Rainbow Six Vegas 2 buggy unplayable !

Just bought Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and installed it today. Started up a game of Terrorist Hunt mode to have some good killing fun. To my surprise, the game is so buggy it is totally unplayable. Screenshots below will show how buggy this game is. The AI within the game is totally unseen, they do react when I shoot, but nowhere to be seen within the game.

run for your lives! the terrorists have gotten a hold of nanotechnology!!!

i don't know what to tell ya. that's one of the strangest bugs i've ever seen...

A buggy and unplayable Ubisoft game? Never...

The most depressing thing is that we're eagerly anticipating Far Cry 2, and none of us wants to accept that it'll probably be released 2 or 3 months before it's fi--LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU FAR CRY 2 WILL BE GREAT LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!

Haha. Patch/drivers/uninstal, reinstall?Stevendawg

more like get a refund from the store I bought it. its not my fault the game is buggy enough to make it unsatisfing.

Suggestion: Don't buy ubisoft games anymore.

(atleast ghost recons or rainbows)

Looks like driver issues to me. What are your specs?kodex1717

I got the latest drivers. Specs dont matter since I run Assassins Creed just fine.

I have the game, and it runs perfectally fine on my computer, would be hardware/driver related.

Ubisoft would clearly not release a game if it was in that state... No-one would

I had something similar with the bottom half of the screen all being "fogged" out. I turned off Anti Aliasing and the game then ran like a dream till I finished it.

That may fix your problems, I am running 8800 GT, Quad Core 9450, 2GB 1000MHz Corsair, Raptor HDD's, and dual boot XP and Vista. The problem happened on both XP and Vista and was fixed on both the same way.

Yeah, I did the same thing too. Its now working flawlessly.

Suggestion - Order your teammates to stand out in the open for bait, and you get to a good cover. Just let the terrorrists come to you and watch them fall like flies as you blind-fire at them.

On a more serious note, my PC is just C2D 2.33GHz, 8500GT, 2GB RAM. Vegas 2 ran fine with the visuals toned down a bit.

Are you being sarcastic..??? God I hope so...

The only console port that got the same score for it's console counterpart was GoW...

Every port since then has always scored lower...

Thats really wierd, a friend of mine has it on PC and i have played it a few times over at his house and i never saw any of those glitches/bugs from those pictures. I personally play the 360 version, only because there are a few more people playing it on there then on the pc.

Hope you can get that fixed man, its a pretty fun game imo. Far from perfect, but ive had alot of fun with the multiplayer so far

I find it amazing that people immediately cry that a game is unplayable because it doesn't work on their super-duper PC.

I'm running R6V2 just fine on a five y/o single CPU P4 with an 1 y/o AGP X1950 vid card. Sure I have to turn down the detail but it's still playable at 1280x1024 with AA and AF on.

Uh so if it doesn't work on their PC what then? You find that "amazing" but how does that help or resolve the issue for all of us in that situation

I did state in a later post that the game have been fixed. The game is in fact bugged and it has nothing to do with my PC.

And before you try to flame me about maybe not knowing anything about computers I have been in the computer industry since 1984. I am MCSE certified and also am a software beta tester for a multi-million dollar company. Usualy a good search on the web will find the answer to your problems.MrUnSavory1

No where within this thread in any of my posts have I intentionally flame you or anyone else. Please dont make assumptions about me, considering no where have I made any assumptions about you.

What then? Well the best course of events would be to do some troubleshooting with your config, rather than coming to a forum and declaring a game unplayable. Usually game problems that are experienced by a few are caused by inidividual config problems. If there are a large number of people experiencing the same issue then it's definitely a game problem. Most issues though are solved by a proper configuration of hardware and drivers.

PC's are not consoles with fixed hardware. You need to have an idea about how your PC can be configured in order to get the most compatible setup for the widest variety of games. If you don't have an idea, you'd be surprised how easy it is to learn with the power of Google.

I posted my system specs in order to illustrate that if you understand how your PC is setup you can run almost anything. I've got a (now) very low end machine and yet I still run most of the latest games at 1280x1024 res with medium settings and get decent frame rates of 30 fps or above. It's all about knowing how to get the best out of your machine, not just expecting everything to run without intervention.

YMMV

[edit to improve value]

For most issues the following steps will solve the problem:

Download and install latest drivers for sound and video cards (use a driver cleaner to remove the old ones first)

Download and install the latest version of DirectX (search windows.com for the latest Dx redistribution package)

For sound issues reduce sound card acceleration using Windows>Control Panel>Sounds and Audio>Speaker Advanced settings>Performance

Turn off in game antialiasing and anisotropic filtering settings and use hardware settings through card drivers

Optional: Avoid the video card driver suites (i.e. ATi Catalyst control center), download and install drivers only and use a 3rd party control software such as ATi Tray Tools
