Well from what i read, about new patch, it just addresses performance issues
I hope im wrong:(

Can´t play the game full stop. Missions don´t load, clicking certain buttons causes hard crashes (this seems to be quite erratic too), and if a mission loads the performance is abysmal. How this got out into the market is beyond me. They say Arma was broken at release, but compared to this, it was highly polished.

Somewhat disappointed, 1C

Well, maybe you can post your system specs instead. "I just can't play.."

Perhaps there are some things you can do when we know your configuration.

maby if you care to look through these forums you will find my Specs
Anyways i can now play

and this is what i did to get mine to work
I did a clean install of steam and Cod, then did this
And these are from other members, so i dont take no credit for them

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist
Reinstall everything in that folder direct x, net framwork4, and anything else
and i then did this
Go to 'conf.ini' and change 'Render=D3D10_0' to 'Render=D3D9_0
Then i restarted my computer, and the rest is history, i was in
performance isnt great, but im sure the patches will sort that out..

It has nothing to do with the configuration. The simulation is just not finished yet.

I'm not happy that my 7950 GX2 isn't supported. It's a 1gb card. I'm running XP so I'm limited to DX9, anyway. I just get the splash screen, then nothing. Maybe there's a technical reason not to support 7-series cards, but it's very disappointing.

I've only got it running twice :-(

I usually see the desktop only.

I am managing to play with decent frame rates over land and sea now (80+ fps over sea sometimes), with few stutters. The trick for me was to simply select the lower screen resolution from the GUI. It means I now have a letterbox screen, but that's fine with me if it means I can play the game. I'm hoping the patch will allow me to revert to max screen res, but we'll see ;)

This is/is going to be such a great game. It's such a shame it launched with such problems. Not the birth Oleg was looking forward to, I'm sure.

I can play but I have to lower the resolution to 2400x600 (800x600 x3 monitors) and then the game looks horrible

If I set the resolution to my usual 3840x1024 (1280x1024 x3) the game runs as a very fast slideshow, even on low settings

(For comparison: I can run Rise of Flight at 3840x1024 with medium-high settings and everything works fine)

The whole thing just stinks. Oleg is deafening by his silence.

if you had paid attention prior to release time you would know why

a fixed release date was only announced about one month prior to the recent russian release date. oleg around the same time was voicing his frustration and distaste at the way business priorities (which must have been his project funders, ubi) were making release decisions in complete disregard of the development stage the programming team was at (ie they still hadnt finished optimizing the game and were still bug fixing)

at the time many optimists (including myself) thought we might just have some bugs with some objects like planes and issues with dynamic weather being unfinished (and a lack of optimized anti epilepsy filter as it soon became apparent). once released however in the last few weeks we can clearly see they needed more time on some major other issues, probably a couple of months at least (aside from the anti epilepsy filter). blaming oleg for releasing it in that condition doesnt make sense, in fact the way SH5 was released unfinished by ubi, and never fixed btw, you can thank your lucky stars that oleg and his team will keep trying to fix BoB/SoW for the coming months until it works right. not many ubi products have such a dedicated team behind them and can say the same.

then again you might be a gen Y who believes milk is made in the supermarket factory and just crying for something you want will instantly put a cosmic tit in your mouth to feed you

in the real world however, unless you have a couple of million to put into this for development money (which as a gen Y you probably think "somebody else should do"), you are entirely dependent on oleg's professionalism and dedication to try and make the best of a very difficult release schedule controlled by ubi. when you express your frustration, at least direct it at the right target. under the less then ideal release situation another alternative would have been to make it a public beta (like DCS did with their A10 sim recently), ubi sales drones however in their ignorance would have seen that as a public confirmation they were releasing unfinished and incomplete products (which would affect their sales image for other games), so in their predictable stupidity they decided instead to release another unfinished product (like silent hunter 5 and a few others) and simply pretend nothing was wrong.

uh... OK, im the new guy, here, not trying to tell anyone what to do but... wouldnt it be much better if we just ignored pointless whining instead of responding with personal attacks? Just wondering...

agreed :)

the constant negativity towards oleg and Co gets a bit tiring after a while, most of it is misplaced (or in tree-uk's case deliberate)

the release was premature, sure, but it is ubi's mess. oleg is the one who will be left to fix it and solve the problems, attacking and blaming him makes no sense and just compounds the problem

After many many many crashes the program only once managed to let me fly for a few seconds whohoo ...then it crashed big time (the game and the plane).
Biggest problem is it's a steam game so I cannot even complain that the game is on my bookshelf gathering dust waiting for a decent patch or two.

Have you actually purchased this game yet Zap, last I heard is that despite all the Oleg licking you've been doing you still refused to buy the game. Oh and just to let you know Oleg is long gone, over a year and a half ago according to Jason at 777.

P.S what did those grubby shorts of yours taste like??

I can't play at all. As soon as gameplay starts he game minimizes and I can't open it up from the tab at the bottom of the screen.

Can't see where all those problems come from.. i can run it propely without major issues (performances).
You just need the right PC to run it...
try to run i.e. modern warfare 2 on a PIII 300Mhz... you think it'll run ??? :rolleyes:

I can play until i lose the sound. Which usually happens within a 10-15 minutes.
