Brink

Prilično dobar osvrt na igru....

Nisam promjetio da je ovo već netko spomenuo, pojavio se ogroman problem s novim serijama nvidia grafičkim karticama (GeForce 400 i 500 serija)

• Brink PC issues, affects virtually all NVIDIA GeForce 400 and 500-series owners - makes the game unplayable

Usput, za igru se treba dobro pripremiti (objektno bazirana) pa predlažem da se za bolje razumjevanje detaljnije prouče službeni "Manual" i Brink-wikia stranice:

• http://brink.wikia.com/wiki/Brink_Wiki

PS. Meni je igra fantastična, kao što je rečeno u ovom prijašnjem osvrtu na igru, "combat" borba je uvdje u drugom planu, treba se orjentirati na obavljanje zadataka i kako to najbolje napraviti za sebe i ekipu. Samo da još što prije riješe ove softwerske bugove (dosadašnji patchevi su već riješili neke stvari).

Već sam uzeo dvije licence na steamu, na jednom računalu imam ovaj gore problem s nvidia karticom GTX 460SE (grafika je fenomenalna, ali se igra i PC "zblokaju" nakon 5min), a na drugom PC-u sve leti i nema problema (ATI HD5850). Taman dok ovo riješe ću proučiti sve "objektne štoseve" iz priloženog manuala... :)

Izdvojena samo završna riječ...

Closing Thoughts
 
It's safe to say that Brink isn't an overly demanding game for the most part, though considering it's based on the aging idTech 4 engine, we were surprised by how taxing it could be when using a single GPU at higher resolutions, especially 2560x1600.

We started testing Brink last week soon after it was released and applied the first patch. Performance was significantly lower than it is today. Many of the high-end graphics cards became ~10% faster with the third patch, while some of the budget and mid-range cards witnessed as much as a 30% speed boost.
 
The latest patch notes claim users will see improved performance when using Ambient Occlusion, a feature we enabled for our tests. The first and second patches wouldn't let us use Soft Particles or High Quality Post Processing settings. The third update has removed the former option, but the latter is now usable.
 
At the relatively low resolution of 1280x800 Brink is very hardware-friendly. Affordable $110 graphics cards such as the Radeon HD 6750 and GeForce GTS 450 provide playable performance with maximum visual settings enabled.
 
In fact, that remains somewhat true as you scale up to a more desirable resolution such as 1680x1050. You shouldn't have to splurge on a flagship single-GPU card like the GeForce GTX 580 to play Brink with most of its eye-candy enabled. The Radeon HD 6790 and GeForce GTX 460 averaged around 50fps.
 
Because Brink is largely GPU-dependent, you shouldn't need to worry much about your processor either. Most entry-level parts were capable of delivering between 84 and 94fps. That's not half bad considering the beefier Core i5 and i7 processors maxed out at ~104fps.
 
Judging by the quick updates, it seems Splash Damage is motivated to squash bugs and smooth out performance issues. Nonetheless, it's unfortunate that developers are increasingly comfortable with launching half-baked games instead of delivering a highly polished product from the outset. As for gameplay, we hear the game is solid in many aspects but falls short of amazing. We'll let you be the judge on that.

A game update for the PC version of Brink is in final testing and we’re planning to release it early next week. This update contains a host of fixes and improvements including the following:

We’ve identified the cause of sound dropping out on certain maps when playing networked games for a prolonged amount of time. This will no longer occur.

Graphical performance has been improved, especially when using Ambient Occlusion. We’ve worked closely with both AMD and NVIDIA, and you should see performance and stability improvements in future driver revisions from both parties.

The server browser is tweaked in this update, as well; among other things, a new filter allows you to display only servers with a certain number of players on them, and full servers will no longer be filtered out completely.

There are some smaller fixes for minor issues including your character’s voice occasionally resetting when deleting another character, and a memory leak when alt-tabbing out of the game.

Finally, the dedicated server is set to get an update at the same time as the main game, which will result in improved CPU performance. We’ve protected certain cvars that previously allowed server admins to accidentally break objectives involving NPCs.

The full changelog will be released alongside the update, so keep an eye out for that.

Dovoljno je proguglati i brzo se nađe free download... :)))

PS. Stavio sam u privitak detaljan plan Aquarium mape (Security team plan - Day 1: HOSTAGE RESCUE) sa svim glavnim i sporednim zadacima.

Na karti su prikazane sve razine mape (Level 1, 2, 3) sa poveznim točkama između nivoa.

Uz to dane su i sve taktične pozicije i detaljna legenda.

Jasno, to je izdvojeno iz gore navednog Brink (eGuide) koji ima 336 strana... :)))

recenzija je pogodena u sridu. sve sto je reko stoji.

edit: da li je itko probao 11.5b i kakav je njihov effect na brink?

Igra je puna bug-ova, a trenutno mi je najiritantiniji kad mi pukne u sred igre sound.

Dali se isplati uzeti ili je igra i dalje u "banani"?

Sad bas skidam novi dlc: Agents of Change, ma inace igra i nije toliko losa koliko je puna bug-ova.

eee, kak se igra mp?

ja kliknem da browsa servere, nema nicega?

Meni nikako da sjedne taj Brink.

Meni je legla igra skroz OK. Neznam, meni vrijedi.

  Možda je do ATi-a, meni sve radi super.

Ne znam baš, nemam problema ni s jednom drugom igrom nit sam imao, prije će bit da je do Splash Damage-a, čitam da je igra puna bugova pa ono.. ovo je jedan od njih očito (loša optimizacija za ati)

A i tvoj komp je općenito dosta jači od mog, možda igra 6 jezgri traži.. 

Ne znam točno do kad vrijedi ponuda, vjerojatno do sutra u ponoć..tako da stigneš odigrat možda.

Mislim da ti ju neće izbrisat ali ju nećeš moć pokrenut, tako da ti na isto dođe

...za mene je ET:QW bila dobra igra sto se tice misija (popravi,hakiraj, stavi bombu) pa cu probat taj Brink
