Let us say you are not trolling and this is a serious question. Let's say you did not read the uncounted posts in the forums. The talk is about a lag HUNDREDS of players with modern x64 rigs experience every day. They spent a hell of money on hardware for the game and that monkey company chose to release a console and x32 optimized game. We have almost the year 2012. But because consoles are in their main focus, we have to live with a badly optimized engine. Well not all consoles are in their focus, the PS3 guys have been kicked in the nuts very thoroghly. And even the console players of their new financial overlords (Microsoft) are experiencing trouble. This is possible only in the gaming industry where you are allowed to released unfinished products. Try to imagine that with other products. And, to your sure amazement, I have chosen to run the game (IF I do play, now I stopped) on my old Core2Duo / Windows XP System. It runs smoother (no kidding) than on my shiny new Hexacore / Win 7 system with 8 Gig of Ram. Ah I forgot that Bethesda forgot the LAA implementation, ah such a pity. Let's wait another 4 weeks for an official answer. But no, they are choosing to rely on modders. Help yourself is Bethesda policy, these cowards. "How could such a thing be possible?" (to quote a Skyrim guard)... You saying it runs better on your 2 core than on your AMD Phenom II X6 ? Just wondering as my rig is a X6 @ 3.8g - 16g ram - Dual ATI 5770s - SSD OS - Win7 x64 and I cant compare because my other rig is a amd quad core - 8g ram - single 5770 - sata - win7 x64 (i use as a server for arma2) Whats the reason the game would run better on an old duo core than a newer quad , hexacore or bulldozer 8 core system ? How hard is it to make the game work with x64 architecture from where it is at now or with multiple cores all being used ? Also would it be difficult to make the game use more system ram if its available ? Sorry for all the questions Im just wondering if they have made a game which Some Pc gamers cant really use because their systems are too powerful ?
