I figured it out, the game hates manually turned on AA in catalyst center. I turned it off and it ran fine. Get about 35-40 FPS on high settings with my 6850.
I forgot how much I like this game, it's too bad Microsoft had to fuck it over every way they could. Not being open world, killing the originla PC port, no marketing. Still af un game. Controls are fucking goofy on PC because youre using the flash light to "aim" but fun and much easier. I'm actually exploring for thermals and manuscripts now since i'm not nervous i'll die by loggersi n the dark.
Game is pretty in game but holy fuck why didn't they still not fix the horrendous pre-rendered cutscenes. Those also look wayyyy worse then I rememberd them looking on Xbox and the in game graphics look better

Also what kind of game is maerican nightmare supposed to be
