Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover: Patch 1.00.14072 -ARIL 15

[Otellino]

Hey all; I just registered to say that the beta patch has improved FPS for me quite a bit over land; at 1920x1080, All settings set to Very High/High (Maximum each field allows) and buildings/forests set to High. However, I seem to have gotten an extremely annoying bug which happens at times, and I can't play the game when it occurs: Sometimes, the camera seems to start snapping to different angles for no reason, as in, I start flying, then suddenly the camera snaps to looking behind, then to the side, then top-down view, then zooming into the gun sight, then out again. It dosent happen all the time; For example, in Quick Mission and Campaign, I start a game, and the bug might not happen. I finish my flight, want to try again, and it happens. It sometimes happens a few times in a row (Even when testing a mission in the FMB). Restarting the game has no effect, it will still happen randomly. Rolling back to the previous patch with steam solves the issue, but I get reduced FPS. My system specs are as follows:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK P7P55D
Processor: Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs), 3.2GHz
RAM: 8.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB (It is a Sapphire Vapour-X)

I'd be happy to provide more information if it is needed.

Just had one ctd (launcher) today, after a couple of hours flying online and buggering on the bad behavior of the controls (stick, mouse and keyboard input, responds bad or not at all). Ended up flying with dirty configuration a couple of times because the gear wouldn't retract nor the radiators close.

Flying over London.
Overall it seems to run a lot smoother in high/very high settings. Minor freezes on changing views. Mirror still has issues with cubes and black streaks, so i'm not using it (well if you see the yellownose in it it's too late anyway...). Sometimes the shadows will cause black streaks in the pit.

Keep it up!

Better FPS

Bugs come back...no joystick input if i goto external view, cant get back into cockpit when goto external view...very very annoying

game still unplabale due to white dots Artifacts all over cockpit frame and plane model

I have the game sort of back to the level of performance I had with the mod, but it's nothing to write home to mother about.

I did find that the missing buildings came back when I restarted the mission again (although it does seem like there are a few empty "lots" in Dover) so it seems like a texture loading problem.

I'm still plagued with flickering shadows though, seems nothing will get rid of them.

Grabbing it from megaupload, it runs fast. Can't wait after all the enthusiastic feeback I've read on these pages.
Thank you team.

This patch intoduced a lot of crashes to my system. Usually what happens is that with every single mission i play FPS will go down a notch until game turns into a slideshow and then stops work completely.

I havent crashed before but today is diffrent.

I always seem to crash in multiplayer after the beta patch.

Tried to delete all the controls in view, camera, etc. Tried F9. Checked my joystick profile. Deleted all my config files and let steam re-download them (EDIT: then re-applied the patch).

Can anyone help me?

Thank god im not alone, and that its (seemingly) not just on my end. It doesn't seem to be completely random, possibly to do with framerate/looking at land/zooming in? Not sure. EDIT: What joystick/joystick drivers do you have Otellino?


Specs:

Vista x64 Home Premium
4 GB DDR2 at 400MHz (timings fiddled with)
ATI HD 4870 (512MB) overclocked @ 780/1040 (Catalyst 11.2)
Core 2 Duo E6600 overclocked @ 3.3 GHz
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music (7.1 surround speakers)
Saitek X-52 (Driver:6.0.4.1. Software: 9.9.9.9


Video Settings:

After re-install of config files, Resolution: 1920*1080 @ 60Hz (native resolution), Full Screen: On, all settings default (medium), eplilepsy filter off, AA off, grass on, shadows on, roads on.


Audio:

Music off, surround.


Other Remaining Problems:

Apart from performance, there was still stuttering at low altitude over water in the short time ive used this most recent beta. This may have been due to me using higher settings (all medium) after deleting my configs. Sound stutters also when this happens, and can cut out (can be silent until reboot sometimes).
Controls sometimes get deleted in controls menu instead of just the key/axis.
Various other problems which I will leave for later.
