The first thing I did after installing the latest patch was this flight around London and general idiocy. It works, and works good (enough for me)!

During the course of this thread i've seen people jump up and flail around like headless chickens claiming the patch screwed everything up, then post a couple of posts down the line saying that everything is fine.

There's a bunch of FAQs and all sorts of guides around, but i get the feeling nobody bothers reading them. Apply the patch, clear the cache folder, restart you PC and run the sim, standard procedure by now for all patches and that's why i see improvements with every single patch.

The pitch issue has been adequately explained, how it should work, what the sim tries to model, how it works on a slider, how it doesn't work when using buttons, back around page 14. Yet, the issue still keeps coming back and most of all, without sufficient explanation and in some cases with conflicting statements, adding confusion.

We're going around in circles here, let's make an effort to keep things consistent and the information easy to find. It's in our benefit to do so, because it makes it easier for the devs to see what works and what doesn't so they know what to focus on.

I know some of you are frustrated with the sim, but there's also a lot of people who make useful contributions becoming frustrated with having to explain the same thing over and over again in multiple threads, which hardly anybody reads and in the span of less than 10 posts they come up with inaccurate information about the exact same subject.

Some of us here should stop acting like they're jumping into a room where they're granted an audience to receive answers in the form of chewed foor and start being a bit more proactive in how they look for information, being polite to the people one is asking for help doesn't harm either. If one out of every five people jumps in repeating the same thing over and over again and taking the thread in circles it's counter productive for everyone, including himself.


I'm not trying to be a smart*ss here or play backseat moderator. I'm trying to say that there are easier and more efficient ways to maintain our knowledgebase of issues and tweaks for the sim. So please, read back a couple of pages before you post, 90% of the time you'll find the answer you need.

You know maybe we should wipe the whole forums clean and have a thread title with posted issues and system specs..no BS replys to it either

If you have the same issues as someones already stated then you just +1 with your spec..again no BS answers

As it stands now what were doing and what the devs are doing ISNT working..FACT so i suggest this so as to stop going round in circles with these damm patches

skouras 05-19-2011 06:19 PM

also over London some brown lego style buildings appears for me after patch:confused:

Please go back a few pages, skim through the thread and you'll find the answer. It's been explained maybe as less as 3-4 pages back and a hotfix is on the way.

Sorry if i sound rude, it's definitely not my intention, but what you describe is what everyone has just been talking about, it was explained and we also got developer feedback on the issue.

As a temporary workaround you can set throttle to keyboard and pitch to your axis. As long as the axis on your stick is near its center positiong your pitch will stay steady, as long as it is near the edges the pitch will change. Hope this gets you up and running until the hotfix is applied ;)

Yea I figured someone else had brought it up previously but I wrote that late last night and at the time I didn't feel like reading through all of the previous pages. I was more or less just looking to vent some of my frustrations. I think what I am going to do is to attempt to not play this game for 3 months or so and come back when they've worked everything out. Hopefully by then some new graphics cards will be out too so I can upgrade mine.

The patch did not address the first two issues as stated by Luthier before, as for the third issue.. what are you graphics settings? And if you say "HIGH" please note that you have a "MEDIUM" PC you are playing on..why would you expect HIGH performance on that CPU?

I had that issue pre-patch in the SP mission where you take your totty up for an evening flight in the spitfire towards the end of the British campaign.

The problem was caused by my initial viewpoint being inside the pilot models head. I had to SHIFT+F1 to switch through the views so I could see where I was going.

Switching to an external view and then back to cockpit view caused the same problem and I had to SHIFT+F1 again to correct.

Maybe it is the same problem for your friend?

OK!

Entered JG-Oldies, chose my plane, ammo etc. Took off, shot down some low-flying 109 and RTB. Noticed nothing wrong apart from some trigger lag and a severe lack of players.

What should I be looking for in order to become terribly disappointed with this version?

Redroach 05-19-2011 07:13 PM

try ordering your Wingman to RTB. Or have your personal Callsign. Or get an individual serial number. (+ at least 100 other points)

Ali Fish 05-19-2011 07:24 PM

Tree issue still remaining, they will not work unless set to LOW prior to game booting up.

ive resorted to deleting everything in a vain effort to get rid of the stuttering and the ultimate stutter that comes in the form of a launcher crash. hopefully re installing might help.

Rattlehead 05-19-2011 07:24 PM

To follow up on my previous post:

I've tried every AA setting under the sun - it does not work, period. (In my instance.)

Can confirm clouds flicker when you fly through them.

Can confirm default screenshot key no longer works. I have not tried another key yet.

On the other hand, I like the new prop pitch method in the 109. It just takes some getting used to.

hallas 05-19-2011 07:32 PM

Still not seeing the official patch here (U.S.) Ive tried a every way to trick Steam into finding it (short of removing local content and then restore)
Anyone else in the US gotten the patch? Any ideas otherwise?

Is me or SSAO is less frame killer now ?

GOZR 05-19-2011 07:33 PM

Crossfire is horrible , no improvement what so ever.
Stutter all over.
I'm extremely Disappointed and i'm still didn't find the interest to really fly a mission or fly online.. Harsh words but a reality.

Some serious work need to be done on the flow of the game to capture people.. and this should be the upmost priority.
There are many say from the devs that hard to believe and are unbelievable. I wont go there but it's time to get serious.

Fair enough, I stand corrected on those two issues.

I think my expectations based on my cpu have been realistic so far...I have been one of very few people not to ever complain about the performance of this sim as I know the limitations of my cpu.
I was merely pointing out that over industrial areas, I experience an alarming drop in framerate...usually single digits, whereas over even London things are looking pretty decent with this patch, considering my old cpu.

If it's because of my system then that's fine, but surely I must still report what I feel may be an anomaly regarding the performance over industrial areas?

I still get massive fps loss when over industrial areas.

F.e. in the channel free flight in the 109, I fly low over the town, when being around over the middle of the town, I pause the game. Then I`m panning the view. Looking into the direction of the industrail area, the fps halves.

Settings are medium to high, fullscreen 1980*1080

You know of course is YOUTUBE pauses to buffer more VIDEO that it didn't appear that way in the game right????? You also notice that his view system is not TrackIR so its not going to look as seamless.. I saw no pauses in the portion of the video I watched.. only buffering from Youtube as the video loaded

Do you have SSAO OFF?
Do you have the Epilepsy Filter OFF?

Your system should run the sim very well.. Your VCard has 1.25 G iof VRAM on it... try lowering the building detail to medium.. If buildings are set to unlimited try HIGH. You should be able to find a sweet spot at very good settings where the game is fluid..

You need to remember that the cities are insanely details..at the highest settings you need the highest hardware.. I have a single 6970 Card and it has 2 Gig VRAM which runs the game great.. there are a couple of driver related graphics things..but its smooth as silk even over London.

Here is what I would suggest..

Pick a quick mission, use that as your test mission. Enter the mission and immediately hit SHIFT/TAB and type fps START SHOW then hit enter and then SHIFT/TAB again to close the console. You will see a baseline fps number.

Exit the mission and go into Video Settings and try lowering a SINGLE setting. Go back and rerun mission See if it had any effect.. not only on fps but how it looks.. You will find that some things on LOW use as much fps as when they are on HIGH..so might as well use HIGH. Other things on Medium look the same as HIGH and save you lots of fps.. Tweak one thing at a time and see what is best for your setup.

When the Original IL2 came out I bought a new Rig for it.. over Cities the game was unplayable.. slideshow.. everywhere else it was fine.. this game is similar because its a matter of how many triangles you need to create and texture.. those cities are detailed enough for a first person shooter let alone a flight sim.. The good thing is I got a new system this time and I can run HIGH settings over London fluidly..

That could be different.. They did a lot of work in the first couple of weeks optimizing the city buildings they had and it made a HUGE difference in performance over London as you can see for your self.. maybe they did not work on the industrial structures to that same level or there is a particular set of features that are causing it.. If that is the case its a matter of re optimizing the industrial 3D models.. I thought your issue was over built up areas in general

True, it's not perfect. I never claimed it to be.
Notice my hardware (which is nowhere near yours I suppose), and notice the settings (and consider there's also video recording going on). Are you seriously expecting better performance? If so- there's your problem.
Right now nothing (apart from my skill) prevents me from sticking to my opponent's six, even with this huge city around us, and this is good enough.

Maybe I'm just lucky, maybe I spent a couple hours testing settings and reading advice on these forums, but I can fly in this simulator. Now all I need is the missing content and just need to wait patiently for that.

My findings
 
3 Attachment(s)
I tested this update as previous; running the Black Death track as recommended to obtain frame rates, then free flying over Dover and London and observing average frame rates. The BD track definitely has additional detail to what it had previously, and is ‘de-magnified’ to produce a more wide-angled view. For this reason results are not comparable to those obtained prior to the update, as the amount of detail being rendered is currently greater.

Settings, processor and gpu usage are as shown in the attached images, driver version 11.5, CCC settings at default, cpu and graphics clocks at default, VSYNC off for the benchmark and on for the free flight, frame rates measured using the in-game display, second run results shown:

14413 (avg, max, min): 37, 81, 14
14550: (avg, max, min): 29, 70, 10

Flying over Dover at 1000 feet the frame rate varies around 42 – 45 fps, dropping to 35 at roof-top height (previously closer to 50 and 40 fps respectively). Although it is a bit slower than previous, it seems a lot more fluid, and the frame rate doesn’t drop as much when looking at the burning fuel depot. Over London at 2000 feet the frame rate is around 37 (previously 45), and at roof-top height around 32 (previously 36), but again seems smoother than before with less variation.

IMO it seems as if the graphics pipeline has been optimised further, which is currently allowing more detail to be rendered than previous, which is also resulting in a lower frame rate, but is more consistent. Cpu loading is a bit greater on one of the cores (previous ~75%, now ~80%), although the rest seem the same. Gpu load was 100% (both screen shots are after completing the BD track).

I haven’t had the time to do any further testing, but assume that I probably need to tinker with the settings again to find a nice balance between frame rate and appearance. And those bloody blue lines … meh!

mazex 05-19-2011 09:58 PM

Great patch!

The fps is even better now, and I really like the color tweak!

I get 68 fps average on the Black Death track with everything on high which is almost exactly as before the patch - but it feels more fluid anyway. Especially the part where all the bombs go off and the Hurricanes are ripped to pieces. Before it went down to 20-25 fps in that part but now it's running at 45 fps on the worst part of that sequence. My score:

Min, Max, Avg
21, 158, 68.205

A comment looking at you score above is that the Black Death track seems very dependent on CPU (as the rest of the game). With the same GPU (GTX580) on my old Core 2 Duo (E8400@3.3Ghz) rig I had this score (14413 patch though!):

Min, Max, Avg
15, 78, 37.120

It's more obvious that something good has been done flying the sight seeing mission over London. I get 70-80 fps a bit up and 50 while skimming the roofs. Hard to complain about that... Before the patch I had more in the 30-35 fps region when skimming the roofs from inside the cockpit. All on high.

It also feels like CEM is a bit more forgiving which I appreciate. You can overboost the Spit for quite a while before you perforate the cooler. Before it was a matter of a second or two. A lot of small details are also fixed like the bombs not bouncing on the Black Death track etc...

Pitti 05-19-2011 10:23 PM

After a short test I can say that the game looks and feels better for me.
Got a little fps improvement, Black Death: Avg from 41 to 43.

Only the Bf-109 prop pitch bug is annoying, wich was already mentioned here. So I hope for a quick fix.

I love this sim! :)

Thee_oddball 05-19-2011 10:53 PM

Setting's high (except shadows,SSAO,VSYNC off) Full screen ON, AAX8 REZ 1600X1200

I was getting and avg fps of 33 from inside the 109 cockpit :) it dipped into the teens when the hurris were being bombed but only for a second :)

I got micro stutters the first time i loaded the black death track but on the second and third time they were gone :)

i have this smoke bug though. big balls of puffy smoke.
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/55...4B0E5F7FDCC5D/

since the above bug, ive changed a few nvidia settings, fully application controlled regards AA. and texture flitering quality to high quality. im seeing mega fps. 60+ over land (not london).

seems the sim is settling down nicely on my system now. and well ive never seen anything better. but thats for another thread.

Fairly sure it wasn't like that pre-patch! :shock:

Blakduk 05-20-2011 12:56 AM

Patch is very similar to the beta patch for me- much improved smoothness in offline play, with a slight increase in framerate.
However, I can't fly through clouds now without overpowering flickering- it's really over the top. Sounds keep disappearing at odd times.

Online is still an issue- framerate seems to be inconsistent (but not as bad as the beta), and sounds completely disappear at times. I've had a few major screen-freezes which i've not had before, and on servers with 'icons on' the arrows on screen are scrappy with bizarre lines running through them.

I noticed on the Black Death track the viewing angle is much larger- i can see a lot more of the action than previously.

icetbag 05-20-2011 12:58 AM

Just played some MP tonight on the Syndicate server, game runs smooth enough for me on a mix of HIGH, LOW and ORIGINAL settings, scenery looked nicer tonight whilst flying around Britain (ended up in Brighton as I got lost lol).

The only downside I have are:

:: For the first time ever, the sound stopped in-game when I was flying, but came back on at the menu upon leaving the server (the menu music played).
:: Im using an ATI 5850, and I have the flicking land/sea issue other ATI users have over land (not a game breaker).

Thee_oddball 05-20-2011 01:13 AM

I was so busy looking at the FPS that i forgot how odd it was that the 109 made no sound...and then it did...and then it didnt :( I almost want to say its some king od lag regarding the sound files loading .

timholt 05-20-2011 06:20 AM

Well after spending $2,000 on a new computer to play this game I am about to shelve it I think.

Since the patch I am getting constant freezes now, (more so in ground strafing attacks with the Hurricane) and getting "the program is no longer responding" when exiting via the task manager.

I have been flying (the original) IL2 since it's conception and was always impressed with succesive patches and DVD releases.

However, I am completely flabergasted, initially, that CoD was in such an abysmal state for release and now it appears to be going backwards down a path of far less the mediocracy.

I know this is a negative post, but my faith is rapidly waning.

Additions: mirrors are a physadelic experience, alternating between jagged flashes, black and white checks, plain black and just blank.

Even though AA is not working, it keeps resetting itself to 2 x AA and I keep selecting 8 x AA.

Tried to get the wingmen to land first as someone else said this was the secret for the idiots crash landing next to me. That didn't work.

Flying low over built up areas now more stuttery than with the last beta, that wasn't really stuttery at all.

etc, etc, etc that I guess have been reported ad nauseum.

At least the new rig has improved RoF out of sight. I have everything maxed out in that and it is as smooth as silk.

We are the games official beta testers. Get used to it.
When it hits the US in June/July the game will be great :grin:

Ah hahahahahaha, oh that's funny... it takes them six years to get CoD to the current state it's in and you think a few months of work and it will be great. Given the fact that since release we have had two official patches (one per month) and things have improved from absolutely atrocious to bad, in two more months it will have improved from bad to fair.

So many major bugs and in two patches we have had some performance fixes, don't expect miracles in such a short time.

Still no patch on steam ?? cant take that long to filter to the english servers?

That may be your experience, but I have found this last patch has been a big improvement, I know there are a lot of other things to fix, but performance wise mine is much better than I anticipated before release, only downside is having shadows and forests off, other settings are medium and high, but for me in the couple of hours Ive flown since the patch came out it is running nicely both on and offline.

TUCKIE_JG52 05-20-2011 08:35 AM

Patch tested.

I7 920 OC to 3,33Ghz 6GB RAM DDR3 Nvidia GTX 275 Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits.


Things done before flying:

1. Rebuilded the specific video configuration for launcher.exe in NVidia control panel. The video config I had for it, has misteriously disappeared...

2. Moved the folder My Documents/1CSoftclub to another place (just to backup).

3. Started CoD.

4. Set the graphic config to real full screen, Vsync activated, adjusted buildings amount to High, Building textures to Low, trees to low but kept all the rest of the parameters on medium-high.

5. Exited the simulator.

6. Checked the new folder My Documents/1CSoftclub, and copied into it the skins, missions, tracks and configs from the backup.

7. Set write permissions to all folder (it was in read only).


Facts tested in offline flight...

1.FMB:
-Changes in ammo are now saved.
-Changes in skins are not saved; when you exit the "My plane" screen and enter again you just see it by default again. Anyway I see new skins I did not see before.
-New missions are here; attack to columns, bridges and airfields.

2.Free flight over London:
-Fps stable like a rock at 20-22. Smooth for me.

3. Black death track:
-Sound of engines still missing.
-Bombs do not bounce anymore.
-Bf110 still seen escaping with flaps down.
-Wider view observed. Interested in how to set it for a normal flight.

4. Landscape Flyby track:
-Fps stable and smooth. Ths track was annoyingly stuttering for me.

5. Bf-109 pich test:
-I'm using a newly bought Saitek Throttle Quadrant. The new way to modify the pitch works fine without modifying any axe. Just have to keep the pitch lever at positions between 25 and 75% to keep it fixed; outside this, the pitch increases or reduces. Found this realistic enough.
-IA is still running much more than me.
-Cannot reach more than 450 km/h in low level flight, temp 18, pressure 993, pitch at 10:10, full throttle, radiator to mid and overboost on.
-Found no change in gunsight alignment, it was already ok foor me before.
-Induced an intentional engine failure. Set the pitch to minimum to feather the propeller, and it finally almost stopped windmilling. This feature is great, it works as reality is supposed to.

6. Bf-110 test:
-Overrev sound is still missing.
-IA runs more than me.
-No stuttering when shooting a plane. Like in the before patch.


Just facts, just my oppinion on some. Hope it can help.

Dano 05-20-2011 08:53 AM

-Wider view observed. Interested in how to set it for a normal flight.

Map the relevant controls...

Controls > Keys > Camera > Hold to adjust field of view.

Then hold that and move the mouse to your desired FOV.

Note: It will only work if the F10 interface is ON.

Torian 05-20-2011 08:56 AM

Just received the Steam patch. If the game was at all flyable before (barely) it sure as heck aint flyable now. CTD when hitting escape key to go back to menu.
Heckuva sim so far 1C. Go ahead, ban me for another 2 weeks. I'll console myself with IL 2 1946 with HSFX 5, lovin that.

Pluto 05-20-2011 08:57 AM

proppitch change on BF109
 
One question !

Apart from the blue switch for proppitch on the dashboard of the 109 that works with the new patch now the wrong way, up is down and down is up - is the propitch the way it is now on the Bf109, historically realistic, yes or no ?

My impression, it was better to handle before but you can get used to the new handling, put it up or down and then back to neutral to lock the pitch at a certain degree. It takes more attention but once you are used to it, it becomes a habit.

As I dont like to change habits all the time, I`d like to know, is it going to stay that way or will I have to change flighthabits again with the next patch ? :-?

So far game runs smooth on my pc with the latest patch, discovered no major deficiencies yet but fix that wrong proppitch switch on the 109 dashboard. Before the latest patch it was ok ! :neutral:

Thanks, I thought these had the same 90º FOV limit as in 1946. Will try.

Also reporting 20 FPS drop from steady 60 to 40 and below. Glad for all who see improvement but this patch gave me problems for the first time ever since playing this game. Last official patch worked perfect for me. luthier tried helping but initial response was that i shouldnt be having problems with my rig on current seetings so im a bit worried. Specs and setting recommended by big Luth below:

Full screen
All settings on high
8X AA
no Anti E filter
V sync on
and that SAAO thing was on
no Crossfire

Asus P8P67 Motherboard
I7 Processor 3.4 GH not overclocked yet
2X ASUS 6950 (not linked yet) waiting for game to support it properly
2 solid state hard drives raided (game installed here)
1 terrabite hard drive (nothing on it yet)
8 gigs ripjawx ddr3 ram
mega cooling heat sink to overclock processer when required.
OH, and windows 7 ultimate


To add to this I also tried Pseudo full screen with same settings and it is worse than full screen.

I also get the "windows color box error" now that others have reported. Not sure what this is.

Your CPU will overclock to 4 Gig with air cooling at least.. Set your multiplier to 40 X 100

Your system should run this game pretty well..

Errors occuring
 
I`m getting ctd when hitting escape during a mission as well, game still appears to be running, roundel icon in taskbar but nothing`s happening. If I click on the roundel the game restarts from scratch and task manager reports 2 instances????.

Went up in a Hurricane in career mode and 3 mins in the sound disappeared, 10 mins into the mission it re-appeared.

Very little control over the Hurricane using the rudder when manouevering on the grd, left rudder has little or no effect, meaning that i`m often heading towards hangars with no way of rectifying it on bases where I start in a hangar. Right rudder appears to have more effect, all other planes respond to the rudder as i`d expect.

X-Fire icon is displayed , but when I check Riva Tuner I find 1 core maxed out and the other doing nothing, yet both clocked themselves up to full speed when the game started. May be a X-Fire or Riva Tuner event rather than a fault???.

FPS has increased massively and no stutters, so thx for that btw.

Phenom II x4 955 BE at 3.6ghz
4 gb 1333 Corsair XMS
Asus M4790xtd? mb using onboard sound btw
Radeon 4870x2 card

Use brake when manouevering on the ground, turns easy, press brake and give rudder at the same time

I dont mean differential brakes because hurri doesent have them.

Please guys..can u post a screenshot of your GUI, maybe I'm completely dumb or blind but I can't find full screen option in CloD video settings!. This issue make me crazy, cause i never had full screen problems since first release!
I'm becoming paranoiac, everybody is full or semi full screen-ill and I feel uncomfortable without this! I would like to check this.

I really hope this works out for you soon. Man i tell you its soo fun! Yesterday i sneaked from the low 6 on a formation of 3 Spits (Multiplayer on Syndicate). Man i tell you that 109 has some power:) I managed to get close pumping some 20mms in one of them. He broke off. I stayed on the other 2 hoping theyre not TS connected. Got behind a second one and managed to perforate him also. Then i dived away since he didnt look all too damaged. Lost sight after a few seconds with 700+ kph. Few more minutes after i got the system message that one of em counted as a airvictory. Having all my 20mms emptied i headed back home. On the way luck was my friend and another hurricane crossed just into my path not recognizing that i am there. I got close and perforated him with quite some 7,92mm bullets. Also a few seconds later i got the systemmessage about the airvictory (was some SYN member ->S!). All in all this game is really very rewarding and relaxing to play. Especially if youre, like me, used to be forced to turn and burn until you either win or die. (Fokker DR1 symptome:)).

Smooth game here, w/t occasional stutter and flickering shadows
 
Hi all,

Big PC overhaul yesterday (see my new sig :D), the new beast easily crunches CloD at maxed out settings.

I did a quick test with everything High/Very High/on etc (lest the SSAO and anti-epilepsy). The game runs at a very correct FPS (average 26/min 8 at low alt over London, otherwhise 40s/50s with min 12 elsewhere), with occasional stutter at the usual points. The only noticeable graphical issue were:

- red/blue arrows were corrupted, with a white stripe crossing them
- the object shadows on the ground (trees, houses) were flickering all the time, with a strange on-off behavior.

I deleted the cache, to no avail.

I have tried quickly online, same shadow flickering (I dunno about arrows because I fly F/R :D) but framerate is OK (again some stutters here and there, no game stopper however). All in all great online fun.

All in all the graphical and immersion experience is great, both before and after this patch. More tests over the weekend...

Cheers,
Insuber

I'm pretty sure it helps, with ati if i enable aa in both setting, never works, or if you put 2x on CP turn it off from game.

Edit:
Just checked same thing with NV, if you use in game setting then put NV CP to app controlled and off.

After installing ( & putting in betas up to 15,April)& playing I now have my rig in being upgraded to 64bit & more memory added.Do you guys suggest I add this new patch or stay off line ( if possible) with Steam,and give that a try first?

Stutter: I'd call it random hitches, some seem to be somewhat linked to loading events such as voice but others I cannot see any reason for. This current patch is in second place only to the original release for me.

However I do need to verify that it's not being caused by the new Nvidia drivers...

Oh, and I'm also having very flickery shadows.

I've had the game since day 1, only had the retail patches, never had any errors, crashes etc.
Anyway...had that Windows message pop up last night too. Also had a loss of sound for a minute at the start of a single player mission.

First negative comment from me...

I got this when i start 3d mark, if you choose first method it saves the computer resources.
But never got it with il2 cod?

Il2 cod is 32bit program, so it's possible that the memory is allmost full if you get this popup when you are playing.

Rudders only work when a ir is moving across them with force (speed) Use a combo of brake and rudder plus revving the motor for torque.

I reality, the propwash effect exists; by blowing air to your tail surfaces you have some control. I feel that the propwash is still missing in CoD.

Agreed, it's impossible turn without brakes in cod.

Those planes has turnable tailwheel, doesen't need much air to turn without brakes.

Additionally, if you have disabled Cloud Synchronization for config files, you may be playing
a game with an obsolete controls config. Please back up and delete your old file and reenable
Cloud Synchronization to grab a latest stock version.

GENERAL
* The game will now automatically delete and recreate its cache when a new game
version is installed;
* Medium-range terrain detail noise is less dramatic when seen from up-close;
* Improved the lighting of spline roads and runways;
* Fixed empty tooltips occasionally appearing at edges of the 2D map;
* Map zoom extents now reset properly when switching between game maps of
different size;
* By popular demand, enemy indicator arrows will now only appear in the no-cockpit
view, and will not show up when the cockpit is turned on, i.e. work they did in
the original Il-2 games.

AIRCRAFT INTERNALS
* Removed warnings of a missing "Select_F1" piece when flying a Hurricane.
* The Sunderland will no longer cause errors when loading a mission.

AIRCRAFT VISUALS
* Inverted the movement of the Bf. 109's radiator flap indicator (raised when
radiator closed).
* Propellor visuals are now tied to epilepsy filter settings applicable regions.

AIRCRAFT PHYSICS & A.I.
* Spitfires' payload in outer-most machine guns changed to contain tracers. The more
historical no-tracers loadout can still be selected and applied manually in plane
options.
* Removed the ability to feather propellors on Daimler-Benz engines by increasing
the pitch angle beyond normal operational range manually.

MULTIPLAYER
* Conversion settings should properly synchronize between all players;
* Fixed the weapon selection grid in online games requiring an extra click to save.

But than I have to reassign all my Keys and so again, or not? :confused: This would be very annoying.
What changes were made in the controls config?

We've had some people whose game was crashing, and it was fixed when their configs were reverted to stock.

I think this isn't as much the fact that we changed something in the config as the people did something to it while manually editing it.

If your game is crashing, do the config trick and see if it helps. If not, revert to the backup. If it does help, then you'll most likely have to redo your bindings again. The file isn't really intended for manual editing, do it from inside the game.

Thank you for your fast response luthier. :)

Just as bad if not slightly slower still.

Some people manually edit their confuser.ini and then their configs get messed up. We're looking at a few of those configs to figure out why.
