I can't even start the game as the default resolution is higher than my 720p tv will display. It hasn't created any user files/directories yet that I can tell for me to edit to change the default resolution. So far they're not winning me over. hah

A bit surprised, no stupid cover system and no stupid regenerating health. Seems promising so far and I can tell there's gonna be a lot of whining from the couches about this game.

Also same voice actor as Thorton in AP? Smile

Maybe you can press ALT+ENTER to get it in Window mode just enough so you can edit the options? Smile

It does use Chrome Engine 4 (Juarez games.) and due to that it both looks good and runs good, gameplay seems nice as well so far but I'm just testing various stuff on a lower difficulty level.

EDIT: Same guides for tweaking CoJ works here as well.

 Spoiler:
 


EDIT: Debugconf.scr editing also worked.

Also the demo supports SP and MP.


What is tweaked then?

As tried to be shown by using the B /B tags I mostly altered a few minor things from their highest settings to what Call of Juarez (And it's sequel prequel.) used at highest, shadow resolution and bit depth up from 1024x1024 and 24-bit to 2048x2048 pixels and 32-bit with a few minor improvements to postfx and some small alterations to the sound engine (Not shown in the above quote.)

Those .scr files can be opened in notepad and edited directly, files can also be extracted to their equal place outside the archive and edited from there as with the debug commands to say get rid of logo videos or enable advanced editing. (Highlighted funnily enough via X-Box360 icons as in Bound in Blood.)

Most visual difference would come from the clearer shadows but this will also affect framerate the most, should still be very playable however if you have recent hardware to handle the extra graphical load. Smile

Default resolution as defined (Can be seen by opening the Archive0.pak or what it's name was, simple .zip archive actually.) is 1600x900 but this is auto-detected when starting the game along with refresh rate (Probably the problem you have.) and if it's not supported a "safe" resolution of 1024x768 is used instead along with a refresh rate of 60
(This can cause issues with certain monitors using lower special refresh rates or more exact ones, my own Samsung 226CW for example reports 59.xxx something but can handle 60.0 without issue leading to some games like Bad Company to report the exact framerate whereas most other run at full 60.)

Ahem... I'm not exactly new at gaming, but I can't seem to stay hidden in the bushes in the very beginning of the demo. I can sneak under the first shack, but from there I get spotted no matter what bush I hide in. I don't get spotted while sneaking to and from, but while staying low in the bushes just like in Crysis or Farcry. I'm assuming that I should be able to use the bushes as cover in this game but...I don't know...Help?

Any info on dedicated servers? I loved Sniper Elite and this looks better, so I'm definitely interested in it. I see no mention of anti-cheat or dedicated servers anywhere though. Will definitely have to check out the demo.

Don't shoot anyone. Look at your map to see what direction the enemy is looking. If they don't look your way, move further in crouch.

I tried hiding in the bushes too but it didn't seem to work either. I made it through that section by sprinting by when they weren't looking. I'm disappointed that (so far) hiding in the bushes isn't working. The AI seems to be okay too. I hid in one of the building and capped a guy and missed his friend. I sat back and wondered if they would come into the building and they did, of course, only to be sent to the great beyond Smile . In some shooters as soon as you hide they tend to forget where you are which bothers me sometimes.

The stance system is a bit odd; you can in fact prone as well, although I only found that out by accident cuz I held my key down Razz

I'll amuse myself with the full version of this game, but the AI is a bit glitchy. Haven't tried the MP yet though Smile

@ the above: sneaking works fine, as long as you stay crouched. I didn't stop moving once in the first part, just stayed in the bushes constantly. It's a bit more annoying in the 2nd part when you need to get up to the lighthouse. Got detected there but fooled them by running out of sight and hiding behind a jeep Cool Face

After playing the demo, I'm pretty disappointed. The stealth mechanics suck and are too simplistic, you can't hide in the bushes even though you have full camouflage gear on. If you miss even one shot, everyone in the area knows your position and is already shooting at you. I mean, since when do snipers give out their position for missing only one shot?

Sadly, this somehow reminds me of Alpha Protocol.

As long as there isn't any retarded-ass protection on this I'll be buying this. The $30 price-point is generally my limit and in the little i've played it'll be worth it.

I played MP via LAN with Tunngle. Much people were playing at that moment, so there were some nice games Very Happy
You can't prone in MP btw.

Hey, this is actually pretty cool Smile It took me awhile to adjust to play with patience, I used to be good at that and played a lot of puzzle and stealth games, but I guess I have also been hit by the "Dummening" of games in general so now my patience is pretty slim Very Happy But this is a good sniper game.

Ps. If somebody knows how to increase the draw distance then please, speak up Smile

Sniper games in MP only work if you can't cross over a midpoint line. If it is free roam then it is no better a game than run and gun with pistol and knives.

And just what is "Dummening"?

First of all, I'm talkning about the multiplayer as doesn't interest me.

Secondly, The "dummening" was something born out of the word dumb and is what has happened to most games for the past 10 years Imho (The games have become too simplified).

Pretty fun demo, kind of hate the use stealth or else restart the mission thing, you should be able to try and hold them off if the alarm goes off (though I did manage to kill everyone through the first mission without raising the alarm)

Didn't really get the part where you had to time your shots with the jets, why not just use the silenced sniper rifle? makes no sense to me

Sometimes you can be hiding in the thickest foliage yet still your visible meter will raise

Well for those who say that the stealth system sucks, I realy dont know what your talking about. You can hide in the bushes and no one will see you ofcourse you didnt kill a guard becouse than the rest of the AI soldiers will be on alert and watch every movment and they will spot you in no time. Another thing is how your hide in a bush if your almost outside of a bush its easyer for the soldiers to spot you. Its good to change your shooting place after you kill a soldier two. I killed all the enemy soldiers in the first and second map without triger any alarm so if you say the stealth system sucks, that only means you dont know how to use the stealth system right in these game.

Open the "video.scr" file in game install directory/Game/out/Settings/ using Notepad and try changing the resolution to your desktop resolution. Worked for me...
