Saturday, May 12, 2012. Patch Alpha – Report 2 + mini-fix

BlackSix · #1 05-12-2012, 02:37 PM

Hi everyone,

The testing has been a great success! We’re still catching up to all the logs and dumps we’ve received. We’re only up to Wednesday’s logs so far. We’ve identified and tentatively (pending further testing) fixed every bug found so far, except for one. Most importantly, one lucky log gave us exactly what we were looking for, and we got a crash at the precise moment we needed to have it happen.

The only bug we haven’t yet fixed has to do with the game crashing due to some external programs running in the background. We’re still investigating that one. It apparently may be connected to having flash videos loaded in a web browser while playing the game, and / or using voice chat. We’re not done investigating that one yet however, so we haven’t yet fixed it.

With that, we do have an update to the beta that should address the other crash bugs, and address some of the others like reduced quality cockpits. It’s a tiny .dll file that you need to put into your
(Program Files)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core
Folder

Game version remains the same. When sending logs, dumps, screenshots, or any other info, please specify whether it’s pre- or post-fix.

Note: the game can also crash if you have the PowerStrip utility running in the background

Have a good weekend! We’re back on it Monday.

Does the sender of the one lucky log win some kind of prize?

Thanks again for the info, will give this a spin when I've got a bit of time later this evening.

Thanks.

I am surprised that anyone has a video/flash running as it halves fps (on ati gpu anyway).

lets see

good rithim ... keep it up, !

EDIT

no more bad quality pits are gone... but we lost AA inside the pit. cockpits look jaggy again. they were soft at silk before

and it seems to me like stuttering is back.

I dont know if this will be read by development team but it is worth pointing out that activating mumble overlay (voice communication system) caused instability for me, including a black screen. Might be worth looking into.
