Who knows maybe they will feel so good after the hug that they take a whole day off of whinning? With that said.. We need to start a list.. or better yet let them take a number to get in line for a hug.. That or let the rest of us vote on who needs the hug the most.. Maybe a Hug a whiner day of the week thing.. Something like a poll where the rest of us get to vote for which whinner is in most need of a hug this week.. Hmmm.. No that probally wont work because each week Tree_UK is sure to get the most votes.. Probally best that we just have them pick a number.. Than we can have them line up and go down the line and give each one a big hug

Would that make you a Tree-hugger?

I would like to see a single post where someone with a 'positive' experience has claimed it must be the same for everyone, but the ones with a 'negative' experience are always very damning and totalitarian.

check any of lobisomen post. 2 or 3 days ago he psoted a video and i made notice that building popping should be fixed. he told he had none on his game, and how the bad transacitons between See/not see buildings, lego buildings was a actually a positive thing.

I would understand if in my settings i had buildings popped (i dont have buildings at all in my graphic settings, jsut 4 poly blocks. ) but him, who claims COD runs so perfectly, and its just plain good, and how everyone should "just buy a pc", i wouldnt expect this issues.

Lol is this still going on?

Robtek dude seriously, you need to calm yourself down and get of that stallion of yours...

If people play this game ok and they install the patch which makes it worse what do you expect them to do? Where do they vent, discuss? Ring luthier up?

If someone new decides to try this game and it runs like shyte on the 'recommended' settings where do you want them to vent, discuss etc etc, do you see where im going.

This is a forum and people do not go on forums and say how great things are cuz they are busy playing the dam game for the most part.

You go on about damaging the game, you sir are doing it tenfold by your assumptions and accusations, as for AoA, I really don't have any words for someone like that, absolute ***k and the word 'boring' fits quite well.

You will be waiting a long time if you don't want people coming on here and venting...fact so I suggest you leave and stay away for a whole cuz it won't stop and if your so naive to think it damages the game then so be it.

These types of threads are boring now, people don't just post a thread saying "this game sux, don't buy it" and I'm afraid human nature doesn't make someone be calm when something they are a FAN about doesn't work or has now broke after a patch.

Seriously this "I'm the protector of everything CoD" attitude is getting old very quickly.

I would hate this game to fail, but seeing this type of rubbish is just as bad...yes it was broke on release, get over it, accept it and move on. I'm glad you Robtek and many other contribute with crash reports, well done but that makes you no more of a 'fan' then someone who is frustrated at the game and is venting on the 'games' forum

Get over it

They own the truth and if CoD dies without enough money they are proven correct.

That are no fans, that are people which pull things down to elevate themselves.

Real fans don't whine, real fans write bug reports with documented facts and try to help the devs and the community!

CoD was a premature baby, but look how it has developed already.

The next official patch will, imo, elevate CoD to a full fledged sim, where the devs can start to get the icing on the cake.

But that is just my opinion, which is shurely not shared by everybody.

Hi robtek

as you know we had some differences about the game in the german ubi forums and i have to admit there was a time i was pretty much fed up with CloD.
Well patience is not really what i have most in my life. sry for that.
But i still support the game and the idealism which made it possible, but there are some other things which make me still very much angry, not about the game its more about 1c itself and their behavior in the past since the release.

I realy do hope you are right about the next patch, i realy do.
Otherwise from us here at the forums nobody knows exactly how much damage the pretty bad release state from Clod did to further addons or further flight sim projects by 1c at all.
Damaged reputation can kill not even future 1c Flight sims it also can kill the developer itself but this is not the fault from the so called "whiners" there is only 1c to be accounted for. Hope not.

Every patch is told that the next will be better, I don't see it better with lower fps and stutters like hell.... If the next will not fix all that I am sure robtek you'll come here and say again "next patch".... my patience is gone now...

Look we all know that Oleg and Luthier told some great big lies in the past regarding how great and wonderful this game would be, but that is in the past, We have seen some progress in the last few months, the game looks better and runs better and also crashes a lot more for me and many of those I fly with, but at least all the lying has stopped now, just ask the Community manager.

I have to admit i fell in this trap:

Lol, good choice

There's a couple more you can take with yet too if you like

As I've said before, I like this game 450flying hours says so, I also help here In the forums but I also shout if I need to and think its a valid reason.

All I'm saying is people need to stop trying to be the forum police and leave the forum for people that wanna help or they wanna vent, that's what forums are for and have always been.

Most of the arguments now are about certain people not admitting game was broke on release, whatever way you look at it, try and cover it up, digest it those are the stone cold facts so if someone rants on about that don't call them liars and come up with some rubbish excuse as to why their cause and thought process isn't just.

Then we would all get along wouldn't we

I have fallen for this game. Have you guys flown at the crack of dawn, watch the sun rise out of the east. I did, it was awe-inspiring event in this Sim.

but, I can't find my screen shots? I moved the steam folder and contents to another partition and now the screen shots they take but there missing.

I have had that problem. Screen shots seem to end up in odd places, at the moment they are going to the game root folder found in steam. Sometimes I have to do a search using the date the shots were taken as that is included in file name to winkle the little beggers out.

From that I can only think that the so called 'whiners' are fans of the game, and want it to succeed, but are adult enough to realise there are huge problems with the game, but still fly it anyway. Even Luthier is embarrassed about it enough to apologise.
The 'fanboi's' on the other hand just come here to argue, and are nowhere to be seen online.
And no, sitting in your bedroom at your moms house waiting for her to call you down to dinner whilst defending CoD at all costs does not make you a big man on the internet, even if you do call yourself ace...
And listen up kids, the plural of whine is 'whiner', NOT 'whinner' which makes no sense at all in the English language. Ask your teacher about it tomorrow.

Well said mate.
As Luthier said too:

"If we didn't listen to criticism, Il-2 would never in a million years get to where it did back in 2001.

So please keep it coming. "

This is the underlying point. Fan-bois who praise the game will not improve it. Fans who post constructive posts about areas in need of improvement will. And for the record, when a topic has been created arguing that terrain could be improved, I and others have always supported our posts in such topics with research and personal, first-hand observations.

And, to prove that I am a fan (because apparently you have to round here ) I gave Oleg and Luthier pages and pages and pages of research for the RAF flight-kit represented in-game (even if they didn't do as good a job as they could have done, given my research...) I seeked to improve the game in the most constructive, relevent way possible for myself.
Has robtek done this? Who thinks people like me are seeking to ruin the game?

No, but I don't care if he has! I know he loves the game and that's awesome! Really, I'm happy for him. I want this game to succeed. But can't he, and others, understand that some of us have different approaches to wanting this game to succeed?

S!
