Thanks for being a buzzkill

Thanks HTC.  I can no longer effectively play a game I enjoy so much.  What drove you to publish such a resource intensive (MHO) game, when your client base might be made up of many folks who could play on 400 dollar systems.  I can't get the settings right to make the game fun... there it is.  200 FPS at 10K, 35 on the ground with no resolution, aliasing off, pre rendering off, min detail, game priority blah blah blah, 20 MBS connection........  with max settings on other version I was happy at 60 FPS.  To the peanut gallery that may erupt, some of us are not rich or gaming people who devote their savings to their systems. I am pretty sure that if we polled the clients we might find different planes and maps more appealing to a change in terrain which allows for very little depth perception at playable settings.  BTW, out of curiosity, what drove the change in terrain, new engine, outdated stuff????  Please fix it whatever it is, this game was a pleasure to play and I enjoy the camaraderie of my squadies.

Nice whine.

Give an inch they take a mile.....

HTC has always been accommodating to low end users (too much IMHO).

Sorry but this update was overdue.....get use to it, get a better comp or take a break.

I defer to the minimum system requirements on the homepage.

I hear many are not playing anymore like this,people that like the upgrade will say take a break don't pay HTC anymore and i agree ,i know in a month if nothing looks better for me ,HTC wont get my money eather.

These whines really get tiring.  If you absolutely can't play because you don't want to play with detailed terrain off or whatever other slight adjustment you may have to make, then leave and go play some other game.  Leave the rest of us alone, we don't want to listen to you cry.  No one wants to watch you throw a temper tantrum on the boards.  It's not productive at all.

Yep, go play another combat simulator, and when you realize how good it used to be, we'll still be here.

They (HTC) should put up a poll. If you like the upgrade and if you dont like the upgrade. And if most of them dont like the upgrade, go back to the old version and just add more planes (cool ones not these new crappy ones) and maps. And if most of them do like it then then keep it the same, but give them about a month to make it better for all of us.

although we all like to see higher fps, if i'm not mistaken, isn't 26fps the most that the human eye can distinguish?

65, the most your tv will do is 35

Im sure HTC would not agree.They like money.

You don't think they're tired of the whines?  They believe they're product is the best.  They will allow you close your account without so much as asking why, in hopes of trying to convince you to stay, because they know if you're looking for better you won't find it and you'll be back.

Since we are just getting the same whine threads, I'll just keep quoting my same post in another whine thread!!!

This is all very amusing. Cut the team some freakin slack. They released two patches in as many days and never mind the fact they probably worked out oodles of kinks you'll never know about in the beta time and well before. If you didn't play the beta and notice some of this stuff and were an active participant than go watch TV or something. Don't act all surprised that your system can't cut it. It's kind of like if you're old enough to vote and don't, you have no right to complain about what goes on.

Obviously the community knows their dedication to the members. I'm sure they expected all of this uproar and quite frankly who cares. I don't need to speak with any of them to assure you they will do all they can to please as many people as possible and fix what they can. Everyone just chill out!

Nobody ever likes change, ask Shuffler. Unfortunately we all need evolve and so does AH. Look at how far games have come in just the last few years. Keep in mind video games are really an infant when you look at the course of technology in our lifetimes. If you want to be part of the solution instead of the problem, keep posting your issues (assuming they are relevant and not related to your Tandy computer) in the bugs and tech support sections. They will do what they can for who they can.

It's your money and if you don't want to spend it here anymore than don't. I'm sure they are prepared to lose a few over it and I'm also sure those they lose will file right back in line once they update their computers. Here's mine.

Vista (Love Vista, never an issue)
AMD Phenom Quad 9600
ATI 4870 Card
4G Ram
Saitek setup (pedals and flight system)
24" Widescreen
Not a fancy computer, nor did it cost me gaggles of moolah to produce. Half of what I have at a quarter of the cost would suffice. Ebay is your friend.

I run the game maxed to hilt with the exception of the shadows and my FR is capped at 60 and stays there.

Bottom line is FRANKIE SAYS RELAX! If that reference is lost on you than you're too young to comment!

Let the team at HTC work out the kinks and you may be surprised, otherwise pipe down and go play Warbirds!

When you close an account they do ask why,i have been there
