I'm just about ready to dump this game and stop it annoying the f*$k out of me.
I've been looking forward to the superpatch for weeks, like everyone else. I've also been struggling to get PES5 running smoothly on my fairly good pc, much like (almost) everyone else. The excellent LOD mixer, plus a bit of messing around, finally got it working good - only 1024x768 but high detail and no stutter, 60fps all the way.
Then the superpatch gets released - hooray!! Brilliant - finally we've got the game that it should have been on release.
Except it's not. Now, even 800x600 gives me an unplayable ~30fps with some ridiculous stutter.
Konami are f*%&ing sh*t. They can't be bothered programming a game for PC owners that actually works reliably. If there's ever a game that NEEDS an official patch to fix performance issues then it's this one. As it stands it's a steaming pile of turd made totally and completely unenjoyable by bollox programming. We shouldn't have to spend HOURS tweaking to get a game that was designed to work on a sh*tty ps2 run playable on a pc. It's so lazy from Konami it's not true!!
Much respect to the patchmakers - the work you guys have done looks amazing, but the fact that Konami don't give a f*ck about actually doing some programming and just port their games across as many platforms as they can think of has meant I've lost patience.
Unless they fix the huge performance holes in this game then I am downloading the FIFA06 demo and trying that again. This is not an empty threat!!!
