Yes.

I bought this sim at the release. Was unplayable in my old rig (Phenom x4, ATI 4850).

Patch after patch performance was improved contantly. But this improvements need some work to be made by the final user: the final user need to READ FORUM TOPICS!

If people can do simple things like don't screw the conf.ini, clear cache after/before patching and (don't know why but works sometimes) get rid of UBI logo, the game will be fluid, at least in a quadcore with 4GB of ram and one 560ti 1GB (my new VGA). People with better hardware than that that still talking crap about performance decrease after patch need to buy consoles. They will be more happy!

I have great performance, tiny stutters like IL-2 1946, great visuals, AA working after get rid of UBI logo... All ok, and the major bugs remaining we all know: sound, gameplay issues, etc. They will be solved by steps.

I'm tired of all this crap: peole pretending that 1C was screwing the sim more after each patch: it's a lie. The patching is going ok.

But people need to understand that this sim was delivered in beta stage, witha lot of bug, things to be developed, etc. And need some time reading forums to make some minor tweaks.

Put only blame devs are easier. That's why I say: go buy consoles!

well i partially agree with you.i for instance have a absolute clean install of cod.not changed anything in the conf.ini file,i do clean the cache before every beta patch install, and i deleted the ubi logo.yes deleting the ubi logo works for me.
yes each patch has its improvements,...but i had better performance before the last official patch, and thats a fact.

Yep, done all that, still runs poorly over land. The 5770 is the next thing on the list to replace, but I'm not going to yet, for the reason given above.

You will probably never run CloD fluid with this VGA in near maximum quality settings, only with medium/low quality settings. I suffer with my old 4850. But after last official patch I was able to fly OK over land with the 4850, only with some settings lower.

You will suffer patch after patch, because your VGA lacks power to run this sim.

E-1 :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

i know that i have weak hardware.
and i dont complain to not be able to run with high video settings.i never did
all im saying is that with the same settings i had much better performance before the last official patch

Gentlemen, please let's avoid bringing things down to a personal level, it gives a bad taste to a community which invests a lot of time to search for things and find solutions and shares so that people can profit from each other.

I also took the 20% on a non-serious note, my performance has improved probably less from "code improvements" than solutions I read in this forum.

As far as performance is concerned you can see my performance at 3840x in my posts

together with some tips regaridng optimising performance, unfortunately I see that it is people with ATI cards complaining so it may be ATI related , sorry I can not provide better assistance as I use NV.

Here's a black death benchmark;

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
5240, 216129, 7, 52, 24.245

Medium settings plus grass, shadows, roads.

AA off, epi off, v-synch off, ssao off.

Cache cleared, ubi logo deleted.

All CCC settings to Application Controlled / performance / high performance.

Although this doesn't look too bad, visually the whole thing jerks along over land shots, and smooths out when looking at water or sky.

Any FM changes? Tuesday review some people spoke about this, but it is not in the list.

Luthier,

I'm sorry but like many others I have supported CoD hard since its release, even to the derision of some of my friends, but this prediction is utterly depressing.

The only significant changes in this patch that affect fundamental playability are............. well, none.

Nothing in this patch addresses matters that fundamentally prevented the game being played on a sensible level and without sound the game cannot be played sensibly.

To say that the sound will take several months to fix will prevent you releasing into the USA or anywhere else until then. They would crucify you and probably consign CoD to the commercial dustbin.

I cannot think of a single fault that is damaging CoD more than this fundamental fault.

Surely you are not placing this problem into the lap of just one man for several months? Surely you have consigned this large scale sub-project to a team, perhaps including third party support as MG have done in the past?
