possible temporary fix for a Dx9 GCard.

what is beggin to be asked as far as im concerned is the original comments about having to incorporate "THE" filter into the software, the filter has not been removed, so who & how are 1C developing this title now may i ask ?

is it our good selves thankfully not suffering from epilepsy. or are they developing this around the filter still. because i cant personally see a good outcome. on one hand theres this demand and on the other there is the counter intuitive aspect in the form of the filter. WOW thats a technical nightmare of infinate proportions. but not so if we lay waste to everything good that has come from graphical technology updates over the last 5 years. i dont consider my fix a Fix. im just trying to fly smoothly. Incidentally wouldnt it be simply mad to ditch dx9 ???

I don't see a render line at all in my conf.ini

Can you copy your conf.ini text please?

this conf.ini file resides in documents/1csoftclub/il2blahblah. i did make a point of adding it to the BoB section in the other conf.ini file too thats the one that resides in the game folder its self.

edit2: i updated to nvidia beta 270.51 earlier as proposed by 1C


Replace at your own discretion.

You need to use the conf.ini in your "my Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.

Ali Fish please can post your entire config.ini here?

this includes my changes.
Edit: ive no idea why there are now 2 entries for the Render= lol 02:25 here. its late and i been trying to play this sim for 15 hours. I just hope this sim makes it through the tough times. i get the feeling they are very tough. to the dev team explicitly. "theres one word that comes to my mind with this sim,It has the potentiall to be " Charming ! " and i never thought i might say that about a flightsim. it just needs to be that on all occasions at every time. good luck devs.

Vid of graphic glitches and improved performance.

I also got that green stuff at the horizon. Must be Oompa Loompa Land.

I also got the 'solid beams from hell, reaching out to my plane' glitch sometimes.

What I didn't manage to get is the awesome shadows in cockpit, and grass. That kind of renders this rendering method useless for me. (noticed? ) But there definately was an improvement. Not in fps (they got worse), but there weren't that many stutters.

[No145_Hatter]

I realized I was messing with the wrong conf.ini.

This worked wonders for me. It's a different game.

Thank you!!!
