Game is Unplayable

[norulz]

@Klem

I get even 40FPS in that shot but to what purpose? The game looks like...

If you make the game to look a bit better in some aspects than IL2 1946 it gets utterly unplayable.

Yesterday I was chatting with a squad mate that lives in UK and he said: "I have I7 @ over 3GHz, 12GB of ram, a GT580 combined with a gt460, win 7 64, etc... and besides getting low FPS (around 30) at max settings (1920x1080) I get continuous and annoying stutters and when I get over London is finished... game over... under 10FPS." His satisfaction was in negative numbers...

This is really disturbing...I have i7920@3.5Ghz, MSI Twin Frozr2 GTX470 (OC to 750 Mhz on core) and 6GIGS of RAM, x-fi gamer, Win7 64bit....and even on med with low trees and buildings I have barely playable COD. With one plane in the air. Over sea. Sometimes its almost slide show.
Putting aside that game is released unoptimised....Will they EVER optimise this sim? Or this wil be an epic fail?

On top of everything AA is not working, sound of MG guns is too loud, external sounds are IL2 stock sounds of BF109.......is this april fools?

Weird,its running much better than that for me Tvrdi. Have you looked at all the optimisation threads here for tips on how to tweak your computer?

TBH I did what I know from my experience with sims and as beta tester....Will try to find something....is there a config.ini optimisation guide?

one pattern, going by reports from users, is that the old quad cores with lower hz rates are some of the worst performers in CoD. people with current dual core cpu's (which includes hyper threading, even if by some indications this might not be extensively used yet) seem to do much better

similar with gfx cards, single cards with 1.5 gb vram or higher seem to have no problems, but people with "sli on one card" (with each section having 1 gb vram) dont have much joy.

the older i7 cpu's might seem kool to wannabe's that havnt done their homework before plonking their money down, but these i7's strength really only lies in video encoding/decoding and other similar type applications that are specifically programmed to use them (which most games dont, and afaik there is no indication BoB/SoW will be either). they are a complete misbuy for a gaming in 2010/2011, and usually perform significantly worse then cheaper current midrange i5's (most of which have significantly higher mhz but are only dual cores).

But the true is, I have i5 750 oc 4GHz, 1600/7/7/7 RAM 4GB and GTX480 (stock clocks) and an SSD. And this sim cant run in 1920/1080. I have horrible stutters, although fps is around 30-40 (medium to low settings), on lowest possible settings also no joy. And my GPU never exceeds 95%load. There is a huge problem with coding I think.

And I also have SSD in IDE mode...got a little bit better in comparison to AHCI and A-10C is now totally smooth on almost full settings

aii, that sounds painfull. having looked around forums in the 2 few weeks there seemed to be a pattern emerging, but not the case for your situation.

the SSD seemed to be another solution to the microstutters, combined with 1.5 + gb of vram, but you got both covered

frankly, this is the reason i still havnt bought the game myself (yet i have been one of the most vocal proponents of the project). right now with all the problem reports they need to bring out some fixes SOON for me to jump in and join you lot. i still have no doubt this will be the best ww2 flightsim for years to come, but it might well take them weeks or even a few months to solve the main problems. untill then i simply dont have the time to waste on perpetually searching for fixes which cant be found till they solve the bugs. looking at some of the video's and screenshots of people who can run it well, it looks absolutely stunning when it works well. many of the new features are also pretty special, cant wait to try the fully working collimator gunsight with 6DoF

rather funny tho to see tree deliberately put more sand in his man-gina and buy it just so he can whine more. entertaining to watch, but its about time the little creep should get perm banned from this forum for his deliberate malevolent postings (which should be obvious to all now).

Zapatista, you claim to support the game, well go and buy it, your comments here will not be taken seriously until you have installed it and tried it.

I had also the too loud mgs problem. Set your sound setting to binaural...that will work...otherwise same performance problems here
