Describe issues with BOB COD that need patch - for Oleg, Luthier

[335th_GRAthos]

#1) use3renders=1 command does not work (using three monitors)

#2) Unacceptable drop of fps when nearing enemy airplanes(e.g. First single mission "intercept bombers"), from 38fps down to 2fps ! After a few minutes the problem disappears.

i7 2.93GHz
2xGTX570 SLI
Win XP

Please clarify:after a few minutes of gaming you can go near of the bombers without framerate drop?

Yes, after a few minutes near the bombers, I can fly around them without my frame rate dropping to 2-3fps. (there is still a frame drop but it is not so radical as during the first-second pass through the bomber formation)
I do not know if this helps but despite dedicating 2-3 CPU cores for the game, at the moment in question it is only one CPU that is working at 100% percent, the other CPUs reaining idle. o, at the crucial moment, the overall CPU load is 14% percent (of eight cores - 4 cores + 4 hyperthreading) with the first allocated to IL2 core working at 100% percent

@28_Condor:
Thank you for this information about RAM, I check the RAM consumption and whether this is the problem.
Despite your negative comment on WinXP, I think I have the least problems with the game using WinXP than other people I know using Win7

Luthier, your statement about the epilepsey filter disabling SLI seems to be incorrect, those with dual card setups that have disabled the filter still have no SLI support. Please advise what to do from here.

I would like to give my 2 cents about a specific sound thing: the structural creak that you hear almost every time is a bit overdone. What you guys don't seem to get is that the noise of the engine in front of you is the most potent, deafening thing that you have in the cockpit, you would probably be able to hear the thud thud thud of the guns, but the engine is SO loud you guys have no idea. To hear the structural creak like that you need:
1) to be pulling crazy Gs, almost close to the breaking point (the max G I pulled in a real P-51 mustang was 6.2 and never heard a thing). The sound u use sounds more like a submarine structural sound, if anything it should be a shorter creak sound.
2) probably to be with the engine on idle! Again, the sound of the engine is deafening, it covers everything else.

Mission 4 in the British campaign crashes on start. English version.

Update: Never mind. It was a windows problem. Sorry.

They've discovered the cause for the closing to bombers stutter: the exhaust pipes

Hi Grathos

I use WinXP but I will upgrade to win7 precisely because XP have a limit of 3,5 RAM, above this the sistem dont recognize more memory... With CoD I want at least 6 giga of RAM to run the game (not yet available for Latin America)

How is the game running on a 5970... Please get xfire/sli and dual chip support optimised ASAP

Thanks

[Kankkis]

Agreed 5970 is really powerful card, it's shame if is it not working like it should.
