Some tabloid employees among us?

In what way does this as-yet unreleased game not work, then? Other than not being released of course. There are some pretty hefty bugs, but will they be present on Thursday, that is the question?

Well the western market is stuck with the epilepsy filter, it appears thats a done deal for us we wont get the option to disable apparently. But like you say Thursday could see a whole change but I have to say that it would be a tremendous effort if they resolve the problems by then.

Not much they can do about the epilepsy filter I guess. Ubi's decision. Interesting that something that apparently affects between 0.015-0.025% of the human population could suddenly be so important. Here's hoping. Luthier's post on sukhoi.ru looks encouraging, with the source of the micro-freezes and the freezes as aircraft approach having been discovered and worked on for a patch this week sometime.

If its so prevalent and important why have we not seen it added to the original IL2 and how many lawsuits have they gotten from IL2 not having it?? none!

Well, the game didn't work at the release.

You have to take into account that this game is not about: get one plane and fly around and do acrobatics with fps drops every 5 sec.

I don't have the game myself, but I spoke with someone who has it, and who also has a solid gaming rig, and believe me - they released an unplayable game without a single word of warning.
It's a fact.
They swindled people out of money.

These forums are a shame. Could someone please tell me one flight sim that's been released in the last 5 years that worked perfectly on release? Do you negative Nancy's really think that Luthier and team aren't going to be able to optimize the game and make it run well?

I take it everyone forgot about the beta leak footage that didn't stutter around? I take it everyone forgot about the Ignor show footage done with cell phone cameras that looked fairly smooth? That was on an i5 with 2gigs of ram.

If anyone remembers, when IL2 was originally released people were trying to run it with P386/486's. Do you know how ancient those are now? I'm glad that the game will bring a huge system to it's knees (even after optimization) that just shows how complex of a game engine we are dealing with. It also shows just how much potential we have for years to come.

It's as if some of you people think the team worked 6 years to bring you a pile of crap. I imagine Luthier and team are working 24 hours a day to try to get some sort of patch ready to smooth it out. Judging by some of the posts on these forums, you people are some ungrateful bastards.

No wonder the simming business is such a small niche market. Really smooth move treating the ONLY developer to make a quality WWII air combat simulation in the last 10 years like a piece of crap. These people don't do this to get rich. Hell, the pilot bail-out animation in this sim looks better than any first person shooter game I've ever seen. Don't you realize this company could be making stuff for the masses and making some huge money with their talent? Show some respect. Show some support. Show a little praise FFS.

I've been waiting for this forever. I'm very happy it finally got released. I could sit in the cockpit and flip the switches for hours in itself. I will be flying around every single map by myself for hours with a big shit eating grin on my face, just enjoying the fact that I'm actually flying what I've been waiting for all this time. That's what flight simulation is all about and judging by some of the positive postings I've read about CoD, it will probably blow my mind the 1st time I spawn into an aircraft.

Be happy folks. I know I'm smiling just thinking about the chance to finally get this title. I've seen enough videos from the release version to make my jaw drop already. Those of you cancelling your preorder are simply not flight simmers or have no idea what kind of support you will have with 1c. IL2 gave us 10 years. CoD will probably give us that and more! Pretty cheap price IMO. There isn't a flight sim I haven't bought in the last 5 years, regardless of type, and regardless of how much I play it, just to show my support for those people who make my favorite types of games.

Thanks Oleg and team!

We don't know yet
- if the filter will stay for the western version (there is a possibility Ubi decides to take it out or make it optional if that is feasible technically)
- what is the real performance loss from this filter. Luthier said 10 fps on low end machines, but given the track record on communications, sorry, I have my doubt. some already report a loss of about 2-4 fps http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=19604 , some say it's more (see mysticpuma thread)


There is obviously some work to be done about something else than the filter.

Oh, and I do not see what gain Ubi would have to trash the game. If it doesn't sell well, it's Ubi loss too.

I agree with Bliss in every way!
