Yep but the patch is not yet out or some reason. Few guys claim to have it got it & posted the change log but since then no-one has been getting it & no word on Ubisoft either
Up to chapter 5 now no slowdowns for me whatsoever with the GTX480 + x16QA regardless of the amount of onscreen chaos

I wonder why the lack of interest for this game?
Maybe the DRM is having a negative effect on sales?
I would purchase it if they removed the DRM.

Just completed SP. Took me about 8 hours. Only way it could be done much quicker would be cheating your way through
Not tried the Co-Op or Deniable Ops mode yet but can guess they offer a fair amount of gameplay time as well.
Gfx are very nice & highly detailed in several places it looks utterly stunning & is one of the best looking PC games for a long time. The shaders, glass reflections, use of coloured lighting & detailed texture work all combine to make it look special & I would say its the best looking SC game ever made
Looks great & runs very well on a GTX260-216 + Q9450 with max gfx + x4AA. No slowdowns or stuttering.
Sometimes when the game switches between the ingame engine & the pre-rendered cutscene you get a tiny little microstutter jump but its hard to notice unless your looking for it! No in level loading that I could notice either & all loading is very fast anyway.
Music is epic & very movie like, sound FX are strong & loud
Ubisofts DRM is totally seamless & it also hosts the savegames so I swapped between my 2 PC's & it remembered exactly where I was. Did not have any issues whatsoever with the DRM & would say its something Ubisoft should stick with as they have implemented it very well here. Boycotting because of that alone is so juvenille & ludicrous when most PC gamers have a constant Internet connection anyway they probably realise they actually may have to buy a game now to support PC gaming you know like they are supposed to since day 1
Only downsides I could find were:
1: Pre-rendered Bink FMV in places had a lot of compression artifcats they should have been rendered again for PC @ a higher resolution as they are obviously the same FMV as the console versions.
2: Wireless X360 gamepad needs a mod to work as the buttons are messed up due to Ubisoft using an older driver for the wirelesss gaming receiver. Easily fixed with a copy & past though
3: SP is pretty small as the levels are not that big so obviously the 2 times that we know about where Ubisoft scrapped the entire game & started again really hurt the level size as I am guessing the entire game as released took just over a year which shows in the level size & lack of things to do in them although most scenary is destructable & blows up real well its lacking all the ingame things you could do in all the other SC games & has really been dumbed down gameplay wise into more of a cinematic cross between: MGS & COD MW2 to please the console kiddies

Well you've started with a classic ... prepare to be consistantly disappointed
ROFL just what i was thinking
Soldato
same as bullitt, cant connect to any kind of MP
the single player works fine, although reminds me of rainbow 6 vegas mostly, but looks good and is fun to play

I can't see them investing in a very expensive DRM system (which they will now need to keep running regardless of pulling out or not) only to drop PC support after four titles. They'd lose more money from that than from the piracy they were trying to stop.

umm... might be obvious question. but I just got this game and it doesn't seem to detect / work with my 360 controller ?
PoP is out in a few weeks...
Would be very interesting to now what the Orbit DRM has done for sales.
I'm assuming that from a piracy perspective its been fairly sucessful. Its still not really cracked as the pirate has to complete the game to get all the values and so far every release has been buggy. All Ubi have to do is increase the complexity of the triggers which will make it v time consuming for the pirate.
I do like the whole Uplay thing with the extra unlocks and cloud based saves.
They should def have released this as 24: The Game though as it would have been perfect.
Support is missing - Ubi are supposed to be patching it.
