    I’ve been having a problem where I don’t see explosions anymore, and a lot of the graphics are messed up. I’m running Vista, fully patched, with CoH fully patched. Is this just a DX10 thing that you’re working on? Will this patch fix it (please)?

    go to the relic forums then tech support…..this is a common problem.

    I also don’t think this is an appropriate place to post tech questions. Relic/thq has tech support. There are also multiple forums on the net with tech support sections. (planet COH, relic forums, Gamereplays.org).

    Good news on the AWM nerf. Very much needed.

    Now I understand that this wasn’t a balance patch per se, but the damage table bug really needs to be fixed and is the second most obvious needed fix aside from AWM. Just wondering why that fix wasn’t included….

    Looking at the game’s attrib files, the AWM recharge and duration times look unchanged. Additionally, the pink map issue is still unresolved.
    :(

    Whoops, was looking at the wrong data files (having two CoH installs, and having the patcher choose one randomly can be a problem).

    I was really hoping the axis damage tables bug would be addressed. AWM looks good, 25 seconds is perfect for the 250 muni cost IMO :) thanks Buggo..

    Please tell the responsible person for the patches to upload a copy here as well:
    http://www.companyofheroesgame.com/updates/

    Always seems to take anything from days to weeks until the new patches shows up there.

    Good patch, always nice to have memory leaks and crash fixes. :)

    I like the new “memory meter” thing in the options menu, glad to see mine only just pokes over the half-way mark. :P

    im happy for the new patch. but again with new patch i get even lower frame rates than before.

    i have 1.9 mhz cpu, with radeon 9600 and 1gb ram. now becaus eof this, i run the game on lowest settings possible. 800×600 resolution, every graphichal option on low or off, model detail on the lowest. in 1.5 patch when i bought the game i had 64 average fps, then it stayed the same in 1.51. with 1.6, 1.61 it droped to 50 average. when 1.7 came out, frame rates droped to 34 average. and now with 1.71 they dropped again, this time on 26 average. so………

    1 more patch and ill be unable to play the game. why is this happening? im sure its the patch thing, since i ran performance tests just before and after every patch. i gues i do need to buy new computer, but damn…..

    1.9Mhz? You can run CoH on a IBM PC-XT at 26 Frames? Congratulations, Relic ;) .

    Hey ziggy……try forcing “v-Sync” off in your video cards control panel.

    This problem is quite common, and has been mentioned in most of the COH tech support forums online…..
