I sat down and did a dedicated Multi session on ATAG tonight!
 

I've played some multi before, on and off, but tonight was the first time I've really sat down and played some Multiplayer.

1st, ATAG's server is absolutely kick @#$. There were 40+ players on when I joined (more than any server at any given time in IL2 1946 has had in a loooong time).

The current beta patch has really improved my performance, and my machine is pretty high end. I can see targets (dots) from pretty far out, and they begin to render with increasing LOD's much further than IL2 ever did. I was easily able to identify targets from close a 1KM out, much easier with larger targets.

Fir the first time, I had a ton of fun in this game doing something other than troubleshooting and playing quick mission.

I'm really excited for the future. YAY

Agree, these last two updates have made me quite optimistic.

So there's a workaround for the hotfix not showing serverlist?

Serverlist shows fine for me with the hotfix on, but you could always just do a direct connect.

When I logged on this morning there were 50 players on atag serve1 and 8 players on server 2. Server 2 not patched. Atag rocks,

S!

Enrages me not being able to fly as my Warthog is being fixed, waiting for a new one to arrive and that will take some time :( Sure could join ATAG as gunner for sure :D These 2 latest patches have taken CoD to the direction it was supposed to be from the beginning :)

I believe that was a Steam problem and not the game.

Make sure to join the atag ts3 server. Comms take it to another level.

Had a ball too
 

Jumped onto ATAG and had a blast. The hotfix is spot on. I didn't need to turn off grass etc, only clouds. It was great to be able to fly around enemy planes without any freezes at all. The whole time flying was smooth as.
It's definately on the right track. I reckon they can make the Beta/Alpha patch the official patch now, through Steam.

Won't be long and I'll be seeking an Aussie Squad again and get right into it. :grin:

Just give it some time to refresh the server list. First launch with the new minifix I though "damned where are the servers" as well. But after one or two minutes of waiting (may one time switching between LAN and back to Internet) it did the trick and the list appeared like normal. I guess it just needs some time to recreate itself after a patch. was the same with the first install of the ALPha patch
