How to be paid off

[AKA_Tenn]

I didn't have a machine good enough to run IL2FB max settings (with AA/AF) till maybe 3 or 4 years ago, and that would be 8 years after the game came out...

I have a i7 2600k@4.4GHz and GTX570 2.5gb, and i can't run CloD on max settings @ 1920x1080 anyway... but the game is totally playable with 30+ fps all i really need to do is turn grass off and buildings down one or two notches...

It will run, but will it blend?

You might want to read my post on the last page for clarification of what I meant though: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...6&postcount=30

Simply being able to start the game and load a mission doesn't equal "it will run".
System requirements are actually meant to represenet the necessary hard- / software to run the full game with all it's features and under all conditions (e.g. multiplayer with max players per server, all single player missions etc.) just with reduced graphical details within reasonable limits.
It's not a value representing the necessary specs to see the main menu or sit on the ground lagging around with 1-15fps.

A good example were the ice levels in crysis (which tore most computers apart).




Maybe some people are able to run the game like that. But frankly I had problems on PC's with much higher specs...
I really doubt that CloD will ever play reasonably within the limits of the system requirements printed on the box.


But then again. Until the new beta patch is out there's probably a ton of issues that could be responsible for the problems the OP has/had - aside from sys reqs and hardware issues.

I got this in a sale for just £5 and I'm more than happy with the purchase

Wow your computer must really suck!

My C2D E6600 and 8800GTS certainly was able to play it, didn't even need to have it on minimum settings.

Yes it was playable even on lower systems at reasonably reduced resolution or in Windowed mode. Incredible for such a monster sim with all the details modelled IMO.
