Did you install the game from the disk? I read online that some people tried installing it from the disk but it made them download the whole thing anyway.

That's awesome.

Yes from disk badasp...and it worked fine.

I launched STEAM before putting the disk in. Once the install began YOU NEED TO PAUSE ALL DOWN LOADS WHILE INSTALLATION IS ACTIVE!!! Only then will your PC install strictly from the disk without issue.

I did thing same thing with PORTAL 2 and worked fine.

I was only vaguely aware that they still sold disks for PC games, and even then I have no idea where the hell you would go to get them.

Played around with a program called Widescreen Fixer. Its not a great solution, but I think I will try it for a while for the FOV issue the game has:

Any updates to how the app was working for you Knave? I like how in the 2nd pic you can see a lot more, but does it have a fish eye effect?

Nah, the compressed look is uniform, so it doesnt cause any weird effect. It does take getting used to, and it does mean that your target will appear smaller. Also unless you adjust it, you will get the impression of a reduced mouse sensitivity. Im not sure how much it helps with the run and gun nature of most the maps, but if you like to sit back and camp its fine.

It makes the guns look odd. Circle sights turn into ovals.

That is so gay... since when can you throw a knife so high you can hit a plane? I work by the airport and they fly right over head... even standing on the roof of our 3 story building, there would be no way I could hit a plane with any throwing object let alone a knife.

I agree with McShagger, all video games should be absolutely 100% realistic and true-to-life all the time.

In COD if you shoot an enemy in the torso a few times you should have to wait a certain amount of time before he dies, somewhere between 2 minutes, 3 hours, and not at all, depending on where exactly you shot him.
In Halo, Master Chief should be unable to walk because of how heavy his armor is, also there should be no aliens
Metroid shouldn't exist
When Mario jumps into bricks above him, they shouldn't break, he should die because hitting your head that hard would kill you
There shouldn't be any dragons or magic in Skyrim
Tetris shouldn't exist

:lol:

Put this on Jims thread but wanted it here as well, makes the game much more playable for me.

One thing I didn't realize was that Extra textures are actually just upscaled 720p. Use Native to make the game not look like hammered shit.
