Launcher exe - Problem Centre

[Vonte]

I've started this thread to enable CoD users who have Launcher exe (L-e) problems to be able post to one dedicated source, The object of this thread is to tabulate all the L-e failures users are experiencing, and to give the Dev's some idea what the problem is. My proposal is that we break the problem into three sections, Problems, System Spec and Graphics Settings. I would advise that when stating your specific problem, keep it short and to the point (we don't want to bore the Dev's do we), and dont use abusive language (The Dev's are doing their best to be all things to all men)!!
To the fortunate users who don't have L-e problems (lucky blighters), please refrain from making unhelpful comments, the more flyers we can get over "The Channel", the better the sim will be!!!

Problem: I can only get onto the odd Historical (The Channel) Servers without getting L-e failure. If do get onto a server, I can take off. start to fly over The Channel, it's at this point that I notice that "Fraps" fps is starting to wind down from 40-60 range to less than 20 fps. The sim goes into "stutter vision" and L-e failure results, requiring a System Manager restart. If I join a server such as Doom Island or Steppe, I can fly for hours until in close combat, then it L-e crashes. I did note that Beta 1.03 was the most stable for me.

System Q6600 2.7Gb (2.4Gb) 4Gb 667Mhz DDR2 Ram MSI N460GTX 850core !950Mem (780x1750) Vista 32 Bit Monitor 22" 1440x900 (1680x1050)

Graphics Settings Everything set to medium except: Forest-Low Texture-High SSAO-On Grass-Off Shadows-On Roads-On All 3D settings done on graphics card for better fps (Although it made no difference to L-e problem when letting game set 3D).

As I have no problems with any other sim I own, the problem must be with the Graphics Engine used in this sim. I have worked with the "Mods" on Cliffs of Dover Forum, but their suggestions didn't solve the problem (At least they tried). To conclude, either this sim was "over sold" to low spec system users and it will never work properly, or there is a problem that the Dev's will sort out. I do hope it is the latter, as this sim could be brilliant if it worked for low spec users.

So if you have a L-e problem, don't moan about it, get typing!!!!

Good luck
