You have to wonder why some people are having problems especially with much better newer PCs than mine.
Perhaps its the bigger or more is better mentality, ie if you try to run at max settings and superhigh resolutions you can expect problems, also if you of the opinion that "why should i turn settings down just to play this game" you also dont believe you should turn off background processes, clean up and defrag drives and clear out caches.

my rig.

win7 home premium 64bit
X64-based PC
intel Core 2 Quad cpu Q8300 @ 2.50GHz(4CPU)
4 Gig RAM
DX 11
NVIDIA Geforce GTS 250 (1 Gig RAM)
Saitek AV8R joystick
TrackIRv5

As you see its not cutting edge is it !

Please, could you post your in game video settings? Thanks,

Iv had good performance myself from day one, without turning much of mind u, and im starting to feel the need to ask u and other in your situation what u are doing wrong. I never deleted any catches, defraged folders and hoopty dooda etc.

Fm not fine? I wouldn't know, iv never flown a WWII bird but please fill me in on the obvious flaws.

Dm not fine? I wouldn't know, iv never shot at a WWII bird but please fill me in on the flaws.

Look, i really don't know what you and others are expecting performance wise from a game this "heavy"? Cant fly through smoke? Turn graphics down or buy a new pc, seriously, is that something new that came just because CloD was released and they are somehow responsible for it? Ever tried original Crysis or Metro maby? Have you posted the same demands on their forums? Sure, they can gain a frame or two here and there (witch btw is more than u can say for Crysis or Metro) but if you are expecting a 50% increase all of a sudden without sacrificing settings your pc cant handle or buy a new pc for that matter, well, then you are dreaming.

You might as well blame your car for getting you a speeding ticket.

Im having lag and freezes on 10 year old games, what makes CloD so special its now unacceptable and more importantly, what is Luthier and team suppose to do about it? CloD works better than ever for a lot of people and constantly spamming the forums of issues you (dont mean just you or just performance) are having like its a general problems wont fix it. Its NOT a general problem.

Dude, what are you going on about..?

This was a Beta being tested Yes? the Beta being tested produced stutters which i never had before in close action situations..im reporting it along with lots of others

Turn eye candy down....erm...NO i dint before theis Beta and im sure not going to because the Beta that created turns into an official release...Do you know how silly that sounds?

The rest youve posted makes no sense to me in sorry.. il sum it up for you though

before BETA that were were TESTING = no stutters at close quarters at MAX settings

After bETA that we were TESTING = Stutters at close quarters at MAX settings..

But I do hear what your trying to imply...I now need to turn GFX settings down because they have now introduced something that will make the game run worse....then include it in a official release

lol nice one

This is the best news I've heard for ages -am thrilled you guys are going to fully support stereoscopic 3D. Many years ago (back when nVidia's stereoscopic drivers also supported OpenGL) I loved playing IL2:FB in 3D and it will be great to finally be able to play IL2:COD in the same way.

Can I just make one small request with regard to its implementation? Can you please ensure that the text labels/icons next to other aircraft (which tell you their range etc) are drawn at the same depth as the corresponding aircraft and not at screen depth? (Having these drawn at screen depth was the one flaw in 3D with the earlier IL2 series and was really really distracting as it forces your eyes to continually refocus as you look from the aircraft to the label and back).

Also, is there any chance of seeing some 3D screenshots in the more common .jps format? (I have nVidia 3D Vision glasses and a 3D projector but was unable to view the .png files in 3D).
Many thanks,
DD

P.S. I think this can be viewed as a really positive step even for those who don't yet have 3D compatible setups, as it suggests the team are thinking ahead to a long future for the series. Even if your current TV or monitor doesn't support 3D, the next one you buy almost certainly will and for a series like IL2 to thrive in the long run, 3D support will be essential.

exellent, thanks for that news and +1 for this 3D performance upgrade idea.
Shure all the haerts from 3D experienced players stoped for a moment.
Myself is flyn Ka50 on stereoscopie, and its the most effective tool, to bring the sim more alive, i ever found !

Respect

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that.

Yes it is mind boggling, the people who don't have it, especially for this game don't know what they are missing out on.

Please make a couple of AI planes flyable soon!
