    on the m11x forum there's a post showing it playing fine on that machine so it shouldn't cause any problems for the M14x

    It runs fine on mine. I even put it on my big screen tv and have been playing it on that without a problem. The graphics on this game aren't terrible, but I can see why the M14x runs it on max settings without a problem. Mediocre textures + small rooms = great fps.

    The game seems to crash on me every time I hit a load screen, and sometimes in gameplay too. I got it off Steam and I'm in the process of re-installing it just in case I got a bad install.

    Other than that (major) problem, the graphics and everything run fine at high settings. I did notice if you have VSYNC on, you'll most likely be capped at 30 FPS, so, turn it off.

    I can't play this game yet... because it isn't released in Europe yet. I got the game already, but it won't install in Steam. "You cannot install this game as it has not been released yet." ... not having a worldwide release is so 90s... :p

    Game was running awesome for me last night. One thing I will say is that long loading screens seem to be par for the course for this game across all platforms. The graphics are solid, but not Crysis-build a new system-solid.

    So far I have been impressed with the performance and my m14x continues to play the new games without issue.

    Just got my copy yesterday and it's running really great.
    I always get between 30 and 50 FPS on max M14X resolution.

    Awesome game by the way :)

    As for loading times, yes they are really long allthough I even installed it on my SSD.... Maybe a patch will help there in the future.

    Do you think an SSD would help very much there?
