what a joke

[louisv]

There is a lot about this on the forums, obviously something is wrong with your installation, or you have hardware issues...or?...

When I installed it, everything went fine and so it did with the large majority of people, but I agree there are a lot of issues and the game can be frustrating when you set it up first as there are bugs aplenty.

Also be warned if you use the CEM, that there are four types of propellers that react differently etc...

The mix of bugs, ill chosen or non-existent defaults, illogical menu choices, and propeller and engine complexity is a little disconcerting at first...

But once that is done, it's a great game with issues that will be solved in the next few weeks...and months. I play at least an hour everyday and I love the amazing DM, and the satisfaction of hitting is the best aspect of this game.


But if the installation itself (North American release version in my case) doesn't go correctly, its not the game.

thanks for the help i will try deleting those files and then getting it to repair it self....yea these problems came out of no where it just happened, using the mission builder and going in to single missions menu to play them and check them, it worked last night and now today even after restarting my computer it still wont work....this is a joke...

seriously they are taking 2 months to make a sound fix patch...how about they fix the game it self, at this point they can have little 8bit nintendo beeps and i would be satisfied, as long as i can fly the plane with the damage model and so on...(also every realism setting EXCEPt FOR CEM is on) assuming i can actually play the game....

here is a hint and it dosent take much common sense...when the users cant even access the basic features of the game (such as being able to play it) they dont care about things like sound other other features that are extra beyond the game it self working as intended....

its like you make a movie, and the movie is a blank screen, but you spend all your time making sure the sound is good???


logic anyone???any one see any logic here???

You seem to think that everybody has the same problem you have...but they don't.

where did i say this...the only thing that i seem to think is that many people have random issues with this game (i also seem to think not very highly of you people as well, developers excluded, they are fine and i want something from them so i will be nice for now)....and these seem to be random issues...one day it works fine and the next its screwed up...of course since they are random errors, only a minority will have any given error at any given time...

I think your wrong man.. The game has problems.. and ever so often I get crashes on load of a mission/map. The game is bugged to death. Dont act like he isnt bringing up valid points because there is other people that are having these problems and MUCH MANY more different problems.

Yeah we have learned to worked around them by now for the people who has had it much longer.. But what a pain in the ass it has been..

I had crashes, I had problems and there are workarounds for some, I still have crashes but I can play it. The problems described here are that the game does not start. I can play it, I do and its fun but it does have a slew of bugs as did Il-2. If you fly A10-C since the start, you know it took months to iron out the bugs. Just be patient, when a dev makes a new visual system, its always rough the first year.

I know all about the old IL-2 and other sims that have bugs at the start. I have full patients with this sim.. you have to.. and thats what I was saying in the first place.

need to know your system specs if you want any help, are you running the game in dx9, what operating system?

[ATAG_Doc]

I'm curious as to what your system specs are.

[tk471138]

well part of the problem is i use dx9 and win xp 32bit, i have heard that would help

my settings
1920x1080 monitors native res
full screen set to ON
model detail high
building " low
land " med
forest very low
vis effect med
texture quality original (dont know what this is original vs high medium and low, i must have missed the memo that explained it)
AA off
epilepsy off
ssao unchecked
vsync unchecked
damage decals medium
building amount low
land shading medium
grass and shadows box not selected (off)
roads on

specs
amd athlon 64 x2 6400+ 3200 mhz am2 on asus m2nsli delux
500watt psu antec
3.37 gb ram, pc2-5300 (4 G installed, again im on 32 bit win xp sp3, been meaning to ask on asus forum how others with my board have done with getting win 7 and getting drivers and compatibility and so on)
evga nvidia geforce gts 450 1gb (got it for free from evga)


obviously not much is worth upgrading, i might as well start out with new motherboard capable of higher speed ram and newer CPU, probably when i get out of college in a year. my system should be adequate to play the game i would imagine.



I can play the game fine especially on the smaller maps, and not over the cities...and it was indeed good fun once i realized i should give it another go and use my own little created missions, i was in fact quite pleased that i could finally shelve 1946 for the time being. Its not playing the game that seems to be ruined although artifacts and other such things tend to appear, i can live with those while they fix things. Its when i say open a map up on the mission builder that it screws up or when i press single missions nothing appears, i press altf4 and the little "close program, yes/now box comes up, and it goes to half of what single missions window should have. What is not displayed is the left side which is the list of missions,a random mission is selected...it dosent have much to do with my system im pretty sure the taxing part is playing the game not transitioning between menus...
