instead of remaking the graphix engine, the devs should delete this logo...in the past one and a half years deleting it gave me the biggest performance gain.in fact, the new engine didnt do anything in regards of performance for me(well done devs!).

since release, and the first thread on this board suggesting to do so, its the same difference for me....with ubi logo ~30fps.....deleting it ~60fps.

and i just cant believe that the devs are such ignorant , and dont do anything against it.but yeah, it wouldnt even make a difference to post it in the bugtracker, since the devs dont give shit about it anyway, as nobody of them is speaking english, besides Luthier, who seemed to disappear already a while ago just like Oleg did....

reading this forum, the "news", "answers" and ignorance from the devs, is really making me angry.

Default It works for me as well

Running two CrossfireX'ed HD6970 cards, I also get a significant boost from suppressing the Logo.wmv file.

Sure it is a bad behaviour, but this topic is now as old as the game itself. The cards are forced to run in video mode, which is only reduced to 500MHz or so.

I just wonder, why you all noticed it today, although it is the big topic since beginning, including a workaround, which fixed it. Poor, that it still exist, but also poor, that noone took a look at the existing tweaks. It was the first tweak, which I saw for ATI cards, which are using different modes for different application needs.

Sry, but wanted to say that

There were two reasons why it became necessary to reactivate the topic. Firstly, some disinformation about the significance of the splash screen had been injected into the discussion. This had the effect of increasing the overall opacity of the issue. In my opinion a clear statement was necessary to correct this. Secondly, the community is an ever changing thing. People tend to come and go over time. My suspicion is that most of the people who arrived here with a late model ATI card expect the thing to be able to handle the game without firstly having to trawl the internet for possible work-arounds to an issue that, as far as they're aware, doesn't even exist.

Just sayin.......

I hear you .. But as I said, it first just sounded so ridiculous that I ignored the whole thing .. "Why should a vid have anything to do with the in-game fps?" I thought .. So I didn't give it any further thought and just kept saying to myself that this game runs badly because it's a new game and I have a crap computer ... But luckily Flanker nudged me one more time on the issue so I finally tested it

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to BUMP this thread because it solved my CoD startup and graphical issues.

System Specs:

Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
AMD Phenom II X4 965 clocked at 3.7 GHz
16 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7970
Catalyst 13.4

After download and install from STEAM, I was not able to launch the game most times, and when it did launch it never displayed the UBI spinning Logo (it did play the sound) and would have graphical tearing and texture issues.

Read about your patch and the Logo issue. I downloaded and installed the patch, but still had launch and tearing issues (textures were repaired). Now I had ignored the Logo Fix that I read (at a different forum) because it was an old post and seems crazy that my system would have an issue with a Logo.

Today I killed the Logo and everything seems to be working great! Thanks for the info!

I just want to STRESS that everybody should REMOVE THE LOGO if you are having issues!

The logo prevents the Graphics-Card to swich to 3D-Mode... it`s not a question of how much ressources the Graphics Card has but in which mode it runs.. and apparently, this can have a hughe impact on game-performance...
