Hitman: Absolution

I get really bad pops and crackles in my audio, and if something loud happens like a crescendo in the music then my 5.1 channels play musical chairs and all swap around. The game just doesn't sound as good with the sub trying to play the center speaker channel

Not to mention if I quit the game too fast (Don't leave enough time between quitting to menu - quitting to desktop) or alt-tab out, then it floods my PC's memory and the whole thing becomes unusable for 5 mins, when it does recover my mouse cursor is sometimes invisible. Unfortunately I have to do this quite often to refresh my speakers...

Apart from those incredibly frustrating bugs, the two levels I played were at least enjoyable.

that is the laziest brick cutting i've ever seen. i give this game a 1/10

about the bricks it is true

Someone screenshot.

Wth is up with the weird grid overlay? It seems to render behind objects but still is in front of backdrops, annoying as fuck. First I thought it had something to do with gameplay, being in a safe environment or something?

maybe old card drivers ?

been playing this a little and it's quite enjoyable but the lack of quick-saving is a real problem, you can't experiment at all, and you end up doing the same boring stuff dozens of times trying to figure out the best way to approach something.

the costume/disguise stuff isn't a big deal and actually works pretty well in my opinion - the biggest issue is the instinct, it doesn't seem to work sometimes (when trying to blend in), and you end up in the 2spooky mode and suddenly everybody is hostile and the SWAT are on their way. but maybe i just need to practice a little bit more...

glacier 2 is an interesting engine, i have everything maxed out and it doesn't look OMG JAW DROPPING, but everything is quite high-res, and there's some nice attention to detail, but there's a few things like the lens flares that simply look ridiculous when you can't see 47's head because of the giant flares bouncing off his bald dome.

overall though it's enjoyable, nice to look at, feels very free and open without being completely ridiculous and confusing, the crowds are great, the visuals are actually AAA, the engine runs smoothly and there's no annoying bugs or awkward UI annoyances. It's very polished, very good. So far I've played a couple of hours and can't give it a "score" but it's definitely leaning towards a 90+

Good work IO!

Might be it yes. I'll update them when I get home, didn't get around to doing that yesterday. Will update

New drivers didn't fix it Still have the grid. wadafuq Googling didn't help either

EDIT: FOUND IT! Depth of field set to medium triggers this, on low or high it doesn't... Weird shit. Glad it's fixed though. Is there much performance impact when set to high over low then?

So Square Enix just announced the next Hitman game will be made in Montreal.....you guys moving on to a new thing in Copenhagen?

Hitwoman?
