Why do you run CloD on XP?

IF you have multicore CPU, W7 is MUCH better than XP using all cores.

W7 is better than XP. Simple.

yes, I'm aware of that.

I just checked task manager. The overhead on my xp machine with avg free running in the background is only 400 MB. With the 3gb switch enabled, I can run il-2 max settings online, texture compression off, supplemental programs like freetrack, hyperlobby, glovepie in the background. After that, there is still about 1GB left out of the 3gb total of unused memory. No crashes. I posted Luthier about the 3GB switch and his patch crashes. Hopefully he is listening because it does make a difference if the program you are running is ram intensive. The switch changes the addressing. Moves some from the operating system to the program. Maybe CLoD is pushing the standard xp addressing allocation to the limit? I wouldn't be suprised if it was.

lol so funny you guys feel adressed i ment the guy who started the discussion, it's useless and adds nothing constructive to this game. No one is happy with the game as it is but at least they are working hard to make it better. why not sit back and wait what happens for a change?

These discussion are a waste of everyone's time especialy for the peeps working on this game to make it better.

Condescension aside, how exactly are these discussions a waste of time for the peeps working on this game to make it better? In another thread, it was suggested that a klaxon sounds off in 1C's development dept. whenever a new posting is added to a 1C Forum discussion thread which obliges all the CoD devs to immediately drop what they're doing, read the new post, then sit down and have a roundtable discussion on how best to ignore said post.....before getting back to work again.

Could this possibly be what you mean by wasting the peeps' time?
