Defense Grid 2 unplayable

[lupi]

Installed it for the first time, ended up closing it after about 10 minutes as the screen would freeze so often I'm unable to do anything in the game. As soon as I scroll the first time, locks up a moment then camera goes half way across the map to where cursor now is. Keeps repeating this behavior. Anyone else have or heard of similar problems?

Not on my nvidia card, did you check forums for it? Maybe its a known issue or workaround posted there. Maybe certain driver its effected by.

I have issues with some games with certain graphics effects mess it up, have to disable that setting if i can.

I've had a few crashes over the year(s?), but never anything like what you describe, that I can remember.

Looks like it was somehow a display driver issue. Was doing some troubleshooting due to HDCP problem over the weekend and did a bit of install/unistalling and after the HDCP error went away hit up DG2 and the performance problem also vanished.

Now tell me how to complete some of the levels. DG1 I had no issues, but the new one.. I am stuck on 7, i just cant make it without losing one cube

Just finished 8, all with gold. 7 by far toughest one so far.

through 13, and now I'll say 12 was the hardest. Both resource limited so you can't make many beneficial boost and a wide open difficult terrain to funnel through compounding the $$ issue.

Just finished the last level, lost no cores throughout and all gold medals. Ended up with about 36/56 achievements and could probably get another 5 or so by opening up a single mission and just doing them. Rest start to get rather grindy.

I finished the game too but wasn't able to do most missions without at least losing a few cores. What are your strategies?

 

[lupi]

Generaly throw up a couple guns and a few other supporting towers without boost along the main axis of attack near the entrance point. Then start putting up boosted towers, preferably somewhere that you can get themore coming and going.

As soon as you've got enough towers up that you'received able to wipe out a group before they can grab a core or if they do grab they die before leaving the core pad, start upgrading the towers you have but also save some $$ for dropping new towers based on how the new waves are being dealt with.

Also be lookino out to apply over chargers to the boost (even if tower not fully built up yet) if that will help you out (I like disruptor on my temporal with a tesla and concussion next to it).

And I always used the kill everything beam power.
