there is no point in trying to fly if all we get are Launcher ctd's... they can make the planes pretty but if the game wil not stay running it's garbage..

I'm with you, I have had no Launcher CTD's before or after the patch. I run 1920x1200 with mostly HIGh settings (building, forest medium) and I get steady 60 with VSynch on. My only real downer is enough people are having trouble to keep the online community from growing.

It is a downer, if the final of this patch doesn't improve things for the majority, the sim will be effectively dead, as far as the development is concerned. It will continue to have a life though, as many people with highly optimized systems can fly it now, others will later when they upgrade, and third parties will continue their work on the sim. Personally I can fly the sim @1920x1080 everything ON and set to high with decent frame rates, as my system has a seperate SSD highly optimized for only this task.

It is a legitimate question, and your failing to see its relevance and validity does not invalidate it.

[=Kike=]

This is my opinion, not truth ..... Sorry my bad English ... (google translation is my friend ... or not )

I do not usually post on this forum, I just happened to read about the unfoldment of the sim and completely avoid the users who constantly complain. Bored I read a lot.

I belong to a Spanish squadron of IL2, and not everyone here has a super powerful PC, even to play IL2 1946, some colleagues have to sacrifice quality.
When I speak of IL2 Clod with my colleagues what I get clear is that the image is "you need a PC last generation to play smoothly." This is the biggest problem for migration to the IL2 Clod, in my humble opinion, "the idea of ​​performance is necessary to play."

Not everyone can afford to change graphics or CPU, or have a SDD in times of crisis we have in our country.

This is the mentality that I think is in many squadrons.

I keep asking my opinion, remember ... do not have to coincide with each other.

The picture I see developers think it has improved exponentially, it is my opinion. (I am a very angry user to buy a beta version of a simulator for about 60 €, but also I am objective and I think I understand the reasons for the simulator output in that state beta)
With the departure of the last official patch I think it has gained a lot in performance, and this latest Alfa patch I think it reflects that they are working hard, even more, the sequel to this work in progress apparently. Il2 Clod with all its mistakes, only shows that do not deceive us, who are working hard.

My doubts and the lot of people:
With the departure of last patch, where release, is it may run a Clod IL2 low-end PC? (Eg, dual core, SATA II, midrange graphics, 1280x1024)

If they show this, that with a modest PC can play IL2 Clod, this simulator can become a worthy substitute for IL2 1946. If so, long live the IL2 1946. (I know that it's difficult, Il2 1946 its a great simulator...and easy to play)

My PC is powerful, but i would like to become a Il2 Clodworthy successor to IL2 1946 ->> for all <<- I think That this is good for all user, with money to play high end PC and without money to purchase new hardware.

For example.... : http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=31935

Good luck to the developers and programmers of this simulator.

Hi FF,
I had two crashes over two days after the patch then re-patched doing this much-posted sequence, courtesy of Blackdog_kt and others:

"The official/final patches are automatically handled by Steam, but when installing an alpha or beta there's some more legwork involved to make it work properly. Here's what i do:
1) Verify file integrity through Steam: This makes sure i have the correct files for the latest official version, ie the one before the optional patch.
2) Defragment game files through Steam.
3) Go inside my documents\1c softclub\Il2 CoD\cache folder and delete all files within it and the shaders subfolder.
4) Extract the optional patch into the sim's main directory (if prompted to overwrite existing files, choose "yes").
5) Run the sim and wait for it to rebuild the cache i deleted with the correct files for the new version.
6) Run a quick mission and fly around for a couple of minutes to "force" it to load anything it might need to load.
7) Exit the sim."


No crashes since.

Also be sure to use Winrar or 7zip to unpack the files, not Winzip.
And of course rename the intro video at \\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI\Logo.wmv to Logo_bak.wmv

They should put that on the box then "Only for the highest of high-end rigs for smooth gameplay at highest setting, recommended settings are for people that can live without basic effects such as cloud and grass....and trees. PS SSD is required.

2) Defragment game files through Steam.

If you have Steam on SSD you shouldn't use defrag, since SSD has limited number of writes. And it don't really help anyway on SSD.
