Well I keep dabbling in the quick/single missions, but its a real sim of two halves, I think its testing many a loyal il2 fan but I'll stick with it for now....in small goes.

True, true.



a part of me gets uber angry at the issues this game is having and it is / was preventable.

THe only thing we gots to run on is hope that because the same people (most of them) that made IL-2 great can turn it around.


I mean here we have a Il-2 veteran and an experienced forumite, and he goes and does what all the negative ninja / troll posters have been doing before.


But I do relate to the anger of the beloved successor not working when the talent of the dev team states otherwise and the anger behind of the dev's teams reasoning for dropping the ball.

However in the heart of it is a post on something we already know.

It's like stepping on a land mine when you already see it. 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Already know some people can't play it all. So a person who can't play the game and can't get it work tries to play it again.

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity.


Then everyone and even the guys in caves know sound don't work in MP. So despite knowing a known fact, the people in question hope to do the same thing by playing online on the hope that sound will suddenly work, and expecting different results, insane in the membrane. but unlike the song you guys do have brains.



I'm angry but waaahh, one (Clod) of 10,000 eggs in my basket is broken, the others are fine . . . basket is holding (that make my happiness generator) go up . Yeah, I can't install it on the uber pc at my work (for testing purposes :) ).



Maybe the positive is that the devs or the community liaison person stumble across furbs neat points, and it'll help them with prioritizing, even though they already know whats broken.

Yeah, you turned negative. Now what? Are you going to keep coming back with a "Luthier sucks" thread once in a while like the rest of the idiots?
Or maybe you have a LIFE outside the pc? Huh? You really think this helps ANYONE?
I gotta say - some of you guys are beyond pathethic. So much negativity over this game? Realy worth it? Really sad people.

Waiting a patch or two and then trying to play again, is definitely not doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Which is the feeling I got from reading this post. Unless your definition of doing the same thing is having any faith what-so-ever that this game will be playable online this year... In that case yes maybe we should just wait until Christmas.

I think its HIGHLY understandable to be vocal about your disappointment in a product you PAID for, and that the creator has failed to fix after repeated patches.

I turned the corner too, only I was going the other way. I'm really enjoying it now and yet a month ago I was really losing patience with the demands the engine was making on my machine and was ready to knock it into touch. For some reason, CTDs and that sound thing aside (which I seem to be able to get past by CTRL F2ing through enemy aircraft...go figure), the thing seems to run more or less fine on my rig. The grapchics are stunning, I find with CEM/limited ammo etc I'm just barely able to control my fighter, and I rarely get a kill whilst with Il2-46 (how I wish CloD was called Storm of War, just differentiating it from the previous Il2 seems idiotic) I wouldn't even break a sweat knocking out 4 or 5 planes with the same parameters. According to Steam I've knocked up over 200 hours with the sim open. All for the price of a meal for two at the local curry house. Yes it's got a looooooooooooong way to go but it's no coaster.

Well, your post certainly doesn't help either, so are you gonna stop posting?

I doubt it.

I had not flown online since the new patch came out, and for some time before that. I was hoping that things were improving, because if you read some of the pollyanna posters here all is just peachy.

Clearly that is not the case. But until I tried it yesterday I had no way to know that.

I will continue to try the sim after each new patch, and I will post here with my reactions to each new patch, positive or otherwise.

I don't care who approves of my posts or not.

Well as an extremely satisfied player of the IL2 series from when it first came out I purchased a new rig to play CLoD.

I am disappointed with it, but I flash it up (for about 10 minutes) every couple of weeks to remind myself how clunky it is.

I think the best words to describe my feelings when (trying to) play CLoD is that it is a bloody annoying and frustrating experience.

I have a decent rig (see specs) and have done all the fixes, new ini's, clear cache, check files, lowered everything to medium and it is still clunky with stutters.

Look what happened to Rise Of Flight after one year. An example of an unfinished game that became great.

It is a waiting game at this point for sure.
