Cliffs of Dover Fight Nights!

I'm here to gather players to play on a server with more action!

If you want to know more about how this could help the Clod multiplayer community, specifically in getting more players to actually play mutliplayer, check out my other thread here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=30756

The server I invite you to join me on is:

Nevermind. I don't think this will work. Right now the REPKA Duel server is populated and there is no password on, so I invite you to join me there.

Edit: If someone will help me out finding the delete thread option I'll get rid of this entirely.

I would join but the patch isn't out yet and it would be pointless at the moment due to crashing and FPS. When the patch is out and it does this 50% increase the developers says it does then I will join you. I just hope this patch is sooner rather then later because I have had patience for a year now and never moaned once.

I talk and fly a lot with our squad, and a lot of us fly, several flight sims and several versions of IL-2. We chat about the upcoming patch, the problems we have now, the need to stop cheating, the lack of servers.. and also most people gather on one server, so everyone gravitates to that server. ...

We need the patch, the steam to put in anti-cheat, we run our own IL-2 1946 server, but haven't yet started our own COD server..

The lack of the patch is one reason why many people have chosen to wait to buy it, or fly it more often... some cannot afford to make a huge upgrade for the performance issues, others are sick of the open cheating....

just sayin' like it is,,,

we wait like everyone else to improve...
No way in hell I can afford to upgrade my current computer,,, but I can run on medium,,,
there are a lot of times where in a dogfight over ships the fps drops to almost frozen...
but most the time it's ok... but the patch is desperately needed,, and if it can be shown that the average IL-2 pilot doesn't need to spend a fortune to fly COD, then the rest will buy it... then the matter of the cheating, and needing some security against that...

I am not saying anything new here.. but, I have said to my friends, hey, lets try more servers, and said hey, maybe if we go to another server, maybe some will follow us over..
but, so far, no luck in having more servers rocking with COD...

And no way in hell I can run a server, it takes a monster computer just to get decent fps..
and since there is no dedicated server software that is killing the idea of running a paid server, like we do for IL-2 1946..

Just more thoughts..
hopefully, maybe, soon,,

How can you cheat in this game may I ask? and why would anyone want to. Also I have never crashed the program since using memory booster.

Hang on PotNoodles -- good times ahead In the meantime, give ATAG server a try if you want a peek at your online future. They're a helpful bunch of guys. Most of them are old hands with flight sims and they've come up with some temporary work arounds for the Steam glitches etc.

Online as well as offline? Could you share your system specs please?

[Peaveywolf]

Both. I play on ATAC. Offline is when I crashed most to tell the truth. I tend to only play online now whilst I practice my bombing techniques and have never crashed the program to this day. I still may, but I don't think its as virulent as people make out, def not a game breaker. I think most of the ATAC team would attest to that.

Mac pro 1.1, 4 gig, 2 x zeon 5150 dual core processors running at 2.66mhz, win 7, gtx460.

Re CTD's - just info we've picked up on over the past few months:

1) Seems to happen mostly online (Peaveywolf's experience notwithstanding)
2) Happens mainly in high intensity situations ie dogfights (extremely aggravating)
3) multi-engine formations over prolonged periods of flight. ie. bombers ingressing/egressing from mission targets (extremely aggravating)
4) happens in high-graphical load situations such as low level flight over terrain
5) happens on moonless nights when Jupiter in conjunction with Venus

What to do?

1) wait for the patch. Devs acutely aware of this memory leak problem and should have it resolved.
2) erase 1C Softclub Cache folder (including Shaders folder within) prior to eac session
3) after each sortie exit then re enter CoD
4) don't fly bombers in intense dogfights low over terrain, particularly in formation

No guarantees to any of the above reducing or eliminating CTD's. No one seems immune. I usually fly online daily ~2 hrs and, following step (2) only, have suffered only one CTD (screen freeze, actually) this year. Just as I was lining up on a 110 flying low over the Dover coastline. No, really....I was. Very aggravating.

Some use Memory boost utilities with reported success; can't hurt, I suppose. No one seems immune, powerful machines/low end machines all seem to get hit. Can't hurt to have lots of RAM with Win 7 64 bits to use it; but I'd wait for the patch before spending money on this reason alone, IMHO.

[ATAG_Doc]

Flying alongside 104th Iron Mike in his 110 made me CTD. I was in a 109 just flying all over the place looking at a new mission. Something about them multi-engine Axis planes that cause it.

[ATAG_MajorBorris]

I'm pretty sure cheaters arent nearly the evil force you might think Ramstein, its a small communty and most people you see, you have seen before if you fly a bit.

Besides, why would you go through all that trouble to learn the plane, tweak a pc, get proper position, etc......just to use a cheat.
