Magnum,
I understand your frustration and it is felt by many others in the FFoW community. Was the PC version released too early, yes. Without a doubt we would all have to be honest in saying that. As to the foliage issue, Nvidia has already taken responsibility for that and has beta drivers available that fix an issue like the one you are describing.
We all plunked down the cash for this title and we can either bash it to death which gets us nowhere or we can grit our teeth, provide diagnostic feedback to KAOS and hope it gets better.
Please start a thread in our
Technical Support section, and we will do what we can in helping you fix these issues.
