BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - Bug thread

If fact go back to the last " official " path and compare the cockpits. This most recent " beta"patch further washes out the coloring and reduced the 3D look of the entire cockpit. The spinning prop is cartoonish, in certian lighting you barely see thru it. In addition ,I should not be able to distinguish my wingmans " spinning" prop thru my canopy from 100 yard distance, any distance for that matter. When dust, fire, and/or smoke are present the frame rates drop further than the previously released beta. Using the original release as the bench mark, the net improvement is non existant, 18 months from the release.

Agree about the prop lighting ... Frustrating to get eyes on a bogey at distance....come around... only to lose sight of it because the prop obscures your view......not to mention you can't see the runway very well when landing with the sun at your back

Gun belting doesnt work
Weathering doesnt work
Irvin jacket is visible through the fuselage of Spits
When I fire the guns in a 109 I lose FFB
Spitfire oil temp overheats way too easily - max rpm is 2600 now tops

Good evening to all.

Bought CloD about a week ago through steam, worked fine although I had to turn things down, but in fairness it was still pretty. (So long as I kept below 7 or 8 planes everything run ok)
Over the last couple of days however I have try'd more times than I care to count to install the 1.08 patch.

Everything works fine till the loading screen (both single player and multiplayer)
I get the picture and the percentage loading bar and just as it gets to 100%
CRASH
the game locks up and I get a little 'launcher.exe' error message (the launcher is still showing in the task manager)
i validate the files through steam and back to good old 1.05 and runs fine again
Specs Xp sp3, 2.33Ghz Core Duo, GTX 560 1GB

Any ideas as I really want to play on line and almost all the servers are 1.08

Thanks in advance

uninstall :
.net framework
microsoft visual c++
direct x (?)

then go to the cliffs of dover folder and install the on the redist folder

also delete the cliffs of dover folder in documents, let the patched clod create new ones (save user.ini and userconfig.ini for the key config)

ps: its not a patch bug

Need a fix for the Enable/Disable Track IR function which does not do anything currently.

Track IR drops out in Clod and you must exit entire game to re-enable. It would be great if this worked. Arma 2 has a function like that and if you lose it you can re-enable it ingame.

Yesterday on Atag my fps dropped to 1 when I started chasing some 109s, mostly while zoomed in.

arn't these things that would happen in real life? I was watching an air show at the weekend and was interested to see how a small plane does go out of sight fairly quickly in real life too. It was quite cloudy though!

Yes it does, that's why the back face of the prop's are painted black, to reduce the reflection, but with your back to the sun, it still occurs.
I, for one, like this feature. its about putting yourself in the pilots shoes and facing the issue they faced on a day to day basis, it's part of what makes this a simulation not arcade game, even if there are problems with it.

BUG

When I look into the bombsite in the HE-111 H2 the game crashes to desktop with a Launcher.exe error, it seems to happen more if there is a tool-tip displayed at the same time.

Lol i have exactly the same bug except this happens to me in the Ju-88! The He111 H-2 works just fine for me, but as soon as I look through the bomb sight of the Ju-88 I get a crash.
On ground I could use the bomb sight, but in the air I see a light blue screen shortly and a mouse overlay in the center which says "side_left" or sth. like that... then it crashes

Netcode is generl bad. 10 Planes in Formation and you have 15 fps and and and. We have try it many times to fly in Big Formation of 20 Pilots. But netcode is to bad.
