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

Developers love to blame piracy for low sales, well when you release a game that doesn't bloody work on popular hardware, what is the excuse then? Oh that's right, you've made the sale, the money is in your account - no need to worry about it. But that's not the issue, the issue is how did this make it to market without testing to find the issue which plagues the two latest series of the most popular GPU manufacturer in the world?

Well from the looks of the game I'd have no problem believing it was developed for 5 year old GPUs and the 360.

Glad to see they're working hard to fix the issues. I have no idea why they launched it a week early.

Download it here > Official Config Tool of /r/Brink release: BRINKKIT

Some other good news too.

PC update coming next week.

A new version is out. Here's the change log.

* Renamed "Image Quality" to a more appropriate "Image Filter"
* Added a very description tooltip to "Image Filter" so you can be better informed on how it can affect visual quality.
* Added "Level of Detail", with 4 settings. Smoothest, Smooth, Sharp (default), and Sharpest.
* Deprecated "Portals". According to Splash Damage, it is never a good time to turn it off.
* Deprecated "Render Mode" (aka r_useThreadedRenderer) from UI as it is not supported in Brink.
* Added "View Distance Multiplier" slider (scales from 0.8-1.2). Not sure if Brink can even take advantage of it, with the small maps it has.
* Added "Wait for Vertical Sync"
* Added "Brightness" slider
* Added "Gamma" slider
* Added "Show Gun"
* Added "Show Lag'O'Meter"
* Added "Mute Game on Lose Focus"
* Added "Mute VOIP on Lose Focus"
* Reversed the old Skip Intro checkbox for continuity.
* Fixed bug causing FOV to be reset to 70 each time the app starts.
* Set default values for all cvars which don't already exist in the autoexec.cfg, in case you are unsure of what it should be.
* Re-arranged the UI to separate regular graphics options from advanced, and added a third column to make room for future cvars and functions.
* Buttonized Base Directory: it will open the config directory in your Explorer.
* Buttonized Config Path: it will open the autoexec.cfg file in your default text editor.

Just run Brinkkit for it to auto update.

Awesome!

It's good to see Brink getting love from the community.

I hope that patch coming this week helps a lot of the people having problems.

...and is it fixed??

They're working with nVidia on the OpenGL issue. Hopefully it won't take them too terribly long.

AMD seems on track to release a new driver hotfix soon.

almost... almost...

Text in the game is still corrupted, sounds are still losing
(less frequently this time), general properties are worse etc.
I have already "cooled down" from the game, this game does not deserve worthy
attention guys.
Save your money for something better!

Catalyst 11.5b is out. It boosts Crossfire performance in BRINK.

http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...15ahotfix.aspx

I was talking to Roadhog earlier. He said it helped his framerates dramatically.

Thanks ViN86!

We don't need to install Catalyst Application Profiles with this driver, correct?

**Roadhog** · 05-25-11, 09:27 PM
