Tales from the mid-low end.......

[deadsmell]

update,

Ok, well, I got it to run in windowed all of a sudden. Wouldnt work before, but now it seems to be.

Oh yeah, I had the settings maxed out by mistake, (i thought they were low settings lol)

Still really choppy over land, but over the water it was very smooth. Even at the lowest settings, the water looks pretty amazing, and il-2 cliffs of dover will definitely be one heck of a game.

However I dont have sound anymore! lol. (Edit: Sound has miraculously returned, although the guns sound so bad you dont want to hear them lol)

aaarrrggghh!

Ill keep messing with it and report back any tips I can come up with.

For the record, the low settings are at the bottom of the drop down list in the video options menu.

Thanks for the tips, processaffinitymask=3 doesnt seem to be utilizing both cores, it still uses just one though. Ill keep experimenting.

windowed mode at lowest settings it seems to be using between 1.44 and 1.88 of my ram.

Like Uther said you definitely need another gig of ram. 2 gigs is not enough.

Yeah, I was initially horrified but after some tweaking with my quite tepid system it runs pretty well (over water) and it's clear that CloD's potentially an order of magnitude better than any other combat flight sim. Our North American friends, who are having to sit out the next three or four weeks, will find a much more polished and playable product in their mail boxes I hope, and within a couple of months I don't doubt the sim'll be significantly kinder to all our systems than is currently the case.
