What needs upgrading if I get launcher crashes when more than 30 people are on game?

Hi there,

Low on cash so am looking for specific answers or clues as to what needs upgrading on my pc so I can run with more than 35 people.

Win 7
AMD X2 260 3.2ghz
4gb
HD6670 1gb

I run the game on full low settings (except for model detail and damage decals which are on medium) which seems to help as I can play for a little while but shortly it will give the launcher.exe crash. Below 20 people I basically can play for as long as I want and it will seldom crash. Despite bad frame rates I can play with hundreds of ai aircraft no problem.

Thanks in advance for all help and suggestions.

In case change your VGA, look at least for Geforce 660Ti.
And if possible upgrade your RAM to 8 GB - this is "cheap".

I am inclined to believed that Geforce is a better buy for CloD than Radeon.
I exchange one old Geforce GTX 250 for HD 7970 and now have annoyed graphical
bugs with this VGA: the "magic square" borders of LOD in middle of map, band in beaches
and river banks, drop of FPS with TF pach...

is it true win7 32bit only supports 8gb ram?

Windows 7/32 bits recognize up to 4 GB of RAM include memory address reserved by VGA, what mean in practice that this OS handle 3/3,5 GB of RAM.

To use more than 4 GB a 64 bits OS is need.

If you are running 32bit Win7, CoD gets only 2GB. Switch to 64bit and it will get 4GB.

Ok guys so still can't play the channel map with more than 30 guys. Really want to be able to regardless of graphics settings.

I run the game with amd x2 260 and radeon 6670. I run on low settings and it is ok but crashes when there are more than 30 guys on the server.

I don't know how cpu intensive the game is and I am wondering if I can get by with a significant performance upgrade with a gtx560ti. I have no wish to play the game on maximum settings and am simply looking to eliminate the crashes with high player numbers and get a significant performance increase when on someone's tail!

What results do you predict with this change, given the cpu? Will it solve the issue?

Many thanks!
