you should be concious they are a few developper to maddox game and they still work to optimized this soft before debug...

so... it's time to change your PC config, it could be great to dev stop optimize now and start to debug and re-able feature disabled
I honestly have upgraded once, I came from Nvidia 260 and 4 GB RAM.

I stop with this game, it's running 60+ fps in some conditions then goes from that much to 1 fps.

Too much things wrong appart from that, I do fly it too, but everytime, my concentration goes down because of one bug or another, no matter what, it cannot be immersive like it should be.

Still can play the small maps like island ones. But it's like using 1% of this sim.

HARDWARE.

hmmm, not sure i agree with this.

I've an i7 overclocked, a GTX580 overclocked and while I can play it fine, there are still many bugs that make it a less than satisfying experience for me still. with every beta i try it, yet to be blown away.

trees, clouds, hit effects, smoke, dm's, fm's, the Clod shuffle, lack of aa...........

I'll keep trying the updates, but no one in my squad is playing it anymore, myself included.

everyone plays HSFX6, Rof or DCS.

One day though, it hopefully will be a one hell of a game.

The fact that we have had a number of beta patches indicates that the devs are conscious that it requires improvement, didn't fullfil anyones expectations and so work continues. I fully expect it to take a while to get right but in the meantime I will enjoy and appreciate the aspects of the game that leave the others behind.

For sure there are also some frustrating aspects but it is playable, for me anyway. I still like the occaisional sortie in IL1946 - a great sim and CloD will be as well so hang in there.

That's just a mess. I'm starting to be so disapointed with CoD, I just pray they finish it one day.

Too many areas of th game, not only performance. Further i'm not running lower hand computer, it runs many recent games very decently.

It's unbelievable such a situation.

Unbelievable.

And moreover, it's so much promizing game, it's just not far from being one of the best sim, it just does'nt work yet, and this is a more than 12 months old "yet".

Blacksix ? Ilya ? Please do stabilize the game in all its parts, the graphic engine, the airplanes performance, it's just not fair to have it like that today.

My teamates and I we're trying to get the team fight on coms, just can't concentrate on flying ! Just can't do it.
... 100% agree, I also dont have outdated hardware, I can play the latest games without any problems, just CloD wont run as it should. Warping and disappearing planes etc., etc., etc., ... the list of issues is endless and more than one year after release, these issues have not been fixed, no matter how many beta patches have been released since. This cuts the fun of flying this sim down to zero for me.

I fear your desperate call is like talking to the wind. I´d recommend you play other games while waiting until this one gets fixed one day.

I don't see much improvement with the new grafics engine on my system. And the old one looks better, too. To me it seems a waste of precious developer resources, that should better have been put into fixing more gameplay issues.

At least they have implemented some goodies in that regard. Namely F-16 barrel roll gone, JU-88 gyro and vector to target and homeplate radio command working somehow. Is the mp CTD fixed now? As I don't fly multiplayer atm (no coop gui) I can't tell.

On any account it is not much for the 9 months it took the devs to do it.

I would just like to ask a question regarding the new graphics engine. I remember it was said in one of the friday updates that it was going to be over or around 1gb in size, but when we did get the beta patch it was only 250 or so MB. But it seems people are still having the same problems that the re-write was supposed to fix are still being experienced. Any idea's why the re-write was alot smaller than initially suggested? or is it 1GB across multiple patches?

Dont get me wrong, it works great for me and im quite happy with it, even on my old pc it did as well (except the tree's, but that doesnt bother me). Im only asking this out of pure curiosity, and also as alot of ppl seem to be mentioning it lately (the new re-write).

To think that the devs aren't aware of the issues that CLoD has is silly, to be honest, as is people's tendencies to get their knickers in a twist because of it. Then again, that's MY opinion on the case

While I patiently wait for CLoD to become better, I'm over in DCS' KA-50. You want a learningcurve that's absolutely vicious and flying that's completely unforgiving? The Black Shark will give you that, and more.

i'm agree too...
they should start the debug now... and when all is done ( debug and feature ) and polished, i'm sure the Intel 9 came and the game will be playable without stutter
