Thread: War Spoils explained by Relic29 Jun 2014, 23:03 PM I think almost everyone would be universally happy if duplicate commanders and skins were removed from the system. Yeah. Maybe reduce the cap/increase drop chance? In: Lobby
Thread: War Spoils explained by Relic27 Jun 2014, 18:08 PM So... absolutely no information. Just make sure you have no life. Thanks Relic... way to crush the little man. In: Lobby
Thread: War Spoils Drop Rate and Rare Commanders27 Jun 2014, 10:20 AM Strummingbird, that's more of a comment on how absolutely shit most of the US commanders are. I've been using armour an awful lot, and its just... pointless. The Jackson is so good compared to the wolverine, and the regular Sherman also does just as well compared to the 105, if not better. Thompsons cost munitions and are on a squad that will never need to use them, and are redundant on the only tank crew you'll ever use outside their vehicle, the M20. Assault engies are similar to sturmpios, Right now it looks like Infantry company is better, just because you get a free weapon rack and a mortar halftrack. The priest is just icing. The barrage is better as its closer to the actual intended target (although the 240mm is devastating when it hits). The extra allied commanders, as OMGPOP says, are just... better. One focuses more on vehicles all game, and refunds their cost, and the other boosts infantry more than infantry company does. The M4E8 is superior to the 105mm. Whereas the OKW have two very powerful commanders in the breakthrough tactics and luftwaffe. In: Lobby
Thread: Patch notes for June 26th, 201427 Jun 2014, 09:02 AM A shame they reduce the tactical possibilities it opens in 2v2. They should rather have given 50% to teammate or so. Played a 3v3 against this strategy yesterday - despite having a tiny corner of the map with fuel, they managed to OP up and truck up, meaning they were getting out king tigers. You can't tell me that isn't broken in some capacity? In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 Westen Fronts runs worse than vCoH2? 27 Jun 2014, 08:59 AM What resource does COH2 use the most? I know it has awful memory problems (if you try and run the game without a page file, then leave it running it will crash if your screen turns off and your computer idles). I always thought it was massively CPU intensive (it uses cores for some of the sound). Surely the GPU optimization should of improved by now with driver updates, but what is the aim? 2GB (the perceived standard?) or the 3/4gb GFX cards that cost >£400? Not clear at all. SLI cards are still not supported either, which leads me to think GFX is a bottleneck. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 Westen Fronts runs worse than vCoH2? 27 Jun 2014, 08:23 AM I've had a similar issue where random freezing will occur. It usually lasts from half a second to 3 or 4 seconds. Doesn't sound like a long time but it can be an eternity in game. I always play the game on high settings, but this shouldn't be a problem with my computer. It was never an issue before WFA. Hopefully it is just a fixable memory leak issue and relic will be able to patch it quickly. That isn't the memory leak. It's been in the game since day 0 for me, and I've never managed to fix it. I suppose I haven't tried, but there isn't any identifiable cause. Every time I list my system specs they say "your CPU is overclocked, disable that". It's a stable overclock that is necessary as I have a first generation i7 (especially for CPU intensive games like COH2). Graphic options have nothing to do with this - the same graphics setting as pre-WA is performing worse now WA is here, and there is not an explaination. There a source on the memory leak post?

Thread: US rifle nade is broken and near useless27 Jun 2014, 08:18 AM I gotta say, the most frustrating thing is when I fired a rifle grenade at a puma (stupid player moved it too close) I watched in horror as the grenade proceeded to explode on the puma's turret, do 0 damage, then he one shotted the remains of my squad (who had stood there while it fired). I was not happy. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: War Spoils Drop Rate and Rare Commanders26 Jun 2014, 17:14 PM FFS, we've explained this already: Elite troops and Industry were PAY TO WIN - none of the others were. They were then balanced, so it wasn't an issue anymore. In: Lobby
Thread: loadout not showing up and delays after WFA patch26 Jun 2014, 15:37 PM Are you saving your loadouts with the tool? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: CoH2 Westen Fronts runs worse than vCoH2? 26 Jun 2014, 14:43 PM I'm on Windows 7 and I've noticed a serious decrease in performance as well. I've had to significantly reduce my settings to make the game playable, and it's still awful. I'm using a GTX680 which is factory overclocked to a similar level of performance as a GTX770. I also still get regular "hiccups" where the game will freeze with no real reason, before catching up and resuming. In: Lobby
