Here's a radical re-interpretation of the current situation. (I can hear the chuckles already, but hang with me for a second)

There is a possibility that we are over-reacting by mistakenly putting 2 issues together that are not as related as they first appear.

The facts so far:

We know from luthier that the epi thing causes reduced fps

we know that some people on the Russian forum had issues.


Here's the possibility:

The Epi thing causes a fps hit – and wipes out the SLI crowd, as acknowledged by Luthier, but the main reason for the rash of initial low fps dis-satisfaction is more down to people making bad set-up choices in the (very) early days (actually - hours and minutes) of a new release. Took me a few days to get old il-2 looking and running well when I first got it.

For evidence - check out Buzzsaw's thread and some new postings from Nike-it - People being told to turn off dynamic weather!!? and reduce the buildings and trees settings a little, then getting decent results.

In this scenario, Luthier’s post isn’t the mea culpa for releasing a game that won’t run at all, that we’ve all taken it to be. It’s an acknowledgement of an issue that is detrimental but not the main reason for the initial wailing.

Let’s wait at least to the end of the first day to see what develops.

I rate all this as an outside possibility at this point, and I’m not going back to my Mr Happy avatar just yet, but there is a chance that we have over-reacted a little too quickly as this whole doom-mongering thing has snowballed.

finally a post that makes REAL sense. I have the same feeling.

What happens if the game is so good that they can't stop playing it even when their lightbulb starts to flicker and induces a fit.

What if I love the game so much that I don't get much sleep and then fall asleep at the wheel of my car the next day, can my wife sue UBI.

It is all rollox, put a big warning sign on the package as rides do at funfairs etc
