Agreed. The CLOD official vram specs are 512 minimum and 1gb recommended. But everything I've read says those aren't cutting it for the resolutions and eye-candy that guys want to play this game at. So if not, why isn't DX texture compression in the game so they can? It doesn't make any sense to me why they would exclude it, unless maybe it made the game really horrible to look at. If that is the case, they should have told us that we need 2gb cards. Those cards are high end, not the norm, but at least we are dealing in reality.

Anyway, the post above, I wasn't expecting to use my current 256 mb card for this game. I simply wanted to do fps benchmark, so I forced off all the card settings, stripped down the config.ini and lowered the resolution so that vram wouldn't cap out during the runs.

"Put away till fixed"

Played the entire British "SCRIPTED" Campaign. Wasn't very exciting. Haven t played the Luftwaffe yet. Got turned off after the very 1st mission is bugged.

And so what else is there to do? FMB? Not particularly interested in that at all, So that soughta really leaves the Quick Missions. Which at the end of the day get boring very fast.

I do love the game FOR WHAT it could be, but at its present stage there REALLY isn't anything to continue with is there?

I hate to bring it up. But the DCG that IL2 gave the game a longevity. Every mission was different and you played till you're death or the war ended.. AWESOME!! CoD ...VERY Boxed!

Disappointed

What kind of masochist votes like this?

"I'm playing it and not enjoying it because of the flaws "

I cry foul on this one, you must be enjoying something if you are playing it!

It's not a chore it's a game if you don't like it don't play it. :rolleyes:

to many things dont work or are missing.
ill revisit the game in a couple months mabey things will have improved by then.

Good poll (finally), thanks. Lots of work to be done but I'm not as pessimistic as some: Playing and enjoying it, despite the flaws.

+10

Not necessarily - I would have chosen this if I was still testing settings and tweaking without being able to actually 'play'.

It's probably got more to do with my bad wording of it...

It's for peope who play it, get frustrated and play something else, I hope most people know what I meant.

The problem with this game is the flashes of brilliance!

I get a little annoyed by the lack of some features, overall it runs pretty smooth for me, I'm waiting for the campaign to get fixed and to be able to loadout my planes and command wingmen, plus for the MP to work smoothly..

Problem stopping me from putting it away is the moments like I had just now, up against a pack of unsupported bombers, diving down on one, must have hit his fuel tank - he explodes in front of me I then swoop out of the dive and have to break sharply to avoid hitting a piece of his smoking fuselage at it tumbles past my wing... very cool! I then flew into flack and watched another bomber take a direct hit from flack right in front of me - blew him to pieces!

This is of course balanced by all the sorties i empty all my ammo into the back of a bomber and it flys on happily, Oh how i wish we could land and rearm!

So yeah, annoyingly addictive! I cant wait for it to be fixed!

Some of us are effectively acting as unpaid beta testers, finding bugs, investigating them, posting our findings in the appropriate forum and hoping that this will result in a fix from the devs.

This isn't "fun" in the sense that flying IL2 would be fun. It's more like some kind of community service work. It's worth doing, because it may help the game get better faster, but it's certainly not instantly gratifying.
