1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted April 26, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Sweet. So far I have found my 4870 is too aged to run it smoothly enough to be playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Turning off the shadows, while being one of the nicest pieces of eyecandy, does ruin framerates, turn it off and you should get a significant (talking 20+ fps here) boost. The shadows of trees and buildings is what really ruin you FPS. Still they are getting there. WIth a bit more multicore support and the game should run fine.

BluBear Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Good for you delta, glad to hear it. Despite the apparent troubles you're all having i'm still rather jealous of all you 'Clodders'! My PC would probably implode if I even hinted at putting the disc in the drive let alone actually run it lol! Still... you guys are like my beta testers making it all perfect for when I can finally afford a new rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just called Best Buy and told them my computer was hosed. When they sent over "The Geek Squad" I took them hostage and started knocking them off, one at a time, until the store finally gave into my demands. Thinking back now, I should have asked for an i-pad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted April 28, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Do you want my x52 profile for il2 to get you started Delta? I have one for CloD too, but it's very basic as the built in joystick support seems to work well with the x52 Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Just so you know Dave, CloD puts all of the user files in your Docs folder under 1C Softclub. You'll find your Conf.ini, mission folders, skins, etc there. Don't forget to grab the skin folders from your main game directory and drop them into the skin folder in you Docs file so that they actually work.

Don't forget to grab the skin folders from your main game directory and drop them into the skin folder in you Docs file so that they actually work. Aha! The latest beta patch gives force feedback but all it seems to do is make my Saitek Cyborg 3d jump all over the desk like some sort of er, 'adult' toy. I've tried setting FF to '0' in the Confuser file but is don't seem to do anything. Is there another folder I should be altering too?

Jediteo Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 What you could do is just go into the FF folder CloD (under steam) and just remove the punch and mortar effects, pretty much the only useful one is the Spring. There are programs such as Fedit which can reduce the amplitude of the "vibrations" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Good stuff, Dave... Glad you got it sorted out in the end. Sorry to hear you had to upgrade just about everything to get it running though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
