Red Orchestra 2: How did they fuck this up?

Anyone got Red Orchestra 2? Here’s how the game looked like 1 year ago:

It looks fucking BADASS right?!

At the moment everyone who already has the game knows that this is 100% bullshit, the game is almost completly unplayable, it crashes for many people and works like shit (just Google/look on Red Orchestra 2 forums for FPS drops, stability problems and “rogame.exe not responding”). I have no idea what happened, I thought a great developer like TripWire Interactive wouldn’t fuck this up but unfortunately they did. The game doesn’t even look like on the video above and it runs a lot worse even on very powerful rigs.

Here are some random shots (Medium mixed with Ultra settings):

How did they fuck up such a great engine like Unreal Engine 3.0+ it’s beyond me, most of the games on it work amazingly good even on consoles – Borderlands, Bulletstorm, Batman Arkham Asylum, Gears of War series and many more. So right now all we can do is wait…for another patch…

 

Oh and here’s a video from March 2011, look how drastically the game changed (looks a lot more like what we have today but the GUI is still better):

    I know they will fix it but they should hold off the release and release it when it’s done (this christmas would give them enough time).

    I’ve bought the game in the Deluxe package. In the beta, yes there were serious bugs. There was no server browser for a few days, people disappearing and stuff. It happened.

    When they released the game, the performance became all better, I could play it on my “normal” gaming machine without any problem. It runs even on my business laptop (ThinkPad T500), it juts loads a lot. (1minutes or so.)

    Anyway, its FAR from _that_ bad. Dead Island is what a buggy piece of cr@p looks like, not Red Orchestra. Guess you mistook the two.

    Okay, there are still things left for Tripwire to fix. But I love that studio, they always fix their games, release free DLCs, models, etc. Just check out Killing Floor. Still giving out Christmas/Summer packs … in 2011.

    They will fix this up. I’m sure.

    The game is buggy, unstable, laggy, low FPS, broken features, and unrealistic. I regret wasting my money on it.

    The game as it is now is not worth price

    I pre-ordered it and now I keep it untouched for a few weeks. Hopefully it gets better.
    Of course it would have been cheaper to buy it later…

    who the fuck makes these translations… google?
    btw… dude stranded.. yoshiro will think youre a troll… twitter is shit and he wont respond

    i did point out the shit of ro2 and compared it to the beta in the official group ro2 steam chat right after first playing it… and guess what.. i got banned from there by a person by the nick of Zips, family and friends betatester. I was only told that im making shit up and then i was out… pretty convenient

    i think its pretty clear that ro2 is a game they (TW) wanted to play… its not about the customer, were only the buyers that are suppose to pay for the development… john gibson said on the ro2 forums that he can run the game on nvidia 8800 and a dual core… hmm?

    in the second video… major mispronounce of SPARTANOVKA… spotanoffka?xD fucking american… OH YEA …

    I agree, sadly the game is a buggy mess. I only encountered crashes with the singleplayer campaign, but the stat system is broken beyond belief. I prefer the current gui and hud btw. I think the developer will fix these issues, if they don’t it will hurt the “small” developer which isn’t a good thing, I love their games.

    Kłęby Pary? Dear god, words can not describe my face right now.

    You can manually do that and the Polish translation is just fucking bad, I wanted to point out for Polish people the Kłęby Pary (Steam Cloud synchronization).

    What the fuck?

    Why do you use Polish translation? Audio must be retarded. Pure russian/german must be awesome, but somehow they are too lazy to fix that. There are native-only audio files, but we can’t use them. TWI, patch this game ASAP.
