Constructive explanation of issues

[tillobert]

I can´t use my radio. It simply doesn´t work.
Also the mission-scripting in the campaign seem to bee a little bit .... crazy.I tried to play the first 3 missions and yeah the bombers aren´t dropping their bombs and so on...
But nevertheless I have great fun with the FMB

With some performance issues fixed, the most important now is to solve the A.I.
and radio communications problem, so we can enjoy the game.

Thank you!

OK, besides the buildings causing stutters and smoke and dust causing massive fps drop which are the biggest issues here are some others:

- unable to select/save loadouts and skins

- the irvin jacket goes through the side of the Spitfire

- Please do something about the engine sounds

- Radio chatter: it's unintelligible, and my wingmen don't care about my orders either

- Mixture in Hurricane is reversed

- Spitfire MKIa should have a CS prop, let's leave the 2 pitch one to the MKI
now it's basically the same plane

-AI - please, not these barrel rolls again!

-Clouds: they cause stuters and FPS drop when they come into view for the first time. They don't look any better than il2 coulds so I dpn't understand...

-can we have overcast weather or heavy couds please?

-wind: it's so strong that it turns my Spitfire into the wind on the ground.

Game had fair to bad perfomances before patch. After patch it worsened, and now freezes during mission loading.

My computer is a Mac Pro 5.1
OS Windows XP, 32 bit.
Quad-core Intel Xeon, 2.8 GHz
Cache L2 256 MB x 4
Cache L3 8MB
Ram 6 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770
VRAM 1024 MB
Monitor Apple Cinema Display 27 Inches, 2560 x 1440

Note: as any Intel Mac, it can be switched between Mac Os and Windows Os (both installed). It perfom flawlessly with Il2 Sturmovik.



EDIT: updated ATI Radeon driver. Looks like this solved main trouble, as now the game run regularly, smooth over water, with lower frame frate and occasional stutter on land.

I cannot load or record tracks. This issue has persisted from first install, beta patch and steam released patch.

After starting a mission I press escape to get to the menu and click the text to start recording. The game freezes after that and I have to end the launcher.exe process with the tast manager.

I downloaded some .trk files and placed them in the records directory in my documents folder. When I go to tracks and click select nothing happens, apparently for other people they are able to browse for a track to play. I just have nothing but the text on the screen and the background image. The game does not freeze at this point.

My system:
Windows 7 Pro - 64bit
i7-2600k
16 Gb ram
gtx580 1.5Gb
game installed on SSD.

Systems is a fairly freshly installed, about 2 months ago.

Prior to the patch I had managed to get the game running reasonably well with Forests = off, Grass = off, Shadows = off and Buildings = Lowest.

After the patch it's stuttering badly again, even with the above settings and after doing the right click on the launcher.exe to change that setting mentioned in the patch thread.

Not allowed to rant or complain, so that's all...

1. Implement Force Feedback.

2. Problems recognizing all available axes on multiple controllers (intermittent)

3. Could use SSAO checkbox option in Video Options, at least until you can get playable framerates.

4. Non-native video resolutions don't scale properly.

5. Separate Shadows options for cockpit, forest/buildings, terrain would be nice (Gotta have the cockpit shadows but can live without the rest for now) if possible.

6. Launcher.exe crashes everytime whenever restarting application after video option change

7. Oh and FORCE FEEDBACK (just in case you forgot).

8. Somebody please get in touch with Vincent or somebody over at NaturalPoint to add in a TrackIR profile for CoD.

There's a ton more but besides the obvious major performance issues like hitching, the rest can wait.

Go to Launcher.exe properties, compatibility tab, uncheck Disable Visual Decoration.

Nice find! Works great now, although the setting was called "Disable Visual Themes" for me.

Going to post this advice in some other threads with people having a similar problem.

Thanks!
