I am running it on a ssd so i would expect less hassles with saves.

Have not met a single boss yet, this is way boring

Got the pause too on a Hd3870 and E8200. Wasn't scared at all, although I played at daylight.
