New Nvidia beta drivers and still no trace of an official SLI profile

SLI was never going to have a profile, we were just fobbed off constantly by Luthier. I remember asking him well before release about SLI, and he assured us then that it would work out of the box, his exact words were, 'of course it will work, why wouldn't it'. Then on release he blamed the epilepsy filter for breaking SLI, then when the filter was removed it still didn't function.

why don't you forget it already ??? there's no SLI official support for CLoD, afaik Nvidia doesn't even know about CLoD. and if it does, it doesn't want it's name associated with it.

SLI went down the same river that took the clouds, weather, everything that was promised and never made it to light.

again, take a look

so CLoD is what it is, let's hope the new BOS doesn't disappoint, these guys now have the experience of a failed product so maybe they can avoid some pitfalls and make better development choices

Actually, if you look at the actual CLOD, everything except clouds and weather made it into release, but the PCs were not capable performance wise. Maybe in a few years we will get back to clod engine.

Cloud generator was in the release and worked OK, the only weather available was thunderstorms though.

It's also very clear from that video that the map was redone for the release version. Why I don't know. (game was still Open GL at that point - and they probably didn't have to use Speed Tree then either!)

I watched that video that came with il-2 46 many times and was hugely excited by it. I love the way the terrain looks in the video - that was what I was expecting. Would have been very happy if we'd got it.

LOFT mentioned that he is in charge of CloD now and even thinks about how to make a Win8 compatibility patch for CloD. Contact him if they can send a request to NV through their channels. Should not take more than 5 minutes probably.

Clearly this is not their priority.

Have all of you that have and are using Sli tried Luthier's Sli code release?, if not give it a try, I have installed it and it is working for me.

Would still like to see some official support from Nvidia though.

Ive got a couple gtx 460s for sale if anyone is interested.
