Yeah, but then they'll introduce the proper weather, and we'll be back to 20fps.

Yeah, and with tree collisions we'll be back to 3fps ...

Throw the epilepsy filter on too and we've got ourselves a fancy looking powerpoint presentation.

Much as I feel the pain of the XP users if you're getting 3fps and even an eventual CTD you're doing better than my attempts to run it in XP.

I'm only doing it out of curiosity to see what the min specs would deliver but on both my old boxes it won't even start, just the cross hairs then back to desktop.

Box1 AMD 3800+/2Gb/7800GT/XP/Dx9
Box2 P4 dual core 3GHz/2Gb/6600/XP/Dx9

I know the GPUs probably wont run it but it should at least get me to the game menus.

Frankly if getting it running on XP with Dx9 is going to mean destroying its basic qualities for Win7/Dx10-11 users I'd rather they just declared XP unsuitable, bit the bullet on refunds and got on with it.

In testing a while back, I averaged ~56 fps on the tiger moth test track with XP and an unsupported DX10 8600GT 256 mb video card using the DX9 parameter in the confi.ini and only 2GB of ram. My cpu is AMD dual core 3.0 Ghz. That was before the patches. I posted the pic somewhere in a RAAAID thread. So, it does run better than 3 fps XP, even with unsupported hardware and minimal ram.

People are in denial on this game so they blame XP. Case in point. Look at Tuckie's video with 50 some odd planes in the air in offline test. He has a latest system. There is obvious stuttering and he had to tone down the graphics to get it playable. Now I remind you, the game advertised 128 player online capability. Ask yourself, "how it that going to happen?" Everyone would have to tone down the graphics settings to bare minimum on their latest hardware systems? I don't know about you, but when I start getting lag stutters online, I'm out of there. So, it's just a dream this CLoD. All the crazy things people are willing to do here to get the game to function. It's admirable, but not rational. And telling people to throw money at this game is nonsense right now. Just wait until they fix it so we know what we are dealing with. Every patch so far seems to change the game radically. If luthier announces that fps may improve by 50%, then wait and see if it is the truth or not before doing anything. JMHO.

stuttering has issues with stuff not related to graphics. i still have stutters with all graphics set to low if i go near a plane.

I completely agree with your second paragraph.

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with this post right here, totally. I love the people on this forum that blames the bad performance on anything and their grandmothers and not a bit on the game itself. Guys with nuclear power plant rigs that makes even NASA envious have performance issues with this game. Then you hear the cries "oh but Battlefield 3 (for example) is not as advanced as this super sim". I say to these people, put Battlefield 3 on Ultra settings and CloD on the highest settings on your rig then tell me which looks more technically advanced and which performs better.

Still loving CloD for what it is though but I wish some people would wake up and smell the coffee....it's quite burnt by now.
