[ytareh]

Just back from holidays and curious to try new beta patch .Slideshow!Have tried everything to get back to the quite playable previous beta level to no avail.Even a slide show at 1024x768 and minimum settings .Have done the Steam 'refresh' ,update of dot NET and DX etc etc ...The game was in limbo/on hold for me what with being good as unplayable online ,this ,that and the other feature isnt working 'yet' etc etc but I fear I could be giving up on it soon Have been playing IL2 since 2004 -looks like I may still be playing it in 2014 ...CLOD hasnt provided 1% of the enjoyment Il2 has ...sad...
