Who Turned on the clouds

[The Fugitive]

how do i post it

Goto start/run and type in Dxdiag, and hit run. It will open another window and may ask about checking signatures, just click ok. Once it's done running... a minute or so, there are buttons along the bottom of the window. Click on the one save in as a txt or something like that. Save it some place you can find it, the desktop work good. Close the Dxdiag window.

Double click the new file you just saved, open it with notepad. Copy and paste the first third of the page (full page is too long and won't fit. that important info is in the top third) up to AND including <sound Devices> here to the boards.

In game settings can only be done by writing it down and typing it into a post, or screen capture the screen and upload the picture so you can add it into the post.

Basically what it means is this system wasn't made for gaming. Normal home computing, browsing the internet and so on. 3D gaming, not so much. As for tweaking, the best you can do is turn everything down. Textures on the first screen when you load the game under "video" turn it down to 256. In game, turn off as many bits of the eye candy as you can. It may look like crap, but you might get a reasonable frame rate.

[Bizman]

Here's what the Walmart site says about this machine and especially the vidcard:

NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE integrated graphics
For amazing graphics performance

And what's told on the "e-Machines(R) Confidential Selling Points" under the title "Amazing Performance and Storage":

NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ 6150 SE graphics delivers best-in-classperformance for games and applications along with delivering crisp and vibrant video.

That may be true when speaking about youtube videos, but definitely not for gaming. 

Randy1 has exactly the same weakness in his e-Machine, discussed on Hardware&Software

[earl1937]

This is getting tiring the best frame rate i get is 11 and it seems that my computer cant handle it the problem is its only a year old i am getting sort of angry because the game is unplayable at the moment

[jimbo71]

I was experiencing issues with FR due to the new clouds.  Yesterday in Tank Town was in a tank and while sitting still could look in one direction that had no clouds and would get my usual 59-60 FPS, then I could turn my turret 45 degrees to an area that did have the clouds and FR dropped to 30.  Disabling the cloud bump map only increased frame rate to 32-33.   And this was sitting still on the ground static.  Can only imagine that the problem would be compounded if I were in a plane flying around and through them.

Today I just went to the AMD site and updated my video card driver.  FR seems to be back to normal 



            

[phatzo]

I got an old Dell from 2006. I think it is still XP and I have a GForce 8400 video card. Even with all the graphics off I still play with about a frame rate of 15 to 25 at best. I have fiber optics connection and that helps I think. Reading set up information may as will be in Chinese since I am computer illiterate. I am retired and a new computer ain't on our high priority list right now.

I have that same video card and can make the game run well with a few tweaks and turning a few things off, well a lot of things off.



looks like this but a solid 60FPS





sorry I don't have any recent airborne screen shots

[HawkerMKII]

Well then half the customer base needs to upgrade their stuff. I mean really, if you're going to dish out the cash for 250.oo joysticks, throttle and rudder pedals then why not spend 300 bucks on a video card and or power supply and some memory?

I've spent a couple grand easy over the years trying to keep up with the changes. If HTC wants to keep moving forward and compete with the other eye candy games out there, I'm all for it. I'm here for the long term. The "half of player base" you speak of Redbull will be gone as soon as the next flashy game comes along. So I say to them, if ya want to play this game then get the stuff to play it with.

wow wish i had born with a...............

Stop looking at his arse Uptown!  Obama will tax you for that.

[Weirdguy]

Weird, I didn't see where the poster said anything about the quality of his computer, just that it was a year old. Help him out with some performance suggestions. But to start implying he's some low class cheapskate whiner is pretty lame.

Neither was I.  I was actually just jumping into the posts between Randy and Redbull about using low end E-machines and such to play.  The original poster only ever said his PC was a year old.

If there is a technical issue causing the low FPS, I can't really help without knowing more. 

However, if the cause is the hardware a person is trying to run the game on is far below the minimum specs, then I can't really feel bad for anybody who is struggling to run this game.  AH-2 already has some pretty outdated graphics compared to other games like Rise of Flight and even Arma-2, and Arma is a first person shooter.

[Tracerfi]

actually the new clouds are the only problem i had not issues with the other clouds

[jeep00]

actually the new clouds are the only problem i had not issues with the other clouds

That is the part that is important. For me, the clouds in 9 13 sector yesterday or the day before, middle of a big map. Looking back/away back to 60, but right at them I was in mid 30's. It is specific to those clouds it seems.
