The only thing that might have helped a bit for me was going into task manager, selecting the Might & Magic process and putting it on high priority, but the game is still stuttering pretty badly especially on the overworld map. For some people turning animation quality to low jumped their FPS from ~10 to 70, or at least someone said so on that thread; didn't really affect anything for me.

This is so weird, I have an older rig with everything turned up to the max and it runs extremely fluently except for the loading screens. I did hear the 32-bit version was utterly crippled, though.

So has anyone messed around with the game's data files at all yet? They're all in nicely readable formats except for the actual savegames (which is just a ZIP file with additional header data -- delete and there you are) e: nevermind, saves for the wrong game.

Interestingly, the only thing listed in UnlockableContent.csv is that helmet you could get via a promo code given out at PAX (grrrr, thanks for thinking of us others!). I'm guessing they'll be patching that file when the promised DLC comes out. No idea where the additional UPlay content is unlocked from.

Does anyone else have to fight the compulsion to step in every single drat square even though you know there's no need?

Doesn't it give you an achievement? Anyway, yes, I totally do that.

So I can no longer save. Everything was working fine before, but I started a new run and now I can't save or enter the well in Sorpigal. I read that save corruption can cause this so I deleted all the saves and started fresh. Still nothing. Deleted Uplay cache data and Steam local files, reinstalled, still nothing. I don't understand why, I had no issues with this before. :(

Did your save game directory go read-only somehow?

Are there any other good RPG's out recently or coming soon? Doesn't have to be like M&M necessarily. I was looking at Dark Souls 2 and Grim Dawn myself. DS2 is out pretty soon, but I guess Grim Dawn still has a while yet.

Grim Dawn is a Diablo-like game, if that helps. I backed it and there's an act's worth of content to check out in the early access.

A bit older, Mars: War Logs is kinda janky, but it's a magicpunk (is that even a word?) RPG set on Mars, and I enjoyed it nonetheless. Developer Spiders' next game, Bound by Flame, is coming this year.

In tactical RPGs there's Banner Saga and Expeditions: Conquistador.

The new campaign for Shadowrun is out on Feb. 27th.

South Park: The Stick of Truth is out two weeks from now. I'm still on the fence.

Does anyone know if the physical retail copy comes with a steam key? The box is really nice, and it comes with a cloth map.

UPlay only.

So, the DLC's out and a few hundred megs have downloaded, but it's showing as not activated in Extras. Next to that promo helmet, taunting me. Not sure what's up, apparently it should activate for deluxe owners automatically.

e: entering my code in the DLC's code entry field activated it.
