OK, I have a very very hard time accepting your argument. I bought IL2 on the DAY it came out, played campaigns and online almost every week. When the game came out it had performance issues because it required horsepower. Personally, I never noticed ANY improvements on MY rig with patches. None. After upgrading my system it worked fine. Now, here is my rig: Quad-Core 9650 at 2.30 4GB ATI 5790 1GB DDR5 This is not an optimal system BUT with everything turned down low, I get insane stuttering even at 1280x720. I crank everything on HIGH with 1920x1080 and I get the SAME thing, there is litterary NO DIFFERENCE in performance. So I started experimenting, all settings high and 1920x1080 and deducted settings one by one. I still get the same experience when I end up on the low end with very low and 1920x1080. Sorry, there is something fundamentally wrong here when this game simply plays the same on any type of setting on my rig. I guess it is my rig but the fact that I can run games that use much more CPU power like FSX on all settings high in DX10 with max sliders except ground shadows then I guess this game simply does not like my rig. Fine. My clanmate just built a 3000 dollar rig because he races proffessionally on on-line racing leagues and flyghtsims. He gets the pretty much the same issues that I get: Buildings popping, terrain popping, stuttering on a SDD harddrive and SLI enabled even tried disabled. So why is that? The graphics in this game are not exactly amazing, the effects are, but the buildings, the ground and the grass is not groundbreaking in any way compared to like Rise of Flight. It used to be that water effects were FPS killers. Now I fly perfectly fine on water but once I hit land it is a sutter and popping nightmare. My clan mate has the same issue. Lets not entirely forgive somebody for having a game in development for 6 years who have previous experience with sims and is a leading developer in flightsims. This game is sub par. I knew that there were issues with this game but I knew that this developer is committed. Now with Olegs exit if you believe that this will be another IL-2 Sturmovik...I would not bet my money it. Either way, this game has potential but it should simply have been an expansion instead, given that we who love IL-2 series would buy anything related to it. We are a small niche market but we are DEDICATED and ACTIVE. I felt like they screwed the community with this release. We all watched in awe as this game ran terribly on my rig and on my clanmates super rig and the rest said "Thanks, but no thanks". I wish I had been on the other end instead of buying something and then expect it to be "ready" in 6 months. I will not support this type of marketing. You just alienated a clan of 50 people who play IL2 to this day. Last edited by SpeedStreaker; 04-02-2011 at 06:45 AM. |
