Ok, hotfix is out and it's only a single .DLL file.
There's two ways to go about it.
Either do all of this:
Quote:
1) Verify integrity of local files through Steam: This will roll you back to the latest official version, before the patch we are currently using.
2) Empty your documents\IL2 CoD\cache folder
3) Apply last week's patch (the one we just rolled back from) but don't run the sim yet: We don't want it to rebuild the cache yet. Just extract the files in your main installation folder.
4) Apply today's hotfix (if there is one) on top of it all: Same thing, just extract the file B6 gives us.
5) If you have installed on a hard disk and not an SSD, defrag your game files through Steam: SSD is fast enough and it has a limited amount of rewrites available, so don't strain it.
6) Run the sim: It will take a while to rebuild the cache and load into the main menu screen.
7) Run a quick mission and fly around for a few minutes: I just use the free flight missions and zip around for a couple of minutes. In the event that something is not loaded yet into the cache, flying over terrain, houses, etc will force the game to add it.
8 ) Exit the sim.
You should now be sitting on the final testing patch version with a correctly rebuilt cache. From this point on you can simply launch the sim and fly.

Or do only this:
Quote:
1) Empty your cache
2) Copy/extract the .DLL to the specified folder
3) Run the sim to rebuild cache
4) Run a quick mission and fly around for a couple minutes.
5) Exit the sim.
