SoWC:BoB Multisquad Campaign Starting

[Osprey]

Yes it didn't crash but frames were <1 in the big mash-up. I don't know if blues had the same thing because they seemed to be getting hits on target. Once the main group had broken up then frames were fine.

Question though. At the scramble bases in the map will all squadrons be available? What I mean is that I can choose #501 as the squadron from any of the bases. We need the codes when forming up.

Yes.

Did you all restart your machines before the battle or had they been on all day? I was getting about 25 frames minimum during the raid by the 27 Ju88's... It was bearable.

All those fps drops were caused by bombers leaking fuel and coolant. Smoke behind theme is just frame killer so You have to have rally good hardware to survive furballs like that with no fps drop. That was only for test purpose, and there will not be 40+ contacts around You during campaign. Hoping for patch next week, or new graphics card and RAM.

Osprey and Wolverine what are your system specs?

[Osprey]

We were the first group in to attack them and there were no leaks at that point. It seemed to be a pure numbers problem.

I have a good rig Farber, i5 2500k and 560Ti twin frozr.

That is mid set Osprey, it's ok but not "good". Bombers could be shoot by artillery as well. Anyway it's the game problem not server.

I had to roll my drivers back 2 years to get what I have now... Lets hope official Grail patch arrives Friday...

Dev, it's not a mid set, it's high end. It may be for this game though since anyone with a real 'mid set' can't actually play - I always buy just off the top and I'm not due an upgrade for a little while. The 560Ti is ranked 18th at the moment - 3DMark performance is 75% of the GTX680 - the present leader. The i5 2500k is (perhaps was now) the fastest retail chip in the World when OC'd. I'd hate to think what you consider obsolete

Other than that yes, it's a game problem.

I don't have bad hardware. My rig is probably one of the better ones playing and I have worked on it to make sure it runs nice and lean. I had one of the better pings on the server too (not that that really matters anymore) and my connection is very stable.

Sorry for the late reply.

Like I said before. Hopefully it won't be as bad on the day. It would be very interesting to have everyone take note of their lowest and highest frame rates during the mission. I doubt the issue is a red/blue one and that everyone will get the slowdowns we saw if they are engaging the same way we are.

Keep in mind: the RAF fighters are going to be aiming towards the bomber formations for their attacks. Luftwaffe fighters don't have to do that. If the frames get bad pointing in that direction, they can just wait a second and engage when the RAF fighter comes away from the bombers. It's unfortunate, but that is a sort of advantage.

But who cares. I just want to try this and get flying in a real Battle of Britain situation with real pilots involved. I'm tired of having to choose between playing against humans on dogfight servers or AI in BoB situations.

Roll on Sunday...though it's unfortunate also that the England/Italy fixture is that day Hmmm choices....
