Who do we blame?

You blame no one. It was a freak accident. They should make a switcher option for the western release.

Problem is - even without a switcher it runs terrible. Or so people say. This issue really needs to be sorted out in the next month or two. With such a piss poor marketing campaign I doubt that these bad initial reports do any good to sales.

I was going to say. Its true, the epi filter off doesn't do much rather the game is terribly optimised. Its nothing to do with the graphics being amazing because as we know, it hardly uses 1 core (apperently) and it cannot multi GPU. This proves there is something badly wrong with the code. A complex fix would add 30 frames imo back on Mid range PC's on med/max settings.

Say a person has been flying IL-2 all of the 10 years it's been out. He's an epileptic and so far he hasn't had much trouble. All of a sudden he buys the sim he's been waiting for for six years. He gets it out and starts flying. Next thing he knows he finds himself on the floor a half hour later just waking up with muscles that ache. His inner cheek, tougue and lips might be chewed all to hell. His legs and arms might be bashed up also because of the grand mal seizure he's just had. This person would deffenetly need that filter. I think they need a switcher. This video has no filter I'm sure of it. It's almost two years old. Look how smooth it is.

I agree! The game was running perfectly on hardware that was 2 or even 3/4 years old. As SOON as ubisoft mention something the implamentation of the filter in the past month has ruined EVERYTHING. If they sold us there last successful build, I garentee it would be running perfectly on ATI 4000 series.

Placing blame fixes nothing.

There is starting to be evidence that people with modern rigs, that are taking the time to tweak settings are getting acceptable performance.

Some of the posters on the Russian forums are running very old rigs with weak specs. And besides we are only what, three odd days into the release?

Personally I'm viewing the Russian early release as an open beta test session.

The dev team will fix things. I know for some of you this statement will not be enough as you feel you are entitled to perfection for some odd reason.

Here is a clue, perfection costs a lot more than $49.99, and certainly more than the $15 that our Russian friends are paying for the right to play what amounts to a beta.

Be patient. By the time of the release in the Western Hemisphere (mid April) things will be better, and will continue to improve as time passes.

cheers.

You may have a point but believe me price has nothing to do with it. Average wage in the Uk is 20k to 40k. There it is 8k. That is why they pay less, however I do agree that a fix is on its way. I'm only upset because of the lack of information by Oleg and his team. I'm also upset about the epi filter, I hope there is an easy way to hack remove it without steam crying about modifications.
