Uhmp. Isn't Vista supposed to have problems with this turned off? Actually I hesitate to twitch that deep in my system just for some stutters that should not be there in the first place.
|
A Collision model for trees sounds pretty awesome. I really hope that its possible in the nearest future. For me its the worst issue in terms of atmosphere
Just imagine you're sitting in a plane with dead engine and you're desparately trying to find a spot to land with a ground full of trees etc :-) |

You can allways turn it back to on if you need to, many gamers turn it off from bios because of problems with games. |
*Holds hands up* I had a dodgy download. From 25 FPS earlier,it is now excellent (50 plus)
Ok, did a complete reinstall (year zero) wiping out all traces of CoD from system (registry the lot). I would recommend trying this if you are having serious problems too, and nothing else is working for you. Can confirm the framerates are now superb, performance is generally good barring slight microstutters at low level. Still not a fan of new landscape and different pits look (though the reflections are now back after my corrupt download and complete reinstall). Overall, fairly happy thus far. Have yet to test new Spit prop addition. I apologise for playing funny buggers and being a sarcastic gimp prior, lol (have removed the post). :grin: My performance was horrific prior to the complete reinstall though, in mitigation. Also remember (very important) to check that 'Stereomode' for 3d in confi.ini has not reset itself (it does) with a long string of numbers (6 figures or so I think beginning with '3') and keep it to 0 (your 1c SoftClub folder, not the other). Much better now. Yours penitently, Orville. Cheers. :grin: |
tested online, no issues at all (though ATAG server crashed afaik before I could enter, at around 82 players), AI still behaving crazily, the next patch will be welcome for that.
|
My Game has just got the patch. I must tell you IT'S WORTH IT!!!! :grin:
You will see what I mean ;) |

I captured the dedi server's cpu usage with 70 people on. http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/1369/dediusage.jpg And the bandwidth: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2103/bandwidth70.jpg I've raised netspeed again just incase the server wanted to use more. 20mbps of upload isn't really much with a 10gbps line. We'll see if it helps :rolleyes: But so far, for performance online is very very good.. Best ever IMO. |
thank you very much for the patch and csp for spit

Dear Luthier,
I would consider little more important than a Spitfire with a constant speed propeller. The RAF has already foregone 100 octane fuel and are suffering with the two-stage prop. FM and AI fine, but still not the actual Spitfire type which was in battle? |
the spit 1a may have a cs prop but its still a slow ass POS
|
That'll teach me to assume.... I saw the readme and didn't wat to read it a 3rd time! Apologies to Luthier. Looking forward to the Spitfire CSP :)
|
Well downloaded this beta.
I like what I see a lot No stutters its all smooth, untill i get a launcher.exe crash every time some times quick sometimes after 10 minutes never later. The first installment of the game dint have this problem. So unplayeble because of launcher crash. Niels |
Sounds good. Can't wait to finally get on the ATAG server now that there's an official patch.

Runs more stable, sounds and colors are amazing, FF seems better as well.
But... I lost some 20 FPS compared to the latest official patch. And I OC-ed my system in the mean time! Specs: i52500k @ 4.5 GHz Asus P8P67 EVO GTX 580 Lightning (driver v. 275.33) 2x4 GB RAM Res: 1920x1200 EDIT: And no, I don't have Epilepsy Filter on. |
What cooling do you have on that rig Thor?
|
Update your drivers to 280+, huge difference.
|
The greenish windshields for the hurry and the spit are back :) More perfomance compared to the previous beta, in terms of smoothness. Added damaged engine noise, be careful to your ears... Now the enemy gunners are snipers, if you chase a 110 for more than few seconds in the same position, the gunner will kill you. The Ai doesn't seem improved, crazy rolling rates for the enemy planes. The crazy shaking head when the engine is damaged, simulating a vibrating cockpit now is less epileptic, the same when you push forward your stick inside a spit or a hurry and the engine starts to cough.
This is my first look, in general the Devs made a very good work this time. |

Same here, absolutely no probs, love the new sounds, Spit taxis a lot better, guns more effective, shot down 6 109s in mission, [ sorry about that blue's] could'nt be happier. Big thankyou to Luthier and team. |
new reflections on propellers when you see the aircraft outside
it depends the light of course i notice this on STUKA love the reflections on the pit now the orange colour style on the gauges in the BF110 return:( the AI is crazy no AA new COMMANDS ON RADIOS BUT DOESN'T WORK waiting for the next patch big hit on fps with clouds new sounds in some details[on engine fail..] loadouts still not working on SP good performance overall BF-109E4 PP fixed,also not automatic radiators anymore:grin: please keep them coming....:grin: |

Wierd. I have a Noctua cooler, twin fan but only the single block (yes it's fantastic, and quiet too) and a 560Ti card but when I OC to 4.3 ROF/COD will freeze requiring a hard reset the moment it has to do anything hard. Now, I'm no OCer but it dented my confidence in the whole thing :( I'm running stock right now, need to have another crack at it. |

Noctua ain't your problem there. :) More likely you didn't run Prime after OC'ing. I too have had similar experience with CloD - nothing crashed my rig except CloD first time I took it to 4.5 GHz lol. The (quick) mission in question is something with allies attacking a column, e.i. lots of ground objects and planes. Now that I have done my homework, run several days of different Prime stress tests with highest priority it all works like advertised. |
Would it be possible for someone to upload the maddox.dll for those of us with the russian version of the game? =]

Anyone noticed if the proppitch of the 109E1 to E4 (manual) have now correct speed?

Really good patch. Now most things seem to work again. I am back to Clod:)
Hopefully the new graphics engine brings SLI along and also Anti Aliasing. Long needed Features!!! Winger |
Patch seems good so far, but can we get the severe fps drop with dust and clouds sorted please.

Feedback after some testing:
Thanks for giving reflexions back. The cockpit now looks really good! Thanks for giving the 109 realistic proppitch rates now (manual proppitch. Haven't checked for automatic). Sounds are really great now (and luckily removed sinking-ship-sound-during-tight-turns) Thanks for CSP for Spit 1a. Not so good: The almost-as-crazy-as-before roll rates are back. Was much better before. My hope is that they rework the AI more in-depth in the future than just adding some additional features to old IL2 AI combined with unrealistic roll rates Radio com still does not work and is still almost inaudible for RAF side. Testing the speed of the 109E3: No change (I have not given up hope yet). There's a graphical glitch when zooming out in external view of a Spit 2a (did not check for the other spits). I would post the screens if I hadn't lost them right now (must have pushed the wrong button). I try to reproduce it soon and post them. Meanwhile I try to describe: From middle range looking from outside on the black side view of a Spit 2a the lower nose part and the oil cooler look wrong. The side of the oilcooler is white but should be black. And just a little more towards the spinner on the rim of the camouflage engine cover (left side) and the black bottom side there is a gab. Both disappear when zooming in further. |
Frame rates seem pretty much the same as I run with vsync on, but the sim seems much more fluid now. Even down low buzzing airports, forests and such. I hope this is good omen for what is planned for the future patch.

Having problems when I try to update.
Every time I try to update the game after I've installed a patch it doesn't seem to work. I will double click on the game and it will act like its going to start but then just stop. I click on it and the small gray box shows up telling me that its launching and then there is the blue loading wheel and then nothing. This happened last time too and I've had to uninstall CLOD and then reinstall it in order to update. Anyone have this problem or have a fix?
|
I'm seeing texture going invisible again and no buildings.
Their there, but invisible. I can see the building shadows, and the cockpit is also dark shadow when inside a invisible hanger |
How do I verify the cache in steam ?
|
ok, just downloaded patch .. thanks for the effort all.
initial findings, created a scenario with E4's bombing a airfield in the 'fields' map, with 6 Ansons circulating around ... (1) why do the E4's sound like they have a jet engine externallly and a lawn mower internally .. did the E4 have a new engine compared to the E3? (2) game froze with my aircraft hanging in mid air while everyone else (AI) fought it out. ... additional .... Ok, fixed the unstability a bit with a cache verify. But sounds are still a problem, are they historically correct? emil don't sound right, as well as the defiant. And the Defiants guns have lost their 'Bang' replaced with minor pops ? I hear the engine more that the guns ? is this correct ? .. additional 2 .... and the night missions are VERY dark .. even with a full moon. Funny thing, game clock says 4PM, should be 11PM .. additional 3 .... Flying a 110, I couldn't hear the engines (internally) but could hear the the wind ? I LOVE the sound of the airframe straining when pushed to the limit! .. still testing .. . |
@Flyer
open steam,library,right click on il2 cod,properties,local files,verify integrity of game cache! Cheers! |

Gratifying surprise, thanks Luthier ;-)

Thanks for the patch. Just took the E4 for a quick spin over london, definitely less stuttering, fps average around 25-30 at 100m, with min fps never lower than 23. I also love the new sounds, keep it up.
|
For various reasons my game has been shelved for quite some time now but I must say that although I've only had a chance to do one early morning quick mission over the coast of France, the experience has been greatly improved since when I last played on my old rig. Immersion factor greatly enhanced! Good work, guys! Keep it up.
|
Yeah, performance is really rised for new level, good job guys.
What is weird i sometimes when playing got better performance than othertimes, if not getting 60fps, launching game again and it smooth. Same for when chancing missions. Overall stuttering is reduced VERY MUCH. Kankkis |
And those sounds...lovely! I wouldn't be able to say whether they're lifelike or not but they do sound very nice. Reminds me of IL2 of old when we could clearly hear the bullet hits and the wind rushing past -- only much better.
|
I have I5 750 , 4GB RAM, 460Gtx and Win7 and i wonder how anyone ever got a performace boost. I still am unable to fly without horrible performance (unplayable) and i tried to change sooo many things in BIOS, Nvidia controlpanel etc etc.
|
Widow, are all your drivers up to date? i´ve read somewhere that for geforce u need driver version 280+ for an actual improvement, also have u disabled unnecessary background processes? Is CloD on the exception list of any realtime anti-virus software?
btw. what type of ram are you using? |
Same old song
As Launcher exe sufferer (I'm not alone), I eagerly awaited to see what the "official" 1.05 download would bring. Having listened to the Dev's and moderators telling us to wait for the update and not to judge the Sim by the Beta's. I launched the Sim with bated breath. Hooray, I've got onto a server other than Doom Island, took off over The Channel, what's that, 4 Gladiators, I shot 3 down, whoopee. What the *&%$, stutter, stutter, crash (that's the Launcher exe type). So what's happened, loads of eye candy but no progress on what is still a fundamental problem. So Luthier, do you and your Dev's actually know what the Launcher exe problem is, and if so, when is a fix coming out. I don't know why I put that last sentence in, I've never had a reply to my other posts to Luthier. And to the Smart Alec who suggested that "yesterdays" PC owners shouldn't be playing the game, I say this. "Your todays PC will tomorrows yesterday PC".

Many thanks for keeping up with improvements ...really appreciate it.
I always know when Steam has been at work because the 'splash Screen " is back after I had disabled it.I may be wrong but this screen does seem to affect my already low FPS & I always disable it after a new Steam automatic patch.My question is :am I kidding myself & should I bother? Hope eventually you will figure a way to boost FPS on lower end machines, 7 graphic cards & radio ,loadouts & mirrors will all be workable some day soon? Thanks again. |

Just did a quick testrun. Every thing was fairly smooth, except when I managed to hit the fueltank of a Hurricane which left with a face-full of fireball and smoke. Apart from that, little to no stutters, even low down. Don't have an fps-count (I've forgotten completely how to activate it), but I'm running the 11.9 driverset for my 6870, and everything ingame maxed out (yep, I'm silly like that).
Sounds are simply AWESOME! Got shot down twice because I was too busy doing flybys to notice the Spit that came in behind me. Also like the colors, and also really don't understand the negativity that's come up in regards of the cockpit colors. Then again, I spend most of my time with eyeballs outside of the cockpit apart from the reglementary half-eye on RPM, Boost and temp-gauges... |
I have to say that I was airborne for over 2 hours last night without a hiccup or disconnect so whatever you guys did to fix that big thumbs up for you guys for this.
Now when can we get an F-4?? :) |
@fjordmonkey: type "fps START SHOW" without the "" into the console ;) .
btw its case sensitive ;) ;) |

Game Settings: Everything medium except: Forest-Low Texture-High Grass-Off Shadows-On Roads-On All 3D graphics settings done on GPU, turn off in games graphic setting. Turn Spit/Hurri mirrors to off. Hope this helps.. What racks me off about this sim is that my PC is well within the published spec. I'm not bothered about having waving grass/trees etc, if I'm that low to the ground, I'll join the Tank Corps. Regards Vonte |
Has anyone else noticed the RGB color reflections on the instrument panel and also on the external views, since updating with the new patch? Any fix for this?
Thanks, Ed |
Noting downloads.
Checking on steam it says : there is nothing to download for this play The old version has stopped to work so now I cant play anything. Nothing new are downloaded ale files are dated 01.09.2011 Is there differt time on differet places the download is awaylabel from? Can I set up steam where to to download from. Wher is so that menu. |
@mdgtmstng: turn off the epilepsy filter in the settings menu ;)

To do that the IL2cod has to start.

I must say, that performance is great , although i miss old cockpit reflections.
This sim is becoming better and better, the announced 50 percent performance boost is incredible, is it using DX11 engine???? And can we expect 64 bit support like dcs a-10??? |
There is no thin blue line on my property screen- menu DLC
|
Thanks to everyone involve in getting the latest patch to release.
Steam downloaded update yesterday sometime. |

Your system is pretty basic for such a demanding game. With a 32bit version of Windows u are limited to how much Ram u can utilise and this game definitely benefits from 8gb of system memory or more under a 64bit windows. I would definitely turn trees and shadows OFF as both of these will stress your graphics and eat your framerates. You may benefit from setting Textures to medium as well. Be careful what u let your nVidia gpu settings do as they may be trying to force settings that also are sucking up your gpu processing power. I would personally set most of them to application controlled and then set whatever want in the game settings. Hope this helps. |

Edit: what Torian said... |
I must say this version seems more stable than the stock release!
Thanks all! . |

Correct me if I'm wrong. |
nice new patch, ...
... now the sim slowly comes closer to what it was supposed to be on release day.
:mrgreen: |
Yesterday evening had a 2+ hours mission over the channel with my virtual wing in 2 formations (4 ship each) patroling Dover - Calaise route on Repka full real with 109 E3s and i (we) have to say:
THANK YOU DEVS FOR THIS AWESOME UPDATE!! Perfrmance increased a lot,i havo 60 frames constantly (vSync ON), going to 50 when something explodes around but.. Who Cares :D Sounds are awesome, graphics too (flying with everything maxed out except for buldings and trees set to low) and there's a lot of immersion while in close formation earing all 4 A/Cs engines :D Keep on this way, this sim is growing up in the best way. S! |
A visitor in the cockpit
Believe or not: today as I was trying the new patch, flying a single quick mision on a Spit, I got a brunette sitting on my lap !!!!!
So far I've been unable to duplicate as to print the screen,but she was lovely in her summer dress....Is that a kind of Easter Egg of the dev team? How can I get it again? By the way...GOOOD JOB and GREAT SIM |
simply choose the Heartbreaker model ;)
|
As most PC games released these days are bug cities, I think we should create a new date - PRD - "Playable release date" or RRD etc, usually 6-8 months after.
Of course this is bad news for developers as no-one will buy on the RD, they'll wait for PRD, smashing their profits. Although DLCs will be more valuable? . |
The first beta patch would run the black death track at 55-60 fps.
The second beta patch dropped to 25-30fps. This patch also runs at 25-30fps. :( Epilepsy filter was off. driver was 285.27 I rolled back to 280.26 and changed resolution. Now getting 55-60 fps again. Strange thing is I had the rez really low at 1360x and truned it UP to 1600x and fps went up! Or at least back to normal. Don't know what is causing these big dropps in fps for some of us but try changing your rez and drivers. It got nothing to do with epilepsy filter anyway. |

This patch is for ATI/AMD owners, Nvidia performance is terrible. Back to the shelf with this one and waiting for the next official patch. Quote:

Well it is working with great fps now. usually 50-60fps.
I have everything on high except trees and land lighting and can fly full power at tree tops at 50+fps with almost undetectable stuttering. abet with low rez 1360x768 I really don't know what was causing my fps to drop to around 30 but it sucked bad! And I'm glad it stopped. I couldn't play at that rate. Anyway the game is now working better than ever and the smoothness is probably worth the cost in pretty graphics. The bf109 cockpit just doesn't look as good IMO. Still over all very happy. Great game we have here now! |
Flying again, just wants to tell you.
The "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" made the download start. (on the game lib-property-local files menu. Thanks to Tully_ |

Just change it, load a mission and change it back. That's all I did and it seemed to fix the FPS issue I was having. |

Hear what you said about GPU settings, but you are contradicted by PC Pilots excellent article on "how to improve fps". Their tests proved that letting the application tell the GPU what 3D settings it required was grossly inefficient. Still I'm, no expert, I just want to fly combat missions. From all the sufferers of Launcher exe failures on forums, I know I'm not alone. My "crap" PC flies Gaijins Beta "World of Planes" just fine!! Thanks for replying anyway. |
No luck. It works now, but on a quick mission "Allied column attack" or smth. every time I get on 109's 6 OC I get CTD. At first I thought I might have an unstable OC but the same happens with stock settings.
Shelving it until the next patch. There are other simulations out there to play until this comes out of beta. |
Ihave the same experience....
about your post, I wrote e long report here some days ago, intended as feedback about driver or bug troubles, but when I was very next to the end of the report, I closed the page for mistake and then warried thinking to rewrite it again :( :( :(
So I take this your post and add my results only: I get better results at 1920x1080 resolution then 1600x1200, 1372x???, 1024x768. To semplify it I got at the higher quality settings possible: 17fps for 1920x... 15fps for 1600x... 11fps for 1372x... 7fps for 1024x... on the London mission flying among 50mt and down to the houses level. I think it is a problem of COD and not about drivers but I'm not sure. What about it? I would like to try the acclamated "black death" track, but I can't find it anywhere. could you post a link to download the track? Quote:
