I am canceling my pre-order (from Steam)
 

Given the recent news, I highly suspect now that the game wont run playable on my computer, and I cannot stand jerky games. I will think about this till next Monday, but I think I will cancel my pre-order with Steam and see if these problems will be fixed in time. Maybe I will buy it later when these issues have been fixed and/or after reading some positive reviews of the game.

Before canceling the game, if someone could comment on the possible playability of CoD with the specs I have in my computer?

Gigabyte motherboard (cannot remember which)
12GB Ram
Win-7 64bit
Intel Core i7 Quad 920 2.66GHz processor
Asus Ati Radeon 5850 1GB DX 11 graphics card

you wil be fine mate....btw u can push this 920 to 3.3 GhZ on stock voltage.....ofcourse I would recomend GPU upgrade soon....CPU is just fine.....maybe GTX560 or 5970 if your with ATI/AMD...no worries

To be honest mate, with that spec of machine I doubt if you would even have enough power to click on the desktop icon.

I would forget all about it boss, how about Boxworld?

What news?

Thanks for your reply. I don't really know much about computers so... Do you mean by GPU, graphics card?

one more question, how can I push the 920 to 3.3 GhZ, is it a software that came with Gigabyte motherboard or something else?

Thanks alot, I guess I won't cancel the preorder then.

The news about the epilepsy filter that kills the fps of the game on any machine (according to this forum).

Well, if you couldn't run this game properly then I don't know what would I do with it with my spec (and perhaps many other too) ... But I'll still give it a go.

I also have 920 and when I first tried to overclock it i got up to 3.4ghz with stock cooler and no problems. Then I got hungry for 4ghz mark and bought aftermarket cooler (Noctua NH-D14) and run it 4.1ghz on daily bases and all that with 75eur aircooler. You overclock it from bios. Just google I7 920 overclocking tutorials and how to`s. Mine went to 3.99ghz with stock voltages so I just had to make few changes to bios settings to get it up to 4.1ghz.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try to overclock my 920 if CoD seems jerky. I am a bit overparanoid about these things (as I don't know much) and scared of frying my processor or something, and so far I haven't had the need to overclock as all the games runs smooth on 100% settings, but let's see how CoD runs :)

If you can't run it on your computer, then half the people on here won't be able to run it.

Yours looks fine.

I remember years ago playing a game on a 450mhz (Not ghz) pc and loving the game and the graphics, I read an article saying that a 1ghz machine would be out soon, I asked my mates, why the hell would anybody need a 1ghz machine. Now I have a quad core 3ghz machine.

Your CPU is fine.

....

Of course you will be able to run the game, don't worry at all.

With those specs, I would be surprised if you can play Minecraft.

Very funny to see the difference in comments here. Why is it that he would not be able to play old OLD games with those specs??? Seriously?

That is decent specs from a stock bought (probably in a el shop somewhere) and he will be able to run the game in lower settings.

Yes, your graphics card is a bit on the slow side mate, but still, that is an upgrade you can do.

I am myself running all recent games fairly on my rig

Wich is C2D E8400 at 3.6Ghz (yes slightly overclocked) 4 GB ram and a decent XFX Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 GPU

Works just fine on most games. Struggles a bit with high AA on DX11 games when I run them on 3x 22" screens at 5040x1050, but if we take an example of DCS Blackshark and the currently released DCS A-10C I run them just fin on medi to high settings.....

You will run this game fine on lower settings I am sure, but as with all new releases on a new engine you newer know until you try. So if you can afford the decent price on the game, give it a go. If not, then well..... Give it time. It is all up to you.

Low settings? One russian user used a similar system and had everything set to max.

That debate is about SLI/CROSSFIRE not working due to the filter (april fools day anyone?) I dont think there where anything said anywhere that it would effect ALL systems.

Ok then, so what is the issue then??

To clearify what I should have said.. He will definately be able to play the game on lower settings. Did not mean LOWEST... Anyway.... ANother re.insurance to not having to cancle pre-order on that issue.

I think that the developer team themselves admitted that it is affecting the performance on all computers. The filter works in a way that it compares a frame to the next, and if there is too much difference in brightness it will lower the difference. Obiously this kind of processing will eat cpu, as well as they had to remove also some nice VFX they had done such as the strobe of the propeller spinning fast seen from the inside of the plane.

What graphics card should I get? I want to buy something which has a good price/performance balance (meaning not the most expensive one, but a good one).

I would not buy any new component yet, wait till the dust falls down in this antiepilepsy issue.

-m

You know. I cannot tell you what to buy, but look at what I have myself. It is fairly cheap for what you get, and it is not the "newest" on anymore. It is a fair card that will let you play games for some time yet.
Depending on what you want to spend and what games you play most.

Simulators such as this one depends a lot also on the CPU for calculations, but the one you have should be ok enough for that, though it is not superbly powerful. Take a look at your local PC store, maybe talk to the people who work there and tell them what you have and what you would want, or look around the web to find a good price with a decent spec.....

nVidia vs ATI(AMD) is an old thing, if you have no preference, then pick the best for the best price. As I said, I am very happy with the card I have.

Be sure you have a powerful enough powersupply with enough cables to fit a newer card. But from what you already have in there, it should fit newer ones as well. Happy hunting.

Really easy task OverClocking from bios, mine i920 is running 3.4GHz stable, gigabyte mb too.

Kankkis

Ok i'll try that. Hopefully my stock Intel fan can handle it.

Test how it rises, you cannot broke nothing.

You must touch only one bios setting, i don't remember name but i have rised it from 133 to 170 so 20*170=3,4GHz, test first about 150 and if it stable rise it by 5 and so on.

I have my i7 at 3.8 with aftermarket cooler,wondering if 6 gig of ram will be enough

What's a safe limit for processor temperature if I monitor it on Speedfan?

i think about 85celsius. I have been about 90celsius

Kankkis

Remember that speedfan can also show un-secure temps. I would think 80 degrees, but stop the load sequence when hitting 70 and rising. It does tend to show some 10 degrees to little :)

I never use stock coolers, but that is my prefrence.

yep, if temps rising too fast, buy somethink like

http://www.overclockersclub.com/revi...tua_nhu9b_se2/

Do not use Prime95 or software like that rising temps, it's usually be enough if you can drive 3Dmark thru, warms up enough like games.

Kankkis

I use 85c as my automatic shutdown temperature. When running Prime95 it will rise to 80c and that is with case sides closed and with two OC:d Ati 5770 with coolers that don´t blow the hot air out. Normaly when gaming it is something like 75c max per core.

Showoff!

I don't actually have much knowledge on current processors / graphics cards etc.. its just a computer i bought year ago, but happy to hear that it is regarded as a topnotch one :)

And it's quite funny how he feels he'll have problems.

I also bought from steam,things arnt looking good for COD,I also am realy thinking of canceling my order from steam,BTW how do i cancel it?

Don't worry - it's not.


;)

Just cancelled my COD CE pre-order. I like IL2 for a long time and I´ve been waiting BOB/ COD for 7 years. With this kind of amateurish release and an unplayable over bugged game, why should I spend money? If they fix things properly, I will buy it. Hope they do!

I changed my mind and decided NOT to cancel, but if you do want to cancel I did some research and found this: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1117862

I think you can cancel if you do it few days before the release date of the game.

ROFLOL - you guys are great. Just great.

Sure, cancel your orders! What a fantastic way to ensure the future success of the series!

Seriously stop whining and buy the game. 50 bucks is a paltry price to pay for even a chance that this game will live up to its potential.

I am not sure how consumer laws here in EU are applicable for game products,
and I have not bought (nor played) a PC game for many many years,
but

if a game does not work as expected or promoted and if it is used in a recommended environment (a PC with recommended settings), according to consumer rights, you can demand the seller to correct the matter. Either it should be replaced with a working product or you can return it for full refund.

So I will buy the game, and if it does not work as it should, I simply demand my money back.

Pretty sure you can't cancel pre orders on steam. Let me know if you can though.

The difference in comments are because some people are being sarcastic. The OP has a decent spec PC, better than most people here, so when he questioned whether he'd be able to run the game a lot of people thought he was being ridiculous, so they thought they'd be sarcastic.

I'm not going to cancel my preorder but i should do it. I'll confirm it only because of the last 10 years spent with IL2, but what has gone here in these months has not been honest at all.

We have never seen video vith sounds, we have never seen clouds, we have never seen nothing in spite of all the our questions and now we know why. The fanboys club has given you a good chance to avoid these answers: "Hooooo is wonderfull, great, superb, amazing" ecc. ecc..

Thank Oleg Maddox if a lot of us is going to confirm his order in spite of what's going on here.

Aye, well, I am used to forums like these to be winging and hostile and so on...... Just wanted to put in some normal, asked for, answer to his question.

Cheers though mate.

I get a page load error with that link , is it correct?

12 GB Ram??? wtf
 

Why the hell you do you have 12 gb of ram? 4 gb is more than enough. As long as you have free memory while playing a game. I run rise of flight with 4 gb of ram. And I have 1,5 gb free memory when I play it. I use win 7 32 bits, wich means allso it can just read 3,6 gb of my 4 gb memory.
People with little knowledge of computers is getting lured by the companies. You have absolutely no need for 12 gb of memory. Maybe if you run virtual servers + 2 or 3 heavy programs on your computer at the same time

Steam will be bound by the consumer laws of the country you live in, no matter what they may claim. Either a cancellation or a refund should be available to you within the statutory "cooling-off period" which is (I think) 7 days in the EU.

Here's the low-down for the UK:

Buying online from shops or suppliers

The purchase of goods and services over the internet, by phone or by mail order generally is subject to the Distance Selling Regulations. One of the most important implications of these regulations is a cooling off period of 7 days during which you have the right to cancel. You must provide notice of cancellation in writing and it must be posted to, left at, faxed or emailed to the business address of the supplier, and you must ensure this is done no later than 7 working days after receipt of goods. Contracts for financial products sold by distance means are subject to different rules, see below for more on this.

Something else worth mentioning is that the supplier must have sent you written confirmation of your order no later than the time of delivery of the product or performance of the service. If they did not, then your 7 day cooling off period will not begin until they do, and may be extended by a further 3 months.

If you have commissioned a service under a distance selling contract and the work begins before the end of the 7 days cancellation period, then you must give up your right to cancel, but this must be clearly communicated and with your express agreement.

I use this computer in my music studio and I run these programs that require a lot of RAM. That's why 12GB.

Even easier would be to follow this:
http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1117862

I have successfully overclocked my Processor to run at 3150Mhz by setting Host clock frequency to 150. My processor is running hot enough that I know that I should not raise this any more than that.

I have a question about memory. I can get my memory to run with two different settings and I am not sure which one is better. My memory is 6x2gb DDR3 1600mhz CL9

Setting: AUTO on bios

(Details from a program called CPU-Z)
DRAM 600mhz
FSB : DRAM 2:8
CAS Latency (CL) 9 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD) 9 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP) 9 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 22 clocks

OR

If I change a fequency setting on my memory settings in bios I can get the following:

DRAM 900mhz
FSB : DRAM 2:12
CAS Latency (CL) 10 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD) 13 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP) 13 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 31 clocks

Now which one of those two Memory options above is better, it seems that the processor is running hotter wen memory dram is set to 900mhz?

I think you set it on MANUAL, and then put in individual timings based on what your ram will tolerate. Check the documentation that came with your ram for the specs. Generally, the lower the timings, the better, and first you adjust timings before voltages. Then you have to test for stability and heat. It's been a while since I overclocked.

So you mean that 600mhz DRAM is faster than 900mhz DRAM?

No. Actually I'm thinking when you go to MANUAL mode, you may be able to bump that up to 1600mhz cuz that's what you say your ram is rated at? But I don't know for sure. There may be a multiplier effect going on where you have to divide the rating. I just don't know off hand with your setup. I would have to do some research to figure it out and I'm about to fall asleep (lol).

The "timings" are the other settings (e.g., tas). Get those from the instructions that came with your ram or the company website.

Lots of ram
 

What music program is that? I run a lot of music programs myself. Reaper is one of them and with lot of plugins such as Superior drummer and a bunch of vst plugins it can suck up to 2 gb, but still I have enough free ram. I allso use Sony vegas for video editing and i use windows server sometimes. I never need more than 4 gb of ram.

Anybody can help?
 

Hello all,I registered here to know how to cancel my pre-order in Steam.
I sent a email to Steam but no response.
I want to cancel pre-order english version,prefer to purchase a Russion version.

The DRAM Frequency i am talking of (600mhz) is as is shown in CPU-Z program, and apparently you are supposed to multiple it by 2 to get the right result, so I guess I am running my memory currently at 1200mhz (even it is 1600mhz).

I didn't know what the f*ck I was doing with the memory settings so just left them on AUTO on BIOS I let the processor run at 3ghz so it seems to work fine like this (except the fan is a bit louder), but I am happy to get the extra boost.

I don't necessary use all of the 12gb RAM, but once you start to use large sample libraries stacked next to each other and add up tracks, you will need lots of RAM. I want to be able handle a project with 128 tracks if I need to (I have never used so many), but I like the idea that I can do it if I want, so better to load up your system with memory. And RAM is so cheap these days..

I'm tweaking my New Rig plan/design. I've penciled in a Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost), and a GTX 580 or the newest GTX590 (Dual) card.

Any thoughts/advice?

------

It was mentioned in an earlier post that Windows 7/32bit will only access 3.6GB of RAM. Is that correct?
I have been thinking of going with Windows 7/64bit, with CORSAIR DOMINATOR 8GB (2 x 4GB) or G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB). [All I've read agrees that more than 8GB is a total waste]
My question now is: Will Windows7/64Bit access all of that 8GB RAM?

yes, that sounds familiar. I seem to remember I could not overclock my p4 correctly until I had the ram speed and the timings inputed in the bios. So if your running your ram slower than it can handle, you can't overclock your cpu as much and you hit instability wall. those AUTO ram settings might be holding you back on your overclock is what I'm trying to say.
