To luthier

[kendo65]

Here's a radical re-interpretation of the current situation.

There is a possibility that we are over-reacting by mistakenly putting 2 issues together that are not as related as they first appear.

The facts so far:

We know from luthier that the epi thing causes reduced fps
we know that some people on the Russian forum had issues.

Here's the possibility:

The Epi thing causes a fps hit – and wipes out the SLI crowd, as acknowledged by Luthier, but the main reason for the rash of initial low fps dis-satisfaction is more down to people making bad set-up choices in the (very) early days (actually - hours and minutes) of a new release. Took me a few days to get old il-2 looking and running well when I first got it.

For evidence - check out Buzzsaw's thread and some new postings from Nike-it - People being told to turn off dynamic weather!!? and reduce the buildings and trees settings a little, then getting decent results.

In this scenario, Luthier’s post isn’t the mea culpa for releasing a game that won’t run at all, that we’ve all taken it to be. It’s an acknowledgement of an issue that is detrimental but not the main reason for the initial wailing.

Let’s wait at least to the end of the first day to see what develops.

I rate all this as an outside possibility at this point, and I’m not going back to my Mr Happy avatar just yet, but there is a chance that we have over-reacted a little too quickly as this whole doom-mongering thing has snowballed.

Was going to post this on the epi thread, but here seems better.

finally a post that makes REAL sense. I have the same feeling.

What happens if the game is so good that they can't stop playing it even when their lightbulb starts to flicker and induces a fit.

What if I love the game so much that I don't get much sleep and then fall asleep at the wheel of my car the next day, can my wife sue UBI.

It is all rollox, put a big warning sign on the package as rides do at funfairs etc

Welcome back to reality kendo, how was your excursion into Trees whacky world of assumptions and baseless facts?

Yes, odd isn't it. I predicted the game would run badly, and it does. whacky or what!!

Have YOU played it yet? If you haven't you're making assumptions. See how easy that was.

Oh yeah, I guess that I am assuming all the dissatisfied customers on the Russian forum are not lying - you are assuming they are. My money is on me.

Didn't answer my question, you're still making assumptions LOL!

Thank you addman, he clearly didn't get my point.

Also the variation in computer setups always causes issues for someone, why do you think consoles do so well developers and producers like them as they don't have to optimise the game for a 1000000 different setups....

Well, I was your friend over at the anti epilepsy hysteria thread but that was a few minutes ago so...

I think we ALL predicted rather bad performance at the release - the question is how to handle that? If we all run around in circles blaming everything, cancelling our pre-orders etc - what good will that do? Let's all buy this game and help correct the performance issues and bugs as fast as possible just as many of us did with RoF - as this is the best WWII sim we will get for many years? Or what else? Do you want this title to succeed? Really?
