Mine crashes constantly so i hope they a prepared for the spam of crash logs lol

Congratulations on that Bug fixing France!!! The CTD this sarkobug generated did affect Uruguay aswell, not very popular here :-P

I hope this motivates them to fix a couple of crashes and release a 2nd alpha soon.

BTW. I had many crashes on Repka#3 server because server cache was not cleared during patching. Server side may also cause crashes.

Very true I'm thinking exactly the same thing, here's to hoping.

Oh yeah btw, i noticed (probably nothing) in my conf.ini Grass=3 normally off and on are 0 &1, wonder if this line might be a problem?

Thanks for the tip Ataros, it's nice to see something positive, and a few people who understand the term Beta.

As for bugs, here in the States our bug squashing time comes this November, unfortunately with so many of them overrunning Washington our job is very similar to 1C's.

With all respect, how long will that take? And, by implication, it will be our fault if the game will not work fine on all machines if we do not send crash dumps? After all that time you offer something like "cooperate or die" ? Sorry, IMO that's too easy and no real solution.

They should make it compatible and working flawless asap. That's it !

And the flip side of that coins is.. If you choose not to DL the alpha/beta patch, or choose to DL it but not send in your dump files, don't be surprised if your 'specific hardware error' does not get addressed (fixed) in the final patch.

There are so many different hardware and software OS, and driver combinations out there that it is unrealistic to expect 1C to account for them all while trying to developing cutting edge software.

In short, this is your chance to be part of the solution, you asked for it, now you got it, step up!

That will be key to this testing working, not only us sending in crash logs, but them turning around updates on a regular basis, weekly or bi-weekly...

They know it but it does not help them.

No one is obliged to help. Only those who want to may help. Others should not install alpha or beta anyway. There are plenty of other games to play till CloD is improved by those who want to help. It may take several years.

If Activision or EA have better developers they can try to produce a better WWII flightsim and make it profitable somehow. There are not many qualified developers in Russia unfortunately.

Thats an excellent point, as frustrated as we get with everything that goes on, we have to try and support these little companies to keep getting us the games we want, sims are not that big over here anymore, everyone wants to put out the next Call of Duty, so the most we can hope for are games like World of Warplanes... I dont want to live in a world like that so an Alpha of IL2 is better than what EA or Activision might publish... IMHO

So send in those crash reports... I will soon as I have one, but i havent yet, thank the sim gods! :)
