Rusty_M Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 As per the title, IL2 ClOD has now been patched. It seems to have mixed responses over at SimHQ. If you'd been thinking of getting back in, now may be a good time. Then again, it might not. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming

SmokeyTheLung Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Still unplayable on my computer. Bought it dirt cheap and runs as a slide show. That's a drag. When this game works (which it seems to for a lucky few) it is visually breathtaking. I'd rank it as one of the "prettiest" games I've ever seen... Mind you I can run it with the graphics maxed without issue. I don't even have a particularly cutting edge machine which is quite odd I guess System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer

agrasyuk Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Patched and fired it up this weekend. Improvement is immediately visible - now it is somehow flyable. But it is still very far from being a good sim IMHO. Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project

SackDestroyer Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 So, is this game good when it can be run? I've got a pretty beefy computer (GTX 570, i5-2500k 3.3gig with 8 gigs of RAM), so I don't predict having any system trouble. It's too bad it's still going for 30 bucks on Steam, which is a little steep for a year old game with such bad reviews.
Yskonyn Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 It runs smoothly now on highest settings on my machine. I think its time to invest some more time in it from now on.

Slayer Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I get 30 FPS now but it looks like garbage. Looks like they gutted it make it run....It's been a year and I've been very patient, now I'm deleting this garbage off my computer and moving on. Plenty of other decent sims out there.

agrasyuk Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I actually find the improvements noticable. performance is decent on 1920*1200 with old gtx470. things do fly and the ground looks good, BUT... overall it is still not a jam of a game. perhaps i'm holding a grudge from last year, but it completely fails to captivate me, provides very vague "sensation of flying" so to say (unlike RoF where i almost can feel the wind in my face. i know, beaten to death comparison ). even the wrapper - the befor flight GUI of the game somehow repulses me... shame, i really wanted to love it Anton.

These long shadows cast over from the trees late on the day just looks awesome. The visual aspect and depth of the damage model is really unique for WWII sim`s.

GregP Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I avoided COD until this past Friday, when the last patch came out. I then bought it on Amazon download for 20 bucks. I've spent a lot of time since then getting it tweaked and setting up my HOTAS, and I have to say -- I'm fairly impressed with COD in its current state, especially given how far it's come. On my two 7970's (which admittedly are probably not the average system spec), I run COD in Eyefinity at 5904x1080, with most graphics options maxed but SSAO off and a few things like Forests and Buildings Amount set to Medium. In the missions I've tried so far -- and I admit, it's been limited to mostly quick missions and a few single missions -- I have no problem averaging in the 40-70 FPS range. I do, unfortunately, get a bit of microstuttering quite often, but this comes from Crossfire and not the graphics settings. For the moment I'm willing to put up with it, as it's not that bad, and worth the huge FPS boost I get from the second card. You can run FXAA/SMAA injectors to help 'pretty it up', although in my experience, it is almost impossible to force AA on Radeon cards via these injectors, whereas it seems to work better on Nvidia cards (and/or Nvidia users have access to SGSSAA, which is vastly superior in IQ to the Radeon's SSAA). I currently use SweetFX to change the color palette a bit (reduce the default washed-out look) and sharpen it, and it looks pretty damn good. Thus far, my only two complaints are: - It really does suck that the game does not have any working AA, nor (at least for me) can it be forced from the outside. - Try as I might, including with the PPJoy/GlovePIE trick, I have not been able to get my Fanatec ClubSport pedals working as rudders in-game. The bottom line is, official dev work on this sim is now complete. What we currently have is all we're going to get. For $20, I'm willing to make the best of it. Even with its remaining problems, this is the best WW2 sim out there. Glass half-full, y'know? :) As such, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Of course it doesn't hurt that I totally missed out on the past 18 months of ugliness in the forums... EDIT: I have since writing the above figured out how to get my pedals working; all it took was for me to carefully follow the instructions here. Edited October 27, 2012 by GregP
