Looking to get CloD for my brother for xmas in the US. A boxed version for cheap. Any chance it will go on sale anywhere?

[Troll2k]

The collector's edition is not available in the USA.

The boxed DVD is only a Steam install.You still have to d/l the game.The game is not on the DVD.There is no paper manual.The manual is a PDF within the game directory.

Download only i think.

[Verhängnis]

Such low prices are such an insult to a great product and the developers. Many many years of hard core development, writing their own graphics and flight modelling engine and with high detail and realism modelled, with no competitors and all they get for their hard work is about $15. I payed Aus $100 and despite it's state, it was worth every dollar, cent and decimal. :( It's stupid when 1-2 year old games are still 2-3 times more expensive...

[SturmKreator]

I will buy it tomorrow :) ty for the advice

[ACE-OF-ACES]

Got an email this morning, showing the next sale for CoD.

GetGames will be selling it for 80% off between 12/24-12/26. For 10 bucks, who cares if it has everything, it's very playable for that price!

http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dovershoot.. I really need a DVD version.. I hate having to depend on STEAM each time I do a PC cleanup and clean installs.. Anyone know where I can get a DVD version of CoD?

[HR_Naglfar]

shoot.. I really need a DVD version.. I hate having to depend on STEAM each time I do a PC cleanup and clean installs.. Anyone know where I can get a DVD version of CoD?

A DVD version will only install steam in your PC and put CoD to download :mrgreen:

[addman]

LOL! That's true, I was so surprised on launch day when I was installing from the DVD version. Basically the disc just checked if I had steam installed -which I had- and then proceeded to download something. At first I thought it was some kind of patch that I needed to install the game but when I saw that the "patch" was over 4GB I was like "whaaat??!!". Only thing on the disc is Steam basically. No reason to buy the DVD version other than for collecting purposes. :)

P.S ALL my other DVD steam activated game are on their actual respective discs, CloD was the first I've had to have this way of installation.

[ACE-OF-ACES]

Freacon STEAM! :mad:

[addman]

Freacon STEAM! :mad:

It's not Steams fault AoA, for example I have the games Skyrim and Empire Total war on DVD. Both of those games installs from the DVD but they activate through steam and update through steam, the best thing though is that if your DVD breaks for some reason, you can still install your game by download from Steam. It's a great system, you're provided with game updates automatically and you can install your game(s) on multiple computers.

Problem wasn't steam, problem was that the publisher (ubisoft and 1c) for some unknown and stupid reason decided to release a steam activated game DVD without the actual game on it, don't ask me why because it's the first game I've heard of to do this.

[Gamekeeper]

shoot.. I really need a DVD version.. I hate having to depend on STEAM each time I do a PC cleanup and clean installs.. Anyone know where I can get a DVD version of CoD?

Make your own DVD! Backup and restore game (http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=112:backup-and-restore-game&catid=66:patching&Itemid=156)

Oh snap! Didn't know that, I took for granted that it would install of the DVD primarily like my other steam activated games, oh well silly me.

[Foo'bar]

Freacon STEAM! :mad:

Once you've installed CloD you just have to backup your "\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.

After you've set up a new rig you just have to download and install steam. Then put your backed up "\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" back to where it belongs and you're done.

Things are easy. Really.

No need to buy a DVD version.

[ACE-OF-ACES]

Like I said.. Frecon STEAM! :cool:

[Al Capwn]

You guys do realize that steam has a very nice backup function built in, right? Right click on your game -> Backup game files, choose your compression and it'll create a self installing .exe for you that you can backup to a dvd, multiple cds, NAS, you name it. You can even backup multiple games into the same .exe if you feel like it. Just a thought.

[ACE-OF-ACES]

Make your own DVD!

Thanks guys!

But I was not looking for a backup.. I back it up like Foobar said.. When I do a PC cleanup.. That is after a year or so things get so messy.. Or if I am having issues that no one else seems to be having.. Than I re-format the drive and reinstall the OS and do a clean install of all the games.. You know to do the registry and all that goes with it. A truly clean slate ;)

[Flanker35M]

S!

Still DVDs around here in the local game store Aces...

A steam backup still helps you there. They call it a "backup" but it's basically a fresh install.

[Tvrdi]

after Luthier said they will not work on new planes for CLOD I would say 10 bucks is too much for this unoptimized unfinished (and wont be finished) ****

[SturmKreator]

I think the same, for that reason and because I have not a high end pc, never buy the game before.

[Sokol1]

You know to do the registry and all that goes with it.

Like 1946 CloD dont write files in registry, you can copy the install folder to another
partition or PC and execute then without problem.

In end DVD is almost useless, since they come with obsolete install version and need to download big updates.

BTW - Getsgamego now list CLoD for 49,99$...

but in a couple of hours should show the new price, or not?
In many sectors of US still is 23 december

[ramstein]

still is not shwoing a sale on cod..

[Robert]

It's up now.

I'm tempted, but with about 88kbs per second download speed this'll take a while to download. Anyone know how big the file for CoD is?

[ramstein]

it will not accept USA adresses.. even though it's a download... I thought there was a way to get around this,, just give a bogus address of another country? but what about the credit card matching the adress even though it's email delivery?

[David198502]

The game IS on the dvd..
You must abort the steam donload
and the it installs from dvd

can confirm that.it will install the whole game,except the patches of course which will then get donwloaded by steam.


im off to my family now.happy xmas to everyone.

[Robert]

Oh, I'm in the U.S. too. I won't bother then. My PC is minimal and with the fiasco I experienced with GoGamer/Amazon and Steam with my original purchase I'm not going to muck about trying to get it to down load and work..... even at less than ten dollars.

[ramstein]

I got it working great, I just used PayPal..... No problem, it immediately sent me the info and link as soon as I hit pay and verified my e-mail,,

note: their download server is pretty dam slow,, but for $10.00 USD

woohoo!

[Robert]

do you know how fast it's downloading ramstein? As mentioned I download @ 88kbs. S L O W.

I looked and saw the file is over 4 GB. Huge for someone with a slow download speed. It's the main reason I prefer disc to download.

update: it's hauling butt right now,, been for a while..
@ 344 kb/sec.

this was for the first 3 hours, then my update shows it really picked up speed after that...
======================
it's miserably slow... if I say how slow I might scare some people off...
I will give them a couple more hours and maybe report back the speed, just to give it a chance to speed up.. but then again, it's Xmas over across the pond in a few hours and they will have to pass out from the drinks and maybe the sever will either blow up or speed up.. or both..

[Sokol1]

You not need to download from Getgames server, just use serial and install from STEAM.

Thanks :)

evenif it did ask, I put I live int he usa, and paypal has my usa address.. I am just so tired I can't remember..
I tried a credit card first and it rejected the USA...
so I switchedd to paypal on payment and it flew through the process..

paypal not only needs and address, but it must be a verified address,, there is a difference..
I can't tell you anything else because I don't know anythign else,, been up since early , and am very tired, brain is fried..

I've been sinking most of my time into DCS A10 (and just got the Warthog HOTAS as a Christmas present to myself) but I've been anxious to try something new.

[5./JG27.Farber]

Sweet!

[notafinger!]

It wouldn't let me do a credit card either in the US but paypal went through without a problem. Took the key from the email and activated it in Steam. Steam says the key is for the EMEA version, is that only English version or was there another for North America?

[too-cool]

They drop the price, talking a sequel that you may or may not be required to pay for and that will supposedly have fixed all the problem with the original game. I don't care what you guys say about this game, it was sold screwed up and it's still screw up and they are already talking about a sequel before this version is fixed? A sequel is a continuation of a prior event or in this case game, it adds new content if you will, it's not a repair for the previous version. I for one won't pay for a sequel to this game until they make this game do what was promised in their advertising of this game. To think in April I paid nearly $60 USD for this game, billed as the best flight sim ever and 9mos later they are selling it for under $10 USD. I will not say we've been rip-off or we've been screwed, I'll say we've been XXXX. TC

Not only that but Too-cool has a nice system and should be able to run the game pretty smooth at the highest settings.

[Flanker35M]

S!

Maybe he will after the GFX patch. As Luthier stated in one reply, now buried in here somewhere, there was some old code that caused Launcher.exe problems etc. And that Luthier's team has been working to rewrite the GFX engine is another good thing.

So let's say if the patch fixes the performance of this game then we are already a long step ahead. Playable and smooth is a big issue for many players. And do not forget Luthier's team is building the sequel on this engine so it is a FIX for CoD and a good base for BoM :) Agree?

I've been playing other games while waiting for the patch coming some day. Ranting and venting here sure does not speed it up :D

A temporal offer from a shop has nothing to do with Ubisoft nor 1C. So "they" do not drop the price.

What are those features promised in their advertising that the game doesn't do? And I mean real advertising, not rumours.

I play it in a 6 year old PC, with barely 10fps, I'm very conscious of the problems that the game have. And for me it is the best flight sim ever, and it'll be even better in the future.

It's very sad that you can't enjoy it with that PC of your sig. Very sad, really.

The specs in my sig. was purchased after the fact, the machine I originally own was a Gateway FX510 (Q6600 2.4Mhz cpu, 4gb memory, 500gb hd SB sound card (gamers) nvidia 7600GT 512 mb and a 19" crt monitor) purchase more than 6 yrs ago and it gave pretty much the same result as you post here and no I was not satisfied with the performance on that machine.

Q6600 more than 6 years ago? :rolleyes:

Well, I have an Athlon 64 3500+ (below minimum specs), 2Gb RAM and a 9600GT 512mb (only thing newer than 6 years). So yeah... I'm satisfied with the performance in my old PC.

Anything about those promised things that the game doesn't do?

[Insuber]

That's close to being right, I got a Q6600 in Feb, 2007, and it was not the top-of-the-line cpu by then (I think 1 grade under the highest Intel chip at that point). Regardless, it was a long time ago...

Look I'm not here to get into a pissing contest with you, you're satisfied with the state of Cod as released I'm not, lets leave it at that.

Everybody who played a flight sim (or almost any other state-of-the-art game) and doesn't know that the minimum specs aren't worth the paper they are printed on, needs a reality check, imo.

[HR_Naglfar]

How about not being able to run using the min specs advertised, look no further then your system, Oh I forgot you are satisfied with how the game run on your system I wasn't. but then again look at the posts (all post) on this forum sense the release of this game, then you tell us what has this game delivered except expectation of things to come hows that for those promised things that the game doesn't do not to mention being playable.

My system doesn't meet the minimum specs advertised. And I never talked about the state of the game as released, I was talking about the state of the game right now.

For me It's a very very good sim (that needs fixes, of course) and it's enjoyable even at 10fps. It's a shame that you can't enjoy it, simply that.

I'll ask again... What are those promised things that the game doesn't do? Promised in the advertising, not rumours.

Anyway this is totally off topic, so I'll leave the discussion here.


That's 5 years now, minus a few days. Still pretty damn old system.

Then my PC is almost 7 years old :mrgreen:

For me It's a very very good sim (that needs fixes, of course) and it's enjoyable even at 10fps. It's a shame that you can't enjoy it, simply that.

I'll ask again... What are those promised things that the game doesn't do? Promised in the advertising, not rumours.

Anyway this is totally off topic, so I'll leave the discussion here.




Then my PC is almost 7 years old :mrgreen:
Well please look back at my original post on this matter, I was talking about the initial release, so now by your own admission you appear to be the type who makes comments on subjects with out having and understanding of what the subject matter is about. If you consider this game as being good because you are able to run it at 10fps I think I need to get me a machine like yours. As far as what was promised, look at the min specs advisited to run this game when release and then I as you aside from yourself who else thinks this game delivered what was promised/implied aside from your self. I leave it at that. TC

[Avala]

Everybody who played a flight sim (or almost any other state-of-the-art game) and doesn't know that the minimum specs aren't worth the paper they are printed on, needs a reality check, imo.

Why would anyone lied about minimum specs, as you are suggesting, (and thus accusing 1C for lying)? And why would anyone believe in such lie?

If you really believe what you have wrote here, you are the one who needs reality check, and possibly specialist help.

Believing in lies, or take the lies as normal (like you did in your post), and especially believing that the other people believe in the same lies or delusions as you, tells much about person's psychological and mind frame and person's inner world.

Of course, I grant that you could just not expressed yourself precisely :)

I suggest the book "Political Ponerology" by the late Polish psychologist Andrew M. Lobaczewski on that mater.

Minimum specifications usually means that you will play the game, but not with all of its features and graphic quality. When Clod was released it wasn't playable even with the highest official specifications.


I believe that specifications given by 1C was true at the time, and that along the way something went wrong/ or someone didn't do his job. Also I believe that this game (yes its game actually) will be OK and shine again in few months.

Meanwhile, reality says that this game still is not finished, and not OK.

[zwiebacksaege]

for me the whole forum becomes very suspicous in the last time. all my threads concerning my dissatisfaction with the game are deleted as they don't fit in the vision of some people. if you censor everyone whos not praising this "game" then you don't even need a forum. its rediculous and youre wiping out the former fans of this sim and you lose customers for your next sims.

[robtek]

Constructive criticism wasn't deleted/censored here.
And, this forum is for fans or wannabe fans and people who hope this sim will succeed, if you left this community, don't whine here.

Before you start calling people liars you should read your own statements. What you said there is a lie in itself. COD was playable at release, I played it from day one on the PC in my specs.

Did I have stella performance? No, but long before release the Oleg stated that the sim would be unplayable on maximum settings on current hardware and if I remember rightly that medium setting were what we should be expecting to play on at release. But still some people got the sim, put all the slide to Max and then started complaining about performance issues.

Go figure!

Did Oleg say that before the 2006 release date? Or maybe the 2008 one?

Definately before the 2011 release date. :)

I agree, I played it from the start on:

i7 920 2.67Ghz
2GB RAM
NVidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB
Win XP

The processor ain't bad but the graphics card and memory are pretty low spec compared to most of you guys. Not perfect but very enjoyable experience all the same. The crashes are annoying I admit but I know they'll address that in the near furture.

They've given me a taste of what they're aiming for and it's definitely something worth the wait. It'll be a kick ass sim just like IL2 given a little time and patience. Remember...good things come to those who wait.:grin:

[ATAG_MajorBorris]

Ok these are examples not quotes, rant/ton o text below.

Playable is very subjective. Some ppl are fine with 10fps others need 60fps and comparring Cod to a game with a big budget and two years old to CoD is unfair. Sure Mass Effect2 or whatever plays great/80 fps on all kinds of pc configs but thats completly different. Also whoever said CoD is not playable is dead wrong! maybe it doesnt play on there pc or doesnt have all the stuff IL2 does after 10 years but then they should write a letter to there pc telling it to upgrade and it sucks cuz it doesnt play todays games at max or wait 10 years and come back when CoD is "finished" oh wait they can do that with il2 now!

On the other hand there are several other games on the market today that no hardware exists to max them out, I wish more ppl would keep that in mind when they decide to tell the world not to play/buy the last realistic ww2 cfs in the world cause it doesnt play on there hardware(or maybe it does but there to lazy to fresh install there hdd or tweak there settings properly).

Also from what I have seen if you have a 32 bit OS or less then 1gb vram/4gb ram you will struggle more then others.

[MegOhm]

Yup It's Playable for 25 to 35 minutes...right up to the crash or freeze... Thats what we see in MP.. I have had flights of over an hour single player..but that is still rare. Nothing worse than working a dogfight..get the bandit in your gunsight...about to pull the trigger and BAM! Freeze/Crash...

For me and our group it is MP we most enjoy...Too frustrating right now so It's shelved for now... Back to IL2 4.11 for BoB.. Maybe one day CLOD will become stable... Until then...there are many good Sims to fly

Sure would be nice to get another Friday update...been almost a month..At least tell us of any progress on the launcher error... That is the game killer

troll, thanks for the tip

i grabbed one for myself (tired of doing the russian dll shuffle at each patch), and told a few other people who still had been sitting on the fence,

at 14.99$ cant really go wrong, and good to support the ongoing work being done in the patch fixing

[NervousEnergy]

If 1C (or Ubisoft... or whoever the publisher is) would release a 'version 2' of the Collectors Edition once the next major patch is out and go back on a marketing blitz, especially in the US, I'd think they'd have a good shot at pulling in some more retail numbers. Send the patched, updated code out to all the US review sites, advertise, sponsor a few events, advertise some more, etc.

I'd like the sim to put up better sales numbers, and I'd like the chance to own a copy of the collectors edition without importing it from Europe.

Man, oh man - I had been on the fence ever since release from reading the forums - had enjoyed IL2 1946 immensely, and IL2 FB with PF before that, but had taken a break from it even for the past year , finally got the itch and reading up seemed like it was at least improved somewhat since original release, and apparently a big graphics udpate coming that sounds like will improve performance drastically. So I finally decided it was time, and just purchased it direct from Steam at full price, about 2 days ago.
I sure wish I had gotten the itch again and checked this out a couple of weeks sooner, this would have been a sweet deal!
Just my luck though, things like that seem to always happen to me...

Amazon.co.uk have CloD for £14.99 plus £2.03 shipping.

Ordered!

Arrived today (31.3.2012): I'm not 100% impressed with that speed of delivery, but it'll do.

[Hippy Druid]

I just bought Clod for 9.99 Pound Sterling at the UK GAME site: http://www.game.co.uk/en/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover-159279

They sent me an email, with the serial key, which unlocked without any fuss on my steam account. Yes I am currently playing Clod!!
I'm located in Australia, so after conversion and exchange fees it worked out to be approximately $17AU. A far cry from the $49.99 asking price on steam for us Aussies.

Hippy.

Great hit mate! I bought today for £4.99 / €6 (in Italy) but no activation yet.. just order confirmed..
how long did you wait for the serial?
Thanks so much!!

Yep it's been reduced to £4.99! I just paid £10 or $17 CDN. Have only spent a couple of hours with it but not that impressed due to occasionally stuttering (fps is over 60 though).

I've gone back to IL-2 1946 with UP3/DBW mods and loving it.

Hopefully the next patch will improve CloD (heard that before right!?)

[simast]

Just bought for £4.99 as well, quite a deal! Haven't received the key yet but I don't blame them since it's the weekend.

I confess, that upcoming patch got me interested.

Simast, did you get your code yet!? If so how is the game running for you?

[Marder]

I bought the CE on amazon.de for 20€ incl. shipping!
Steam is down now, though.

[Grifo]

Simast, did you get your code yet!? If so how is the game running for you?

£4.99.. Activated and perfectly working! Now just waiting for the patch and it will be like a dream .. Never had this luck in my life ;)

[simast]

Simast, did you get your code yet!? If so how is the game running for you?

I did yes - it took them 3 days. The game activated on Steam without problems. However I can't seem to find CoD on game.co.uk anymore, so I would assume the deal has ended.

As for how it is running. I have GeForce 460 GTX 1Mb. I think it is a medium-range card by now? Anyway, I had to lower some land related settings and I can run at ~40 fps with some lock-ups and shuttering. They did mentioned they fixed (or at least tried) to fix those performance issues in the next patch.

It was definitively worth the £4.99 price. I got some really good looking cockpits with tons of buttons to press. And the multiplayer is a blast :)

[Sternjaeger II]

apparently I managed to draw in another friend who might be interested! Any other place where to get CoD cheap? The Game one seems to have gone :(

I believe it requires Steamworks so no matter where you buy it, you will be using Steam. I bought it from getgamesgo and received an activation code which I just entered into Steam and now it is forever in my Steam library.

Yes, same here, I was just thinking of changing to the english version from the original 1C DVD. Anyway, COD is region-protected on Steam. Now I'm looking for english maddox.dll.

I bought my copy of the game from getgamesgo.com. Their super legit, very good and fast customer service too. I got the game for $15, and it was a European only special, but they allowed me to get the deal anyways after a few emails even though I live in the U.S.

I just bought this from the UBI store.

The collectors edition, for £18.77 including shipping. Seemed a good deal to me.

[Madfish]

Just letting you guys know: IL-2 Cliffs of Dover is now being sold for 9.99€ regulary on the EU Steamstore. It's £9.99 for the UK and still 29 $ for the US.

First time I've seen a game being sold cheaper around here though, so they might adjust the price soon and it'll be, like always, 9,99$. Right now it's still 29$.

Before this price change it was 49,9€ here in the EU. So if you're from the EU and you've been holding back just because of the price - now is the time to get it.

[Troll2k]

I just got an email(8-24-12) from Getgamesgo that Clod was on sale for $12.49.I have seen it a little cheaper from them in the past.($9.99)

It says not for North America but people in North America have bought it from them and used the code to d/l from Steam and not from the site.Steam seems to have faster servers.

http://getgamesgo.com/product/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover

After checking Justflight, they also have it for $12.49.

http://justflight.com/product/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover

The two sites seem to be related.Or at least use the same checkout software.

not for the collectors edition iirc

the download version from various retailers has been on sale a number of times, but a boxed collectors edition i havnt seen at that price

given its on sale now at ubi itself, would seem to me that BoM release might be sooner that some believe, or they have a warehouse full of these boxes maybe (which means it will be the last time that a long requested special edition of the il2 series will be created due to the current low sales).
