Yep, one must back away from the sim sometimes.

Last night it was SBD's at 100 paces, and then Spitfires, Hurricanes, and some really annoying Axis guys over the water in Einstein's server. Great fun!

We all have high expectations for ROF Tvrdi.

No one should ever advocate letting designers off the hook for making their products the best they can be. It's awful that when trying to patch and update this sim, something can get screwed up as a result. Would this happening engender good feelings to anyone, or about whatever product it is they might have bought.

You're understood Tvrdi.

Neoqb must do better, they know this.

I know the following is going to be really off topic, but I'm going to throw it out here anyway, just maybe to loosen things up (if not just for me). Do you know how many irons I've had to buy for the family clothes pressing in the past half dozen years? I've lost count! We used to buy expensive irons expecting better performance and reliability, but that didn't seem to matter, because we got leakers, too many control buttons that got in the way when ironing, and automatic shut-off features that always seemed to turn off the iron before even a collar was pressed. So then we decided to start buying the cheapest irons, or the ones on sale, already expecting the worse. Yep, they were just as bad, only they failed on the most basic functions. Last weekend we bought an old retro-style iron that looked like it was designed in 1960. I was delighted it was even offered for sale, and wondered if its availablility wasn't confirming that our consumer iron experiences were more common than we thought. So sure, our new old iron is a lot smaller but heavier than the wiz-bag plastic ones, and that it might cause us repetitive motion injury, but at this stage that doesn't matter. I just want some damned iron that works!

I know stupid story, about life's 'little pleasures'. My wife says I get worked up too much sometimes about the little things, but then I think to myself.....she has no idea how many games I could have bought instead of all these stupid irons!

LOL! Some times spouses just don't get it...

its not even that...I never really complained about content...I can wait for dog servers...and for any other feature...my frustration with this game started after 1006 patch.....I couldnt play because of serious performance issues...before that ROF was a joy to play...smooth and fast...nice FM and graphics...I waited so long for this...Ive been with them from the start of teh ROF (KOTS) project....now im offline...and recently bought the "latest rig" (also made all the optimisations of the OS all the tricks I know)....we all have our families and our free time....sometimes (spec. during the working week) sims are our stress vent....our hobby....I just hope I would be able to play this sim again......thats all

We all hope for a solution.


A dog server is probably not one of those features we'll be seeing soon.

(we know what you meant)

Hmmm, I wonder....

Shot in the dark, Tvrdi, but right after installing the update before this one I got some stutter and crap, which sounds very much like what you're experiencing. Turns out that Every. Single. File. having to do with RoF was horribly fragmented. And I mean every file in 14 fragments, with big gobs of vital bits of the proggie also nestled as close to the inside of the drives as they could get.

I was actually beginning to wonder how they managed to program the app to do that.

JKdefrag (freeware, http://www.mydefrag.com/) went to work and optimized the files, moving them to the outside where the disk is faster and it corrected it.

And hell yeah, I want the sim to work for you - and for DF servers. I think we need to meet in the virtual skies and have you watch my patented OMG, He's Managed To Flat Spin A Nieuport 17 manuever.

Dart, you already suggested that...and yes, I tried with JKdefrag (now its calling MYdefrag)...
as producer in promo (movie trailers and stuff) Im very familiar with OS/software optimization and even have a decent knowledge in hardware...I tried virtualy everything....from different drivers, bios settings, defragmenting, settings afinity and priority in task manager, diferent settings in Nvidia CP and ingame...even bought a better sound card....but I will try another thing tonight...Masaq from rof forums disabled EIST and C1E in BIOS and he fixed stuttering...I will try this as a last option for me....but I doubt this will help since I didnt touch anything before and right after 1006 patch....

Here's hoping the best for ya Tvrdi...

Seriously.

Pretty vexxing; I sure wish I knew what the magic bullet was to fix it for you, Tvrdi.

Is everyone on Prozac. The love, all of a sudden, for a very vocal RoF basher is omnipresent. I hope others who may voice negative opinions of the game are accorded the same civility.
