[WD] Hickups in Cutscenes and small Sound Issues

edited April 2012 in Game Support
Heyo TT Community and TT Team,

I played The Walking Dead recently after some thinking and I gotta say, that Telltale really made an awesome improvement compared to their last games and that this is the way to go.

Only thing, which annoys me a bit, is, that I have some performance "hickups" in Cutscenes or Action Scenes (mostly when a camera change happens) and that I have some small and strange sound issues (sometimes distorted sound, sometimes changes volume out of the sudden).

I do not know, if this has been fixed now, but in case, here's a DXDiag from my PC:

It is a very very fresh Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit Installation with the newest nVidia Beta Drivers.

Maybe the Sound Issues came from the Creative Audigy and the sound quality set to 96 KHz. I just set them to 48 KHz again and will see, if the problem still appears.

Another kind of Feedback:

The Game feels awesome, plays very well, BUT!

The Animations sometimes kinda look....stiff. If TellTale could work on those a bit more, perfect.

The 2nd point is more like from my past as a "GFX Fanatic", but I think some of the textures here and there could use a higher resolution. Some textures looked so low-res, like 256x256 pixels, but that's my opinion.

Otherwise...I cannot wait for Episode 2 to be released on Steam.
