I don't think it is related to TS at all. Is your TS button a keyboard (real or emulated) one or DX joystick button? It could be just key buffer issue with GUI. If so, problem should be repeatable while holding any keyboard button for long.

Strange graphic line 'spikes' appearing in external view
 

Overall the game performs well. Since the latest patch, in external view, there are these strange spiky lines emanating from the aircraft. It essentially looks like a pin cushion!!! It only appears in external view. I've been playing with the graphics settings but have found with this patch I have to go way lower than before the patch.

System specs;
Intel i7 2.9ghz
16 Gig RAM
ATI Radeon 5760 pci-e x 2 in crossfire
Windows 7

Whats with the undercarraige showing in the down position, is it careless pilots or another bug? Sorry if this as been discussed or raised already.

S!

Propably known issue, but if disabling visual themes/desktop composition causes you can not open track selection etc.

this also happens if you you get really damaged.

happened to me in a spit MK1 when i was massacred by 4 109 AI's

Confirmed on the Blenheim as well when crash landed, although it also just happened a few times when taking screenshots with Steam whilst in the air and not damaged at all (again, in the Blenheim). Essentially a rubbish-looking very low-res 2D overlay flashes up over the lovely 3D panel

I have created a mission Two Spitfire Mk I nothing else.
The player plane is number two and the mission is very long but there isnothing else in the air.
First when I placed some, one overcast weather in the mission each time i TRIED TO LAUNCH IT CRASH OF THE GAME.
I remove the weather and the mission start without a problem, there one note the NPC plane do not warm up theyr engines.
Secondly afther some 20 minutes of play not a long time thus in midair the game crash again and Windows 7 x64 indicate that "launcher" has stop working and only solution is to go to the applications control panel and stop it.

He111 - 3d model for elevator/aileron/rudder trim is backwards

German bombsight is set in miles, not km so you have to manually convert to hit your target.

ATI Stripes
 

You probably already know this but for those who don't... With my Card... I found if I turn the Land Shading to Low the blue stripes issue goes away.

coverting to miles is just a workaround, they "only" forget to give us the possibility to set the "Rücktriftwinkel" ( Drift-angle) on the Lotfe 7... its a important Input, since bombs have air resistance aswell, very important for horizontal bombbay in h111 and for sure for the light 50kg bombs, which tumbling very much while falling down, and drift easy far away backwards... thats why the bombs allways hit too short ingame...

Random screen resolution changed!
 

I am using 1440x900 resolution - in the game,the desktop res:1680x1050 - ,and I have found several times in online(for example:ATAG and Repka),the program change itself the resolution 1680x1050 during flying. He does not need a restart, only a moment becomes dark and runs on smoothly,but i change back,he needs the restart then.

Bullets !
 

Oftenly, i cannot expect my full account of bullets and this even without any damage from ennemy. I kicked the ass of the ground crew with no result. When i count in seconds, i usually have 8 seconds of fire. Short, insn't it ?

Try hand editing the [window] section if your conf.ini file:-
C:\Users\[yourname]\My Documents\1C Soft Club\conf.ini

Set the resolution there and see if it sticks:

[window]
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8
; DrawIfNotFocused=01
DrawIfNotFocused=1
SaveAspect=0
Render=D3D10_0
width=1440
height=900
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=1
Frequency=60
posLeft=0
posTop=0
StereoMode=0

I don't think the parts in italics affect this. You should try the parts in bold font.

Yes,so for me,withdraw the ChangeScreenRes.

I was use the game in Pseudo mode from beginning - to the ATI card this
recommended.

ChangeScreenRes=0 Fullscrenn OFF

ChangeScreenRes=1 Fullscrenn ON

ChangeScreenRes=2 Pseudo mode

I try your proposal,helps maybe. Thanx.

Graphics Probs since v1.05 15950 update
 

Hi Guys
Can anyone tell Me whats happening to my default & Custom skins.
They seem to go all blurry when approaching or flying over land[as below]:mad:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...aphicsprob.jpg
I am running the latest update v1.05 15950
Quad core Processor,Nvidia 9800GT with latest Drivers
3GB Ram and JSGME with FXAA Injector activated.
any Help or advice would be very much appreciated
Keith;)

Same happens with me, sometimes with custom skins it seems to take a few seconds for the graphics to catch up, dunno why, but it just happens.

Hopefully with the 'new' engine all will be sorted.

Hey just wanted to thank MAddox for 7 yes SEVEN launcher crashed in 2 hours. But I wouldnt want to COMPLAIN about a paid for unplayable game. FIX YOUR CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely, your customer.

They are already doing that, maybe you should fix your attitude lamenting over well known and many times documented errors.

Delete your Cache files.

Oh come on that's not a fix and you dang well know it.
Well, he may only have two crashes after a few hours, of course if he shuts his machine down between sorties, does the hoke-pokie and gives a live platypus in sacrifice to Baal while the machine is booting anyway.

I do clear my cache files and restart the game after every sortie.

If I were a company with a broken down product like this. I would Immediatly address this issue. Its THE game breaker. these guys are taking their sweet time. Going on Holiday, calling their customers "whiners" and "complainers". WE PAID YOU MONEY. You do OWE us a fixed product.

Please tell us where any of the developers called any customers whiners and complainer? Which posts?

I think you'll find its just other community members that have used those term. :)

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=30542

A global moderator, an extension of the DEVS. Very classy Maddox very classy.

I love the censorship around this place. You know why people are using harsh language? Its because they are trying to get across how utterly PO'd they are at the lack of support.

Moderators are community members like the rest of us. They are not linked in any way to the development team but perform a very important job with little thanks and much criticism from the rest of us.

Also he did not call anyone a whiner; he said that we all should refrain from the act of whining which IMHO is a very wise piece of council.

regardless they need to fix the problem.. The game in general has loads of problems but I don't care as all but one of those problems is a show stopper.

This game just sits on my pc waiting... one day like many people here our patience will run out and effectively end this community.

Out of all the gaming forums this one is by far the most destructive, and it continues all because of this little memory leak. If they knew what was good for them they would fix it asap.

If it was that easy to release one patch to fix one thing and not frack everything else I think they would have done it, right now they are completely redoing the graphics engine, thats no small undertaking... I am sure one of the many goals would be to release the patch without memory leaks...

I Beg to differ they are not connected. They are given information by devs, and since devs don't post here anymore, THEY are the ONLY connection we have. And implying to not "Whine" is in itself the call out.

Try this. Go to mirror, remove rosy colored fanboy glasses, look at self in real light. Im sure you'll see how wrecked both this game and devs/mods are.


Until I have a playable game, i will keep these issues at the forefront at every opportunity I can. When its fixed, thats when you wont hear from me again. Along with 99% of other "Whiners" or as I like to call them "people who paid real money for a fake working game".

Wasn't this memory leak brought about by one of the latest patches ?

Why should they post, when they just get abused?



Remove your axe from the grindstone and see how your, and others, incessant hassling, nagging, and outright thread destruction is affecting the forum


Not much point in nagging, hassling, whining and whinging... it'll be fixed when it is fixed (oh, did I mention badgering?)
Why should anyone cater to that??



Which is probaly why they are redoing the engine... when its done (and not before) it'll go to testing, then to release and then bugs from that (and there will be) will be addressed
Software writing, as much as it seems to have upset some, is not a perfect world.

I would have thought rolling back the patch would have been a good idea to temporarily fix the problem while we wait.

rolling back, is a possibilty (its not the full fix, but indeed it is a positive approach)... quite a few people do that all the time (at least on other forums I read) with VGA drivers.

Are the CTD users running mods? (if so, another possibility)

I think you'll find that your wrong on this one. (If any Moderators want to correct me here please do! )

The only regular contact we have with the developers is Black Six, and it hasn't been the fanboi's giving him heaps since day one. Go figure!

CODFA membership #0001 here baby! I play nightly (mostly online) on COD and don't get the CTD. Most immersive combat flight sim I've bought to date.

are you telling me that I shouldn't enjoy the game because you can't get it working right? Doesn't work like that. Sorry, I'll put praise where praise is deserved any day!

Man! All this over a video game? Obviously you never bought windows millenium or vista!!!!!

Ciao Bambini!

or Windows '98 ;)

I run vanilla, no mods what so ever and I still experience CTD's. One thing I have noticed is people with hi-end pc's seem to experience it more often, maybe due to the fact people with high end pc's like to crank up the graphics more..

But I feel I shouldn't have to compromise and empty my cache every time I play a game. I do remember a time where this game was acceptable to play. I think it was right after they fixed the stealth plane sound issue. After that it was acceptable to play without crashing.. Then they made a few more updates and that is when the CTD's started happening...

So as a temp fix why cant they roll back ?

Forward - ever! Backward - never!

A communist battle - cry, afaik.

:D :D :D :D :D

Hey gang,
Kind of new here to the forum and to CloD.
May I ask, what or who is Black Six?

Thanks,

Hi d.burnette. For his sins, BlackSix is the community liaison and when not busy fielding questions and rants from the community he is, I believe, a campaign designer for 1C:Maddox Games.

~S~

Ah ok then, now I know - many thanks!

S!

Not sure if reported, but if running a track and bringing up the console with shift+tab the FPS goes up a bit and after closing drops back to what it was. A bug or a feature?

Here's a bug i'm experiencing:

G.50... So basically, if i pan around with the keypad or my logitech G510's G keys, my pitch/mix get set to 50%. I've double checked for any key conflicts. And it only happens in this particular airplane. It's incredibly annoying. My joysticks' hat switch works though, but it's too hard to yank and bank mid-dogfight and use the hat switch to look around for enemy aircraft. Anyone know why this happens, or if it's fixable?


Update: I fixed this bug by redoing my entire control scheme (deleted config files etc)

Just got a crash in the airplane selection screen.

THAT'S BETA GAME CRASH!

PLEASE, I bought the game a YEAR ago, and I haven't played since I'm still wating for the various bugs to get fixed!

You're getting an average FPS of 35 with everything on full and you're complaining? :D

I've recently been getting crashes on startup... every once in awhile, when I click the icon to start up the game, the crosshair and plane thingy appears off to the side and then the launcher fails...click the icon again and the game loads up as normal.... never did it until recently. Something tells me it must be something I have done as there haven't been any updates.

Could it be something you have done?

The patch is coming..... just when it is ready! Patience and all that... and yep! I bought it a year ago as well. :)

S!

I really haven't found the reason, but the game does not run in a consistent manner. One day it is smooth like silk the other day has pauses and hickups with stutter even NOTHING has been changed in game settings or in the system. Even consequent runs can be different! Shouldn't a game run the same, at least offline, every time?

Yeah... I've noticed the same. :) Sometimes I can even get away with having shadows on with minimal FPS drop. Strange......

I've even noticed it runs smoother when I am using facetracknoir instead of the hat switch.... which makes no sense at all really, considering I am using more resources. I'm wondering.... is it just me or is there more grass when Shadows are turned on? :D

I think its the nature of the memory leaks, and how they happen, not always the same depending on what you are doing in game, perhaps they are related to a certain plane or function... I will get slow downs for no good reason as well. Its just the nature of the problems I think.

No point in making any sense of it at this point, let's just wait and see what the graphics patch will do.

I have set up the revi sight increase decrease wing span, to my rshift-F2 and F3 keys and unbind them from the out side view.
But when I use the rshiftF2 and F3 keys it takes me outside view, how is that possible I cleared that view setting.

She's still flying....
 

No comments....

S!

Well, I also noted that the conf.ini files are different too sometimes. And it was not long time ago when I double checked that both are exactly same. So it is Steam Cloud or something that does it. Maybe should just adjust everything as wanted, save it to Steam cloud and then shut it off.

BlackSix: Bug for the Devs. Online Mission menu Tab + 4 not wokring
 

BlackSix, I posted this in the Technical thread but I am not sure if your Dev team look there.

Sorry I am retracting this thread. thow it on the rubbish heap.

Kodiak had a look at my script and pointed out I was calling it once and not each time a player entered the mission

All good it works.

Have a great day BlackSix and team :)

It work online, but there is sometimes a problem with the red side. This red side bug was reportet shortly after the latest patch, directly to a dev. So no need to report it.
Damn we really need a bug tracking system :rolleyes:

Kodiak makes a very good point about tracking bugs. I think I read somewhere that the dev's don't have time to setup & manage a formal bug tracking methodology. There is plenty of free bug-tracking packages out there (bugzilla or mantis bug tracker etc), but we'd need to the dev's to come onboard for any bug-tracking to be of benefit.

I agree Salmo. In the meantime Kodiak has seen the error of my code and the good new is now that ATAG server 2 mission Red V Blue 1.0 has operation menu in game now.

Just made the change and uploaded and working fine :)

Keep in mind that there is still a bug with the red comm menu as soon as there are a couple of blue flights in the air.

Hope it's fixed in the next patch :rolleyes:

In one of Q&A threads luthier answered that it would be good if community makes the tracker. I guess the only issue is hosting and an admin who can manage it. Maybe there exist some IT guys here?

we can use mantis http://www.mantisbt.org or bugzilla http://www.bugzilla.org and I can host it if it's ok to everybody

It would be great indeed.

The only important criteria is if the program has a voting/rating system to allow us voting for bugs and features.

Here is another free one used by ACE of ArmA2 http://www.redmine.org/
Sample of buglist http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/issues

Thats great news, i think the best is to activate it after the next beta patch.

ok, I'll install some of those and see what is better... then we can decide.. ok? giving to somebody else the access as admin would be good... not only one admin... ok?

I suggest Tree_UK, Furbs, Tvrdi, maybe more. :) They will be good in bug tracking.

LOL :grin:

quick update:
with Ataros suggestion, redmine is almost up and ready...
the only thing is: should i register a new domain or will be fine to use bugs.devizer.com (replace bugs with anything you want) because I already have devizer.com for my business.

Thumbs up!
I was crying for a bug tracker already in last may!
So finally things go growing! I also use the "DevHeaven"/Arma Tracker since years!

If it cost you sth keep it as it is.
On the other hand a domain like Clod.Bugtracker.com or sth familar to the topic would be easy to remind.
But everyone who is interested to support this and make entries will know where to find the website.

So imho keep it, as i guess it is the easiest way for ya!

Keep it up, fully supporting this !!:)

Find a suitable and available name and i'll register it :grin:

Hm clod.battleofbugs.com :rolleyes:

Well this is an awesome idea, there's no doubt about that. The dev's must already have some sort of tracker though? Unless they're just using a big white board.

Ought to try to get them on board, as without their support your hard work will be meaningless, unfortunately.

IL2.Bugtracker.com or
IL2Bugtracker.com ?

Or whatever free domain name with IL2Bugs.freedomain.com

Thank you!

bugtracker.allthedamnedextensions are taken, il2bugtracker is available (.com,.eu, etc.)

now, will be ok for the devs if we do it? BlackSix, if you are reading this, can you ask Ilya if it's ok? Ataros, can you make a new thread asking it so it will be visible?

redmine is up and running...

CliffsofBugs.com

and here is the banner

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8640/clobugs.jpg

just kidding.


il2bugtracker.com is fine imho.
I guess there is no need for permission by devs, as a bugtracker is a highly welcome feature for any dev out there.

According to the first probs we had in the BIS forums, I guess the main issue will be to make the community use the tracker.
But however keep it coming, great input!

Shouldn't that be the other way round?

Never was so much owed to so many(us) by so few(developers) :grin:

I do not think he will see it in even in a separate thread but here is a quote from luthier:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...ight=questions

Let's get it ready for the patch and announce in the patch thread.

Let's push it step by step. If it works maybe one day 1C merges it with this forum to allow forum users post bugs without new registration in bugtracker.

Maybe a more or less advance grafic designer can make referring signature, which can then the be used to advertise it.
The more it use the easier to find or get knowledge of it at least.

Wow! this is a great initiative guys! I'll try to contribute when it's up and running.:)

ok, so can i register the domain il2bugtracker.com ? the name is ok? :-)

Go on m8!
Fine imho.

il2bugtracker.com registered, some hours to be visible... need to configure redmine...

Thank you very much for all the efforts!

il2bugtracker.com up and running, now you can register... I need to configure the categories (graphic/aircraft systems, etc...) who wants to help? :-) and who want to admin?

Ataros you'll be the first, the idea was your :P

I am a fanboy I accept no bugs :rolleyes: Also I am a bit slow in IT :)

I tried registering, but when I hit login it says invalid username/password. Havn't been able to gain access by resetting password either. Maybe you need to confirm the registration? Or something is wrong with the user database :)

It wrote to me that admin authorisation is needed.

Made an announcement. Please add if I missed something http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...637#post405637

ok, access granted for both... I need to figure how to use redmine, LOL

have some of you received the confirmation email? I tried with mine and it worked...

Categories (proposal):
- Graphics
- Sound
- Aircraft systems and aircraft controls
- Aircraft performance and flight model
- AI and communication
- Full Mission Builder and scripting

Yes, thanks. Created a test bug. Can not figure out how to vote for it???

Send e-mail and chat message to luthier via gmail.

addedd.... and automatic access granted to everyone register now, no need approvation, only a confirmation email to avoid spam

I think for voting we need a plugin:

e.g. http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/5506

Don't know if there are others around.

yup, installed a plugin, configuring it now... wait

the plugin is not working... need to find another one sorry

I see discussion at the April 13th update thread about "Launcher.EXE" and it only affecting online players.

I'd just like to add (without derailing the update thread), that I have had a window pop up on many occasions, that the "Launcher.EXE" has failed (can't remember the exact statement it gave me) while playing offline.

About commands to AI: It seems that they do execute the commands but only a lot later than the command was given. I just managed to make them land and I got permission to land in a quick mission. However, as said, much much later than the time I ordered that.

I am not talking about BETA patch. But exactly the last release version.

Probably been posted before...I am truley sorry if I am repeating...

Reticule outside of cockpit...It only shows on clouds
