    Seems like there's widespread issues with this game. People with hugely powerful rigs can't get it above 20FPS which is atrocious for an xbox port. I can run nearly all multiplatform games maxed out at my native res of 1920x1080 but, applying those settings here gets me that 20FPS bottleneck. 
     
    Also, along with having no graphical settings, there is no way to change the resolution from within the game - you need to modify the config file or settle with their 'resolution options' of low, medium, high and ultra. This is beyond a joke. Really shocked considering how much I was looking forward to this release.

    Well, the CEO of Just Add Water is already on the Steam forums making promises. Hopefully, they'll actually be kept.  
     
    Problems seem ridiculously widespread - users with 580, 480 and 5870 graphics cards can barley get this game to run. I have a laptop so just assumed mobile driver issues (happened with Kane and Lynch 2) but I'm far from the only one. Kinda ridiculous when I was maxing out Batman: AA last night at 1920x1080 and yet can't run an Xbox game...

    So I just bought the Oddbox. Been waiting for years for a PC port of Stranger's Wrath. Holy fuck does it run bad. The only graphical options you have are resolution changes, and even then the game only supports 4:3. No widescreen at all. Also, I would think that even though my PC isn't super powerful I should be able to max it out. I can run it at a somewhat acceptable framerate on medium resolution though It still slows down at times. At least I haven't had any crashes yet. I really can't recommend it to anyone, but at least you can get the Oddbox for 19 bucks right now on Steam.

    Holy Crap.  I have a maxed out M11X (about three months old) that plays pretty much everything at higher settings and I can't get past the title screen.  I love PC and console games, but this is the one enormous thorn in PC gaming's side--the inability to know, without a doubt, that the game you are drooling over will work on your rig.  Also, I wish gamepads (like my madcatz 360 knock-off) worked universally.  Just my two cents.  Desperately awaiting a patch, one of my favorite games ever.  With a twist!

    Your machine is too obsolete. Buy a new one!

    I can run it on medium, but I still have framerate issues. Also something that nobody has mentioned was how terrible the aiming was. Damn this shit... still going to beat it though.

     did this ever get patched? I'm interested in this because of the sale, but I don't want to buy if it won't run well/doesn't use the wired 360 controller well.

    I can't even get the game to run. It freezes on the loading screen every time. Bleh. Anyone ever come across a fix?
