I think he was meaning the way the aircraft was disassembled by the AA:cool:

Doh:grin:

Any changes to your install?
Windows update, new graphics driver etc?
Even uninstalling something.

At work we see the craziest crashes due to these.
The last one being no registry settings changed when updating from an existing install of an application.
But installed fresh all was well.

No amount of uninstalling and cleaning teh registry helped.
So we just copied it over and all's well.

Yus, thanks. You too albx.

So, perhaps we can look forward to even better things. Perhaps come the day I'll be able to run 'Very High', maxed out, etc.

Meantime I seem to be one of the luckier ones. Perhaps because of my only having 'High' settings.

Your MP sound works because you turned off forest. Strange bug...:confused:

Perhaps true, but you know what? I'd pay £100/$160 or perhaps more for a combat sim that delivers everything CoD/SoW was supposed to (and still may).

After all, I spent ten times that much on a new rig just to get it to deliver on CoD's promises (and better FSX etc). It would be daft to resent paying a significant price to actually get the software. One of the ironies is that people are prepared to pay so much for hardware but perhaps not the software. These aren't console games although the same market price is targeted. The developer's quandary is trying to meet high-end expectations with a low wide-market price and trying to make it all things to all men in order to make sales. Many console players want £30 max and low play-realism because anything else is too hard to learn and will lose their attention pretty quickly anyway. Some of the rest of us want high fidelity and will dedicate our time to it because quick-fix console games aren't what we're looking for.

In the full blown professional simulation world the software is a huge cost and a large percentage of the overall. 'Game' simulation isn't in the same bracket but we seem to expect top-notch simulation, as far as is possible on a PC, for the price of a console game.

In fact, and by popular agreement in many threads here, this simulation is much deeper than a simple console game, many of which appear to re-gurgitate the same core software for further cost recovery. If a narrow world of, say, 5,000+ hard core simmers worldwide were prepared to pay £300 for a fantastic combat simulation the market might still be attractive to more developers. At the current price they need to sell over 50,000 copies for the same return (which I know copuld still happen). I have no idea how large the market is in copy sales so perhaps the sweet spot is somewhere else.

Would I pay £300? Possibly, if it was everything I wanted it to be and it would sit comfortably alongside my hardware investment. And yes, that would make it another market altogether.

Who else expected CoD to be at least £50? I did.

At the risk of hogging the thread...

I didn't now that Editor, thanks. I'll pass it on.

I've played a few games today and I didn't suffer the MP sound bug. The only difference being that I found a local server with a ping of about 90ms, instead of several hundred.

I wonder if that could have anything to do with it?

Hi Doc,

I too have a mondo rig. It's one of the best you could build at the time of COD's release. I have also been complaining about 4 performance issues that have appeared only after 2 patch realeses ago. I even spoke with Luth dog and he said I shouldn't have any problems running everything on high.

1) stutters near land or when looking in it's direction
2) FPS hit in the 20% range where originally I had a surplus.
3) Anti Alaising doesn't work
4) Deteriorating performance if multiple missions are played.

Again, I wouldn't mind these issues if it was stated that they are working to improve them. However, there has been no mention of these on the "to do" list.

I'm just worried they have given up on the performance issues and are assuming that they no longer exist except for the "minor performance" issues stated to be resolved in a few months time.

Gollum:confused:

Yes, that is what the Video was about and showing. Thanks!

On my rig I went to Windows 7 Basic on the desktop and that help the performance of all my flight sim's.
