I'd be happy with shyte performance at the moment. Gave Steam my $49.00 and DL last night. Tried to run it today and all it does is pop a Launcher has stopped working error.

Tried everything suggested over at 1C to no avail. Back to IL-2 until I can afford a new rig I guess.

I had that on the first run too, but then tried again and didn't press ANYTHING and it worked.

Wow I hadn't realized it was released!

Now I know what my computer is up too...and gonna wait till this fall when I'm buying a new one (in time for BF3) before trying this out. And a bunch of patches should be released by then!

But I sure wouldn't mind seeing some screenshots for those of you who manage to take off to the skies

Well I bought a $50 error message generator that generates one message, regardless of what I try.

ARRGGGGHH!

Ok not happy-got a new system 5 months ago and expected better than what I got today.

I got an HP desktop, dual core cpu 3.20 ghz with 4.00 GB RAM. I suspect my card, a Geforce G210 may be the problem-but still I got this machine recently and the game has been in development for a long time. I turned off the anti-epilepsy filter, and used the trick of altering the config to run as DX9 I saw here and at the 1c forum. I do want to play the game and so just would like some assistance on getting it to run better as I could barely control the plane in the training mission.

Yes, card is definitely a limiting factor. Think I had a calculator 10 years ago that was faster.

Provided you have a decent PSU, it shouldn't be too difficult to upgrade though.

1) The FAQ on 1C forums says that forcing DX9 on anything over Win XP might cause a performance loss and/or crashes.

2) 1C has confessed there are number of issues with their game causing bad performance. Buildings would be one thing. Second would be the issues they have with multicore CPUs.

Only thing I could do to get performance even playable was to go 1280*800 from 1400*900, even on very low. And mind you, the game looks worse than IL2 1946 on these settings. ArmA syndrome?

EDIT: Oh and there's some issues with them forests too.

For CoD? Seems that the minimum requirement at the moment is a supercomputer.

Seriously though, think the CPU and RAM are good enough. Using 4GB myself, still plenty, and a 3.2GHz core is nothing to scoff at.

I know I'm just annoyed a computer I bought 5 months ago can't run a game in development for 6 years or more...I understand the card is weak and I'll have to upgrade and play with the settings but I still think there is some patching to be done by 1C.

imo...the state of the base is inexcusable for the time it has been in development.

I'll wait with purchasing this title untill some patching has been done and some good news comes out.

Select quick mission and "Heartbreaker" as your airplane, now you fly "Pearl Harbor" movie-like
