Just  played the beta build, my laptop system detail is down at the bottom, since i got no desktop here in Aus, so I'll mainly use this one. And there's no performance report on non-high-end machine yet.

First thing first, the performance I got is pretty good, really a lot better than SupCom. I set Shadow to medium and Texture to Medium, everything else in High, no AA. I got satisfactory framerate. I notice the Shadow setting make some lighting effect enable too, like if i set Shadow to low, the Torch Bearer's staff won't shine and the blooming is disabled. Don't sure if this is intentional or not, but might as well report. I like how the framerate is stable, like in Supcom. It won't vary much when there's a lot of effects going on or increased in number. But still, there a drop of framerate when open up interfaces windows, like Skill tree or Item shop.

Second, the Attack move is not working at it best, sometimes it make my character stop walking, and sometime not attacking even if there's enemies in range. Also with Rook's melee attack sometime he walks pass through the crowd to the target point, sometime he make a detour. I supposed he should not be able to walk through the armies.

I tried out only Rook and Torch Bearer, haven't tried out that other guy yet.
