Describe issues with BOB COD that need patch - for Oleg, Luthier

[Orpheus]

Spec: Windows 7 64bit / 4Gig DDR3 @ 1333mhz / 2 x ATI 5770 / Core i5 @ 3.6 gig o/c


Issues:

Awful stuttering, texture pop-in and appalling framerate of 5-15 on low/medium settings, worse on higher. Completely unplayable over land, barely playable over sea on any resolution. Total slideshow on anything higher than 1200 x 800. I'm well within the recommended specs and I literally cannot play the game at a decent resolution. All of this is with a single GPU, though of course crossfire makes no difference at this point.

If I alter the conf.ini to the following from stock:

DrawIfNotFocused=1
&
Render=D3D9

I can run the DX9 version at 1900x1200 with far less stuttering (barely noticeable over fields, heavy over london) and around 20 fps, which was *almost* playable if over fields/sea - but it looks horrible.

Not sure what's going on, but something is horribly wrong with this product.
