Account cancellation whines due to hardware

[beet1e]

This is not directed at anyone in particular. It's just that I'm seeing people quit the game because their hardware can't hack it.

I know there may be cases of financial hardship, but otherwise it sounds rather like giving up driving because ethyl/4-star leaded fuel is no longer available, and the motoring world has had to adjust to catalytic converters and unleaded.

For those whining about their systems not being able to hack it, let me say that the hardware requirements were published in various forums months and months ago. This was all being discussed in the first half of last year.

Accept that hardware upgrade is a fact of life in the gaming world, and pay attention to the board announcements next time.

You want pretty graphics? Well that costs, and right here is where you start paying!

Yea what the brit/french guy said!

Yeah they Cry and complain but after two weeks of no AH they will be shaking from withdrawals and running to the computer store for a new puter... Trust me on that one....  Addicts always piss and moan when the cost of drugs rises....

IKON

The irony of this is, if people quit because they can't run AH2, then the chances are there won't be any games they'd be able to run in the market anyway.

 I don't expect any of them will ever move to FA, WB or WW2OL. Then what are their alternatives in the market??

 FB/AEP is already a systems hog.

 IL2/FB's latest series Pacific Fighters is coming in the near future.. which looks like this..



 Later, the Battle of Britain will be available sometime in 2005, which will be even more heavier than anything we've got now.

 ..

 So, if they not in AH2 where they gonna go? AH2 is still pretty much the most undemanding system for a game of such status.

Whats really ironic is often its eaither a "cheap" fix like vid card or better yet just tweaking their system some.
I got a low end puter right now 866Mhz cpu/ 512 mb ram/ and a nvidia fx5200 and I run the game just fine 25fps on the deck or in GV's and upwards of a steady 60+ when im at 2K or above altitude. ive listen to several guys LITERALLY screaming and cussing on vox about the low FR or stutters and its ussually cause they have out of date drivers. When I try to tell them well....its like teaching a child, err no a child would get it.

And just in case anyones wondering anything past 25 frames per second....the human eye cant see ! the guys who HAVE to have 100FPS or they "cant" play jsut crack me up!:rofl

What you may be missing here is that a good percentage of folks who are complaining  or questiong AH II has way beyond the required system requirements and top of the line Vid/graphics cards, new updated drivers, tweaked to the max, excellent frame rates, etc and the game still won`t run to an acceptable level as it stands at the moment.
  Some folks with inferior systems and cards are saying that the game is running smooth as silk without a hitch. For them I am proud. Now if it can be worked out to a playable level for everyone that is up to date system wise it will be great.

I think HT needs to be cut a little slack here.  A new release of software is always painful for everyone involved.  I'm sure they are working quite hard to resolve the issues and that they will eventually be resolved.

What cracks me up are the experts on everything in this place.

I will look for a link to the "I_know_what_is_wrong_with_eve ryones_computer.com"  site and post it also.  Maybe those guys scream because they already have the latest drivers and video cards?

I heard the human eye can't see any difference above 60FPS.

Yeah the H/W requirements were listed & published some time ago, I'll agree.
What was not "published" some time ago was the fact that if you had a good system or even a great system the game was going to run poorly, CTD, lockup, have countless bugs and not look much better tnan the original.
OH, and you state "pretty graphics"  and where are these "pretty graphics" you speak of ?
If I or anyone else spent big dollars {or even just a few hundred} to make the upgrades "that everyone should have known about" and the game looked like the one pictured above {IL2} I could COMPLETLY agree, I think we would ALL be jumping up & down. Well it's not even in the same league my friend:(

Question, You can see my system specs on the bottom.
My problem is wildly unstable framerates  20-85. often jumping now form one end to the other in the blink of en eye And this is while in flight. near as I can tell I cant tie it to either graphics ,furball, smoke, etc or sounds, Vox, engines, explosions,nor even all  combined.
Tried adjusting textures and detail settings in the game as well as sound card acceleration and changing my graphic card settings from detail to performance all to no avail
 All drivers updated within the last month including DirXB, All windows is fully updated.
What tweaks are working for you?
Any suggestions?
