CLOD is not fixed for anyone, the issues are game issues, although generally better hardware will run the sim better.
I dont really have FPS problems anymore. i have stutters down low with trees on but as the trees cause the awful LOD problem ive turned them off.
The in flight CTD have stopped for me since the first "alpha patch" though i still get CTD's in the GUI.

My specs...

i72600k@4.7
8GB RAM
Nvidia 580
Win7

Ditto to Furbs. My gameplay is mostly online, although I did purchase the Disastersoft "Wick vs Dundee" campaign which is excellent. I'm waiting 'til the devs fix the AI Menu Commands so it can be played properly with my AI wingmen. As Furbs mentioned, this is a gameplay issue; technically this campaign runs very well on my system.

Key to running Cliffs of Dover as well as it can be at this point is a good video card and lots of RAM. From what I've gathered, a fast video card with 2 or even 3 Gigs of VRAM is optimal to reduce "stutters", although my earlier Nvidia GTX 560 Ti did quite well with 1.2 Gigs of VRAM, with some setting turned down to Medium.

Best to have Win 7 64 bits as your OS, with 6 Gigs or more to handle both the sim itself (which is only a 32 bit software) and the myriad of background programs Win 7 loves to run in order to make our lives richer and more fulfilling.

A quad CPU is best. Mine is a bit old and slow at 2.67 MHz , but running Task Manager on a second monitor while flying CoD the 4 cores don't seem max'd out. Gateway has seen to protect me from myself, and won't give me access to my BIOS to overclock my CPU a bit. Curses on them. Obviously a faster CPU can only be good.

The 680 vid card is a rip snorter and runs very cool vs my former 560 Ti card. Better value for the $$ is the newer 670 card. Cheaper with almost the same performance. This autumn should bring even faster cards with more VRAM, probably the same for ATI. Very goodresults have been reported with ATI's new 79XX series.

[shameless ATAG plug ON]

Online our ATAG Server has been giving very good gameplay; even better as of last night with our designer ATAG_Wolf's newest mission creation: "Channel Command". It's blowing our minds with menu-selected Objective Generators for both bomber and fighter pilots, lots of random/surprise targets, more clouds w good frame rates, high-flying enemy AI bomber formations with rewards to both sides if you knock 'em out/defend them.....and penalties if you don't. Or just log in for 15 minutes to simply kill something! LOL

[shameless ATAG plug OFF] smile

That's my 2 cents!

Hey Swampy,

I've built a new PC with ARMA/Sims in mind and CLOD runs pretty fantastic now. GTX 670, i7-2600k, 8gb ram, SSD OS drive and Intel rapid storage Caching on 1tb Caviar Black drive which houses my games. I'm still disappointed overall in the title, but it runs much better than it did on my q6600 with ATI 5850.

Try disabling shadows and Land Shading, seems to be the major killer according to this good post of SG1 Lud:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpost.php?p=443746&postcount=16

Personally I have no performance issues (except dust particles on runway), it's more a gameplay/stability issue now (raging noise at my 6-clock suddenly in MP for instance, gamekiller) and AI X-wing roll-rate (fixed in last alpha/beta/ceasar patch but I had to go back to latest release/steam version to stop screaming hebrew curses from my balcony).

Thanks gents, I was actually hoping the game had been fixed to my newly (as my finances would allow) built machine.
2500 K Intel Core i5 3.3 Ghz quad core, unlocked. 8 gigs of Patriiot Gamer ram. I brought over my video card Ati 5480(?) 1 gig of mem from the older machine, so as I see from the replies the card will be a bottleneck. As will the lack of 8 more gigs of RAM. Hopefully upgading those two areas will make up for the i5 not being an i7. Which will mean my 550 watts of power will need to be swapped out for more wattage.

Sigh. Will it ever end?

I don't play very often, and when I do, it's usually just quick missions, but the game runs fine for me. Specs in my sig.

Couldn't say for sure how well it runs with a sky full of aircraft or over London though.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

I think your 8GB of RAM is plenty, you won't be using it all inside an application (other than video editing) anyways. Save the money there for your PSU/GPU. I have 12 on my system, but only because of a promotion at Fry's on the triple channel sticks I wanted, but I *NEVER* see it above 5GB in any game, and that's with any applications I want running behind it (appropriate for playing a game of course, I'm not running any movie editors while I'm playing the game!)

Hello Guyz

Normaly, talking performance means, calling the resolution numbers,Found lot of posts including here that nothing like this is mentiond...... nope
Mine is 1920x1200 with WIN7 64, I7 920@3.92, HD5870 2GB VRAM (UB video disabled)and it is full with low frames over cities an more iven on "Medium" settings.
(not to mention the killer blow of poor FFB functionality)

So please state your resolution,Otherwise your report is almost meaningless.

Hi Guys,

Well, since upgrading to a MSI TWin Frozr 680GTX, CLOD has run extremely smoothly with all details pretty much maxed out. I haven't played online yet, so can't say how smooth that is, but offline play has been pretty nice, compared to my Crossfire 5770's.

Hi Swampy

I am running the game quite well with an i5 2500k @ 3.33, 16 gb mushkin ram 1600mgz(was cheap),gtx 560 ti 1gb,120 Corsair ssd.I built the computer just to run this game and am quite happy with the results. Other than the underlying game problems i have few issues while running the game on mostly high graphic settings(trees low,grass off)My mobo has only 1 pcie x16 slot so i will not be going sli but that is not an issue for me. As snapper said bigger and better cards are coming which will more than do the job.

Ohmie

looking at your specs,I cant imagine anymore horsepower could be thrown at this game, so what does CLOD look like for you?

Hmmm, the more answers that appear the more it seems to be all over the boards. Sounds like it's hit or miss for no particular reason.

Oh well, I can wait till the seas quiet down, or this forum goes into obscurity, whichever comes first.

For me the game has always run! But never perfectly when one defect was corrected another was present. The game was and is playable for my Pc. I must say I only play offline. Every patch has made it better but with some graphic problems or errors. I also only fly one engine planes so I do only now of the behaviour of the single engine fighter. This game is still the best WW2 simulation of all and the continuation of IL2. I have big hope in the future with some moments of depressions when time between patches seems too long. pilot

I might re install clod how is it now? I never had major performance problems but rather the lack of players playing.

The sim isn't fixed by any stretch of the imagination. This latest beta patch is designed to fix most of the stability issues so that the majority of the simmers with average systems will be able to run the sim. The beta patch has caused some Launcher exe problems on my system, but it is a "beta" patch so we will have to wait and see how the official patch stands up.

Before this latest "beta" patch I never experienced any CTD's or Launcher problems. People with above average highly optimized systems seem to run the sim quite well. By highly optimized I'm saying defraged with limited background programs running ,etc. If the developers can optimize the game engine with this patch I think the devs will be able to stay in business to continue fixing the gameplay issues and carry on with the addons. If this patch fails, there would be no point in continuing development as a majority of simmers wouldn't be able to play it and the developers wouldn't have the fps headroom to add AA, AF, and many other resource hungry features.

Current (un-beta-patched) version works fine for me on medium-hi gfx settings on my modest rig: asus G75, core i7, 4GB ram, GeForce GTX 550m w 2GB vRAM. For larger furballs (32+ aircraft, lots of ground objects) I need to turn off grass and dial down the trees.

Have to admit I've lost a bit of interest lately and am waiting to see if the patch helps things. I got a bit disheartened when trying to design a mission which involved 12 squadrons (over 100 aircraft, though never all in player view at the same time) and it reduced the game to a chugging slideshow. You know there are probs with the code if aircraft and objects which aren't even being animated on screen are causing framerates to tank.

I'll get back to it if/when the game is optimised or my hardware catches up!

There is still hope as long as the devs keep optimizing. When the sim first came out I built a mission with well over a hundered aircraft in the air with few issues, although I never put alot of ground objects in.
