Really liking this at the moment. FPS (which were ok) have improved - selecting the mission to intercept Bombers over London I'm getting 40 fps average with Very High settings (although I don't even notice London, it's not that close at the start and I'm busy chasing bombers).

patch seems to smoothen a number of the loading issues (stutters I have. By no means an end to them though. Both Hawkinge and Dover battles better playable then pre and beta patch. London slow at times (esspecially near larger numbers of aircraft.) All of this at medium settings.

Server search on the internet returned a whopping 5 servers but, the speed of said return could do with improvement.

@luthier

thanks for your patch and hard work, my fps increase a little bit, but
(micro) stutters over London and other citys.

Sad to see that you remove realism of Plane Movement (rubber bands) in
Il2 COD. I recognized the smoother movement during the fight with other
Player Planes which make the flight more realism. Can´t it be fixed in
other way (issue with tracers)?

AIRCRAFT
* Removed “rubber bands” from player aircraft that made its movement smoother by delaying graphical representation of the plane behind its physical position,
with the rare unintended consequence of making tracers appear to fly out sideways;

hello,
after this final patch from steam i have to say boost performance in all aspects,no micro stutters above water and land,but land is still choppy, jump from 7-20 fps on minimum settings.
i have rather other bug to report,i was flying i think 3rd mission in alied campaign the hurt he111 hunt and i got shot,so i watched my wingman attacking the bomber and to my full surprise he after long burst chopped the bomber's rudder/the whole fin with his wing root and flew away non damaged, and the bomber slid like a leave on the ground and landed safely with his gear up?is this possible?i had realistic landing on and this seems to be a bit off.
So i flew quick mission as a hurricane pilot attackin he111 and made mess of him with my guns but on 3rd pass i crushed into his elevator/right one with my wing and damaged him a little bit but i lost half of my wing!but i flew on and with little help of rudder i could fly and even when i switch engine off i could for long time glide?i tried to bailed out but it didnt work.
Sound is also off,when playing recorded track its skipping and sometimes gone especially after speeding time, in game radio chatter hurts my ears and volume doesnt work so i had to switched it off.

my specs:q6600 OC 3,0 G,MB gigabyte x38,GF 8800 gts 512 mb,4GB ram 800,WIN764ultimate.onboardsound.

I get less FPS and more stutters. I average around 35 fps over water and around 15 over land. I used to get 50-70 fps over water and 30 fps over land pre-patch. I now get micro stutters when flying low over water when I did not before the patch.

The patch definitly showed an improvement. On Medium Detail over land I went from 25 FPS to about 35 - 40 fps. I cranked the land detail to high and can average out about 25 - 30 fps on sustained flight. So I'm looking forward to the improvement when I upgrade my video card. Probably going to a Nvidia GTX 570 or 580.

I originally started out with a nvidia GTX 8800 512MB and was pretty much in the gutter as far as performance goes. I then found a ATI 5770 at my job and borrowed it for a few days. I'm using it now and currently playing on it. It's pretty well .. Turns out I'm getting good FPS and stability.

Looking good... Bottom dataset is new patch, 10-20 FPS increase mostly due to absence of big framerate drops.

unfortunately for me its a step backward.fps decrease and much more stutters.
the only plus is the aiming now.

patch
 

i brought the game off steam and since downloading the patch i have not been able to fly on the game all i get is a notice saying

Launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

is there eny way i can fix this i have verified the integrity of the game i have turned avg anti virus off and i am still getting this message

computer specs

windows xp 64 bit

i7 quadcore 340 ghz

6gb ram

radion hd 4890 graphics card

Those with micro stutters still causing a problem, try this..

Turn Grass OFF

Turn Shadows OFF

Turn Building Detail to Low

Turn Building Numbers to HIGH or MEDIUM (Or lower if you still have trouble)

Run those settings and see if it makes a difference.. for me over London even grass OFF makes a difference.. Same for Shadows..
