I feel very fortunate to have not gotten one of these "broken" copies of ROF.

Me too....its definately ROF thats broken....I must get my money back then for my unbroken copy!

...either that or its MY hardware that's misconfigured and making my broken game run just fine....

...go figure!

I don't really mean to make light of other people's problems. I've had games in the past that I've wanted to get into so bad but they just wouldn't run right on my pc. It sucks and I feel bad for the people who can't play it.

But let's be honest here, it's not just the software, it's not just the hardware, it's a mix of both, and it's why most developers don't want to make games for the pc anymore. There are too many configurations out there to make it work for everyone across the board.

It kind of sounds like XP is a common denominator in some of these problems though.

Softare and ATI.

I didn't catch that for some reason; I left ATI at the x800 card.

One of the reasons I went to nVidia...seems to be a lot fewer problems with everything (like getting the best water in IL-2).

A couple of times during the beta I had some graphic problems where the sky and terrain were all white. Rebooting the PC fixed it. Was using GTX285 on WinXP/32 DirX9c

Since I've been using Win7/64 I've not had a problem. I use a GTX285 with DirX11

And bungalos ...so many bungalos.

It's infected Il-2 now, patch please Oleg

Of course not, it can be a nightmare of complexity especially for people who are just starting out

Look, here's the thing;

1. Just because an application works on your sysem doesn't mean there are no problems with the application.

2. Just because an application doesn't work right on my system doesn't mean there's something wrong with my hardware.

Those who base their 'expert' advice to others (install this, un-install that, re-install the other, and, of course, the ever-popular update all of your drivers) based only on their own experience with their own systems are working from a rather unrealisitic and ego-centric view of things.

It's like the guy who walks across a minefield, and manages to get to the other side safely. "Come on guys! It's perfectly safe!"

Or alternately:

1. When someone asks for assistance, they'll get it.
2. It's usually worth the price one pays for it.

Or, possibly:

1. Just because an application doesn't work on your system doesn't mean it isn't a hardware problem.




What else are they supposed to base their advice on? Somebody else's experience? Rumors from what they heard about some other guy's system and experiences? That's such a rediculous statement it made me laugh, which I kind of liked - nothing like a nice chuckle in the morning!

You've got to be a really helpful soul, Hedgehog, since you don't ever give advice based on your own experiences with your own items.

"Car won't start."
"Sorry, it's not an exact match for the vehicle I own."
"What do you think it is?"
"No idea. Although I have a similar car and lots of experience troubleshooting and fixing it, I don't want to work from a rather unrealistic and ego-centric view of things."

I see it more like this:

reply ... there must be a problem with your ... uh ... look shiney new airframes ... drool ... oh yeah what was I saying again, you are a hater there is nothing ... shiney new ooh ... now I forgot what I was ... oh yes I likes shiney new airframes. Get an NVidia and stop posting about probs or we might not get new ... shiney ... drool ...

Go back and reread this post and you can put names to those who fall for jedi mind tricks and shiney objects.

Well thats the way it comes across to me, just a lot of weak minds who fall for eye candy. The game is good but not perfect. The game runs and has problems just some are overwelmed with glitter to see any short comings.

I'm just 'sayin
