To OP.
Sincerely, I really want to say that there is high chance that your system might not handle the deliberate overload of RO2 unless you sacrifice graphical option fairly hard.
I have i5 760 2.8GHz, 4G ram DDR3, GTX460 1G gigabyte udv?
7200? RPM? hard drive, windows 7 home premium, audiotrack maya5.1 pos sound card
1. Texture hi
(if set to med, game really look pretty bad)
2. Detail mode(world detail as various scattered objects, dust blowing)=hi
(if detail set to med, there's no dust, really rare clean battlefield looking very clean and barren)
3. Fxquality detail =med
4. character detail = low
everything else at low.
no AA, no Vsync, aniso X16
no bloom, no depth of field, no post process effect
shadow aggressively diminished in resolution to 32
texturemaxlodsize aggressively diminished to 1024 or 512 with LODbias 1 or2
Particlelodbias=1 (lesser graphic setting than 0)
SkeletalmeshLODbias=1 (less detailed character detail at close distance)
Game still stutters hard in mp with more than 16 ppl on.
Sound breaks up if many gun sound or auto sound go off simulteneously.
Arty is guaranteed sound breaker
small map fps from 35-80? with stuttering, sound breaking
big map fps from 30-65 with more stuttering, sound breaking
In all maps fps dips if more than 16 ppl playing on server. (no exception)
I can run GTA4 (unoptimized game in general) almost fantastically with avg fps of 56.xx but RO2 fps is very inconsistent, stutters, sound breaks, memory leaks pretty often.
All these leads to ONE CONCLUSION.
Game is rushed, and code is not optimized.
Do you know recent flight simulator il2 cliff of dover?
RO2 is kind of similar to that game, full of bugs, stuttering, mundane sound quality, sound breaking,
IL2 COD too is only allowed to run fine for very limited users with uber system, (quad faster than 3.5GHz, 8G ram, gfx powerful than 570 or sli, cf)
RO2 should run far better with current contents yet its code is poorly written due to deadline, it ends up requiring much more system requirement than what it actually need.
There are few cases that some ppl with average spec luckily have rare issue (I presume they sacrificed lots of options)
But I'd say it's very very very very very risky to choose ro2 in current state.
For the same reason, I don't even look at il2 cliff of dover as it's rushed mess.
With 40 bucks you can chooose much safer, much solidified options guaranteed by lots of ppl.
In terms of technical integrity, RO2 was horrible, absolutely horrible choice among my pc game purchase history.
I played lots of fps, so I know manageble graphic is important yet, smooth performance is absolutely required for good fps experience.
If you really want the game, wait till so many technical issues are somewhat ironed out or some serious mod comes out.
I bet my steam library....that you can find better ways to spend 40 bucks than putting into current state of RO2.
Please THIS IS VERY RISKY CHOICE, FOR THIS KIND OF RUSHED, ISSUEFUL OF GAME, LONG AND HARD CONSIDERATION IS NEEDED BEFORE PURCHASE DECISION... REALLY...
