So this is what I don't get...

[snwkill]

So I load up IL2 COD after a few patches come and gone, fire up a quick single player mission, after I get the controls mapped out on my x52... Turn off trees in the options, set some other stuff... get in running good take down a couple of planes, was actually impressed by how my wing man came zooming in from behind to actually help... So then I back out and figure "you know I might as well jump online and get my butt whooped a few times..." I figure since we figured out the sound issue I would find something going on....

And to my amazement, not one, not one single server popped up! Now I am going to check my IDS software and make sure I have IL2 in the exclusions, but a funny feeling tells me that isn't the problem....

So what really is it guys? The game isn't that buggy... Granted I am running it on a GTX590, but is that what is stopping the game really? Poor performance? The way everyone was talking you would think that it CTD's every 10 minutes... So I am just trying to get what you really really expect, (and if it is for the game to run at 60 fps on your 5 year old graphics card you should probably start writing on santa clause's forum and not 1C's) because from what I can tell there should be no excuse.

I was pretty impressed, but there isn't much single player value, and I am afraid there is this pseudo "this game sucks" atmosphere, that really shouldn't be there... We found a work around for the multiplayer sound bug, and that was the major gripe, so WHERE IS EVERYONE?

There is alot wrong with multiplay, obviously the sound issues and also the engine speeds seem to be well off, floating ships (in air not on sea), disappearing contacts, regular disconnections / lag issues, whether this is a steam issue or more bad coding no-one knows. It all mounts up to a frustrating experience - hence very few fly online. As an example two nights ago 22 people in the entire world were playing CLOD multiplayer, World of Tanks 38,000.

Yea that was really weird. I went in about 15 minutes ago not one single server. I come here and post... Then my internet goes completely out, couldn't get to google. So I reset my router and cable modem, poof 10 servers up... craziness... Well that makes me feel a bit better.

I was really upset that there was not one server up.

Some of what I say still holds true, if I were 1c I would completely cut off free speech from this forum and kick every person that complains. One post about an issue that needs to be fixed and the rest of the bitching canned.

It really is bad press when your own forums are filled with nothing but whiners, and you have to dig into subforums, or ubi's forum to find fixes to problems, like turning off trees fixes multiplayer sound. It was probably posted here but it also probably had 10 posts before it saying 1c sucks and 10 after it saying "where's Luthier?"

So here is my one suggestion to Luthier, crack down on your MODs, or give them permission to delete every thread that has the slightest hint of BS polls, and worthless whining...

You can start here and practice with mine

Agreed 100+

Glad someone agrees...

I will be the first to admit that I got sucked into it as well.

I know the aviation community we aren't the types who get a plane from Lockheed and piss and moan when one of the systems don't work and say "well I guess we will just sit here until we get a new revision;" we hand the aircraft to our aviation mechanics and say, "here is the problem, and make it work we have a mission to fly in 3 hours."

Glad to hear some people are working in the community to find workarounds, but when they find a fix they need to be post #1, #2, and #3 on the MAIN forum. All whining threads/polls/where's luthier's need to be moved 5 levels deep.

As for me I am off to the Syndicate!

if you want know why the multiplayer amount is not as much as the old IL2 (one cant compare games like WoT IMHO) , perhaps you will find here some reasons:

Here is what worked for me, after reading advice on this forum.

Make your own server for a minute, after that the server list should populate.

Appreciate the help guys!

Ohhh so there is other useful information buried beneath the whining
