r7719 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3GHz | ATI Radeon FireGL 5600 | Working with two bugs: sometimes the fog is much thicker and I do not see anything. Sometimes the character disappears completely, so that can only be seen ski or snowboard. | Denissx Rus |
^3.0 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Athlon II X4 645 @ 3.1GHz | ATI Radeon HD 4250 | Unplayable! The game seems to have a lot of graphics issues. I can't even get to make a save so I can at least have a banner for this one. | |
3.0-370 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3GHz | ATI Radeon FireGL 5600 | Working without bugs because 3.0-370 has "Scaled EFB Copy" option, but speed is 80-90% | Denissx Rus |
