RE:"So I would say no it does not have a FPS element ... "

OH!! - the let down - the deceit !! :cry: :cry:

The shattered dreams :(

The lament of what this could have been...

Don't worry - I will recover......... eventually - someday....

For those of you playing this right now, how does it faire with widescreen resolutions? Smooth play, or a little slow now and then?

BTW when i installed i saw a notice "you have dual core ... there are issues"

You mean SLI, right? If so, the patch just got released, as Paddy mentioned.

It fairs like you'd expect any game new game to run at high resolution. If you run into a GPU bottleneck, the game scales down fairly well, but I really hope you don't have to do this, at least for the terrain and model textures. But if you have to, the game will run smooth and you can still enjoy the great gameplay. For instance, when running in triplehead, even with just a 7800 I can just drop down the features and it runs fine. But instead I just opt to run in 1280 until I get things figured out.

Great game, highly recommend it (You too, North).

EDIT: As far as framerates go, the game is more than playable at 30+ fps, imo. Try the demo to get an idea of performance, tho the full game may run a tad slower, keep in mind. You can always "try before you buy" of course...

Dual core isn't the same thing as SLI ... Dual core is to do with your CPU.

The "- SLI performance bug fixed" from the patch info should help with the performance on SLI systems and not necessarily Dual Core systems.

but the " - Multithreaded lens-flare destruction fix" from the patch info maybe the fix for the "you have dual core ... there are issues" message Violent Ken got when he installed.

its an RTS and has WS support, nativ

check the CoH singleplayer topic, posted some screens there!

I have to say it's one of the best RTS I've ever played.. I'm in the middle of the campaign right now and it's fun as hell.

I have the full game and played it both before and after the second patch on my system. At 1920x1200 native res it was a little sluggish, even with the physics turned down a little bit, before the patch. After the patch I am running full every setting at 1920x1200 and it runs verrrrrryyyyyyy smooth. The patch helped dramatically.

Fun game.

I hope so, I left it downloading today - got home from work and immediately installed...

Launched the game straight after install and attempted the performance test expecting a good result, but what did I get - 10fps!!!

I mean WTF! :? Is that some joke.. Especially since some of the performace test graphics look pre RTCW!

Still, I'll grab the patch and see if that helps :P

:x Well that Sucks!!

Because I installed the demo into:
D:Game FilesDemosCompany of Heroes

rather than:
C:Program Files etc etc Company of Heroes

The goddamn patch can't find it... Poop!

Looks like an uninstall/reinstall for me then...

:cry:

Sorry about the troubles, but the patch, for the full game, made a huge performance difference for me.
