Not that I'm easily influenced or anything, cough cough, I went back on it today. Before doing so I had to check how to fix a particularly serious bug. I also found another bug I hadn't encountered before.
New bug first, in the first mission killing fash in Italy, you have to wait by a closed double door for a fellow soldier to kick it open. But he didn't come. Re-started the mission (i'll never tire of shooting those fucks so all good) but same thing again, waiting by the door, another soldier next to me does nothing. Weird. So I look down the hallway and there's one soldier running on the spot. I move to his position, walk behind him and give him a nudge. He then proceeds to walk down the hallway and kick the door open for me. lol.
The big bug, however, is a fucker. The first time back in America you steal a car and get chased by the cops, the game goes into slow motion, and stays there. The music plays normally but everything else is slowed down to a crawl. It only happens when played on a 1440p monitor apparently. This was game breaking for me. However, I found that by setting the affinity up so that only one CPU is ticked, then playing the game for a few seconds until it stops being slow but has an FPS of 25, then going back to task manager and resetting the affinity so all CPUs are again ticked, fixes the issue. Pain in the arse.
However, I'm glad I did. It's a lovely game and I'll be playing it a lot I think. When it came out back in the day I only ever tried the demo on Xbox360 but never picked it up, funny.
