I sincerely hope this is the case...

I think one thing a lot of people forget is that there is always the possibility that, out of the blue, another development studio may throw us a super realistic WW2 simulator that works on the day of purchase and where we can actually rely on the system specs as stated on the box. (Of course we all know where the finger of blame points in that regard.... it certainly isn't Ilya et al.)

Not likely? Maybe... impossible? Not at all. If the above happens then it is, sadly, game over.

A lot of people have been lucky enough to only really suffer the memory leak issue and if I said I was incredibly envious it would be an understatement. There is also a sizeable bunch of us who were, perhaps, new to the world of simulation (Well... I say "new" but I doubt "Stealth Fighter" and "Apache Gunship" on the ZX Spectrum really counts. lol) and actually believed that their mid and low end systems (That the recommended system specs stated were fine) would run the game perfectly well, if not on ultra high settings.... but when they found that, even on the lowest settings possible, it was still a mess all the "Well you need a good system to run a simulator! Everyone knows that!" platitudes and holier than thou spouting off from fanboys kinda fell on deaf ears.

Things WILL improve though... I am sure of that! Why? Because even if 1C can't fix it (I'm sure they will)....... well...... take some time and google "Gothic 3" some day. lol
