Earlier I posted: "@Volition: You must be ashamed to bring us such untested game, and when complaints come running away. I get the feeling that this is a done case four you, and you give the hardware manufactures the task to solve your incompetence. If you had well tested the game BEFORE release, then you could forseen this. At the end, the hardware was there, it was you that had the responsibility to make your code working with these already EXISTING hardware!!!" You guys don't give a **** for these problems, the money is in your pocket and your all laughing to al us (the fools who buy your crappy game). LAST TIME I BUY SOMETHING OF YOUR CRAP!!! LOSERS...............LOSERS.............LOSERS..................LOSERS............LOSERS.......................LOSERS......................LOSERS...........LOSERS!!!

Agreed. It's been over 3 months now for a problem that they've admitted is there and that they've been, according to them, attempting to solve since Nov. 16 (ie. one day after release). I've stopped recommending the game: in fact, I've started warning any friends of mine with either AMD or Nvidia hardware to stay away from the game due to real or suspected performance issues that the developers are aware of but haven't bothered to fix. This game was so graphically disappointing on playable settings (medium) on my Radeon 5850 (a highend video card) that I upgraded to the fastest single GPU available (Radeon 7970) and still find it borderline playable at times on ultra (dips regularly into sub-30 fps). Clearly, fixing performance issues that cripple the game for roughly 40% of their users (AMD hardware by Steam survey) is not a priority for Volition. I will definitely be taking a 'wait-and-see' and possibly a 'wait-for-Steam-sale' approach to any of their future software. This situation is made worse since this is on the heels of Saints Row 2, the shoddiest PC port that I have ever purchased. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.... I think I'm also done giving troubleshooting help on this board. If Volition won't help me, I'm definitely not helping them anymore.

3 months and nothing of note to report yet? It's a serious critical game breaking issue you are leaving to linger on Volition. I find it shameful that this thread was hijacked to promote "patches" that were in no way related to the issue. I don't get what the objective was in doing that? Is it to promote false hope and silence your customers? I think the only thing it's doing is showing you haven't got a handle on the situation. I'm tired as a PC Gamer paying for software that's shovelled onto PC for that quick extra buck with zero care. I normally don't make a peep on forums about this stuff but this game has been my absolute breaking point. I'm tired of companys like Volition who feel they can keep getting away with shoddy work. Anyone that reads this and hasn't taken the plunge DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

Forget about patch. Volition forgot about us. I am upset...

*sigh* Well this is extremely disappointing. I was hoping this would have been fixed a long time ago, considering they said they were working on it a while back. The most frustrating thing about all this is the lack of solid information regarding an update. Pull your finger out, Volition.

See, it's not even about solid information. We were given solid info, the last being Dec. 16 that they were going to do some tests and they'd hopefully have some news soon. The problem is that the info was probably FALSE just to give us hope that a fix was in the works (not pointing a finger at V-Singular since he just gets and posts the info that he receives). At this point, I'm giving up and just telling people not to buy the game due to performance issues.

So, how IS this fix going? Last update was Feb. 8, pretty much a month ago. I kind of wanna play SR3 all over again but not with the current performance issues, especially with my Radeon 7970.

If you look at the driver releases for AMD, you don't see any fixes related to SR3. This means that AMD is waiting for Volition to fix their game before they release any driver fixes. Otherwise, why hasn't AMD released any specific SR3 changes? I believe its because it's more of a Volition programming problem than an AMD driver problem. I too would like to jump back in and play SR3 but with only 20fps, it's just not fun and ends up only being frustrating.

I registered just to say that on my system (i5 2500, Crossfire HD6850's, 8 Gb of Ram, latest drivers, yadda yadda) the performance is truly terrible. Even on a mix between medium and high settings I get 20-40 fps while driving, and lots of stutter. A disappointment, and if this doesn't get fixed, I won't recommend any of my friends to buy it, not even when it's on sale. Had high hopes for this game, and what I could play while the game was chugging along looked fun. Now only if it ran good... I bought Saints Row 2 in a Steam Sale, downloaded, installed it, played for 10 minutes, searched for solutions for horrible performance, uninstalled it again. Saints Row 3 is on its way to do just the same.
