Patch Beta 2 - v15866 BUG REPORTS
 

**E4/e4b**

Cant open close oil or water radiators E4/E4b

every other 109 variant OK..Red planes Ok too

Does the engine over heat and die?

haven't got that far yet... they are fully open to start

bearing in mind this is a single mission air start over the sea... haven't tested it more than that yet

The line on the horizon is still there.
In the spit, low FPS looking ahead in the cockpit, seems changing the mixture affect it, like the red flames are a FPS hit.

Game locked up while flying quick mission "German Attack - Bridge"
Happened while doing a low level looping over Ramsgate in 3rd personview as the buildings occupied the whole screen (flying spit IIa).
No crashlog was generated as I had to ctrl-alt-del out and force the .exe to close, mouse stopped working even in windows so had to use the keyboard.
Not had this happen for months so fear it's related to this beta.
Running ATI catalyst 11.5, HW specs in sig

crash #2 : online on the vulcano's map (Repka 2) , see a Hurricane crash and game locks up as the explosion starts.
Had to shut down via the task manager again. Cache cleared beforehand on both occasions.

ingame settings as follows:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16366755/clod_settings.jpg

Maybe updating to 11.9 will help? Could have nothing to do with it, but just maybe...:)

oil and water rads not controllable in the E4 and E4b as already mentioned.:mad:...the automatic proppitch is really bad...it overrevs all the time..i could increase speed way faster with manual pp.:confused:

Crash everytime... too many....

albx - Have you cleared your cache folder before starting? Might help wonders ... ;)

Game crashes completely with any kind of explosion. I have to alt tab out so no crash log. Cleared all cache, last patch caused pc crashes that had never happened before, this patch as made the Game unplayable.

no crash dump gen

lockup every time a explosion happens

whether it be a aircraft or bomb

alt tab and end proses was only way to close game

didn't happen in last patch

still cant change loadout in quick mis or single mis didnt make it to campaign

sry i just got to frustrated to go on any further game on this patch unplayable

yes did, I tested it online

@Pegasus_Eagle
same situtation here

Whenever I crash (got some help with my kids that wondered why I was starting a game when I was going to read for them ;), the game locks just after the flame cloud appears. I have tried 3 Hurricane crashes and one G50 over Dover - both from external view an internal. Did one in an ME 109 over France now with the same result. Game locks completely with "flames" sound looping forever in the external view of the plane exploding...

The good thing is that it's repeatable for me at least :)

Running the hardware as in my sig with the latest Nvidia Beta drivers - 285.38

Will post dumps to Ilya if it's not something everyone gets so he'll get flooded in that report ;)

EDIT: Only get dump files every other time. I think it seems like when you "ctrl+alt+delete" to task manager and then try to go back to the crashed CoD exe again you get it... Or it's just random. Anyway, I think Ilya pointed at the wrong location for the dumps. In my case I get them in "C:\Users\username\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cppcrash"...

When did it crash dude?

Did you guys install this Beta patch over the previous Beta patch or the official patch? Maybe that's got something to do with it.

It crashes constantly, as soon as there is an explosion it dies.

Try making an explosion by doing the lawn dart trick with you own plane. Works for me every time ;)

First let Steam check your files, second delete the cache file, then install the Patch.

:(

lol, thanks, all been done.

did all that twice

then did third time put old beta in and game run no crash on explod

Yup! Explosions freeze/crash the game. Aren't betas supposed to be improvements from earlier versions? LOL! Already looking forward to the retail patch, that'll be a hoot.

Permanent freeze on explosion is reproducible with Black Death track: scene with hurricane taking off and exploding.

I'm on 11.09 here and have had three lock-ups so far, each time have needed to end the programme via task manager so no dump files, sry. Edit; No lock-up if visual effects (or whatever it's called) is set to low, otherwise it's a hard fault.

I did like the brief listen to some of the sounds, could tell big difference between open/closed cockpit for instance.


Win 64
i7 930@4000
HD5970 2GB @900GPU 1200MEM 11.9 Catalyst.

Yup! Explosions freeze/crash the game.

Confirm addman, had 3 crashes already, 2 explosion related, one just flying about in a FMB 4 vs 4 dogfight I made. First impression of the colours is frikkin awful.....if these are final then I think I'm going to cry. 'RETURN TO PLANET SHREK'. :eek:

Confirm E4 radiator bug, will not overheat either. How did they miss that? Glad the reflector sights range is sorted now though.

I'll have to find out how to post the crash log thing, will do so in time.

Not a bug Gelbe Vierzehn just found out :D

If you hit R you get manual control back, great find.

Already had two crashes. The game freezes but sound continues to be played ... No crash dump files are generated and I need to shut down CloD via TaskManager.

I had a free flight over France and England in both Spitfire I and the 109 E-3. Shoot some Storage tanks next to industrial building to cause an explosion and had no apparent hiccups or freezes during the explosions in cockpit, or external view.

Once I nosed the A/C into the ground (with both planes) in cockpit (not external) game locked up and had to task manager out and end the launcher process. No crash dump file was produced in either lock up.

Whiskey

Tried lots of tricks and tweaks but this patch is porked.

Radiator (and PP) can't be controlled until turn off the automation (no any info in the vehicle system window. ). The radiator animation does not work, seems to be closed, but the engine don't overheat.

- Toggle Automatic Radiator Control
- Toggle Propellor Pitch Automation

Sorry but 3 Weeks for a bit of color changes. LOOOOL. More crashes, no prerformance increase. STILL no FSAA. NOTHING.
Shall i tell you guys from 1C what it looks like for me as a customer?
That youre not working but surfing the web all day and waste your time.
Shall i tell you something? I am really sorry but i as a customer am loosing interest in this game and am close to shelve it and play something else until maybe in some months something actually really happened.

I am no big fan of the FMs in Rise of flight but you folks should take an example from the ROF guys when it goes about speed of development and pace of patches. Thos guys are WAY faster than you folks and as far as i know are even the FAR smaller team.

BIG DISSAPOINTMENT!

Winger

So what is the rational of having to hit "R" in the E-4 and no other aircraft?

Still sounds like a bug, it just has a work around.

Ah, nice one!

Rest in peace, E1 and E3....no longer selected in multiplayer.....Lived briefly for a few months then lost their heroic struggle for virtual life, as the E4 variants were far easier to fly, with uber weaponry, and virtually no pilot workload. They shone brightly, in their all too brief time with us.....but will never be forgotten, and now take their rest in the great 'knackers yard' in the sky.

Fondly remembered, and always in our hearts. :grin:

*dons asbestos suit, then runs away*

Same here. The last time it froze when a plane exploded next to me. Aircraft in the middle of a huge fireball. No dump file, i have to kill the process via Taskmanager

Confirm Thor and Tom, had to kill with Task Manager and no crash dump files either.

Hmmmm

two missions, two crashes so far, in both cases had to quit via task manager.

can't really comment on anything else yet.

No crash, since i switch off the EFFECTS in video menu... :rolleyes:

Same freezing experiences as everyone else. Crossfire performance seemed a small improvement (previously it was worse than a single card) little smoother but still some texture stutter, then performance dropped through the floor after 3 or 4 missions, just like it's always done. 35-60 fps down to 15/16. Single card performance is unaffected. It's bonkers. Cat 11.8.

AA with this patch looks sharper/jaggier, especially in the cockpit. Colours are nice, engine sounds are wonderful. AI is still terrible. Perfomance, even on a single card still has loading stutters at all texture levels.

Appreciate the patch and the hard work.

Landscape is better now, but i confirm explosion freeze and E4 radiators bug.

I can't take anymore screnshoots.

I have never had a crash in this game before, and I have normally attributed all the problems people have had to PEBKAK, but in this case the explosion crash is a real bug.

It does not seem to happen (or at least it didn't happen for one attempt) for mid-air explosions. I crashed into a wingman and the resulting fireball yielded no crash or any kind of hiccup. But nosing into the ground at high speed yielded an instant, total lock.

560 Ti, 280.26 drivers
Win 7 64 bit

The problems with the "post-crash" lockup must be an easy one to solve as it seems to happen to many here all the time... It's probably some build/packaging problem where a tiny explosion sound clip or flame effect that all the testers have on their rigs from numerous internal versions did not make it into the beta patch release we got. Sure that's annoying, but stuff like that can happen when you have a mod with pitch forks and torches outside of you house ;)

But really - if this is going to be a bug reporting thread can't people please post their hardware setup, OS version and driver versions for their GPU etc? It's really impossible to see if this is a problem related only to Nvidia users, Creative Sound card users or whatever...

EDIT: After whining about this I realize that I had forgotten my Sound Card in my sig ;) Shame on me...

Crashes when there's a ground-hit fireball explosion (not when anything crashes into sea). Reproducable with Black Death track at point of bomb impact with taking off Hurricane, would appear to be the fireball graphic that triggers the lock-up.

No crashdump file created, requires taskmanager to get out, sound continues after crash.

While its running (up to a ground crash) there seems to be more stuttering for me than 1st beta and still a big fps hit in clouds.

Using nvidia beta driver 285.38 with vsync and SSAO all settings high.

It seems to me that the AI radio comms are hardly audible now, I don't know if someone else is having this issue too. :(

For me the rest works fine. :grin:

Of the people that have had lock ups after a ground explosion, who has nvidia graphics card with the latest beta 285.38 (the one required for Battlefield 3)?

Extremely over contrasted cockpit lighting that I hope will be a bug.

+1
game freeze when you crash your airplane ^^ too much realistic :)
there are no crash file to send, just a freeze game :/

and +1 for the no-clickable radiators in the new 109

i have 280.26 nvidia driver.
my settings in game is med, no vsync, no AA, no SSAO

Very joke this patch, I crashed and next I have to ctrl+alt+sup to cancel game, very poor this patch.... :(, and fps low´s

I used GTX 465 with 285.38 nvidia patch...

Freeze!
 

They did it on purpose, so when your plane explodes, the explosion is so powerfull it sends shock-waves throughout your computer's system and therefore the game freezes.
Most people should know this by themself

it's not a patch, it's a beta patch... this is all the difference.

109 PP and radiator IS working, just switch off the automation... :rolleyes:

The game freezes if the effects in video menu high or medium. NO FREEZE since i set the effects to low.

Bug new patch
 

Hello,

Very strange bright colors (bright red, while) more often than before, and very low frame rates quite often.
I run a Nvidia GTX 260 car, Phenom & Win 7, high graphics.

Confirmed. But, not the way I plan on playing this game. Reverting to the first patch until this gets fixed.

And I thought the pre patch sound cut-out in mp was bad......:rolleyes:

Cheers

Gromic

Screen Freeze after bail out.
 

Sorry, no dump file created.
Flying quick mission Free Flight over England.
Changed plane from Hurricane to Spitfire IIa.

About 2 minutes into the flight I blew up the oil dumps at Dover.
Then circled and flew low through the flames to see what affect it would have on my aircraft.

F3 flyby showed fuel or smoke from under right wing.

Climbed, opened canopy and ejected.

Chute opened and started to decend.

Hit ESC to get out of mission and everything froze.

I switched screens back to the desktop but no mouse pointer and could not ALT CTL DEL out of it either. So i pressed the HOT BOOT button to reboot the system.

Might have been your aircraft hitting the ground and crashing the game, will try it out.

Pointless continuing with this beta update, my end. It has completely killed the sim and I have just had another 4 crashes in a row (in very innocuous circumstances.....IE the Luftwaffe 'Free Hunt' quick mission, I dived on the RAF planes and it just froze for no reason.) It's not even solely to do with explosions, this is a total abortion.

Ah well. Back to previous version for me. Good luck with sorting this out lads, but we can't help you or give feedback if we can't even play the blinking sim.

Good point.
I heard the rumble as it hit behind me but I think I was still descending afterwards until I hit the ESC key.

The water is polluted , its green!

think ill stick with the previous patch :) works better than this 1 by the sounds of things

When switching between bomb sights ( Shift + F1 ) and normal view the game almost locks up and I have to wait 10 seconds to stabilize itself, it only appeared after a while switching between the views, other then that level bombing with a He111 works excellent!

Stuka wheel brakes have now very soft sound, but are not working and not stopping my plane ( or I´m missing something ).

inside bulb light in cockpits is stronger than sun light?

So you will still come back after some months... Still a win for them.

Have you turned off the epilepsy filter?

Thanks to all you guys who checked this patch and saved me the time and hassle, much appreciated. 8-)

Ditto...

ok it is a Beta patch, but this beta patch is a rubbish... sorry for the coment but now the game is unplayable for me and i am too pissed, now is 5 oct 2011Today has been recess to 1 April 20011...

Another confirm for the freezes on crashing. Doesn't happen when you go down in water though (even with a huge splash), so it's only actual explosions. Otherwise it's nice to have the .303's balanced so you can hear them again and the colours look great on the ground at least, but I'm not sure about the in-cockpit colours. They seem very saturated (I'm talking mainly about the 109 cockpit here, so it could be to do with the bright red lights) and I can't quite tell whether they're really really good or really bad.

On the up side though, load times are massively decreased.

I also get the explosion crash.

While flying a single mission I noticed there is still this map bug (large lighter area at sea level) which was there already in previous beta patch.

I noticed there was another similar light area in different part of the same map, but a bit smaller. I can't remember if it was in previous patch or is this a new problem.

WinXP SP3, 2Gb ram, ATI 9550 2GB - driver version 8.861.0.0 (24.5.2011).

So how many weeks are we going to have to wait this time for a fix for another broken patch?? :confused:

Amazing!

Cache cleared... patch installed...

Launch quick mission over London. My Spitfire have a cool psicodelic effect! Great "rework" of graphics...

And as people said, try the "dive to death": game freezes...

Please, other beta tomorrow? This is a joke. My system:

Windows 7 x64
Phenom x4 965
8GB RAM DDR3
Audigy Zs
GTX 560Ti 1GB with last NVIDIA beta patch. Will try the last official patch...

I like the game and really want it to become good. I just dont see it anymore slowly. This is just not getting better.... Sadly!

Winger

Come on now... 2 weeks

Well, i fixed the "psicodelic effect"bug: this is caused by the "antiepilepsy filter" on... It's a good bug! LOL!

ahahhaahah

I finally went to go look at my crash dump files for the first time and when going to the directory it is in threw the start menu it almost frooze the explorer.exe

Come to find out.. I have 1,338 dmp files in there. hahaha

Stranger part is.. 1,242 of them are from the date 9-11-11 all with 0 KB

Even stranger part is.. I know for a fact I didnt play the game on that day



Edit:
also ON THE Exact time of 7:24am

wtf

After about 30 minutes of playing with the new patch, I experienced one launcher crash. In my crashfile directory there were also about 1.200 .dmp files -all from the minute of the crash and all with 0 byte. But this is nothing new for me. The same with the previous version.

All in all I have experienced no problems. I got crashes before and so far they seemed to have been reduced. The cockpit looks fine to me (I do not even realise a difference).

Still I got the issue that the gun sounds played endlessly. At least until my plane crashed.

Well....

I run the latest BF3 beta drivers 285.38 and noticed the following:

For the first time all FSAA was gone.

Certain colours seem very saturated, like the brown, red and yellow ones.

Sometimes fire button "sticks" as if you have "toggled" to fire the guns. You have to fire again to cancel it. (Logitech G940, but I've heard others have this issue too).

Game crash when viewing aircraft crashing into ground. Freeze, ctrl alt del to recover to windows..

Windows 7 64bit

Reposting a mail I sent to Ilya if anoyone gets the same... Have not included the two files I talk about but one is a hex-dump and the other a "half" -jpeg of a ME 109 with a Hungarian (or Italian?) tailplane in green/white/red...

Hi!

Reported the bug with the explosion before (that everyone seems to
get). Now I tried online and joined the Repka "Isles of Doom" server.
Took off in a Spitfire IIA (all was fine - love the new sounds - the
only problem was intermittent "lockups" every other minute), shot up
one ME 109 and a G50 and then chased another ME 109 that smoked badly
until the ammo was finito... Noticed two 109:s trailing me and went
for my home base zig zagging back. I then realized they where catching
up and turn hard for a couple of turns - lost one of them and was
getting into firing position of the other (him not knowing I was out
of ammo ;)). My session may have been 10-12 minutes old by this time
when the game just froze with the engine sound still on... Had to
"CTRL+ALT+DEL" to desktop and then kill the exe...

I then looked for a dmp-file but found no new... Decided that the
dumping process may be on some background thread and then 3-4 minutes
later a dump file appeared that I have enclosed... So - what more did
I notice of interest? In my cache folder I can find a number of
.dds-files and .jpg files. Both the .dds-files and the .jpg-files
contain what looks like crappy online skins. The interesting part is
that a number of them are empty, but the last one of them (sorting in
creation time) is from when I think the game crashed - and it looks
weird (half). I enclose that one to. And in the folder there is also a
.bmp-file called "picture.bmp" that seems to contain the same crappy
skin, but it's not "half" and has a size of 12 mb (will not fill your
mailbox with that - but its the same skin). When the game crashed I
was just catching up an ME 109 that may have had that skin for the
most detailed LOD-level? Just guessing.

So - may the intermittent "locking" every other minute be when I got
the other skins, and the crash when it tried to use the "half" skin
when I got close to that 109? I sure hope it did not download that
12Mb file from the server cause that could look up badly... Before I
cleaned my cache file in preparation for todays patch I found a 50Mb
bmp-file (!!!) with the same name (picture.bmp) that contained another
crappy skin with some naked chick. Obviously a user skin downloaded
from some server for an online battle.

It would be nice with a switch to disable "user skins" even if they
are not the cause for the online stuttering - but I have read many
others in previous patched that have complained over stuttering when
new users join multi player games...

My hardware and software:

CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ 4.5 Ghz
GPU: Asus GTX580 Direct CU II with the latest beta drivers 285.38
Mother Board: Asus P8P67 Pro
Memory: G-Skill 8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz
Disks: Intel X25-M G2 SSD (OS) + Raptor 150 (Steam/Games) + 1TB WD (Extra)
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-HX 750W
Sound card: Creative X-Fi Fatality Pro (PCI) with the latest 2.18.15 driver
OS: Windows 7 x64
TrackIR 4
Logitech G940 joystick

Good luck! /mazex at the 1C forums.

Lower FPS, more sound bugs for me...no hurri MGs, 109E3 cannon "echo" effect, Colors are much worse(last beta was very nice).
Lots more stutters than last beta patch.


How long have we waited for this patch? 3-4 months?

Never thought i would say this...but im done with COD for a while. will check back in 3 months.

This is the wall i was talking about Blackdog.

anybody try to set visual effects on minimum.
no hanging issues for me after that.

I understand the concerns but they WARNED that they where concerned about stability and performance. They needed help hunting down the bugs hence the beta.
Some of you should stop trying out beta's since you obviously can't handle it.

Now, i am just as impatient as the rest of the lot here but i won't whine or complain about ANYTHING before i get my hands on a final patch. Until then do the tests they ask for or stay away from beta tests.

+1

Helped me too!

maybe we should get money for working as beta testers as it seems to become the usual way to develop this game... yes I see progress but not in relation for the time we have to wait. :(

Yes ,that works fine for me to - now I can crash my plane like I use to do without having to restart the game "the hard way" ;)

True, Just looks pony after that :/

Whine when the final patch is out. You don't know if everything is in the beta.

Ok i did 3 missions from the dunkirk campaign and i had just 1 crash so far. i have no freezes almost (before patch was unplayable due the freezes) and i must say colors aren't bad here aswell ( alitle bit more flat then before) but if that keeps the freezes away i'm more then happy with it.

S! Rowddy

Get the game lock too even after reinstalling the game. Effects=Low cures it like already stated.

I know this is a beta (of a beta) but with this betaII I've lost all confidence in the devs. I'd give alot of money to see their todo list two weeks ago and today to see what they have checked.
This game won't be playable for me for another 2-3 official patches.

But thanks for the wind sound when canopy is open (even though engine sound stays the same duh).

One questions to the devs and their chief developer (or whatever he calls himself): How come you didn't notice the explosion lock during inhouse testing when most if not all here has it???
I know I won't get an answer but had to get it off me. :-)

Have fun beta testing. See you a week after next official release.

Hi.
On Repka server we (Hungarians) are using the red-white-green tricolor tail paint. Each Skin JPG is 2048x2048 px, about 1.5 MB. I do not think this size would cause any video card problem (which the game runs well otherwise).

While the visual effects were not turned "low", it was freezing only when a aircraft exploded on the ground. I think it is a coincidence that you looked a custom skinned aircraft at that moment.

Any explosion causes the game not to respond, bombs, selfcrash etc, performance seems same as last patch however I get decreased performance in the london flight. visuals are crisper. hopefully they release hotfix for exlosions.

It would seem lowering visual effects to low stop the lock ups.

the current final patch now the sound doesnt even work for multi player

This patch is a piece of s...t!!!!
I´ve spent a lot of money to upgrade my PC and i was in a good hope that we get the new patch and this game will run!
And what have we got?! A damned bugfestival!

PS: Before this Betabetazetapatch i was a kind of fanboy, but now the time is come that i take this game and maybe i will throw it out of my window!

PPS: Sorry for my bad english, but i think you know what i mean!!!:evil:

Game freezes whenever there is an explosion. Sound continues and I have to end-process from task manager to get out. No dump produced.

Game settings are highest, except Landscape shading is medium, Anti-ep. is off, SSAO is off, vsync is on, Grass is off.

System specs in signature.

Except for the freeze the game seems a bit smoother.

Set the visual effects to low. I know, its a betaII, but i hope, the devs release hotfix soon, because the game much less playable with low effects (most annoying deficiency, that we can't see any bullet impacts)...

Here is what I said over at the zoo...

"Sometimes?
The "bottom line"?
Is a "skid mark"...
Much like this beta patch is a?
Fix...

Another beta patch like this one today?
1C will be on the morphine drip....
Why?
They knew precisely what they released.
They knew it didn't work."

I don't think I'm installing this patch :(

Actually it's in russian and located under the skid mark...

LMAO What a drama Queen......everybody who is so upset with this situation needs to find another hobby.....oh I dont know...like CHECKERS. Keep it coming tho you guys are cracking me up.

Yea right, your not going anywhere just like the rest of us. Your addicted just like a hooker on crack...........You'll be back.
