How to be paid off

[MD_Titus]

failure to read technical requirements and meet them does not equate to a faulty product.

bugged it may be, but there's plenty who have it working on their machines, to a greater or lesser (in my case) extent.

we're not buying a car, we're buying a product that will be patched, have content added and improved.

In case you've forgotten about it: the requirements on CloD were false. No one was (and probably will) be able to play CloD with the minimum requirements they printed on the box or published on digital distribution sites.

Were false? I would have said unrealistic at release. It did work but at very low levels of graphics and effects.

But what about now? The sims perfomance increased to reasonable levels after the last couple of patches.

What is the OP system specs?

When the original Il2 was released, it was unplayable on the system that I had at the time. It was so bad it wasn't until Pacific Figters was released that I revisited the series and realised what I had been missing. Even given it's shaky start the original IL2 turned into one of the best combat flight sims.

I think COD will soon be taking it's place.

Hello, I think that Eddie is French like me, we are as all the other disappointed countries of turning that that takes.
The play is not fixed we cannot invest us for continuation (BOM).
I speak in the name of the community about the French players.

How about all the community minded complainers sharing the process they have undertaken to get refunds?
after all you only care about the welfare of all the innocent customers right? absolutely nothing to do with bloating the forums with malicious tripe.

what's that?.....nobody has tried to get a refund?

You're probably right. I don't think anyone has actually tried.
This is really about venting, rather than any serious attempt to report faulty goods and/ or recover funds.

If people really wanted refunds, they should approach the various organisations in their countries that are set up to look after consumer interests.

There is a lot of posturing and show off, but eventually cod/bom is the only option when it comes to wwii flight sim, also real costs are elsewhere, utility bills, rent, gas and so forth.
In fact this kind of games offers the best replay value on the market so don't tell us the price is the problem.

This is a good point. It would be useful to have all the info and processes needed and gathered in one place. Perhaps it could be done on a country-by-country basis, or even continent-by-continent?

Perhaps the Mods might like to sticky it?

Unrealistic = false. System requirements should reflect the requirements necessary to play the game and at that they failed.

That hasn't change much (yet). Thus I said it maybe never will.

IL-2 was different. A different age even. And monitors with resolutions from back in these days don't exist anymore. You'll have a very hard time finding anyone with anything less than 1680 on a desktop computer. On top of that no one has a CRT anymore and with flat screens you can't use a different resolution. Well, you can but it looks like crap mostly.
The tools to test and make games have evolved also. And let's not forget the lessons learned while making the games of the past (IL-2 comes to mind as an excellent game of it's genre). There are even services to test hardware compatibility and to find out what exact system requirements are appropriate.

I agree with you though. CoD is the future and it's a great game - I only wanted to remind the poster I quoted that the system requirements have nothing to do with the games performance. The game runs poor even on cards way better then the requirements and most likely will even after the patch since the patch will scale much better on high end system than it will on low end machines.

if you're willing to adjust settings it will run. people expect to run it maxed out on recommended machines. this wasn't even really possible with 1946, going off the back off that box.
