To the kind attention of developers # Re: Performance issue

[HFC_Dolphin]

After playing a few hours with the game, it is obvious that buildings produce the huge problem in the game's performance.

I don't know if you do have a solution to make the game playable with current buildings, but if not, I think it's time to discuss alternatives.
I don't know what these may be, but I'm even ready to accept much-much smaller cities if this makes the game playable.

I understand that you want to offer everything, but please keep in mind that combat flying experience is above all and if we can't get this because 1.000.000 static buildings load and produce performance issues, then it's time to choose performance over beauty.

I believe that for the next couple of years (until new hardware's ever increasing rough power solves programming or other issues) we could all live by flying a game with smaller cities. What can't we live with, is a game where we'll be experiencing stutters all the time.
I know that things are getting better and I even managed a dogfight of 6vs6 over sea without stutters, but that is not what I want. I think that all of us want more. We want to be able to simulate huge raid attacks. We want to experience 50 or 60 planes in the air, fighting like there's no tomorrow. And in the end, we don't care whether Big Ben is in London if every time we aim to an enemy he disappears in a crescendo of video hick-ups.

Solutions might be many, you know better, please consider them and don't forget that if someone with a brand new pc can't play the game as it should, then you're already out of the market.

PS. Needless to say that if solution of current problems with current status is really near, then we'll all wait. But please don't make us wait another couple of years - it will be a nightmare.
