Just built a newish PC, very strange, get horrible slowdown in some parts when playing in full screen mode, v sync on and post processing, but none in windowed mode. Windowed mode is a solid 60fps at 1680×1050, but in full screen even if it’s set at a much lower res still the same slowdown (most noticeable on the right to left clouds in the first level and running past the books in the first room, drops to 40fps).

I’m running an Intel i5 750, and an ATI Radeon 5850 with 4 gig of Ram…

Thanks for the great game btw, have played it so many times 😀

Wow. After playing the demo version of this for the Mac, I am really just waiting for a mobile version for the iPhone and iPod touch. I think it would make you guys a lot of money because the iPhone is becoming a pretty sweet gaming platform and people like to see their favorite computer and console games available on their mobile devices. Really, if you did make it for iPhone, I would cry, because Braid is such an amazing game, and you’d be able to buy in-app level packs for more Braid adventures! I really think this game would make a perfect fit on the iPhone!!! Please make it!!

Unfortunately, at this time the only supported gamepad in Windows is the Xbox 360 controller.

I Would buy a Linux version too !

Indeed, I wouldn’t recommend Runesoft to make the port…

Jonathan:
I bought Braid on Steam and played through the game (on my laptop) in full screen mode not knowing I could alt-enter into windowed mode. I had a horrible framerate (15-20fps) in full screen mode especially on world 5. Even the sprite shading under the street lights at the beginning choked my computer. But in windowed mode it’s smooth as butter, a crisp 40-50fps even on world 5. I didn’t know if you were aware of this; maybe if windowed mode handles things differently you can adapt that to the fullscreen mode?

Anyway here are my specs:
2.16ghz Core Duo (Yonah)
Mobility Radeon x1400
2GB memory
TinyXP

I would expect to see a Mac release “very soon”. I don’t have an exact date for you.

About the power saving CPU thing: if the CPU decides to run slowly (or drop the graphics processor into a slower mode), then it will often not be possible to reach 60fps, so what the game will do is recalibrate to running at 30fps or 20fps or whatever the computer is going to let it do.

The game runs at 20 fps without postprocessing on this rig:

Athlon 4200+
2 GB PC2-6400 RAM
ATI X1200 onboard graphics
Vista Business 32bit

I think the bottleneck is the integrated graphics.

Also, when power saving is enabled for the CPU (a.k.a. Cool&Quiet for AMD, Speedstep for Intel), the game begins to stutter after a few seconds and turns off postprocessing effect but this doesn’t help it to reach 60 fps always. No problem when the CPU works at full speed. (I’ve experienced this on a AMD rig with Dual Core Optimizer 1.14 installed, don’t know the Intel part)
