I'm using a 560ti. Spends most of its time running Battlefield 3 maxed out just fine. Scores at or above expected values for all the benchmarks I have run on it.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

In other news, guess I will check back in a few months. The bar is set so low at this point nearly anything out of these guys is an unexpected surprise.

Yes, I know. We will try)

May i ask a pure technical question? What is the polygon-count of the sequel's planes? Compared to the CloD a/c engine models, the cylindrical and the rounded parts seem to be simpler. I have no problem with it, looks really good! I'm just curious how many polygon is made up of a fighter aircraft, for example? Clod and BoM?

Hi!
Well, I'll ask, but I can not do it before Tuesday. Please remind me about it through private messages.

Thanks Blacksix and Luthier for the update.

A word to those finding fault, I'm not normally that bothered about people expressing their opinions, but after what is a very decent update with an in-depth report from Luthier on the difficulties they are encountering I'm amazed to find people throwing it back in his face. All you armchair software development experts who think you personally know better...! Take a look at yourselves.

"So we continue to work, quietly and privately."

Here is a constructive proposal : put on the table all that you have so far and let people download and try your alpha or beta and get the feedback, that will speed up development!... It has been done before by other developers!

Whats difficult to understand is that from what I have read there was no memory leak before the last patch, is that correct? If so how hard can it be in finding out what caused the problem, surely you just go back and add the coding bit by bit and test it until you discover what is causing the problem, assuming you have someone working on it constantly it should be easily fixed until the next patch is ready. What the game needs now is people playing it and being positive, I played Il2-FB last night and there were 300 people in hyperlobby and only 26 in Cliffs of Dover servers. Get the game working and this will change dramatically, surely that makes good business sense.

...some of us purchased games before!...may I suggest you have a look at what else its available in the industry and how it is delivered!

Could you also ask what model file type and software they use, thanks

[JG52Krupi]

Clearly a lot of trolls who have no idea about CAD, open yours eyes and realise RoF has nothing on CoD models... Why you ask well just look at a ww1 aircraft and compare it to a ww2 aircraft there is simply much much more to be modelled.. But hey ignorance is supposed to be bliss right so just carry on trolling.

Well maybe I don't, but if I can run this thing smoothly using XP with only 2GB of memory and an ancient card then there must be something significantly wrong with your system OR you're expecting too much in terms of detail settings.

Just because you can run battlefield on full doesn't mean you can do the same with CloD in it's current unoptimised state. The product is very resource hungry at present but you can play it smoothly if you reduce resolution and detail settings.
