That's an argument that can be thrown back and forth all day

I just feel your post was a little unfair as amd drivers were a nightmare for some games, and not all that long ago.

Both Nvidia and AMD have plenty of driver issues. anyone making these silly posts saying "ZOMG X MAKES HORRIBLE DRIVERS" are spouting fanboy nonsense ;)

His Hard drive seems buggered, the odd thing is on my 7200RPM drive 75% of the time I load in as one of the first players, sometimes by ages. I get a little quirk when that happens is theres mostly no sound, except for random snippets and the terrain looks like I'm playing on an Xbox 360, then 30 seconds into the game the entire screen jumps to High Settings and the Audio hits me like a punch to the face.

Load times aren't unfair at all. That comparison is just pure bull****. My HDD (7200rpm) isn't as fast as a RAMDisk or SDD, yet I get almost the same load times of SDD as in the video.

And from my 30+ hours in MP, I yet to see that "first Mcom might even be destroyed before people have even loaded" scenario.

Yeah they must be using the slowest HDD known to man in that video.

The game has been hit or miss for me. When I first got the game, I could play for about 2 hours without any issues. Now, I'm lucky to last 10 minutes in around without crashing. Siege of Shanghai seems to be the map that crashes the most for me. At one point, I laced up an enemy tank with C4. I hit the switch to blow it up, and instant crash to desktop :(.

That's because everyone uses Nvidia who makes horrible drivers.

 

Right now I have a GTX 280 ACX and my friend as a newer ATI card and he gets way more crashes than me. Your statement is not valid and people will argue either side and it will end up being 50/50. Lets face it. Both companies write some crappy drivers and both make some great hardware.

Hey the new AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.2 drivers haven't crashed my system... yet!

Not so sure it's a graphics issue. I'm on the latest NVidia drivers, myself. However, I only ever experience crashes in multiplayer. And even then, it's only the game that crashes. The rest of my computer is unaffected.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
