We try to be as even-handed as possible here at Joystiq, but we’re going to give you the blunt version: If you were thinking of picking up the From Dust port on PC, you should hold off … at least for now.
While the game doesn’t force you to be constantly online to play, Ubisoft has seen fit to require a connection every time you launch the title, which isn’t much better. Rock, Paper, Shotgun reports that paying players will find a capped frame rate, limited resolutions for the windowed mode, no anti-aliasing and plenty of bugs. What may be a mere annoyance for console gamers is, of course, the digital equivalent of a plague of frogs on PC.
We here at Joystiq are currently formulating a fix for the problems. True to the spirit of the game, we recommend players dump a pile of sand on their computer, and then a bunch of lava, and then reload their last save.
Note: Technically speaking, we are not computer technicians.
