How to be paid off

if you're willing to adjust settings it will run. people expect to run it maxed out on recommended machines. this wasn't even really possible with 1946, going off the back off that box.

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
