Problems I encounter [Vista 64/E8400/4GB RAM/GTX285]:
- At least 50% of the time when I start CoD and join a server some of the menu UI doesn't work, specifically when I try to change my plane, the box comes up with the plane selection but I cannot click anything at all in the box (have to hit Esc to close it). Only a game restart can fix this as far as I can tell.
- Sometimes the same issue happens with the controls, when I double-click a control to change it the box comes up but I cannot enter anything into it (from either joystick or keyboard). Game restart usually fixes this.
- About 50% of the time when I actually get onto a server and spawn everything is immediately extremely laggy, the sound is extremely crackly and broken up, and this does not fix itself. I have to restart the game, which usually fixes it when I rejoin.
- The sound is sometimes slightly crackly. This varies depending where I'm flying (and varies generally, sometimes I don't get it at all), I think mainly over land and near dogfights.
- I appear to get memory leaks, quite often after flying for quite awhile I will respawn into a new plane, and everything will be laggy and crackly and I'll have to quit. Last time this happened I looked at my memory usage, and it was 3.7GBs/4Gbs. Pretty clearly a memory leak.
- And now all my controls and UI settings (the boxes in game) have randomly reset, but at least that's not a common occurrence (yet).
It's testament to Cliffs of Dover's good qualities that I keep playing, given how severe and frequent these problems are, but it would be awfully nice to have them fixed please!
