So basically hes saying that choppy frame rate is related to the cracked version of the game, using the paul.dll file?

Yes, I downloaded the game. No, I'm not buying it as it didn't impress me, especially the framerate.

They should've released a demo.

MEh, Ize agree.

EA's tactics seem to only promote a move toward piracy in the PC sector. :roll:

Just because it happened that the person had a pirated version of the game, doesn't mean that's what contributed to the poor performance. Could be just a coincidence.

It seems to me that most people who have problems with performance have nVidia videocards. Maybe that could be a factor? Because I have a downloaded copy and the game actually runs nicely.

Would explain the issue of PS3 fraps and 360 fraps. :lol:

Yes, they definitely should have. I read about all the terrible reviews on this game and since there isn't a demo for me to play on my 360, I can't make my own judgment on how good or bad the game is. So EA, I guess I won't buy it and save myself the money. :D

Ah, if only this was the case! Unfortunately, my game has started running like crap after a few hours of play (see other postings), and it is a FULLY LEGAL, SHOP BOUGHT copy.

I suspect it is piddle poor optimization at work :roll:

Lol, amazing how placing back the original file has worked wonders.

Now I can finally consider whether the gameplay makes this game worth buying. :roll:

It probably is. Imo Idt one crummy 'paul.dll' file could create wonders...

The problem is a crack that possibly causes these problems. So no, I didn't legalize it. I used a different crack.

@zedex

It'd obviously depend on what system you're running. If it's slow, it isn't going to do wonders.

Woah, how is this not locked?

Good God, we just blew the Warez rule to hell... :lol:

Oh well, I have decent frames (20-25) so I'll try it anyway...

--EDIT--
Wait, it's not even a crack... it's just the original file. :?

It fixes just the massive stuttering, even there's some still. The shadows and others still like crap and it keeps loading in front of you.

Seems to be a good headshot for guys who dl the pirated one, but I'm still waiting a patch for the guys who bought the game like me.

Why should it? It's not like anyone shared any links. Besides, there's no sidetracking of warez. It's merely a choppy rate discussion, as far as I can observe. :)

I didn't say it should, it's just we've had people openly admitting to, eh... things.

*Guilty Party*
Although I get the feeling it's already wrapped in my parent's closet, like normal. :lol:
(And hopefully with a 360 or a GTX260-Core216...) *Prays*

But, I must have been lucky. People were complaining about the crack that came with, eh, my "disk," so I got a different one. No problems so far, other that the loading in front of you BS, but I get the feeling that has to do with my HDD configuration... (why the hell didn't I do RAID again?) :-k

I tried it out and it works decently. No, it doesn't fix shadows or graphics in general. But it makes the frame rate more smooth and it doesn't freeze all the time [for me].

Managed to fix my problems too.

My fix - I downloaded "Defraggler" from http://www.filehippo.com/download_defraggler/ - a free disk defragmenter that seems to work better than XP's built in one - defragged the HDD and all is sweet again :D

Seems strange that my PC is older than most here (P4 3.2 running XP Pro with 4GB RAM, 7600GT 256MB graphics card), yet I'm not even getting the loading infront of you BS now I've defragged either - give it a go, you've nothing to lose 8)

There's an added bonus of an aged PC: I'm running with world effects set to "off" - which just happens to get rid of the horrible motion blur as well...

@DarrenR21373: Could you explain more clearly on how to defrag the HDD... the fix I used although takes care of frame rate and freezing, my computer restarted at the "Nick of Time" job because it can't load fully. Although it recovered from the error and should work, I still want to know... thanks.

Little do people know that the "paul.dll" was taken from another game... specifically an Atari one ;).

TDU it seems ...

Now, I wonder if there's going to be a patch for Undercover issues. I'm worried about the fact EA hasn't said a word for the people who bought the game, that's what it has me worried about.

At least EA can say: "yeah, we will release a patch fixing graphical stuff and optimization" ... but nothing ... typical EA...
