Haha that is the most hilarious overestimate since The Church of Scientology last claimed their number of practitioners.

The game would be doing very well to manage to sell 200K copies worldwide, period. Some crazy little IL-2 forum is hardly an indicator for average gaming demographics. There are tens of millions of steam users. I absolutely guarantee that the game will sell more copies during its first steam special (usually happens within a year of release) than the total number of people even registered on whatever forums you are talking about.

Especially as the forum community "die hard fans" cancel their pre orders at every minor rumor looping around here ;)

Very good news,
but saying our anger was misplaced is kind of silly.
Obviously, the anger was properly placed and the people who could make this go away made it go away. Without that anger, no change.

But I realize that 1C has to say what it has to say.

Will the filter protect me from this?

Actually, will anything protect me from that rap crap??

Epi Pen injected into Steam this morning Australia time.
 

Hi all,

I am in Melbourne Australia and Luthier Epi pen has been jabbed into my Steam account with success.

I was getting 10-18fps in a single mission over the water attacking bombers. Now I am getting 25-35 fps on Medium settings 1980x1080.

Sli still not working correct. When it is on I get black screens and menus do not show unless my mouse moves over the words. So for now switch SLI off.

Still need to upgrade to an i7 this weekend i think.

I am not sure if it is my game or not, but it seems that the graphics (even turned full on to very high) do not reflect that in the game. It is like the lods or actual high graphics settings do not take effect on screen so if I pause the game and look at a flack gun on ground the model looks like it is drawn in very low detail and not very high detail.....

Maybe this is to be fixed in a patch on the 1st of April..

Anyway... I can fly on medium settings now but of course fps dip to 2fps when you shoot up a plane or 5 bombers decide to change course.

Love your work at 1c. Well done Luthier and Oleg. Can't wait for this to be optimized.

my pc (Maybe below par for this game????) But I can no way see how I can even get a still frame to look as good as the images on other videos or the Dev diary video. any clues??
