Yeah, I've run into that a few times but it's pretty rare. I don't think I saw this under DX11, only DX12. Been running DX12 since upgrading my MB/CPU/RAM and it's been pretty stable otherwise, no crashes.

I've have zero stutters since upgrading to 32G RAM as well, so there's another data point. I'm also able to run DX12 now - upgraded motherboard/CPU/RAM so not sure which of those (or all of them together) fixed that for me. Yeah, you guys rock! I've been wearing my clan bandana while I slowly...

New motherboard / CPU / RAM installed and running. Gained 12 fps in the game benchmark. Also changed my uPlay name - I'm Ole_Smutty now . A long time ago I my online combat flight sim handle was "-smut-", and I was known as "Smut" online and in the game biz. So long winded way of saying my in...

This game has pushed me into upgrading my PC - MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon, i7-9700k CPU and 2x16G of DDR4-3200 RAM on the way. :) It actually runs pretty good (45-80 FPS, average around 60 - I need to run the ingame benchmark) however that is DX11. Constant crashing with DX12, which sucks...

Cool, I'm in if you'll have me. TomcatTech on uPlay.

So with The Division 2 coming I am feeling the need to upgrade. Stats for my rig are in my sig. I'm looking at the MSI 2080 Gaming Trio. Does the [H] mind approve?

Damn, I might have to fire up D1 this weekend...

A thousand times this. Another thing most people don't know is how his misspending at Origin facilitated EA coming in to bail them out. After Wing 4 Roberts was shown the door. He is a cocky, arrogant one hit wonder of a game designer, and his bullshit is what actually killed OSI. EA buried the...

RIP AB. Guess it's time to stock up on named weapons...

Such a friendly, welcoming crew here. No wonder I don't post more. Whatever, I'm still testing it out myself. On one ship. Your e-peen may be bigger, but I really could care less. And I asked about the date because I can't access the WG site from my office computer.

I put RDF on my Gearing after messing with it on PTS. It's usfull for the reasons above when hunting DDs. Several times in the match I was alerted to an approaching DD so it was useful. I doubt I'd take it on anything other than a DD hunter, heck I probably won't take it on my Fletcher just to...

First game? Red Storm Rising on a work XT (after hours, of course). That led to my own PC, (a 386SX-16) and Aces of the Pacific, Wing Commander, SimCity...glory days. Eventually lead to me getting in contact with the Microprose guys and a tech consultant credit on Fleet Defender. That eventually...

I've been messing around in the PTS and so far I'm really liking the changes. I pretty much stopped playing shortly after 1.2. This looks like it will bring me back.

The low detection of the USN T9/T10 DDs and their great torps make them more versatile than their IJN or RUS counterparts IMHO. I think the Fletchers torps > Gearings, but only due to the longer reload on the Gearing. Gearing is a very capable DD killer if it gets the drop on a RUS DD. I can get...

Hearing you guys are having BB issues is making me feel a bit better - I couldn't figure out what the heck I've been doing wrong lately. So I've been running mostly DDs myself. Got the Udaloi and still getting the hang of it. I took advantage of the favorable XP conversion rate over the weekend...
