fair enough - but can you quantify the impacct? what do the visual changes look like? Is it really 10 fps hit, or more/lss? How does it impact a high/mid/low end machine? Until those questions are answered the impact is all just based on hresay and rumour - I want quantifiable facts which the devs should be able to supply - if they don't know these things how can they fix it?

I'm more curious if there is any commonality in the systems that are experiencing problems. I.E. Using Nvidia/ATI, Intel/AMD, DDR3/DDR2 memory, etc. or is it completely random. We seem to be seeing people having few issues in mid to low range systems, but larger numbers of people with issues with upper end systems. I am just trying to figure out if there is some commonality at this point.

Well, put it this way, it makes enough of an impact to get Luthier to make repeated posts about it, and to promise to the Russian audience that the mechanism will be removed for them.

Any filter that does pre-screening calculations by comparing screen with screen has got to add unwanted extra load, and Luthier admits that this is a quick and dirty way of tackling the issue.

By the way, I am all for supporting the devs through this, and I have still got my western CE version pre-ordered.

I wonder what will happen when you log on to Steam in the States with a

Russian version? Will they ban your account? What happens when Steam tries to

apply an English patch on a Russian version of the game? And I have yet to see

a single video from an end-user that would lead me to believe that this game

will be playable online with this retard filter. 128 multi-player...yea right. Nike-

it's vids on a high end machine at 30 fps avg and reduced settings...that's

supposed to make me excited? Sorry for the mini-rant.

LOL good point sir

I am hoping to get around this personally by doing what i did for the first IL2 games which is to stay completely in heaven within the single player aspects of the game I know this does not help all of you multi-players but I am afraid that I am not one of you and therefore will be ever so happy just to be able to play the game as it was originally designed single player and if i can never multi play or get online support for the game as a result well then IMO its worth it

I'd just tell them you're Russian and here on business for a few months.

I understand the game to region locked.Therefore it can not be activated outside of its region.

Then we are really screwed. There is no reason for me to buy this game under the current scenario.
