Yes it didn't crash but frames were <1 in the big mash-up. I don't know if blues had the same thing because they seemed to be getting hits on target. Once the main group had broken up then frames were fine.

Question though. At the scramble bases in the map will all squadrons be available? What I mean is that I can choose #501 as the squadron from any of the bases. We need the codes when forming up.

Yes.

Did you all restart your machines before the battle or had they been on all day? I was getting about 25 frames minimum during the raid by the 27 Ju88's... It was bearable.

All those fps drops were caused by bombers leaking fuel and coolant. Smoke behind theme is just frame killer so You have to have rally good hardware to survive furballs like that with no fps drop. That was only for test purpose, and there will not be 40+ contacts around You during campaign. Hoping for patch next week, or new graphics card and RAM.

Osprey and Wolverine what are your system specs?

We were the first group in to attack them and there were no leaks at that point. It seemed to be a pure numbers problem.

I have a good rig Farber, i5 2500k and 560Ti twin frozr.

That is mid set Osprey, it's ok but not "good". Bombers could be shoot by artillery as well. Anyway it's the game problem not server.

I had to roll my drivers back 2 years to get what I have now... :rolleyes: Lets hope official Grail patch arrives Friday...

Dev, it's not a mid set, it's high end. It may be for this game though since anyone with a real 'mid set' can't actually play - I always buy just off the top and I'm not due an upgrade for a little while. The 560Ti is ranked 18th at the moment - 3DMark performance is 75% of the GTX680 - the present leader. The i5 2500k is (perhaps was now) the fastest retail chip in the World when OC'd. I'd hate to think what you consider obsolete ;)

Other than that yes, it's a game problem.

Osprey, pleas mate don't argue for no reason. If someone ask You about spec be more specific, maybe then someone will poit Your problem. If You say I5 2500k and GeForce560 that means medium range system. What about rest? Motherboard chipset(at least x58 is high end), RAM frequency voltage and timing, processor speed and temperatures, your Is Your gtx 560 1GB VRam or what 3GB vRAM is minimum for high end spec, What is Your hard drive speed, maybe SSD? How is Your system healthy, drivers, windows registry? Game resolution? If You had High end spec 6 months ago, You have to add 500euros today to have it high end. Send Your full spec then I can help You.


P.S just move that discussion to Technical threads section. This thread is about campaign, not technical problems...

People, the issue is the same regardless of the server or ping. See the thread on the fastest public us based server ATAG, they have the same issues. Not a lot to do with the server.

ATAG stutters

I always flew bombers in IL-2 and have been giving the Bf-110 a try and the multi engines flying in groups cause all types of issues never mind there are some issues with the damage effects causing even more pauses and stutters intermittently.

When I was living in NZ and playing IL-2 on a US server I had a 150-200 or so ping, yet my frame rates where fine and lag was not a huge issue.

Even with the new graphics of Clod we should be able to tune our video settings for sp or mp for whatever FPS you like, (me im happy with 30+ some want 50-60) and always have a satisfactory experience. The server ping or speed is not really the issue. (though a higher ping will cause lag but not these freeze ups.)

The issue is still Clod MP is broken. So lets hope they fix it one day so we can experience the simulation we purchased working as intended.

Peace.
