Hey guys, since the 1.5 patch WWIIOL is greatly improved. Barely any CTD's or anything like that.

And this stuff about playnet filing Chapter 11 is true, but the devs of the game said there not going out of buisness, they just need to change stuff so there not spending as much money, and the head dev "killer" even said that "the game will go on"

Check it out, its very fun now.

As much as I want to believe a ding-dong that can't spell senior...

Actually it was good but when CRS decided to limit Bf-109 (You know that fighter Germans used mostly?) numbers I quit playing.

Gee, this post wouldn't have anything to do with this would it?

I really hate to reply here - but yeah, I do get about 60 FPS over a ground fight in 1024 32 bit, with FSAA, too. Granted my box is an XP 1600 w/GF3, but I'm just sayin' (tm). I was able to get very playable frame rate in the air (25+) on an Athlon 800 w/GF2 MX, and 640 RAM, too.

It's mainly about the RAM. Ya need about 450 meg of free, physical RAM for good performance. So, 512 is bare minimum, and 640 or more is great.

Not debating the numerous problems with the game or the fact that the box specs are a joke, but I'd hardly call an 800MHz/GF2MX/512 RAM a power computer these days. It's average - can be built super cheapo, and you'll get nice playability.

It's actually "señor", not "senior" or "senor"... wait, I think you won't be able to see the "ñ" now that I think of it.

I had a 733 PIII, 768MB and a GF GTS DDR 32MB. Sorry, 25-35 in the open, 5fps over a big city. That's right, F-I-V-E. Had every tweak in the book performed as well. It was not only ram, nor system spec, nor this, nor that. Whatever it was, it wasn't user-friendly, and that's enough.

I am reading mixed reviews on 1.5- some good, some bad. As usual, a WWIIO patch is mixed in its results, so it would appear it is business as usual.

The original post is indeed someone desperately seeking more players. Maybe some will go, and that is ok. He should not however represent the game as fixed, 'cause it isn't.

What a newcomer can expect

Oh comunity, please help us "recruit" more customers!

Wotan · « **Reply #12 on:** December 30, 2001, 05:51:00 PM »

kieran i have a bit "better" system then yours and fps sux in flight.

It goes up and down from 65 to 20s some times lower.

Gameplay sux if you are an axis player. A good chunk of them are the ones that have stopped playing.

If your a char driver hell ya wwiiol is the place to be.

I still have a paid sub there although I rarely ever play it.

Oh well...........

Kieran · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2001, 06:03:00 PM »

I have a better system now... I put together an Athlon XP 1500 rig this fall, and it can do better that the other rig. The deal with anyone advocating the game (with me, that is) is that they make it sound so great, but they leave out the all important staggering system requirements and end-user hassle to get it going properly. You end up with threads like the one I linked above; people who are naturally outraged by being mislead, only to be told by the community to "leave if you don't like it". Even in CRS's darkest hour you have a community that still doesn't get it- the day for telling people to get lost is over.

Truthfully that is the catchphrase most appropriate for the game, and the one that should have been put on the box:

"WWIIO; don't let the door hit your bellybutton on the way out!"

What version was that Kieran? That's the performance I get with 1.4+ versions. I've got several squaddies who play occasionally on various setups comparable or slightly better than yours, and none report drops to 5. Maybe 20s as a low over a city.

As for the FM, well, to each his own. It's less real in some aspects, but more real in others, arguably. The net effect is something I can have fun in. A decent amount of serious sim folks I recognize from this and other flight-sim communities must agree, 'cause I see 'em there.
