    Do your research before you buy. Read reviews, check the forums as suggested. The game has issues for many, and seemingly none for others.

    I for one am a little disappointed with the game. I enjoyed it initially, but once 1.03 hit, my fps was hurt considerably and made playing in coop missions impossible when full grass was forced on, as well as certain trees, bringing my fps down to 10 to 15.

    Also, living on the east coast, I am just not seeing a decent population of players on servers pinging under 100. Maybe two or 3 servers will have over 10 players. The rest are maybe 2 players here or there, often times afk. I think the bugs and system requirements have taken a big hit on the player population.

    Stability for me is excellent, with just a couple of CTDs so far. Performance not so good though. At normal texture quality I can have 30-40 FPS (most other stuff turned off, but high windowed resolution). Looking at some kinds of heavily leafed trees can make this drop to 5-10, making it completely unplayable. This rather extreme performance penalty goes completely away if I switch to low texture quality, like the tree wasn't even there. I also got the sound problems, like everyone else.

    Uhm, are your smoke grenades even working at all? Mine stops emitting smoke once they get to the ground, like, completely broken.

    Glad i'm not the only one seeing issue with certain leafy trees. Doing missions with fixed heavy grass/foliage is pretty much unplayable, especially when zooming in.

    You can only exercise so much patients when you spend money on a product like this. Not only was it released with bugs, they only managed to introduce new ones with each patch.

    Also there is the damage caused just by word of mouth, regarding the condition of the game in its current state.

    I get the same feeling I did when I started playing WWII Online. Similar release, loaded with bugs, that took so long to address that the damage to consumer confidence in their product killed their player population, and any interest from potential buyers.

    The fact that they are asking him to test stuff he's already done, and supplied video evidence of tells me they might be a bit disorganized. Which means these issues will take a whole LOT of patients on our parts, while we look at servers with deplorable player counts.

    Pub servers are always a crapshoot. It has been that way for years. If you want tactical gameplay, join a team/squad/clan. Thats exactly what I did. Joined the 75th, and glad I did. Squad nights are all about tactics, organizing into fireteams and abiding by the chain of command. So what you are looking for, in part, many of us are enjoying already cause we knew where to find it.

    As for handling 500 ai...you are in a small minority of people that can play on that scale with this game. You know its demands on the average system. I like the idea of it though. Who wouldn't.

    Reality is, the game doesn't play well on average or lower end systems. You have gamers coming in after playing fps games maxed detail wise, and having to sacrifice alot in the graphics department to try and get some playable fps. You stack on top of that the host of bugs in the game at release...and bugs added with 1.03. That can be a huge turnoff right off the bat.

    What follows that, is word of mouth, which can do alot of damage to potential buyers. Alot of gamers are already involved in clans, and that word spreads to fellow clanners, etc etc.

    BiS needs to get their stuff in order. They need to thoroughly test their patches before releasing them. And I would love to see more on this forum from them on their progress. I'm not seeing alot from them, to reassure their customers.

    I haven't played much by way of pvp yet. I actually enjoy the coops, and being in a squad that helps even more, with squad nights, and their desire to play in a structured fashion.

    But it seems you've joined our happy community of players just as they released a god awful patch...1.03, which has introduced a host of different problems. I think this has affected the player population somewhat, though it was never at numbers like you would see with CoD4(10k server), etc. Very different demands with this game, both in gameplay, and in hardware to play it.

    Best advice I can give you right now, is find a good squad to join, with active players interested in the type of gaming you are into.

    Lets hope that BI gets their shit in order and gets this game optimized so it can attract more gamers, to fill up those 0 player servers.

    Not contrails. While they are similar, contrails occur at very high altitue.

    Wing tip vortices are small trails of vapor that occur at any altitude during sharp maneuvers. (*see the F-16 in the clip below). There were some screenshots floating around the forum (one of the beta testers perhaps) that showed the current default aircraft (no mods) already displaying the effect. The pictures were removed.

    Two actually. Have a look North East of the big castle....and on the river above the power station

    ....volumetric clouds?? Are you folks seeing those?? Or is that something that also didn't make it through beta. I'm sure not seeing them..

    I use Perfectdisk 10 to defrag. Probably the best defrag i've seen yet. Better then Auslogic thats for certain.

    However, I still get a crapload of hd accessing now in large towns since 1.03. Wasn't that bad in 1.02 but man, terrible since installing 1.03. That and foliage are causing problems now. Thick grass or leaves are hitting my fps significantly.

    They've apparently optimized things for some, but broke it for others in the process.
