yep total user error on this one


its a given that you need a more than just an awesome system to even look at this game, like flight sims and joysticks go together like babies and pacifiers . . .


also don't just upgrade your system, get a new one loaded up bells and whistles with lots of meat and bones . . . and with Win 7 . . . don't fall for the sales ninja, "I'll throw in vista and office 2010 for 50 bucks works just like win 7 . . ."

Windows XP is a 10 year old operating system.

That's like using Windows 95 in 2005. :eek:

So now the problem is Windows XP and not the game at all???

I like how you guys move the problems to something else...

So what, you think a new game should be designed for an obsolete, dare I say dinosaur of an OS?
Really, what's more laughable than that?
Next try running you Chevy cavalier at the indy 500...

Try playing Battlefield 3 on that rig and see what happens, or Metro 2033, or Crysis, or Microsoft flight, or ......?


Not everything is CloD`s fault.

Why do people expect computers / hardware +5 years old to run things properly with todays games. If the latest games could be run back then i'm sure they would have.

dont go down that route since i can play those games fine and clod wont get a decent performance by all means

so i guess cuz xp is a dinosaur OS and win Vista is newer OS it should automatically be better and all users should have migrated towards Vista cuz Xp is a dinosaur....sorry just cuz XP is a dinosaur dosent mean it is no good....the only thing XP might not do as well is handle new technology...up untill recently most games wouldnt even use more than 2 cores properly...although i agree that the user was a bit foolhardy thinking it would run on his system...

When I run the game in DirectX 9 I get half the frame rate and nasty artifacts... They really should drop the Dx9 support which seems to be the problem to get running well for them. Others like DCS A-10 that run on Dx9 does it great but in this case I feel that they are wasting their resources on that... It may be that there are more people in Russia still on XP so they would loose to much potential customers there?

Anyway, if XP would have gotten Dx10 and 11 I'm pretty sure it would have outperformed Windows 7 with a percent or two in titles that are not heavily multithreaded (which few are). Less HAL and other stability improving stuff is always good for raw performance...

you don't have any knowledge how an OS works. :rolleyes:
