Well, from a quick few tests, this version is not good for my setup. My Compo level still crashes after a short while with the now very familiar back screen. I get massive slowdown with anything more than 2 AI attacking me when scenes are fairly busy. It can drop from 20 odd to 9 in the space of a second.
The old stutter issue seems to be back. Even on a fresh map with 1 building and getting 80+ fps, walking around it you distinctly notice it judders. The sound when both walking and running seems a little too fast as well.
The new contrast and brightness shader's are awkward to use for me. I set it so it looks okay, then when I turn around, nope it looks wrong, set that and again turn around the same issue. I will re-watch the video on it and see if I am missing something obvious.
All in all, not my favourite release so far. Despite the new models, which although re-skinned still seem very samey. I think some sort of variation of the anims may help a little, and their scale also. Everyone in this world appear to be the same height. I like the rocket man as at least he is different, having a very different style due to his weapon.
RPG and Rocket man aside, these bugs that are creeping in need squashing.
