Played through the demo again, excellent firefights, some nice scares in there too.

There is one fantastic setpiece, which I sort of saw coming, but I just thought "oh shit" when it happend.

The AI is easily the best i've seen in a game, they talk to each other, interact with the environment and generally give you a good workout every time you fight them. I remember one time I threw a grenade into the middle of a group and they all scattered in different directions. One jumped over the side of the railing, another ran behind some crates for cover and the other two dived out of the way. Looked so cool, all in slow motion!

Has eveyone found the particle cannon and nail gun? Cool weapons!


You're damn right on everything their. Haven't had such intens gun fights sins Call of Duty and these gunfights here are much better then in CoD.

AI is much much better then in most games, hell I was even being flanked even in BiA the AI did not trie to flank me.

Gun damage is perfect, if you aim good a enemy drops just like that if you aim bad it takes alot of shots.

Runs perfect here on a AMD XP2600, Geforce 6800 (77.77), 1 GB.

Only thing I did not so much is that some area's where to dark, or the flashlight lights up to weak.

I've tried in SLI mode with 2 geforce 7800 gtx with this config :

Athlin 64 3800+ Venice
2Gb 400 DDR1
2xgeforce 7800gtx (gigabyte)

in the AFR2 SLI mode (alternate frame rendering 2) with the
self-made sli profile and it rocks between 60-100fps with all
gfx options set except soft shadows and fsaa set to 2x instead of
4x


Sounds good to me Smile! I just tested the game on a 9800 128mb rather than the X800 and I really didnt see that great a difference, I actually felt like the 9800 worked better, this has left me rather confused. I wonder if that X800 is b0rked or something haha..

EDIT:: X800 isnt b0rked, I just tested Battlefield 2 with full everything on both cards and the X800 works fine, the 9800 does not. Maybe the game isnt fully optimised for the X800 as yet? Or maybe its a driver issue, no matter, it still runs very well on both, there is just no noticable difference between the two cards on F.E.A.R!

Do you play with soft shadows on ? Shadows max? How are your fps at the beginning when you sit in the car ? I get something like 22 fps. I have a 7800GTX too and a 3000+ Winnie @ 2,43ghz. I hope it´s just a driver problem because I hate to see the game running choppy with the best gfx card available.


I haven't tried the soft shadows : i let the autodetect option setting the
gfx informations and i just changed the res to 1280x960

I experienced some slowdown at the beginning but i found it was related to the Vsync option which was on. Try to disable it , maybe it can help...

BTW I'll give a try with soft shadows on . Did u try to see the performance
with AA set to 2x or 4x on your geforce 7800gtx ?


O.k., I have soft shadows disabled and shadows on medium, 1024x768 (4xAA, 4xAF), everything else is on maximum. At the beginning in the movie where the soldiers are standing in a row with the machinguns I get like 20 fps. Then in the car about 28. outside before going down the ladder around 30. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Then I get around 50 downstairs but in gunfights about 25 again. In other words, it runs like crap here. A 7800GTX should do better!

It's really only the shadows which arn't very well optimised. It's a shame because the soft shadows look awesome. Ah well, the game looks great anyway.

Which forceware drivers are U using (mine are the last official ones 77.72)

Otherwise, it's maybe due to the CPU (Athlon 3000+) : i hear somewhere that in order to run at best ,a 3500+ was fine with the geforce 7800gtx but it's just a thought ....

Runs like a wonder, soft shadows OFF, because thats just too much of a preformance hit, not worth it to have rounded shadows, and volumetric lights OFF, runs super good everything else at absolute max =D

Not that impressed, atmosphere / level design is rather uninteresting, about as scary as doom3 (not at all imho). Great action and AI though.

So you have shadows on maximum (soft shadows off I think) and during heavy gunfight you get no lover fps than 30 ?


What I found out now that the shadows really let the performance drop for sometimes 100%. I put the shadows on minimum (so mostly no shadows) and then the game runs fine. Always above 30 fps. Sometimes around 100 and more. What I hate most that the fps are so inconstant like in no other game. I get often slowdows from 150 to 30 fps. I hope they´ll do something with the shadows till final release. With 7800gtx there´s mostly no performance difference between AA off and AA on. But the impact with shadows on medium and maximum is too high.
