How to be paid off

This is a good point. It would be useful to have all the info and processes needed and gathered in one place. Perhaps it could be done on a country-by-country basis, or even continent-by-continent?

Perhaps the Mods might like to sticky it?

I really wish that all complainers get their money back!!

The forum would be full of harmony.




Of course that will happen only in my fantasy.

yes, that was introduced with a patch and not part of the original release..... but everybody here already knows that (it has been mentioned time after time after time after time after time after time)

Agreed. If everyone was a little more mature and rational in their responses, the bickering would disappear fairly quickly.

I don't know, I think it is starting to happen already. The recent mis-fire over the old patch has only served to highlight the need for rapprochement and camaraderie, and things seem to be improving. The moaners are starting to fall away - or at least disappear - one by one.

+1

Agreed. Thank you for high-lighting this. We need more of this style of policing, it will help keep the whingers and moaners (who obviously have too much time on the rhands) at bay.

But what about now? The sims perfomance increased to reasonable levels after the last couple of patches.

What is the OP system specs?

When the original Il2 was released, it was unplayable on the system that I had at the time. It was so bad it wasn't until Pacific Figters was released that I revisited the series and realised what I had been missing. Even given it's shaky start the original IL2 turned into one of the best combat flight sims.

I think COD will soon be taking it's place.

Unrealistic = false. System requirements should reflect the requirements necessary to play the game and at that they failed.

That hasn't change much (yet). Thus I said it maybe never will.

IL-2 was different. A different age even. And monitors with resolutions from back in these days don't exist anymore. You'll have a very hard time finding anyone with anything less than 1680 on a desktop computer. On top of that no one has a CRT anymore and with flat screens you can't use a different resolution. Well, you can but it looks like crap mostly.
The tools to test and make games have evolved also. And let's not forget the lessons learned while making the games of the past (IL-2 comes to mind as an excellent game of it's genre). There are even services to test hardware compatibility and to find out what exact system requirements are appropriate.

I agree with you though. CoD is the future and it's a great game - I only wanted to remind the poster I quoted that the system requirements have nothing to do with the games performance. The game runs poor even on cards way better then the requirements and most likely will even after the patch since the patch will scale much better on high end system than it will on low end machines.
