Fixed the New Patch/Game - Sticky me?
 

Forget it. Doesnt work. Single players ok but MP is porked. - READ WHOLE POST.


Ok due to the patch I was having lock ups and CTD's every 10 mins... It was unplayable.

Ok here is how I fixed my game. DO NOT START THE GAME UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED!

1. Uninstalled my antivirus.
   
2. Verified the integrety of the game cache via steam, this revertedc the game back to latest offical.
   
3. Deleted cache folder in 1csoftclub - yes the enitire folder!
   
4. Turned Steam Synch cloud off for Clod.
   
5. Disabled steam community for clod.
   
6. Redownloaded the patch from Airwarfare (incase my patch was corrupted) Install it!
   
7. Extract the game with winrar thus: aim the unpack at the steam/common/apps/cliffs of dover folder.... DO NOT unpack it and copy the files in your self. Dont ask me why. You wont get prompted to overwrite if you have done this right.

My game now works flawlessly at 60 fps - Avg, min and max. Ive just loaded a single mission with collisions off and let the plane bounce around for an hour. Came back its still working. CEM was off also, so maybe this is a bug I might encounter later.




Heres the bad news - you will have to remapp all controls...

Why do you have to remap all controls?

because they will be gone... :(
They are in the Steam cloud.

Unless you're clever and saved the controls to specific files (i.e. I have a specific control file for flying the Bf 109 and one for the Ju 87), copied those to another folder and then reinalled it. ;)

A?

My cloud and Sync have always been off and I have still kept my controls after a file check and cache clean

There are on your system. Mine were over written. I think they are in the confuser file. Just make a backup.

Controls are stored in confUser.ini IIRC but I save them as a different file for backup. It is also possible to back up the whole Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder before reinstall.

Farber: Can you please provide an md5 or sha1 checksum for the archive you downloaded?

Well I must be the only one that doesn't lose them then..Id only lose them if i uninstalled the game totaly
