This is the second Unreal mod I've come across this week. Prometheus <br> is supposedly a single player co-op game along the lines of Portal and <br> Mirror's Edge. It has an interesting time twisting premise involving <br> your own character from the past, present and future. <br> Get the demo here (320MB) <br> <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.beyondunreal.com/view_story.php?id=13013">[link]</a>

There is no Community type patch for FORGOTTEN GODS ..the most recent <br> official <br> FG patch 1.08 (last of 4 includes all previous) results in a GREAT <br> improvement <br> in all respects compared to the release condition...which was unbelievably <br> bad... <br> Its still not very good ...not quite as good graphics as G3 ...

Thanks, I have it downloading at a disappointing 1MB/s so it will get <br> to play it sometime tomorrow.

More or less instant on my setup, which isn't particularly fast at <br> loading as a rule. Was running with 3GB ram, although also installed <br> Windows 7 64bit today and it runs even faster.

It's not the video card; it's adjusting the values in the .ini files and <br> similar <br> tweaks to make it run smooth (mainly increasing cache sizes, reducing draw <br> distances, etc.). You can still find the references in the community forums <br> on how to do it. You have to do the same to G3:FG to make it run reasonably

I didn't post to argue with you. This is a pretty old game. I played it <br> before the community patches where made, and I ran it at 1280x1024 2xAA, <br> shaders on, everything set to high, and it ran just fine. I'm no fan of <br> this game as I only played it for about 20 hours before I moved on, but <br> as far as framerate goes it was smooth. BTW I also had a C2D 2.6GHz at

US 9.99 this weekend. I haven't noticed any long delays, stuttering, or <br> texture problems. Maxrez is 1280x900. <br> I fully agree that it is a great buy at that price.
