Over there
I'm running the game at 1920x1200 with all the details on highest on a 8800 Ultra. I haven't noticed any real slowdowns so far.

I would prefer keyboard only vehicle controls, but I've seen much worse controls than the current scheme.

Any complaints about the UI being designed for consoles are silly. There aren't any real usability problems with the UI aside from the scrolling via page up/down only in some places.

The GameSpy integration works a bit better than it did in UT3 at least. I don't think the problems with hosting games are directly related to that though, although I would have preferred they integrate with Steam and get a system that isn't complete ****.

It should be the local IP of your computer.

Thanks Haarg. Also I have an 8800gt and when I put it on 1920*1200 it became a slideshow. Did you flip anything off like DoF or Anistropic Filtering? If not I may have to do some tweaking.

So that's how you scroll on the quest briefing? The UI is inconsistent, like I know scroll wheel will scroll up and down on the shop screen between the selections, so I don't know why they don't do it everywhere. Again, nothing that can't be patched.

Also, it would be nice for some keyboard shortcuts. Like Diablo II patched in a feature to quicksell stuff by shift-clicking on items in the vendor screen to buypass the "do you want to sell this?" confirmation.

the shooting physics are a mystery to me, theres no visual indicator of where my shots are landing, so i cant tell if i should be leading my sniper shots or not.

I know pistols are not hitscan. I was hosting last night and there was a noticeable delay between shot being fired from my pistol and the enemy taking damage.

One of Lilith's skills makes bullets travel faster.

I have every option turned on or using the highest setting, including depth of field and anisotropic filtering.

I find it annoying that you can't scroll with the mouse wheel through text in the UI.

Having said that though.. I think the art direction is amazingly tight. And I like all the polish put into the game. The first Boss did seem really really easy though. It might just be me, but all I did was toss a few grenades and he was done.

While I'm feeling a bit ubergeeky for liking an RPG, I do indeed like it. I'm playing as Lilith and I got to lvl 13 last night.

Could someone please clear up some time for me so I can play?

thx.

Code: 
To enable scroll wheel in text boxes:
-----------------------------------
Within WillowInput.ini

Search for all instances of the following (there should only be two instances):

InputKeyName="MouseScrollUp",ModifierKeyFlags=42
InputKeyName="MouseScrollDown",ModifierKeyFlags=42

remove the ",ModifierKeyFlags=42" so they look like:

InputKeyName="MouseScrollUp"
InputKeyName="MouseScrollDown"

Graphicscard is not everything. What kind of CPU and how many RAM do you have?

I ****ing hate how I have to use the unique nickname.

Why? Simple. I have to use Dark_PuIse as a unique nick, and I *HATE* that.

Why can't I just be named whatever the **** I want to be named? ****ing Gamespy.

That said, Brizz and I did have some fun, and a hell of a battle taking down a certain boss whose name I can't remember right now. (I'll edit this post when I remember.) I had to revive him a few times, and it took us a goddamn while to get him down, but we did.

Also, Haarg was in our game... kinda.

I bought this earlier, gotta wait for euro unlock in a couple of days.

How are the controls? I hear there's some mouse smoothing you have to .ini away, but it worries me a little since I have tons of issues with the mouse sensitivity in bioshock, gears, and mass effect (all being UE3, bioshock also being the same publisher).
Essentially the sensitivity will increase gradually as I play over the course of 5-10 minutes, until it gets so high that even on the lowest setting I can only move about 50 pixels each update. If I turn my sensitivity down through inis or in windows, I have to turn it so low that I can't navigate the ingame menues.

This was mostly an issue in bioshock, and was something that persisted through a format and 2 different mice, as well as the obvious ini/registry tweaks and various drivers. 2k's tech support answer was basically "we can't help you because your computer is broken".

This is different from regular mouse accelleration/smoothing. There's a thread on the bioshock forums that's about 400 replies long and people still haven't found a fix.
