It will take a long time and many patches to rectify all faults, but I won't start worrying until we haven't heard from the developer for more than a couple of months. In the mean time I'm enjoying flying COD on-line, once and awhile, as I haven't experienced the crashes others have.

I have full confidence that things will be sorted with FMB and CooP interface.

As it stands, its just another hurdle in the way to getting what I want from CoD and probably many others flying with squads, as I don't fly DF servers only CooP and online campaigns, its a huge chunk missing from CoD multiplayer at the moment especially if there no log file output to parser for mission online web stats (as far as I know there isn't).

Frustrations aside there's still plenty to enjoy from CoD as it stands and DF server fliers are having fun in the few servers around, but expansion and user friendly access to CoD's interfaces needs sorting asap

C# is not difficult to learn.

No ones crying here.

I think the idea of a community manager is to consolidate all of the feedback and bugs from the community as i am sure the Devs do not have the time to filter through all the useless crap

It's a great idea. Every game needs one or two or a few communiy managers, the community is the single most important catalyst for a sucessfull game series.

We all agree its a great idea, it was Luthier who told us this was going to happen, but it went the way of Coop's, dynamic weather Dx11 and FSAA etc etc...

And the 50% improvement in frame rate... of course thats a wild assumption on my part

Would this be a bad time to point out that CoD does support DX11 API ?

And that if you want to use DX11 feature levels you can edit your conf.ini file to switch from using DX10 feature levels to using DX11 feature levels

what does DX11 add? My system is DX11 ready but I don't know what to alter in Config.ini

Keep in mind the OFFICIAL 1C, UBI, STEAM advertisements state, i.e.

VIDEO CARD: DirectX® 9.0c compliant, 512Mb Video Card (1GB DirectX® 10 recommended)

Note DirectX 11.0 is not listed let alone recommended!

But because 1C is using the (supports) DX11-API you can try different 'feature levels' by manually editing your conf.ini file

The following should go without saying, but just to be safe, it is probably best to state the obvious.. That being to 'try' DX11 settings you will have to have a DX11 compliant video card!

The DX11 API support is the best thing to happen for guys who love to tweak things and are interested in how different 'feature levels' affect, the FPS and the way things look. For those types they may find the following Microsoft link interesting

MS DirectX 11 API feature levels

Here are the different 'feature levels' you can try out in CoD

Render=D3D11_0 i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D 11.0 features.
Render=D3D10_0 i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D 10.0 features.
Render=D3D10_1 i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D 10.1 features.
Render=D3D9_1  i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D  9.1 features.
Render=D3D9_2  i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D  9.2 features.
Render=D3D9_3  i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D  9.3 features.

For example as noted the DX11-API default is set to DX10, i.e.

Render=D3D10_0

For example if you want to set (limit) the 'feature levels' to DirectX 9.1 use the following

Render=D3D9_1

For example if you want to set (try) the 'feature levels' to DirectX 11 use the following

Render=D3D11_0

It's that simple!

Yet some like Tree would have you belive that it can not be done!

lol, what a load of Toss, show us your screenshots with CLOD running in DX11 then. Ive no doubt it will run, if you have windows 7 and Dx11 card, but it will run very slow and your fps will be low and it wont look any diffrent. The reason being is they did not include the full DX11 version. The API was a way of fooling buyers into believing that the game was DX11,You may fool some people on here but not me.

Anybody every tried to play Cliffs of Dover with a 512MB Video Card ? Guess it looks like a flicker-book on a LSD trip.
