WB re-released the PC version last week and while I still thought it was sort-of broken, it at least ran well enough on my system to be playable. Others Not so lucky. Even after four months of ostensibly fixing the game, a whole bunch of people still had complaints—from the game not launching to the same ol’ stuttering issues we saw back in June. The Steam forums have been in uproar all week.

Emphasis on “the issues that we cannot fix.” That’s uh...that doesn’t sound good. We’ll keep you updated if we learn anything more.
