I think (from my expirience) 25 FPS but that realy is the minimum because with eye you can see a bit lag from 22 FPS and down.

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT ALAN WAKE THO, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SCROLL A BIT DOWN TO VERIFY
PC Specs
Could i run this? FPS,Settings and Resolution (Ignore the one i have listed) ;)
PC Specs
max settings at thet res 40fps
PC Specs
Is this game well optimized? if it is i can probably run on ultra right?
PC Specs
it is not well optimized since you cant disable aa but you dont nead to wory becouse you can run it on max. I can max it with 17FPS.
PC Specs
Love the game, love it. But is it just me or are the plants and grass a MASSIVE joke in this game? Like some copied and pasted them?
PC Specs
i respect ur opinion but what are u talking about? i thought they were really good especially how they moved/reacted to ur movement when u moved near them
PC Specs
Look at this screenshot i took 20min ago. This is on max settings! Look at the square grass with triangle tips!!!! It looks horrible man http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/53/68/7b/53687b7b716b8e9a3718fc867f7e9240.jpg
PC Specs
ok thats really weird and ive never seen that when i played the game, i think these are called "artifacts" and u see them in most games when u overclock ur GPU too much, or maybe cuz the grass/plants always had these black backgrounds behind them but u only notice it in the light and not the dark cuz it blends in
PC Specs
also check this website out, they talk about the problem: http://community.remedygames.com/showthread.php?t=8535
PC Specs
and this too: http://steamcommunity.com/app/108710/discussions/0/828939978483402754/
PC Specs
LOL Over clocked to high.
PC Specs
thats the only thing that causes seeing artifacts in games, but it seems like a lot of other people are having this problem so the problem is in the game, but on my system which is similar to urs, i never saw these and the game looked beautiful, also they might've patched it, so update the game if u haven't already
PC Specs
Re-installed game. No strange plants now ;)
PC Specs
yea 1 guy suggested that in the first link i posted, but its good that it works now :D
PC Specs
Actually happened again and again! Turns out you cant have ANY settings forced on in video card options! Must all be application controlled ;) 100's of posts om steam forms, mostly nvidia cards :)
PC Specs
well i had adaptive vsync on and i didnt notice any weird plants
PC Specs
Umm.... I am playing this on medium with no lag and I'm not even meant to be able to run it
PC Specs
Happy to hear that tho :) Enjoy the game! ;)
PC Specs
This is how i run it on my pc:settings in video

PC Specs

PC Specs
u definitely can and maybe medium-high settings will do, thats a rough estimate though
PC Specs
Lol
PC Specs
max at that res.
PC Specs
when i tried to run this with intel gfx, it said it require msaa.
now with my amd card do need turn on msaa all the time?
i dont need aa but high texture n shadows.
PC Specs
you cant disable aa if thats what you are asking
PC Specs
yea the lowest AA u can have in this game is 2X (u cant turn it off)
PC Specs
Hey guys are you experiencing a LOT of blur in this game. I do and its too much my head is going to explode i played game for some time about 2h or something like that and i was like when i play game whole day.
PC Specs
i think u can change the amount of blur in the graphic options, im not sure though
PC Specs
How is the game? Never played it!
PC Specs
it's great. Not really scary but it's not like you would demand that, would you? =P
Get it if you can :) I find both gameplay and story pretty interesting.
worth to try srsly.
PC Specs
Awesome response! I will buy on steam its CHEAP!
PC Specs
lol u just missed the sale steam had: Alan wake for $3 or alan wake + american nightmare for $4
now u have to buy it for $30, the game is definitely worth $30 cuz its very good but still...
PC Specs
Just noticed that when i got home :( Bummer
PC Specs
lol dam sorry dude, if u havnt bought it already u can wait for another steam sale, check steam every other day like me to see if theres any good deals
PC Specs
Thx for heads up
PC Specs
I DONT REALLY LIKE STEAM... I JUST DONT LIKE DOWNLOADING GAMES. AM OLD SCHOOL, I WANT PHYSICAL COPY
PC Specs
Me too, I just like the feeling of popping the disk out of the box and into my DVD tray. Also the smell of the box and manual is also nice :D
Plus when I bought the DVD for this game, they also included Alan's journal and stickers! Well worth it.
PC Specs
I BOUGHT A COPY AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE RUNNING THE GAME FROM THE DVD ALLLLL THE TIME. HOW DO I AVOID THAT
PC Specs
Have you got the Steam version or...
PC Specs
dude he said he had bought a dvd.....are you ****ing stupid or something!?
PC Specs
Easy man! Please don't swear and try to contain your self.
PC Specs
Can you create ISO file from DVD. Try using poweriso. But i dont think this will work. Install poweriso then insert DVD into your PC then right click your DVD drive and there you will see poweriso label move your mouse there and click add to image file then choose iso and choose where to save and click ok. Next moune that iso you created and see if its working.
PC Specs
just google it. Solution is alwasy somewhere on google
PC Specs
Ps we are here to help NOT direct people to Google! @adolphite message me and ill walk you through the entire process!
PC Specs
can i run this?
PC Specs
Yes, my guess is MED-HIGH with your resolution :)
PC Specs
max it out :D
PC Specs
max on this res
PC Specs
How does it fair on my laptop? Any experience?
PC Specs
You should be able to play on MEDIUM settings.
If the game is not smooth, check this website for settings you can turn down for better FPS: community.remedygames.com/showthread.php?t=7725
PC Specs
medium
PC Specs
I get 40-50fps on medium at 1080p. Is this normal? I was wxpecting better.
PC Specs
what are you getting on high settings?
doesn't seem normal to me
PC Specs
Sorry for late reply! I get 30-40 on high.
PC Specs
that seems normal. Are you experiencing any problems at all when you run the game on high settings?
