    Torchlight

    Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Oct 27, 2009

    Torchlight is a Diablo-style action RPG from Runic Games. The game features three classes, randomly generated dungeons, and lots and lots of loot.

    So the framerate really is pretty bad.

    Yep, most the time it feels like it's running at 20-25 FPS, and it hitches and staggers fairly often. 
    Really really hoping it's patched, because otherwise the game is awesome :\

    It's pretty bad but playable. It actually reminds me of the first few months Diablo 2 was out in terms of the hitches and lag. Hopefully they will fix it. I started playing this morning at 9ish and here it is 1:30 and I just finally got out of my seat. I feel the D2 burn again.

    Runs better than it does on my PC, so I'm happy.

    I guess you're talking about 360, right? It runs without a hitch on my PC...

    Yeah same here, the game is ridiculously addicting, this is pretty much the only problem I have.

    I tried it on the 360, there were parts that became unplayable to me, I hope they fix it because it works well with a gamepad.

    I came in here expecting the OP to be running Windows 98 or something. Forgot Torchlight actually came out on the 360.

    Yeah I just checked it out myself. It's not bad. The only thing I've noticed was the graphics were sub-par compared to the PC version. Which isn't a problem and pretty much expected.

    I haven't had any problems with framerate or anything so far. Then again I don't think I even got around to demoing it and there was a patch out. 
     
    Still, runs better than it does on my PC.

    I didn't have too many problems when I played through it last week... It only slowed down every now and then.

    It'll probably run better than it would on my computer so I guess this is the best option for me :P

    If you can run it on the highest setting at what seems like it's above 60fps, will it be that diffetent? (ie are people exaggerating?)

    I hate the mouse clicking and wanted the 1:1 controls, so I was looking forward to the 360 edition, but this sounds kinda crappy.

    How the hell does this game have bad framerate when full-blown 3D games on the console don't?

    Huge difference between 25 and 60fps, and I don't know about you but I think it looks a lot better than the console version.

    I'm having screen tearing issues on the 360. But I think the game is totally compliant. Also, double achievements and an easy S-rank helped the sale

    Maybe they'll patch the framerate issues. That seems like all the rage these days.

    So there has been a patch released a few days ago and it has resolved MOST of the FPS issues, I got 2 or 3 really abd hiccups when there was a ton of spells going off though, also had the game lock up my xbox on me, sucked!
