Good news about crashes!

[Ataros]

naryv, one of the developers, wrote at sukhoi.ru that developers specifically addressed the issue of multi-engine aircraft crashes when flying in formation. 2-3 weeks ago I PMed BlackSix that this is the most fast way to reproduce online crashes. Then the devs reproduced and fixed it. Guys from ATAG tested it after the patch flying bombers in formation without crashes.

What does this mean?

This means that each individual type of crash has its own reasons and having received crash dump files of each individual crash developers will fix them one by one, and this is good news. But to fix crashes for your particular hardware and drivers developers must obtain crash dump files from your PC. If you do not send crash dumps you will crash more often than others eventually.

This is what this alpha-release was issued for.

Please take crash dumps from Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cppcrash

and send them with a description to ishevchenko@1cpublishing.eu

together with log.txt which you can find in Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover (enable logging in conf.ini first by changing Log=0 to Log=1)

So! Get testing. Get reporting. Make sure your logging is enabled, and send us your crashlogs!

Now, when the engine core is mostly rewritten and time for bug-fixing has come I hope we'll have new beta patches releases more often.
