So I went through a flawlessly run bunch of cinematic sequences until I got to the character creation screen. It was a bit laggy, but I thought "Hey, it'll probably go away in-game". So I slowly made a character, went in, and was greeted with one of the worst online lag times ever in the tutorial district. Running is a painful frame by frame process in which I cannot do much and driving is so laggy that I can't even steer right.

I go into the options and find that graphics are already on minimum. Is my computer really so outdated that this free Steam game can't take it? Is it my internet connection (which serves me well on other online games?)

No it's the game. You have to deal with it, expecially if you have a computer that can't withstand the game (not talking bout yours)

Well...then it's a game not quite worth dealing with. If I can't AIM, I can't play, can I? I realize cars are commanded to move by the server (or something...I got that knowledge from the FAQ), but it's unplayable. All of it.
