Personalty i don't care about decals and a few other things what stops me and every one else is the shuttering I mean really FIX THAT for us and patch it NOW work on the decals and visual shit after the SMOOTHNESS of PLAY (No MORE SHUTTERING) has been addressed. As for the comment of Occasional he must be talking about single player, I like shooting real players thank you, only reason i play this game.

Jimmy OUT!!! PATCH PATCH PATCH

End users don't do testing, they don't know how to. They would pick up the game and play it, then whine about how this and that doesn't work. Believe it or not, software testing is a professional area, whether or not 1C implement that into their process though is another matter.

Project C.A.R.S. seems to be doing a good job with the community (who've already personnally invested in the sim at the pre-alpha level to the tune of +500,000 Euros) doing the testing. Yes they have professionals on board for physics, handling feedback and such, as well as all the project team intermingling with the 'investors' on the feedback forums, but testing across many platforms by many users is a method thats working well so far. Whining is a strict no-no on PCars, they want positive feedback and positive viral coverage on Facebook, YouTube and the like. Whilst the COD team is probably a lot smaller there's some lessons that can be learnt from PCars and its community involvement and investment in a totally positive way.

Hope you get all those bugs in your sights and Squeeze.

Really nice update there!

I'm more than willing to wait for however long it takes to iron out these creases..... obviously I would like the patch sooner than later, mind.

Currently I can get a good framerate, though still with some annoying drops, with my shadows disabled..... I could get an even better framerate if I dropped the trees.... but I don't want to. The idea of the beta patch being released with much better performance but meaning I would have to go without tracers, bullet effects, roundels..etc....? Nope. I don't want to "go without" anything and would much rather wait until the team are happy with the results and have the full works.

Can't wait for more news! Things are looking bigger, brighter and better for the near future.

Nice news, keep it coming to prevent some skins not to get burn in the summer times...

Indeed, that would be an incredible accomplishment in any game/sim!
I am very new to CLoD and can not even say yet what kind of performance I get with my system, however whatever it will be, it is very good to know there is an update in the works that will increase it dramatically over what I would currently have.

I hope I can get things sorted enough to get some quality flying time in with what appears to be a great sim , before the patch comes out at least...

I was a big fan of IL2 FB, then PF then 1946 - and am looking forward to getting back into WWII simming again with CLoD.
Nice to see the developmental work along with the communication from them, for what is coming! Perhaps someday this sim, will get to the point they add the Pacific Theatre again which would thrill me extensively!

Unfortunately, it is not an unbelievable achievement, but rather fixing an embarrassing mistake (not being able, after six years of development, to produce a good, stable and up-to-date engine).

Those extra-frame rates are not coming from an incredible clever new way to code a render engine just discovered by MG. Not in that percent (100% performance increase). It's just (proper) render engine coding & (proper) optimization.

As it should have been actually right from the launch date!
