New Beta CTD hotfix available
 

Some of you might have missed it, but Luthier has just added a hotfix file link in his post on yesterdays new beta patch thread, plus some addditional info and comments. I haven't tried it...

Edit: Here's the additional info and link he added:



Update – October 6, 2011
Please download and install a small update to the beta that fixes the most commonly encountered issue that has to do with explosions and particle effects hanging up the game.
http://www.1cfiles.com/IL2_CliffsofD...core_patch.rar

Extract the contents to your
[Program Files]\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\
Folder. (It already contains the folder structure and should automatically put the file into the \parts\core\ subfolder – or if you’re using some weird extraction method, please put the file there manually)

We are currently looking at other issues. Reviewing some conf.inis sent to us, we see that a lot of people reporting decreased frame rate are playing with the anti-epilepsy filter enabled. Please disable it in the game options or manually edit the line in conf.ini, setting AntiEpilepsy to 0.
Also if you encounter an issue where all buildings in the game disappear, please check your conf.ini for a corrupted
StereoMode
Key value (which by the way can enable 3D stereo on compatible hardware, if you’re willing to test this even further)
It can be either 0 (OFF)o r 1 (ON). If it’s anything else – and we’re trying to figure out why it went haywire on one tester’s machine – then manually set it to 0.

Thanks very much for posting this, I would have missed it otherwise, looking forward to testing the new Beta properly now :)

Confirmed no lock-up on explosions after applying the hot-fix. Big grin here :)

hotfix works a treat :)

Tnx and bump

Thank you! Sticky please?

BTW Repka servers stays on recent Beta 2. Please try the new Steppe map with limited Spit2s and 109E4s for balance. Really need about 20 players tonight to test out how a limiting script works. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26790
