You had to say it didn't you?

Er, yes.

Previous post is right up there with "we can win this....."

I am a total tit.

Patch soon-ish...

https://community.sledgehammergames.com ... p/10490379

Good news everybody! Small patch today.

And the bad news.... game crashed after update and now won't run.


Update: Validated the game files, and 38 files failed and needed to be downloaded - that's 4.5Gb.

Maybe it'll just be me...


Update update:

I was me. Data errors on disk. works fine now.

Patch was 80.1 Mb for MP , 34.4 for SP.

However...
"Additionally, Sledgehammer announced that an update for the PC version of Call of Duty: WWII is out now, and it addresses "several issues." There will be a bigger update for PC coming later today that does even more."

"Unfortunately, Call of Duty: WWII's Headquarters social space is still not operating as intended. It is meant to be a social hub like Destiny's Tower where lots of people come together, Sledgehammer made it a solo experience (though you can manually invite friends) to help improve the overall online experience. This is less than ideal, and thankfully Sledgehammer has said it will return Headquarters to normal as soon as it can.

Bugger. Damn. I don't believe it.....


Okay. I have set "preload shaders" to "on", and now I get next to no lag, and a 20-40% increase in frame rates.

The downside is that maps take a bit longer to load. I can live with that...

Great! I must try this

shakes head - I've had these on for every game that comes with them. Sigh.
