I doubt they'll bother, specially with DLC being made and a possible PS4 version on the works.

I mean, they didn't bother to fix the problems Far Cry 4 and WatchDogs had with AMD cards (I don't even know if FC 4 finally supports CrossFire or still doesn't), and both are far bigger games than Anno.

Btw, I watched a gameplay video from Anno 2070 and, besides the different setting, it's quite similar to Anno 1404. I would even say that it can be a little easier than 1404. It can be an alternative if you don't want to bother with 2205 because it still looks good and doesn't have UPlay.

 

Yeah, once I heard of the memroy issues I immedietly thought of current gens "unified memory" and just let out a depressing sigh. After seeing what happened with BLOPS III, AK, MKX, this gen has so far told me that the unified memory system is actually becoming a problem for PC gaming and devs are also not allocating or being allocated the resources needed for decent quality PC ports. I mean there are actual good ports and we've had some this eyar but for the bigger games it's been issues up the arse and even for an exclusive like ANNO I expected better but since an apparent console version might be in the works I'm not going to be surpised any more.

In fact as much as some enjoyed Overwatch's beta, I'm actually going to start watching Blizz closely to see if they fuck up the PC version like they did with Diablo III. I guess I'm being jaded but I've felt this way for quite some time, I just want to play games I love without being treated like shit or gimped and I;m certainly not buying a console version when I;m invested in a platform and market I love. I don't care how good a version a console one is, I'd rather I get the good version on my own PC.

All I can say is next year better be the eyar where devs , especially AAA ones shape the hell up with how they approach PC ports, I'd rather they just make PC versions first since that method has proven to actually work and actually balances out in terms of quality for both PC and consoles. I hope Firaxis don't fuck around with XCOM 2 either because they claim it's exclusive and while I don't care if the game goes to consoles(some console folk on here seem pretty salty about Helldivers for some reason), I just want to work wonders on my setup.

 

Also today I sent another email reply to Scan UK about my monitor still not being dispatched and I checked to find that it's still in the pre-order status and it's set back to Jan 8th 2016....

And I simply look around for AOC G2460PG 24" 144Hz GSYNC and all the other vendors are still selling that model and none of them apart from SCAN are taking "pre-orders" for a monitor that was released a year prior. It just feels like they are wasting my time andit honestly feels like bullshit how they can't manage to obtain stock for a monitor that's a year old while their competitors have no issues selling the same model. Last email they asked if I wanted a refund or to buy an even more expensive monitor, like the sheer balls they have to suggest I pour more money into buying higher priced monitor from them, where I work that's not really customer service, that's actual cheek to suggest the customer pay more for something.

You point all the problems of PC ports to the memory leaks and the unified memory of consoles, but can I point (and I admit that I'm probably biased because I don't like it) that leaving Ubisoft aside, because they no longer know how to make PC games, almost every other game with problems features GameWorks?

After all, it's weird and surprising, that the two PC publishers with fewer problems are EA and Activision, which don't use it.

 

And wtf with your monitor? I hope you've asked for a refund and/or send them to hell. Althought the monitor isn't on stock neither at Overclockers or Amazon uk :-/. Can it be that the monitor is EOL? Or they are sending them all to the US, because Amazon.com does have it on stock.
