I preordered through Steam and I am very dissapointed in this piece of crap they sold me. The software developers need to be held accountable!! See below.

/* rant on

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY ON ANY PC !!!!!
DO NOT BUY!!!!

*/ rant off

My name is Ron, Im a pro-gamer for Angle Gaming Labs b.v.b.a. Belgium.
This is the worst installment of any of the COD's.
NOT a single PC we tested the game on at the office was able to run the game
without stuttering, lagging, jumping, .... you name it.

System 1: custom build
Core2duo E6600 2.6GHZ
4GB 1066 mhz DDRII Dominator Corsair
ATI RADEON HD2900 XT
ASUS mobo
REALTEK onboard sound.
Windows XP 32 bit.
All drivers updated.

--> AVG 50-60 FPS (1024*768)

System 2: acer prefab
I7 quadcore
6GB 1333 DDR3
RADEON HD4600
REALTEK onboard sound.
Windows 7 64bit
All drivers updated

--> avg 20-25 FPS (1024*768) (pretty sad hu, for a system like this)

-----------------------------------------------------------


All resolutions tested, all fancy stuff disabled, no AA, no AF, no nothing.
The renderer, according to my opinion, is not the main problem.

As long as NOTHING happens, you just run around on an empty map, dont shoot, all is well (besides the little jumps in FPS, I notice from the BSP trees loading)

BUT everytime an EVENT happens. For example, an npc spawns, an NPC shoots, I shoot, my opponent in MP shoots, WHATEVER. The FPS drops to 1, causing a terrible hickup. When multiple items trigger an EVENT, the system just comes to a halt.

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY!!

I noticed the link between fps coming to halt and events when something or somebody shoots. So I thought its the sound thats screwing everything up.
Disabling ALL sound, voice, sfx, master.... did NOT change a single thing.

Next I opened up my taskmanager. Whenever an EVENT happens, the CPU

Perhaps its the eventhandler then, but impossible to check for me.
Something is seriously ROTTEN in Treyarch's code, its not id's renderer imo.

What can we do to fix this?
You guys need a real betatester for PC so you can get some CORRECT feedback. (cough, I hereby apply)

What I dont understand is, HOW can this NOT be noticed during development? Answer, my (pissed of) guess, you dont give a shit about PC gamers anymore? The people that made the franchise and gaming big in the first place?

PLS help us ASAP!!!!

Very disappointed,

Ron
Angle Gaming Labs b.v.b.a.

EDIT: What I forgot to clarify is, that it is not a HARDWARE issue, but a SOFTWARE issue imo, or is it? cloggs up to 100%, ALL CORES!!!!!! (thats 8 for my quadcore with hyperthreading), resulting in system coming to halt, fps drops to ZERO.

Try raising your Brake curve multiplier. Mine is set at 280 so I don't lock up all the time.
Lots of sets are made by guys with pedal mods so this effects braking. This is what I've heard anyway.

I fish whenever I can pull myself away from mt PC

PS: Could someone tell me where Doorman is gone???

He's here. http://www.finnglish.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

I miss the ungodly amount of time I spent on CTRA!!! It was bloody fantastic, and the best time by far I have ever had online gaming!!!

Took some shots on vacation and discovered some little friends living on my sensor This shot is straight from the camera in no retouching or brightening obviously!!

I think it might be time to clean my sensor. Anyone done it yet and have any war stories?

Quote from Becky Rose :

Scawen, I miss his patches.

*ducks the ensuing flamewar*

No response to this statement is clear evidence that this game is dying. A year ago even, there would have been a witch hunt to end all witch hunts. To try and find you and make you take back such blasphemy Becky.

Sadly there is not!!

Quote from RiseAgainstMe! :

The more I visit Canada (I live rather near the border), the more I consider moving to Canada when I get a little older. If only it wasn't so cold all the time... everything is just a little less depressing and contentious in Canada and the people are way more chill. I don't know if it's just when and how I've visited, but that's the impression I got anyway.

Trust me having lived in both Countries. We are definitely way more chilled.

Hmmmmmm too many to name.

All the CTRA boys we at RSR/Halfords had so much fun with. Frig that was long time ago in internet time :-)

Quote from pik_d :

Well you can start by uploading yours. Are all your settings like in my screenshot? If not, try it.

I have my settings exactly like yours but my "Total Textures" in memory is 75-76Mb. And your is only 12Mb.
I wonder what the difference is?

Hardware:

Gigabyte mobo
4gigs ram
GTS 250
Dual core 2.6 proccesor
1 TB hard drive 32Mb cache.

Must I bring this image back?



Do they look like safe people?!

You guys look like your checkin out a fine piece of ass with varying amounts of interest

I think sometimes its like buying a car. Some lenses built on Tuesday are better than one built on Friday.

I did my research before buying a Sigma 18-200 walking around lens
It is the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. It is now officially my kids lens to do with as they please. Sometimes the lens makers suprise you with great quality and sometimes you get the SHIT& end of the stick

Quote from DevilDare :

1979 F1 Mod.

'Nuff said.

Brilliant mod.

hhhmmm I tried the F1 79 Mod and didn't care for it actually. But to each his own.

I say buy it...BUT and that is a big but!! Don't try the stock cars that come with it. Download the lite version. Get the HistorX Mod and some good tracks. (An excellent list can be found at dMR's website.) Then read up on how to set it all up and talk to some one who can walk you through setting it up.

You will love the feeling of driving cars over bumps for a change!!! I feel more connected to these cars than I ever felt in LFS.

It isn't as easy to get into a pickup race thats for sure. But you can still race LFS for that. This is an excellent Game to have as well as LFS.

Go for it you won't be disappointed.

Just watched "La Femme Nikita" again. Great movie. Only watch the original not the crap Hollywood remake.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Which doesn't say a lot since 99% of them suck.

Easy now! Just because you have a thing for "The Hoff". doesn't mean there aren't other Superheros

My god the bokeh with that lens is phenomenal!!:woohoo:

I agree!!! I'm drooling And not for the guys

No the license is for a single computer not a person.

Quote from spankmeyer :

The point was that if the program gets used on a regular basis perhaps he should just cough up the money for it.

I know, see my earlier post. This post was a reply to Jack.

Depends how many photos you edit in a month. If you are only doing a few then it might not be needed. But if you are editing hundreds like some of us in this thread it is the biggest time saver EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is also the best organizer and Raw editor I have found.

Quote from mrodgers :

I got lucky!

Hard drive crashed, then Wifey broke Windows and the computer won't boot. I was able to move all my photos off the drive onto the Windows drive before it all went completely kaput. I was able to boot to Ubuntu running off a CD, grabbed a 500 gig external drive, and get everything on C: saved to the external so I can reformat and restore Windows (OEM install, no stinkin CD to repair it with.

Unfortunately, I still had all my edited photos, many of them edited for personal use on screensavers and such, plus I had a "sort" folder that wasn't completely empty yet that I lost. I'm still trying to get the hard drive recognized on boot up one more time, but I think it's a lost cause. Maybe it will be there once more after I get windows reloaded.

But at least I didn't lose the 30 gig of originals nor did I lose my Lightroom database. Though, I did lose the program Lightroom (shhhh, I won't tell why I lost it and can't just reinstall from the CD... )

For lightroom you should buy it for your daughter for school --->http://www.studica.com/product ... ;p_name=Adobe-Lightroom-2
or the place I bought mine from. But it seems to be offline today.--->www.academicsuperstore.com

Your harddrive might have info on it you still want so try this program. It is regarded by experts as one of the best and cheapest. --->http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm

Hope you get it sorted!!

Just getting around to this summers pics God I'm the worlds biggest procrastinator!!

One of my Dad while we fish for Lake Trout. One of my kids just because. And a couple of a local horse that is a willing model.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

I was on RSR Vent, FM vent, looking for you but you never showed up. Thought you had forgotten us so we raced. Was fun pitty we were all on different servers again like we were trying to combat with this thread.

How about this.....Everyone get on Vent first then we can all choose a server and go there together, at the same time, all at once.

Oh ya and HaVoc, Feel my love sweety
