i installed it and it won't run.. i get a render error, most likely due to the fact that it's not in 1280x1024 @ 60hz. anyone know where to fix that? i looked for a config file and couldnt find one >-<

Try searching for ur error on http://forums.vugames.com/forum.jspa?forumID=168 (fear tech support forum)
also i found out a way to change the resolution by doing this:

"I run FEAR in 1280x1024. If you would like to also, you can edit the settings config file located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Monolith Productions\FEAR

Look for a file named settings ; open this file with Notepad or Wordpad.

Now change the value beside "ScreenWidth" to "1280" and change the value beside "ScreenHeight" to "1024" .

Save it and FEAR will now run in 1280x1024 resolution."

I'd say so

I didn't play much but what little I did I wasn't totally impressed. I think it might be something I will play around with every now and then but as far as picking it over CS:S and maybe BF2 I don't see that happening.

Its worth its price I'd say which is free. Feel sorry for the ppl though that gave $40-$50 for it at release mainly for the multiplayer.

Can't seem to register for my free CD key. The after I submit the information on Step 2/3, it keeps getting back to Step 1/3. Is it me alone?

I'm getting the same thing. Guess they need to test their site a little better.

Did you check your Bulk Mail/Spam folder? They might have dumped it there.

Do I need the 1.07 patch for this?

combat has all the latest patch fixes integrated into it.

if anyone is having video issues with FEAR right after installing, try restarting your computer first. I got errors after I installed the latest version of DX9 (I was limited to 1280x1024 only). After restarting, I could run any standard resolution.

Hop on a 16 player DM server... it's absolute mayhem!
