MaLDo had discovered that the ropes physics is causing the terrible framerate drops on the first level. It Must be very easy to fix and is probably an oversight on Crytek's part.
SLI users are getting really bad framerate drops for no reason at all, again, this could be linked to the same problem.
As many of you know , MaLDo knows his stuff and he has said that this will need to be patched out.
There is nothing at all any user can do to stop this so it really is down to Crytek to get this sorted.
How this ever got through PC testing God only knows, it's not as if the problem is hidden, its in the first 10 minutes of the game.
Please everyone bump this or it will never be fixed.
