I'm mostly posting this because I really need more information on how it runs on other peoples computers. I'm shooting for 50 FPS on anything with a graphics card. So if you could toss me out a number, that would be swell. Mine is 50 FPS all around, with occasional hiccups, but once or twice it slowly died and had the FPS continuously drop, which scares me. Hope HWA 250 solves that.

Oh yeah, and I disabled both the parallax layers as well as the overlay for the chain, because they aren't done in build 249 of HWA. Yves said the BIO should probably be functional for 250, so don't mind that.

Pretty nice but the frame rate for me was about 25 but the rotation was loads better. Also, the grappling hook would be much better if you could aim with the mouse.

It always stayed on 50 FPS for me, never went lower.

Thats good to hear. I imagine a great deal of it is your computers DX9 support.
