Im no computer guy but it looks like your system is a little taxed by the game. I guess for around 500 bucks you can fix the problem. :devil

So we have different experiences. I didn't play this frame of BoB. I's like to see various screen shots.

On my end, clouds cause a huge frame rate hit but never look quite that bad even when all my settings are turned down.
:salute
For having the crappiest PC of the squad.

besides rooks owning TT, that's why I don't fly there due to the FPS hit from clouds.

You don't need $500 to unsuck your graphics. There are any number of graphics cards on ebay that will make a huge improvement on what you're seeing for a fraction of that amount.
What card are you currently running, or are you on an on-board graphics chipset built in to your mother board?
As I'm writing this, I'm looking at ebay at an ATI Radeon 5770 that ends in 2 hours, current bid is $54.00. That is similar to what I have, and I run this game at 100% on all the detail, high res textures, self shadow, etc.
All it takes is some looking and you wanting to upgrade.
:cheers:
edit: I have a Radeon 6850, the 5770 should be close to that. Probably still more than capable of running this game maxed out.
edit part duex: if you're on a laptop, ignore everything I said and buy a desktop. :)

It might just be my vid card but I beleive there might be more to it than that.
But I have no clue about my computers specs. We had a really nice vid card and now we use a generic one.
But 54 dollars is way better than 500. I'll deffinatly be looking at getting a new when I get paid instead of getting beer :rofl

ebay is your friend. don't be afraid to buy a used one with a guarantee from the buyer, lots of guys upgrade and sell perfectly good used stuff on there for a fraction of new price. All the drivers are available to download, in case the card doesn't come with disks.

Thanks :salute

Yeah, I've lost all respect for Latrobe for associating work MINNoWAR...

Clouds are BS in this game.
They choke out FPS and create lag for most players...and add nothing to game play..its a total waste of packets.
If I had the choice of lagging for graphics it would NOT be for freakin stupid cloulds....mabey some BETTER MAPS WITH REAL TERRAIN AND NOT FAKE WATER OR FAKE RIVERS...SOME BRIDGES TO FLY UNDER...A TOWN TO FLY THROUGH...

I've run with clouds (in the new cloud system) in about 20 special event runnings. Out of the 500 or so players in them, I got 3-5 who said that they had significant frame-rate problems. So, for whatever mix of clouds I was running, it didn't seem to significantly impact the vast majority of players.
The new clouds system has about a dozen different cloud types, so it is possible that particular types or particular mixes cause issues, but other types or other mixes do not.
I'm running "This Day in WWII: Battle of Britain" tomorrow (runs at 3 pm Eastern and 8:30 pm Eastern in Special Events II in case anyone wants to give this fun event a shot). I'll try out clouds there and see how it goes to see if the design I have in mind will work well for the upcoming Battle of Britain scenario (running 4 Saturdays in September, starting Sept 7, running at 3 pm Eastern).
