Blackdog, i guess your idea of a functioning sim is different to mine.

Dont get me wrong Blackdog i like reading your posts, but to me they are a fantasy rose tinted version of CLOD that i dont see when i fire up CLOD.
I hope your right and CLOD turns into the greatest sim of all time, i just see a sim that is still a mess after a year of patches.

And I see massive slowdowns when Im looking at fire, dust and explosions, or sometimes, when more planes are low over cities. And most settings I have on med (plane model and textures set on high).

Alot of people do, some are prepared to wait for the patch, others won't stop bleeting on about it just in case we have forgotten about them.

p.s. not an attack at anyone personally.......wouldn't want more angry PM's

Tvrdi.. this happens to almost everyone.. and I realise people don't want to drop the setting.. but in your case going to 1680x1050 might help. This don't kill the eyecandy all that much, and aids in spotting contacts.Also set buildings detail to low.. trees off. Also set in the 1c docs folder config file. "drawifnotfocused=0...to 1. Seems to help with shimmering.. and gameplay smoothness. Give it a shot, and let us know how it worked for you.

Agh 1680 look terrible on 24" screen with native res 1920...buildings to low? ill try...trees, roads and grass I already turned OFF....SSAO OFF too....

Whats my point from earlier post? I have more than a decent rig and really I shouldnt be forced to set almost all to med or low just to be able to play...thats silly...all other games including very demanding ARMA2 and ROF are runnig rocket fast...
yes I know well get optimisation patch....thats my hope.....thanks for teh suggestions mate

I really wish people would stop to compare CoD with other games, which by far don't reach the area or the number of objects in CoD.

Apples and oranges!!

Good point..

On that note, I just got done playing RoF for about two hours..

And in that time I got only one CTD

But I didn't run to the RoF forums and complain, I simply rebooted and rejoined the RoF server and continued to have fun.
