(yes there are issues and parts that are incomplete, but if you ganna have a poll don't have its crap and its unplayable as the options)

I didn't say it's crap. I didn't say it's playing crap. Read it again. I said maybe not perfectly. Maybe!

If it's working OK then fine, this pole is to determine how many can't run the game at all. Lots of us can't.

Anyone who can get it to work at all is in an OK position as far as I'm concerned. I do not have the luxury even of being able to judge patch improvements (or lack of).

Reposting what I posted earlier here:

I can't even start the game.

I get a warning that my graphic driver stopped responding and has recovered, then it crashes to desktop as soon as I try to fly. I only get sounds.

I updated my graphics driver. I re-installed steam and CoD. I disable AVG antivirus. Nothing helps.

I found the old graphics driver was better (I got the game working 2 times only), so I have reverted to that. When it did work I did not get a message that the graphics driver stopped and recovered!!!

Now nothing helps, the game doesn't run at all.
I see the options and settings page, but not the pilot or planes in the viewer. And I can't run the game!!!!!

I (try to) run the game at 1024x resolution. Lowest settings for everything.

Pentium E5200
4GB DDR2
GeForce GT220 1024 MB
Vista Home Premium

Actually it simply freeze the computer, forcing me to shut it off.

I guarantee it is your system, not the application. Start with RAM diagnostics by running MemTest86+ overnite (8 hrs). I know these problems from experience. Good luck!

Your graphics card is just too weak. Its a 3 year old budget card that clearly can't play this game. Don't be fooled by the 1GB memory.

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/vi...GeForce+GT+220

That combined with a weak cpu on Vista is a recipe for disaster.

It is not the game's issue, its an issue with your hardware. While i understand you may not have the funds or the desire to upgrade that is the only solution i can see for you. What is the actual point of this thread? To complain, moan, blame the game developers or to get help for your problem? What you should be asking is can anyone else play this game on a Gt 220.

*SUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS AT TIME OF RELEASE:

ATI® 4850/4870/5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970

NVidia®: 8800/9800/250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480

The 8800 is superior to your card.

The 8800 is far superior to your card.

That is not the issue. At least not the sole issue. Today after trying all evening I finally got the game to play again (third time only) and it runs OK. Not well, not good. Just OK.
I made no changes. It just happened to run.

I will upgrade my computer in a few months. I know it is not the best. The point is it can run on my machine, if I can just get it to start.

Today I flew with stutters over Dover, without a problem.

Your card is significantly weaker the the slowest supported card!

That means you cannot expect the game to work! I'd suggest you acknowledge that, for your own sake.

[Rather peeved]

i find myself sticking to battles over the sea. it's still simply too frustrating to play over land. and even over the sea i have problems.

and i have a new high end machine.

so yes - significant problems still. bring on more patches.

Read my post. If I can get the game to start it works.

It worked today even with everything on medium settings (I would have had to exit the game to change them, so left them all in the middle).

I don't care if I can't play the game for another 6 months, I never expected to.
That is not my point. If it is a major issue with players it should be known.

For what it's worth Major, I used to have one of these cards and it was continually crashing out on lots of different programmes, principally movie-maker.

Driver updates didn't help, so in the end I got a new card.

Think that may be the root of your prob. Sorry!
