Sorry.. I didn't mean to imply that some PCs are not experancing crashes.. What with all the variations in hardware and software these days I am not suprised at all.. What I did say is 'some' PCs are not experancing crashes.. Which to me means, CoD is now tasked to find out what is specific about those PCs that is making CoD crash.. Hence the dump files section in this forum

I'm running of a two year old system (specs in signature) and don't have the crashes. It's running as smoothly as IL2 online. (uses to stutter badly in IL2 especially when there was any Flak!)

Cheers!

I just don't get it. I have a system similar to yours but 3.6 ghz, more ram (6gig) and a later video card GTX 580 and mine stutters like mad and has poor fps whenever it gets the slightest bit busy. Fps tanks over London and whenever I start destroting prey with my guns.

I agree that it has to, but thinking realistically how can it be even possible in the real world? Luthier - 1C, Oleg - 1C, 1C - UBI contracts all have/had non-disclosure clauses. Luthier mentioned in March or April something like please do not ask me questions answering which would get me fired the next morning. Yes, theoretically UBI could announce it as beta but we do not know if retailers or Steam would accept a beta. Thus it probably was a "stop-loss" decision to release it as it is (having an alternative to shut the project down completely).

My understanding is that new engine with too many features, too much detail and new technology exponentially increased workload and required resources which was not accounted for because no one attempted similar titanic projects in the past. (Think about why none of studios in more technologically and financially developed western countries never created anything comparable in complexity and detail in air- or even land- or sea-sims.)

Oleg accepted that he made several mistakes in the beginning of development trying to make a perfect product.

There is nothing we can do about this reality besides investing more money in MG, or applying for job with MG if we are good, or advertising CloD to friends and online buddies on other forums, or encouraging the team to overcome difficulties with our support, trust, positive and constructive attitude on the forums. Luthier said in March that they need our support and trust to break through (as they have to fight for continuation of financing by publishers I think. Oleg mentioned on his Youtube channel last spring just after the release "... if they allow the team to finish...") .

Psychologically people often feel better when publicly blaming others, busting and bitching. Internet forums is a perfect place for this. People are not stupid not to realise that their bitching discourages the team, newcomers and even investors/publishers who read these forums, therefore harming further development of the product, but keep doing it because it makes them feel better. Perfectly understandable. I did it several times on sukhoi.ru forums too.

PS. If you want continued support for the series, please help the devs every day in proving to publishers that this is a great product worth continuing investing. If you do not what further development but just a revenge you can do the opposite and be happy when the project is shut down coming here to say "I told you that it was crap!".

Thanks Skoshi and Chivas,

I don't have crashes either, but the stuttering is intermittent and persistent where ever I fly. FPS are brutal over cities and I also have my peripherals on another drive. Funny thing is, I try turning things down and it doesn't make much difference. I will wait to see what the next patch gives us.

Until the sim is better optimized your going to need a very clean fast system to experience less problems other than feature issues.

SSD's aren't that expensive anymore. You can easily pick one up under a hundred dollars.

Unfortunately combat flight sims have always required high end systems if you want to run it with all the bells and whistles turned on.
