AMD Sapphire 5970,
256GB A-RAM SSD,
Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate

Lets go thru some of your comments:


1. Well that is interesting, for even if I have terrain turned to LOW I still cannot get playable framerates.

Many players have very playable fps as we speak...Your problem, for the moment is your 5970...Since SLI/Xfire give worse performances than a single GPU, your results are not representative of what COD can do now.
Those who have SLI configurations had very poor fps...After running the game on a single GPU, their fps doubled...

2. So I can expect my framerate of 9FPS to go to 18FPS, is that an acceptable increase? What sort of multicore support are we talking here? Surely you are adding support for no less then 4 cores considering every man and his dog has at least a average quad core running their system.


Read # 1 ...On a single GPU, the average fps reported on many forums are around 25 fps...Double that and we talk about 50 fps....And yes, quad core is what you can get for $250.00 now...That is if you want top performances for a 2011 game with 50 planes in the sky...

4.What about rounds that don't appear to leave at all? I can hear the audible sounds of bullets firing, but there are no visible effects that indicate that you have actually fired your weapons.

Unless you selected a ammo belt with every rounds as tracers , you would get , as an exemple, 1 tracer for every 5 rounds..So it is normal to hear shots without seeing each ot them...

5. This is my biggest bugbear. Is it simply SLi support or are you also concentrating your efforts on Crossfire support also? In addition, where is the native support for multi-monitors? More and more people are playing with multiple monitors, yet programmers and developers (such as yourselves) aren't including native support for multiple monitors. This game looks absolutely terrible with multiple monitors, with the cockpit being all blown up and enlarged. It would be great if we could see multi-monitor support included by the developers rather then the likes of individuals and groups such as the Widescreen Gaming Forum. It's funny, my 5970 will chew through Crysis pretty well with 3 monitors, yet it cannot handle Cliffs of Dover, struggling to achieve 9FPS with all setting on either medium or low.


Read the above...It will be fixed...


Salute !

At first thank you for the fast patch and the hard work you and the team are investing in this game.
Its nice to see, you hear the community and try to please us with the changes you are goning to made.

I've got no problems to lower my graphics to run the game in a smooth and lookable way. Also the center spring bug from my G940 is not a problem.

But I think, I need a little statement about Force Feedback.

It is really dissapionting for many people (including me) to see (and feel) you didn't include Force Feedback in CloD.
It's a feature which not only raises the immersion and the feeling, it gives you a really good feedback, what your machine is going to do in the next moments.
It's something a flight simulator needs to have in 2011.

In my case, I bought the G940 ONLY because of FFB and CloD (after I've had heared FFB will be implemented)

Some rumors appear in the forums that you will not add FFB in the near future or that you are going to never add it into CloD.

But when it was never planned to include FFB, why we got the line "FF=1" in our conf.ini - or does it mean something else??

CloD has the potential to grow up to the best WW2 - flight simulator ever, but never without FFB.

Please, give us an official statement about the future of CloD.


Thanks a lot

This question is already answered. FFB will be added in CloD, but this is not main problem. Right now devs solving perfomance issue and fixing bugs. So yes, we will not see FFB support in Clod in near future (at least in 1-3 month).

Please people....chill out! Have faith that this will be fixed just like every other game (can anyone name a game that never ever needed a patch?)

how can you answer questions like that? are you a member of dev team? Why people that don't have a clue of what they are talking about don't stop post like they are the devs?

[etzi]

You can not imagine why there are the negative reactions?

Do you have a loss of reality?

The game was released too early! I don´t say, that's the fault of 1C. Rather, I see the problem at Ubi.

I just hope that the IL2 series will not become a total loss.

Ubi has done it already in Silent Hunter 5, ruining the series.

Somehow CoD is actually the same, as if I buy a new car, that the first year only runs in first gear and I can only enter through the window.

[bongodriver]

No...No loss of reality, just find it hard to imagine that people 'need' so badly to complain in this manner, if people are so dubious about UBI or 1C products already why oh why did they buy the latest game immediately on release, if I had a hunch a company was creating bad products I would have done some research before I made my purchase, but instead some people are writing posts with utter condemnation because they feel cheated and robbed etc.....nobody puts a gun to your head to buy this stuff......seriously

[QUOTE=luthier;247765]Hi everyone. I’m very sorry to see that some of you are having technical difficulties with the game. It pains me personally to see that these problems are preventing you from enjoying everything the game has to offer. [End quote]

I'm sure you are pained Luthier. And so are we. But you should also be totally embarrassed.

[Quote] The team has been working at a frantic pace since mid-summer. I personally have been working 12+ hour days 7 days a week pretty much non-stop, with only a short breather around Christmas. Optimization has always been our top priority; for example, the game you are playing now is roughly twice as fast as the version shown at Igromir. [End quote]

Which begs the question: why are you working 'at a frantic pace' after 7 years? Clearly because this project has been moved on and off the back burner so many times as more lucrative work came in that no one has managed - understandably - to keep control of it. But to have basic elements such as the mixture and radiator control ass about face is just unforgivable.

[Quote] We are continuing to work at the same pace now, after the release – no weekends in sight. We are working very hard to make the game better, and we hope that even those of you who are unhappy with the state of the game are still able to see that it is worth the wait, and that you have faith in

our ability to improve on your experience. [End quote]

People working at that pace are will inevitably become exhausted - if they aren't already - and just make more mistakes. After this initial showing I have NO CONFIDENCWE WHATSOEVER in you making things better within a reasonable time scale.

Years ago you were showing us all sorts of eye candy such as waving grass and the exactly correct type of machine guns on military vehicles. IMHO, this just showed how completely screwed up your priorities were.

Many have been highly sceptical of attitude of the 'development teram' since the very earliest days. And sadly, we were 100% right to be so.

Snipped...

so you really just wanted another mediocre generalised arcade type of sim........like wings of prey?

Sure thats right.

But for me the disappointment, however, outweighs the joy too.

I can understand the opinions of the "mainstream users" as well as yours. But this is the forum of the developer. It is inevitable that there are some critical remarks.
