COMPANY OF HEROES 2

Will be ordering this off amazon I think. Not too bothered about playing the beta, I'd rather wait till its finished and officially released. Seems steep on steam for some reason, is just because of beta access?

Love COH1 so I've been looking forward to this. Just don't want to be up **** creek without a paddle when they start releasing patches (like they did on Coh1 - which were a real pain to update). :eek:

The beta is free to anyone, it doesn't require a pre-purchase.

Does anyone else find that the framerate is pretty low compared to the effects and gfx levels.

I am playing at 1440p (i5, 16gb, 7970) but even with medium setting its below 30fps and bugging me slightly. Any ideas?

Tried the beta on my new rig yesterday (i5 4670k @4.6ghz, GTX 780, 16gb RAM) and it nearly made it cry on ultimate settings :eek:

even went down to around 25fps at some points!

I've found on summer maps the game runs fine. Winter maps with blizzard drops fps a fair amount

I sure hope it gets optimized a lot more before release, or else I will be struggling on lowest!

I have my setting quite high and it runs fine mostly. What settings are you using and is your CPU / GPU overclocked?

Sorry don't have it, I was just looking at people's specs and experiences here!

I get freezes every now and then while playing.

Dropped all the settings to low/medium in game res to 66% and it still does it.

I've got an i7 920 with 6 gig ram, 580 GTX 1.5gig. I'd like to think the rig has still got a few years left in it without have to do too much to it.

Do you know whether this game is cpu or gpu limited at 1440p? I seem to remember the original liked top end cpus a lot.

Is there any way to see your wins & losses? Can't seem to find it. Also I miss the server browser, is it coming back? Don't like being forced into automatch games. If they are going that route you best be able to select what map, annihilation etc.

So the game is ready for pre load and it's already the 25th in Asia, if I use a vpn with steam there is no risk of a ban?

BriT · 24 Jun 2013 at 17:02

£40? bit steep, anywhere cheaper?

PsychoPigeon · 24 Jun 2013 at 17:04

over clockers has it for £30

BriT · 24 Jun 2013 at 17:07

cheers.

I got no frame problems or major slowdowns and my rig is only i5 750 @ 4ghz and a 6970 so no idea why people are getting problems ? maybe it needs a card with 2gb or more vram ? and I maxed everything apart from anti aliasing Cats 13.6 beta 2 so maybe it's other players lagging and you are confusing that with you having the problems ?

not in the game neither are leaderboards I'll buy it when it's much cheaper and has those features it's shocking they are releasing an rts game without win loss and a ladder meh

The Multi player lag and drop outs were dire, i hope its just because it was a beta but it's enough to stop me pre-ordering

Surely that just means you can pre download it but not play it (aside from the beta)
