Don't know if youre wait was intended.

So I should've posted something like "486 posts and you just bought the game? How could you stand the wait or was it intentional? Glad to have you flying. See you online."

Sorry for bringing the thread offtopic.

no problem I bought the game after I bought a new video card, I had a 4770 with 512mb, so I bought a 6950 with 2 GB and when I got the game I paid it only 15 euro, I prefer to wait some weeks after a game is released. In the meantime I played, and still play, IL2 1946 with and without mods.

ive deleted the old icon off the desktop and created a shortcut to the launcher.exe , much better now .

Dude, i think you might be on to something here.
I gave it a try myself, with the old desktop icon, and launching from the game itself and trying out online. i watched the memory in the task manager, with the old icon, would work with 1,400,000k+ of memory when entering into the server, crashing, locking up, C++ errors, then starting from the launcher.exe in the cliffs folder it was running at around 900,000k memory usage, hasnt crashed on entry into the server, no lockup, no errors. Ill try it for a bit longer but looks to be helping me thanks for the heads up welsh

I am not disputing your findings as I haven't tried this yet (at work atm) but I am curious as to how this could work.

Isn't the desktop icon just a link to the .exe in the IL2 CoD folder ?

[Buchon]

Not totally sure but the desktop icon call the game to start through Steam, while if you start the game through Launcher.exe the game just ask for verification and starts.

It seems equal but its not.

the icon installed by steam doesnt directly aim to the launcher exe, it points elsewhere. Im wonderinng to why this would make a difference, but i know im not trippin lol. Was playin on a server with clouds this arvs... I have never been able to do that without massive stutters. Also the game crashing whilst loading the server map at the selection screen and c++ errors have stopped. Weird as it sound, it seems to work for me

I tried this and it made no difference to my game...get in a furball near the dek and the whole game slows to a halt..

Even if im engaging a bomber on its own and i smoke it, it has a big FPS hit if im close...this wasnt happen prior to this Beta
