Cliffs of Dover, a Year Later

Back OT. I've backed off these threads and boards in general simply because what is being discussed is for the time being an endless repitition of what has been said many times before. The forums won't move forward until the game does.

Yah OT ...but interesting.. I flew a custom MP mission tonight for over an hour after I flew a stock SP mission that crashed after 9 minutes

If you have an AMD Card...try Land Shading on Low and see if that helps eliminate the shoreline artifacts... that worked for me

I was referring to a quote from a Ubi representative.

"Ok, just had another phone call from Phil Brannelly he has confirmed what most of us already knew, Ubisoft are no longer involved with SOW period"

It just sounded like a contradiction to me.

Maybe he meant on the development side and not the publisher side.

Agree, and the most interesting part is actually that someone still sponsors the development which is all I really care about. What people here seems to forget is that things can change very fast when investors get tired... From one month hiring staff to taking down the sign the other happens all the time...

Thanks,

Dropping the clockspeeds on myGTX570 (in DX10 mode) did it for me. Just a fraction from stock. Don't know how it would be with multiplayer and I dont know why it works. Temps were cool and everything else I have runs fine on stock clocks. Weird.

We cannot wait to prove our detractors wrong, crush the competition, and give our fans what they are looking for with our next major release!

Hmm... I found this quite similar to one wrong strategy, historically proven - lets try England - hm, didnt work out, lets move to Moscow...


Btw... does it mean, your team of great programmers will give next major release as Free to Play? Or at least some demo first, just to check if we have too old PCs for it? Just hope you will prove "detractors" wrong by releasing demo, not alpha as final product...

That's unfair. Ilya showed the right motivation, I cannot help understanding your analogy apart from the theaters of operations.

Were you hoping that he'd offer to surrender?

777 Studios - Jason
( This is probably a bit OT & unsollicited,but...
I just wanted to say what a good job I feel 777 studios is doing with RoF,in particulat their website design,whicj makes good clear announcements from time to time & show plenty of screenshots of up & coming features.Although I can't say I'm fond of buying new aircraft,at least the store makes it easy to do.It seems like a very professional out fit.
All this and a steadily improving Sim too. RoF hit the market a very flawed Game , but after a year's time it was clear it was in the market to stay. I really wish the folks at Clod can follow 777's example. )

Careful what you wish for..Im OK with DLC but would rather not be forced into that option to carry on enjoying a game

Ze-Jamz-
You're right-RoF's not perfect (& I get shot down a lot too,while trying to see around those two rather large wings!)
I guess what I am trying to say is that they've handled teir website & releases quite a bit better than over here,& there are not nearly the number of just plain angry ,nearly unprintable emotions seen here either by people who are very annoyed at the progress of things.I think IC or Ubisoft ( whome ever...) could do a lot better job of PR than they have managed thus far.They did a nice job way back when with the original Il-2 with their Friday posts & way back at the beginning news of SoW ( now CloD) they posted regular screenshots & lots of them,but now its almost like pulling teeth .They need a more 'official " way of calming the waters with more info,telling us about what happened to other flyables in Clod & why they won't be showing up ( or will in the future,) what has caused FPS issues, when will loadouts work, Battle of Moscow ( or whatever it will be called,) & difference between it & CloD,when & if modders will be involved ( over at Il-2 - it really took off when SAS & AAS got going- they changed everything...)and perhaps more visuals,vids & screenies. It wouldn't take much , but it seems like PR & friendly marketing has eluded the developers.
Having said all of this I really enjoy the sim even with poor FPS & anxious about the up coming patch...hmmm... now about that patch...I wonder when....????
