Default And now, a show stopper, for me anyway...

Discovered today that ground attack, which is what the BlitzPigs have always specialized in, is almost impossible owing to being sent directly to desktop when large explosions take place that are viewed through the gun sight.

Straffing cars or even flak emplacements is OK, but hit one of those big fuel tanks on a French base, or shoot up a static Blenheim with the mighty twin 8mms of a Stuka, and BANG! SMOKE!!!! FLAMES!!!! DESKTOP!!!!!!

Every time.

Please sort this out. Oh and while you are at it please make the Blenheim and G 50 actually usable.

Please.

Interesting...

How many Gb RAM do you have in your rig?

I noticed a similar problem, when shooting down bombers at the ATAG server, while looking through the gunsight mode, the amount of available RAM decreases constantly.
When my system reaches 96% RAM utilised, I get the boot...

So, it may be the explosions after all. Can you track the RAM usage with the Task Manager the next time you try to blow up something?

I have six gigs installed.

Last night when this happened I looked in the task manager and just over 5 gigs were being utilized.

There is a massive memory "leak" or whatever it really is, going on.

That's it then!

Interestingly enough, it seems it happens (the programm eats memory) when in gunsight mode (I need to test more).

For me the solution is easy: I start flyng CoD at 78% RAM utilised (my RAMDISK eats 6Gb RAM). When I see my RAM at 96% used, I close the game and restart it.

The nice thing is that the online servers keep my kill ration when I get connected again


But please, do not tell me that you start a new gameand a single explosion can eat up all your memory!!!!????

Grathos...We cant expect that every single CLOD customer is HW and SW expert. And that he will free up his RAM even though he has 6 or 8 GIGS which should be enough for EVERY modern and properly optimised sim, no matter how complex it is. So lets just wait the optimisations.

Interesting... I know that exposions caused problems with the last beta, but I thought it was fixed in the release candidate.

The Blen is useable El, but it's a very sensitive bugger.

I don't have any problems with it now (well, not many), but don't use any more than 60% throttle, don't use boost, and keep a close eye on both head and oil temp.

I've had some great fun skip bombing the ships on ATAG with the Blenny, but my Lord, you have to be careful!

It's called a memory leak.

What happens is the program allocates memory, but doesn't release it later.

So more and more memory keeps being allocated (reserved by CLOD) and as a result the OS has less and less memory to work with, until it can no longer function and the process crashes.

In my case, it's enough to let CloD alone, even minimized, to see the RAM being slowly eaten up, kb after kb, until freezing and crash to desktop occurs @ around 6.5 GB (out of 8 GB). Certain events, such as zooming the view on a plane or object, or watching an explosion, seem to fill the RAM more quickly.

Cheers!
