If you do the integrity check, you will go back to the last official version (before all the recent betas).

If you uninstall everything, download and reinstall, it will also get you to the latest official version.

So, they do the same thing, but the integrity check takes less time. I prefer the integrity check

My checklist:


1) Verify integrity of local files (to get back to last official version)


2) Go to your documents\1c softclub\IL-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder and
go into the cache folder. Delete everything in there
(the game will rebuild it based on the new version next time you run the sim).


3) Extract the beta patch in the game folder
(c:\whatever_you_named_it\steam\steamapps\common\I L-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover) and let it overwrite anything it wants to overwrite


4) Run the sim one to force it to rebuild the cache.


5) Start a free flight quick mission to force it to add anything else it
might need in the cache.


6) Exit the sim.


7) Restart the sim.

Now you can test your frame rates with a clean install of the latest beta,
as well as a correct cache folder for your version. If you skip
steps 5,6,7 you might see that initially you get worse performance,
because the game might still be adding files to the cache. However,
the next time you start it, it will be better and you will get the true
performance.

Try that.
