You want the specs of 7 of my friends PC's? (no, not an exaggeration)

They all seem to have the same issues, low FPS, graphics issues in the cockpits (instruments are purple and green etc). Their specs dont really matter when the majority of them have the issues. Its a game problem. I heard that you can fix it by changing the game so it uses direct x 9 instead of 10 but im not sure how to do that

That fixed this issue: http://fotopocket.nl/fpimages/2011/1...6-42-07-84.jpg

Thank you!

Hopefully the smaller issues like low fps and game crashes will be fixed in the next patch. But at least they can enjoy the awesome graphics now.

(kind of strange that that filter is set to on by default and it causes so many issues )

I guess its so they can't be blamed if you choose to turn the filter off and then have an epilectic fit...

Not really sure what the point of saying that is. Wouldn't you be aggravated if you just bought a game and everything was purple and it crashed every 2 min?

My game works just fine. I want to help out other people so they can enjoy the game as much as I do. The color issue was resolved and i'm sure the crashing will be fixed in the next patch. Nobody is trying to rage or rant, I just wanted to get my friends games working properly.

I've tried everything to up my frames (RAM disc, added ram to 12gb, latest drivers, reinstall, clear cache, defrag, etc, etc, etc) without success. I even hoped for the ghost patch from steam but no joy.

Only two things that has helped was overclocking the vid card and playing around with the video settings in game.

I cry myself to sleep every day that goes by without an optimization patch.

I understand and sympathize with them. Wish I had the silver bullet to fix it.

Mine has worked fine from day 1 but I have a better than average system.. I think for this game a good graphics card and a better CPU is the way to go.. the double and triple G Card crowd seem to be having far less return for their investment than those with simpler high performance systems.

Todays average system is a good quadcore, a good VGA with 1GB of VRAM and 8GB DDR3 RAM, running Windows 7 x64.

You don't need the best CPU, the best brand of RAM or ultimate VGA to run CloD ok, but don't expect so much without the basic config above...
