What's going on?
 

It sure is quiet, here. Hardly any new questions, polls, whines, or rants. No new screenshots or movies, no bug reports. Only two active threads.

I don't know if this is positive or negative.

Everybody is outside working on their tan...

Silent strike till the COOPs issue is not ignored )

:grin:

A silent strike is an excellent idea!

.
Everyone is on vacation.

haters got too burned to go on hating
lovers got to hot to go on loving
everybody else got bored of waiting

WTF am i doing here???:confused:

The Pilots' Lounge is always lively!

The honest answer is that interest in this sim is dying, and it may take a Herculean effort to restore a lot of the faith which has been lost.

Naw, just a good official patch after all this beta.

Fixed :P

;)

Well it was implied with saying after all the betas :) But yes, the goal would be a VERY good official patch, I am sure the dev team would agree :)

Don't go there mate, causes all sort of sh!t

.
Everyone is on vacation in a very far and sunny country not in europe! Where it is rainning all the time and everyone is very sad. Then everyone is folowing the Olimpic games and still nothing shall be done but after all this in septembre when the kids are back at scholl all shall be fine. Where there is hope there is life.

At least you're staying upbeat about it...

Most people I know are outside enjoying the weather, not sitting in front of a computer.

So everyone goes on vacation at the same time now? No, it's plain and simple why nobody's posting, it's because people have ran out of things to say. We have talked about everything there is to talk about. We have seen people's videos, pics and even talked about how sunny it is outside. I myself am just waiting for the game to be fixed so that I can enjoy playing it and until then there isn't a great deal to say now.

So you don't have any clue why it's quiet m8? You must be even more naive then i am ;)

Bingo !!

.

Whats going on?

Nothing.

Playing the patience game.. best not to panic seems everything IS going smoothly at the moment they just have a few cardboard boxes to unpack and all will be well :)

I will second that Atros, but I have a feeling it wont fit in with whatever the future plans are for the game,unfortunately.

Maybe there were sone bannings among the you-know-who group. :P

Maybe, but all the pointless bullsh!t polls and blasphemous threads were not closed since they moved to Paraguay, or was it Argentina? Who knows.... ;)

1c's computer got a virus, they are all out looking at getting a new one.

B6 is on holidays, i think this friday we will have news.

S!

This is the end...
My faithfull friends.....THE END.

Or "Der Untergang" as we WWII nerds prefer to call it... I can see Bruno Gantz "fake texted" to shout stuff like:

"Can everyone who was not involved in losing the source code during the move to our new office leave the room now!"

"All that don't work on the patch - leave the room now!"

OMG don't even say it out loud!

Considering 1C/Maddox's history with 'stolen' patches with the old IL2 franchise I hope they are careful. Heck, wasn't there even a story not long before CoD's release where Oleg's home PC was infiltrated where someone tried to get CoD's source code?

Yeah, that was before release however. Nobody would go out of their way to pinch it now I reckon. Chances of somebody leaving it in the mens room though...

Many stories floated around during the development of CloD.

We should use this quiet times to thank the developers for their efforts and the patches for the best flight sim ever.

:grin:You,re sitting outside in the pouring rain YIKES :)

Or in my case, the freezing cold!

Playing sims/games that work and are fun :)

RC aerobatics looks like a good outdoor activity for a change.

http://vimeo.com/39776003

These Australian guys make probably the lightest RC planes in the world.

yes ...in which country?..not here in UK for sure!

Yes we do but the water ingress removes the "lightest" part ;)

At least the whinging and snide developer disparages have stopped

I guess thats healthy then,everyone has left the building complete lack of interest

It seems you can do some boring powerless flying there at least :) http://vimeo.com/44470432

....Erm,this!

Hits it on the nail on the head at the moment mate.

Does anyone else find the video showing a "hollywood" flatlining very ironic and fitting for all the drama queens in here LOL!

http://kellyjaye.patriotactionnetwor...028house29.jpg

It definitely makes the waiting more calming. The WarThunder SimHq forums are very quite, everyone who's interested in the sim must be beta testing and under a NDA as there is very little praising or whinging happening there. ;) I had hopes for that sim, but the latest video still shows the BOB map only incompassing the Manston/Folkstone area. Its quite useless for not much more than airstart furballs.

What is there to talk about? Lots of people complained about the last patch and and what it did to the tree Lod etc, but in 3 weeks we have had no response to people's concerns. I think everyone is waiting for an update on the situation before saying anything else, but maybe they really have become fed up of the whole situation because I know I have. I don't think everyone has a vacation at the same time so that isn't the reason for it been dead in here, and I don't think it's anything to do with the sunshine because many people are playing other games.

How dead the forums are now has little if any effect on the future of COD, If the game engine is finished and working, everything will start fresh from that point.

Chivas you're right to an extent. But the lack of interest highlights that people have moved on from CloD and, clearly, haven't seen much reason to come back.
Perhaps positive change will bring them back, but if they can live without the game they may see no need to go through further trouble to squeeze the most out of it. I think that's the bottom line: if they are happy not playing it, they may see no reason to go back; especially if the only real change manifests as the next sequel. BoB lovers still aren't happy.

As an offliner it will take a miracle to make me want to upgrade to play this game as much as I am playing BoB2 right now.

It sounds depressing, but it's the truth. I personally don't really care any more either. I just come here to see if there is anything new as I want this game to succeed.

Just release the blasted SDK and let the community sort this game out.

Speaking only for myself here, I have less time for the forum, because I am flying Clod more often.

Other games have taken my prime time...hell...I haven't even logged into the game for over 3 to 4 weeks...and probably won't until it is fixed proper.

But, to take my time up, I have DCS CA (new release), BF3 off and on, Mechwarrior online will be out soon as well (looking forward to that as I played it many years ago and enjoyed it a lot). Mostly just chillin out at home other than that and enjoying my holidays.

That's pretty funny. You don't care, except that you actually do care.

Its the same as quite a few of us really, we want fixed what we have paid for, but can't be bothered with the other 'stuff' churned out (but not very regularly now) by 1C/MG because we can no longer honestly believe what they print.

You hit the nail on the head hear mate.

It's best to avoid David though. He takes everything literally, and lacks the ability to read between the lines.

:lol: agreed

I have no problem reading between the lines. Mostly it's whining.

If the game engine is fixed the WW2 aircombat community will come back as there is no other alternative atleast at the moment, and I don't see anything in the future that can even compete with IL-2 1946. I had hopes for WarThunder, but their BOB map still only incompasses Manston and Folkstone making it useless for anything more than airstart furbals. The DCS WW2 sim is along long way off.

So it seems is a 1C WW2 sim.

There's that favorite word again "whining" Used because they think it will make you say nothing negative about the game. Cannot grasp the fact we paid for the game and in this day and age when you pay for something you want it to work like it should. I laugh ever time I see that word "whining" because these people think it's it's like a cross to a vampire, that people will retreat when it's used :grin:.

There are debates based on ideology "I demand because I am entiteld too!"
and debates based on reality "small development team, small budget, will take time".

The one constantly clashes with the other.

If it was up to me I would ban anyone that used the word 'whiner' or 'fanboy' on the forum.
All it does is inflame things, but thats probably the intention...
Carry on. :rolleyes:

You cannot take away all what has been said about the game by the Devs, and it's here when expectations are not met that questions get raised in the first place. All I can say is, you shouldn't inadvertently raise questions about the game if you don't want to be in a position to start a debate.

The problem isn't that you're saying negative stuff about the game, the problem is that you're saying the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over. I felt the same way about Wings of Puke as you feel about CoD. I didn't spam their message board with constant complaining. I moved on. You should consider doing the same.

As I said, there are debates based on ideology "I demand because I am entiteld to!"
and debates based in reality "small development team, small budget, will take time".

Nothing in your post changes that. If you still take everything a developer says about an upcoming game at face value after more then 20 years of game development history, well.........

I'll say the same to you David. You cannot take away all what has been said about the game by the Devs, and it's here when expectations are not met that questions get raised in the first place. All I can say is, you shouldn't inadvertently raise questions about the game if you don't want to be in a position to start a debate. I know each patch will bring a new debate and I would listen to people's concerns instead of flaming them.

Sure you can. If you're not happy with the game, find something else to do with your life. Problem solved.

So if you don't like it leave it? No, thats too easy, cause we like it! What you did at "Wings of puke" is your thing, but who are you that you advise your wisdom over and over and over and over and over and over again.

So why don't YOU move on?

What do you like? The game? Most certainly not, giving the stance displayed in the forum. The community here? Can't be either, given how much this behaviour gets onto the nerves of those that simply realize that things are as they are and the devs are trying to sort it out. Maybe you mean you "like" to be unnerving? More likely, I suppose.

PotNoodles "But the devs said....D:!"....all I can say to that, grow up, they said it, they were incapable to hold their promises, they got more Flak over that then probably any other developer in the history of game making, now move on.

I seriously tried to ignore the whiners here for the longest of times, simply thinking "one day they will either accept and make some constructive proposals for a change, or move on to games more to their liking". But it is impossible after all that time to still have the same stuff repeated all over the board again and again. Zero personal development.
Get a life, guys, seriously.

If you are going to answer me David don't just edit parts of my post and give me a half baked answer. We can all do that and make it look as though we have answered something.

What problems that again David? Oh you are talking about my left foot.. Yes it's alot better, thanks for asking :).

Why do you ask what I like when you obviously already know it? There are people who fight for that what they like and for there interests.

Others sit down and wait or complain about the noise... ;)

Thanks for posting this. It provides some really good insight into the "logic" of someone who spends hours spamming a message board for a game that they don't like.

To say it in your words...

"Sure you can. If you're not happy with the board, find something else to do with your life. Problem solved."

P.S.: Over 'n out... back to life :)

The problem that has caused you to spend many hours spamming a message board for a game that you're not happy with. Find something else to do and CoD's problems will no longer bother you.

Yes, there are people who fight for what they like. And I have the biggest respect for those people, those that gather material, organize bug trackers, write mails to the Dev team construcivly outlining the problems and proposing solutions, digging themselves into the script language of the mission builder to get the best out of it even without official documentation, those kinda people.

And then we have little crying children sitting in their chairs at home doing nothing but typing, who use every other thread to spam their message "but the deveopers promised....D:!!!!" "I demand......!", "I am entitled to because I paid "money....!", writing in a style as if the Devs are sipping Margheritas laughing about all the folks they obviously ripped intentionally off.
Not to speak about the extra kicks they give to the guy almost knocked out on the ground already.

That was understandable in the very beginning, but now, over a year after release, it's just pathethic.

man this thread is dire.

nobody knows when/ if this game will ever patch up. So there. end of.

I fully agree to your point of view. But do you you know what else is "just pathethic" over a year after the release ? ;)

I would consider myself all grown up because I am willing to look at both sides without using silly little words like "Whiners" etc. Nobody forces you to read what you don't like in here and there is an easy option called the "ignore function." But if you cannot resist reading a thread where the title clearly says "Whats going on" that's your fault nobody else's.

Nope, I do not, but enlighten me. What else is?

Yes, I am forced to read what I do not like. Because I only know what is written there "after" I read it. And especially when the subject matter at hand tends to come up in every other thread. Believe me, I tried my hardest to "ignore" it and look the other way over the last half a year. But you guys make it simply impossible.

A thread titled "What is going on?" can mean everything and nothing. Why don't you guys just make an official complainers thread where you can write in what you dislike all day long, with everybody else fully ware not to enter there? That would be progress.

If your only proposal to that is to use the "ignore" function, an honor only Furbs got so far, then you can have that. If that is what you really want.

You really don't know ? Take your time and read this.....

I did already enlight him.......

Yes best to slap me on your ignore if you are not open to debate from both sides, it will save me doing it to you.

Ok, full stop. Are you aware of the size of the dev team? Are you ware of the funding sitation at 1c? Are you aware of the problems that arouse with so many of the old programmers leaving the dev team, including the old master himself?

Given all the infos we got here about the state of the development team and the problems they have to overcome currently, you complain that things do not work propperly? Seriously?

We are back to square one.

There are people that debate on ideological grounds. What they should have gotten, what should have been, how the game should have released and so on, completly ignoring any real impact on such principles. Lots of "shoulds" and "ifs" and most of all "I"s.
It's their ideal world populated by 100 percent funtioning robots where nothing ever goes wrong and payment grants you the perfect product you will be happy with ever after.

And there are people debating based on reality, taking events and impacts outside the planning into account.

If this was Silent Hunter V, where the product was even buggier then CoD when it arrived and the whole development got abandonded after three meager patches, then yes, I would undertstand your stance.

But even THAT community stopped complaining after 2 or 3 months and simply started to break up the software and got on with modding.

All you did was showing me some crash report, stuff I got myself before I worked a bit on my system.

What you could start with is opening a thread, giving your system specs and then we could try to figure it out. Because performance wise the game runs quite fine now, most problems stem from software conflicts.

wish granted

It's my second computer during the last years. But this new one faces the same old problems like the old one. Thought it will be gone after bying this rig.
I guess you can't blame my computer for this mess.

But i have also to admit that i don't use alpha or beta patches. Don't like to experiment with my installation.

Here are my specs anyway: i7 2700k @ 3.5GHz
8gig Ram
Nvidia GTX 580 1524mb ram
Win 7 Home Premium 64bit

Should be a fine rig for modern games i guess......

A lot of people who have the gtx 5xx series have had a lot of troubles, i don´t know why ... i have an gtx 480 OC and works like a charm .... and i will change it for a gtx 680 .... both of this cards (the 6xx and 4xx) seems to works better than the 5xx .... pretty weird imho.

Check your PMs

I have a GTX570, works no problem. Using the beta patch for CoD, however, would be a first step in getting to fly right now.

I had GTX580 1.5GB cards and changed to GTX580 3GB cards and all my stutters disappeared with everything on maximum settings even in earlier patches.

The problem is the game still uses 1.8-2GB video Ram with the tuning of the textures they've done with everything on maximum so the card has to swap textures to system memory and back again. It used to use close to 2.5GB in earlier patches. Most people that are complaining of stutters now are just plain trying to run the game at too higher setting for the video ram in their cards.

If you can you should run MSI afterburner and check you Vram usage and turn game features off until you get under 1.5GB vram usage. The biggest change will be trees, buildings and changing from original textures.

GTX 580 3gb?? Have you got a nuclear powerplant in your pc?? lol ;) ... With those cards, you MUST, run everything at very high or else you are a sinner. :-P

I do just about have a reactor in there ;) 2 x 1500W PSU's and the system can peak at 2.5KW under full load in a game.

Yes I run everything maxed out and have zero problems with game stability and butter smooth. Because SLI doesnt work im only using 1 card at normal 1920x1080 res. Occasionally I run the game in surround @ 6048x1080 and thats the only time SLI actually works properly across all 4 cards and it works smoothly too but I have to turn a couple features down to keep FPS above 30.

This is clearly inaccurate for the BoB, it's set in 1944!

I don't remember that sketch, great funthanks for posting :)

Septic.
