Sorry.. I didn't mean to imply that some PCs are not experancing crashes.. What with all the variations in hardware and software these days I am not suprised at all.. What I did say is 'some' PCs are not experancing crashes.. Which to me means, CoD is now tasked to find out what is specific about those PCs that is making CoD crash.. Hence the dump files section in this forum

I'm running of a two year old system (specs in signature) and don't have the crashes. It's running as smoothly as IL2 online. (uses to stutter badly in IL2 especially when there was any Flak!)

Cheers!

I just don't get it. I have a system similar to yours but 3.6 ghz, more ram (6gig) and a later video card GTX 580 and mine stutters like mad and has poor fps whenever it gets the slightest bit busy. Fps tanks over London and whenever I start destroting prey with my guns.

I haven't been near London and stay at reasonable height over other big towns where possible. I haven't noticed stutters when I'm shooting other planes, though on the rare occasion the other plane warps out of my gun sights, which can happen before I pull the trigger and I've put down to the Print Screen ploy!

There are a lot of funny inconsistencies which will hopefully be removed when they put out the new graphics engine.

One of the few things I have remembered from my career as a computer programmer is that it's easy to fix an error that can be consistently reproduced. Intermittent errors are the hardest ones to fix.

Cheers!

Just more proof that the PC is more than likly at the root of most peoples problems.

The PC is at the root of everyones problem, there is no other machine to play the game on. Its pleasing to know that the odd one or two are able to play this game, but ive not seen any of you online other than Skoshi. The game is still broken, to disagree with that makes you look dumb. If it wasn't broken they wouldn't be fixing it.

I see El often on ATAG, Tree sometimes and some others. But maybe many don't use the same nick, and others are on a very far time zone.

Oh no.. many more that one or two.. There are dozens of posts by members here stating they have no problems.. And when you factor in the FACT that typically people who seek out game forums are those who are having problems.. You will understand why it only 'seems' there are more people having problems than not

Well keep in mind that there is NO STEAM REQUIREMENT that your Steam online handle must match your 1C forum handle

Well than it is a good thing that no one thus far has said there are NO BUGS in Cod

Depends on which game and developer your referring too..

Take SH5 for example.. Many bugs but the game developer has stop all support on the game..

Where as 1C has a track record of supporting its games far beyond what most would consider reasonable..

Granted 1C may not fix the bugs fast enough for some of the X-GEN sound byte att span types out there..

But not too many developers cater to those types anyway.. Other than the occasional fart sound phone app developer

Many people that fly online do not use the same login User ID on forums.

That can create some very fierce arguments. LOL

I'm the same EL everywhere...



And it's interesting that when I'm on comms with some of the guys that have had very "vocal" disagreements with me on the forum, it's all good.

As to my machine and how it runs the game.

1. Given it's age and specification I had no illusions about running the game at full chat. The fact that I can come close says more about the state of the sim than the state of my hardware.

2. I do have some performance issues, Be Sure. But none that I did not expect in the first place. Offline I can fly over London with only mild stutters, but I can fly through any bridge my Hurri will fit in with smooth contol because the stutters are not that bad. Online, if I'm over Lympne and 9 BR.20s show up with 4 or 5 109s and a fur ball breaks out and flak is all around and the bombs from the Fiats are exploding on the field, then it's a slide show, however, folks with far higher spec machines than mine are having the same issue, so again, I'm not in a twist over it. Any other time all is just fine. 18K to 20K feet with the games amazing view distance and wonderful views from up there is just fine by me.

Dogfights against small numbers of aircraft down low over Manston, not an issue.

You see Gents, it's all about expectation. My expectations are fairly realistic, given my computer, and past experience with playing the original IL2 10 years ago.

So I'm happy at this point.

Sure it could be better, but it can always be better, and it will be better in the future.
