Dust in your PC is a classic problem, and one that Ubisoft has apparently parodies with the computer port of From Dust. The weird little God-game has earned much rage from the PC gamer community, and it's been advised that you stay away from the game until it's been fixed (if it ever is).
Forums, social networks and sites like Rock, Paper, Shotgun have been reporting all sorts of crap, making this one PC port to avoid.
First of all, it features crappy DRM. While it doesn't force a constant online connection, it does require online validation every single time you start the game. Once you get past that, you can look forward to a fixed framerate, poor resolution choices, and a host of glitches. Oh, and no anti-aliasing either, because who doesn't love getting headaches?
Ah, Ubisoft just loves making friends with PC gamers.

U bi hurting me...
*sigh*
Keep on keeping on, Ubisoft.
Totally.
When you exit!?!?!?!
Say what?
"Sorry, we have detected you attempting to exit with a pirated game, we shall now spam your computer with penises"
And people wonder why I gave up on PC gaming...
I was going to get this on Steam but perhaps I'll just wait for an XBL sale instead.
Bit of a shame really.
Nice trolling... sorta. Considering this is more ubisofts bad than PC's bad tho, u still sound kinda, well... dumb?
Either that or you're just painfully unamusing trolls that aren't even clever or funny.
If u need guidance, however, do pay close attention to stealth or soffik. They can get u started in the right direction
And people wonder why I gave up on PC gaming..."
Seriously... THIS!
"See, this god sim style of play lends itself very well to mouse control"
That's exactly why I passed on the 360 version. I hated the controls and camera. Now I'm reading in the Steam community forums that the 360 controller is highly recommended. *facedesk*
Yeah seriously. These people are morons. Bayonetta launch on ps3 is subpar? Drop the ps3. FF13 better on PS3, better sell your 360. Do I even need to mention the Wii or portables...?
As long as it plays 1680x1050 at 30 fps I'm happy.
This is their way of signalling that they don't want to have to make PC ports anymore, and I think we should honor their wishes.
Or, better yet, send them a message that this bullshit is unacceptable by, you know... not buying the product.
Why screw the dev when the publisher's BS is easily overcome?
Anyway, I had to choose and I choose Bastion :-P
Talking about double standards...
That said, I do agree with you about the double standards in general but I for one can do no more about it than to just not buy Diablo III (as I did with SC2).
They previously said it was a one-time activation.
Then proceeded to delete that thread a few days later.
Then ended by coming up with a bullshit DRM that hurts paying consumers and gives the best version of the game to Pirates.
There, fixed that a little.
I've become convinced over the last few months that Ubisoft hates this industry and the people it provides goods and services too.
