September 14, 201015 yr After buying KOTOR 2 and NWN 2 I realized it's probably a good idea to wait for them to work out the kinks. Just how buggy is this game right now? Will it run well on my system? Specs: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (2.4 Ghz) 4 GB RAM GeForce 8800 GT Running WinXP
September 14, 201015 yr You shouldn't have any issues running it on that system (if you can run Mass Effect 2, or other Unreal 3 games, you should be able to run AP).
September 14, 201015 yr Author It's good to know I can run it. I think I'll wait some more before buying. After reading some posts here I think I'll wait for the patch.
September 14, 201015 yr It's far less buggy than KOTOR2 and NWN2. Edited September 14, 201015 yr by Scorch
September 14, 201015 yr Author Less buggy than they are right now? (They fixed the game breaking issues in NWN2, KOTOR 2 has a community patch) Still, I don't think I'm willing to pay full price for it before a patch.
September 14, 201015 yr I played it through twice and it didn This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
September 14, 201015 yr That doesn't mean there aren't any bugs. Did you miss the no enemies on level reload or the horrendous 3 second texture pop-in lag?
September 14, 201015 yr Did you miss the no enemies on level reload or the horrendous 3 second texture pop-in lag? Yes. Texture pop-in was no worse than it was in Mass Effect. Only bug I had was the mouse one. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
September 14, 201015 yr ...the horrendous 3 second texture pop-in lag? That's a U3 bug and not an AP bug. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
September 14, 201015 yr It was way worse in AP than any other UE3 game that I've played. Especially on the PC. Edited September 14, 201015 yr by Purkake
September 15, 201015 yr Texture pop was non-existant on my PC except for the inventory. Only major bug I came across in 3 playthroughs was the reload one, but that's easily solvable by not clicking 'load last save'.
September 15, 201015 yr Buy it now so you add to Alpha Protocol's sales, then play it later when there's a patch out. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
September 15, 201015 yr Author Seeing as they just released a patch which ****s it even more, I think obsidian should learn a lesson. I really like the people behind this company (the Ex-Black Isle guys to be precise), but I won't be a fanboy and get another buggy game. Hope they do better with FNV.
September 15, 201015 yr I've played it on the PC and I've not encountered any bugs. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
September 15, 201015 yr Damaging bugs I've encountered on my playthrough were UE3 bugs (which weren't really worse than other UE3 games) and the enemy respawning. In comparison to KOTOR and NWN where I encountered gamebreaking bugs multiple times... AP is tons better on the buggy side. Edited September 15, 201015 yr by C2B
September 16, 201015 yr Buy it, and tell other people to buy it. Fresh concepts from good developers need to be rewarded, not destroyed by critics that are biased towards the high budget-mediocre game.
