And by FPS I mean frames per second.

Got the video settings cranked up to the max, 1280x1024 and in no uncertain terms, the game runs like a legless dog! Seriously, during the initial conflict with the covenants, I could practically count the number of frames per second!

Yes, I've got settings at max, but on my system, it shouldn't really struggle at all (confirmed by PC Gamer review). Grr, so frustrating - I want to play it! I've got all the latest drivers, nothings running in the background, I'm not forcing AA or anything like that...GRRR!!

Anyone?! :(

No - So keep it to yourself.

Uncle Albert - Your system in question might be able to run it perfectly but the graphics card makes a massive difference. Obviosuly turning on Anti Aliasing and Antistropic filtering will affect game performance drastically. Tone them down and keep the resolution at 1024 x 728 - Usually these nice extra's do make games a bit slow.

Well, in the beta version, when inside mine lagged quite a bit on 1024*768, not sure what that was about, but when I got outside it was fine.
Maybe you should try putting down the detail a bit to get outside and see how it runs there.
Also, what graphics card and drivers are you using?

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
