...The patch helps matters, although not lots. The Plot Stoppers seem to have vanished into the ether, but occasionally the charectors do to. I stopped playing last night when I entered the inside of a ship by falling though a wall.

After Ultima Online and associated lawsuits you would assume that Origin would learn, or more precisly that Electronic Arts would. although you would be wrong. The framerate is unforgivable. It is even worse than playing Quake 3 Arena on a 233 with a Banshee, Worse than Unreal on a 2D card, and the graphics arn't as good. The fogging is useless, the charectors are still sweeping streets at midnight, and it is impossible to skip the tutorial when you start a new game. Avoid until it comes out on budget, when we might have PCs that can play it right, although I doubt a cray could cope with this.
