Waste of money

So yea i run the wide screen mod to get the menu to look rite at 1920x1080 and then i manually adjust the in game res by setting it on my Conf.ini. Below is just the Window portion but it works perfectly just make sure you mark enable re-size to 1 or it will always switch back to native. and also when you have it set like this and working don't change any settings in the graphics section of the menu in game or it will again revert you back to the older res settings for some reason it overrides

Cheers

i would have to agree with you sir i also believe that while CLOD has better potential and ROF might be at its maximum potential at this point for the engine (dont really know that just assuming) but for me its more about the ability to run ROF completely maxed out graphics wise on my machine with full AA and all the trimmings and have the game run Smooth as silk even with a sky full of multi-players.

CLOD can look better in sections of the flying I.E. in the cockpit, and over the water and such but with my machine listed below I have to start making some pretty big graphics sacrifices in order to keep the game running as smoothly and then it loses its edge for me since in order to keep the same performance I have to cripple its graphics edge.

Being that I am no programer of video games I have no idea if this is just something that will improve over time or if it is just a sign that i built too slow a computer for what this game really should be running on. I guess time will tell. if its the later though I will not be able to help my disappointment because I am in a pretty good spot money wise these days and i was able to buy what i thought would at least be in the above average category of boxes and still i have to go below medium settings for most of the really cool stuff to keep the game running perfectly smooth with no stuttering.

It might look good for some, but for me it flickers and the ground shadows look awful.

The ground textures throughout London in Clod are not impressive, whereas the textures in Verdun in ROF look nice. They need work in Clod especially with shadows on. The buildings also pop in and out even the close range ones. It kills any immersion I can get.

CloD wins out in some things, but landscape is not one of them.
Cockpits, Water and Damage models only. Otherwise ROF wins out as it should be because they are two years down the track of their release.

CloD can get there one day if the developer is as dedicated, maybe end of next year CloD will be great. But lots of patches needed.

Having said this, ROF digital nature engine is still in progress even at this great stage. The engine is still improving.

For example the water coming to ROF sometime in the future:

Anyone remember when BOB SOW was mentioned, how it would kick in the pants over ROF graphics wise.

Now ROF is the preferred over CLOD's graphics.


CLOD is not a waste. Each person plunking down money and crying that CLOD's a waste of time is at fault for choosing to buy it. It's up to you to educate yourself what is a good buy and what is not.

Yes the devs and publisher get rocks in their socks for doing a lame release. But in the end, its the buyer who has control of their money.

Early adopters always take that risk, and well if you're willing to take that risk you know if you lose, its part of it . . .


Give this a year or two, and the pendulum will swing and people will say, "Remember when ROF graphics was on par with CLOD, but now they've (CLOD's devs) have come a long way . . ."

I'll wait, which is better, because when 8 cores are the norm the quads will be cheaper . . . well one can say with 16 cores . . . and cheap 8's . . .

Re your graphics topic,I read recently that CLOD is supposed to be getting an even better water graphic,with water that you can see through or something.

I hope so, I really hope it will be great one day.

I want a good WW2 sim, and IL-2 is too dated for me to pickup now

it is realy funny, how fanboys jump at first sign of criticism...it seems that you little boys are spending more time on this forum than in on the sim itself.

It is really funny how whiners jump at the first sign of something positive, it seems those little boys are spending more time being unhappy with the fact that other people are able to have fun than trying to improve their own situation.

See what i did there? Generalizations and sweeping statements are a double-edged sword and they are rarely representative of the majority of posters. But you probably only wanted to get a response and you got one, so i guess your goal is accomplished. Cheers

As for performance you need to optimise your system better,believe me the game is running fine for most of us.

There are still problems with this sim yes,but it is flyable now,so there's no excuse if you have'nt optimised your rig for this sim.

Look at my system please. I have mp sound bug, low FPS, freez and game crash during online flight. Yes, i have latest drivers and patch. I am just about to leave this sim.
