And now, a show stopper, for me anyway...

..most probably...

~S~

Read the thread in the multiplayer forum, about the JG27 campaign we are currently flying. People were getting .exe after 15 minutes, I lasted an hour. They had 8-16GB ram, I have 4GB...
It seems totally random.

I only have 4 gig Ram and have played on mp servers for 1 1/2hrs plus with no problem.
could it be this is mostly effecting ppl with MORE than 4 gig ram ?

Also when playing Arma2 you can flush your ram in game ( its left control - on keypad type "flush" if i remember correctly) is this a posibility in Clod

Straffing cars or even flak emplacements is OK, but hit one of those big fuel tanks on a French base, or shoot up a static Blenheim with the mighty twin 8mms of a Stuka, and BANG! SMOKE!!!! FLAMES!!!! DESKTOP!!!!!!

Every time.

Please sort this out. Oh and while you are at it please make the Blenheim and G 50 actually usable.

Please.

You have been here long enough to know that Luthier isn't reading the forums, only those associated with last updates. There are sticky threads open on the last patch you can explain issues there.

Otherwise, you are just talking the walls... no one else here, but the devs can resolve your issues.

[ElAurens]

Then why bother with a forum at all?

No offence meant nearmiss.

[Chivas]

In this case a forum is indispensable to help each other thru our issues on a largely not yet documented sim.

[ElAurens]

I know.

We do help each other out here, even if we sometimes toss the toys out of the pram.

It absolutely beggars belief that stuff like this is still going on. How long ago was this game released?!

I know you read and understand English. You twisted my words.

You know to post in sticky threads where Luthier will be reading, if expect him to possibly read your postings.

Most likely imho it's a combination of factors which is why not everyone is having crashes. I haven't bothered to play online yet even since release because I don't have the time or patience to waste 20 minutes getting prepped for a fight only to crash so I'm pretty much going to wait until things are mostly sorted out.

I've been getting the odd crash in SP as well so it's not a MP only issue

I'm also thinking that there is a memory leak, but that it exacerbates some other issue affecting the video causing crashes. El's experience suggests - and we've all probably noticed significant FPS drops with close-in explosions, clouds, and smoke effects - that it might be something relating to the video buffer getting overloaded.

Just a suspicion really but I think a good test would be to significantly drop video settings to lighten the load and see how long it takes for a crash, if at all.

Either way, it's definitely a coding issue and I think the devs are well aware of it, just that they are probably working furiously to implement the new engine in order to give the efficiency needed.

Just speculation.

Lighten up Francis, and maybe stop trying to be a forum cop. If El wants to post a separate thread which is actually bringing up a reasonable discussion topic why not let him?
