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

[gyrfalcon]

Y esterdayI've installed the first patch and today I've the new beta patch tested. The result is the same: a total "fiasco". Even worse: the second patch doesen't allow even the menu scran the other allowed before...
I think there is something doesn't work with my PC:

Here the specs:
Sony VPCL13J9E
INTEL(R)CORE(TM) 2Duo CPU E 7500 @ 2.93 GHz
Clock 2.94 GHz
RAM 4GB
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

Have I still a hope?

Oh so now i know why my game crashes all the time. I cycle through enemy aircrafts after every pass i make to see what damage i have done

I have found a way to reproduce the crashes. I mean the "Launcher.exe stopped working" error. I hope this helps the devs to fix it soon.

1. Enter the game
2. Select Quick Mission
3. Select the "Air duel - Low altitude" mission with the default planes
4. Approach the coast of England
5. Keep pressing Ctrl + F2 to switch between enemy planes
6. Alternatively pressing Ctrl + F2 will show the radar towers, too, but floating in the middle of nowhere, in the water. This is due probably to not having loaded textures yet. If you press Ctrl + F2 when in this state the "Launcher.exe stopped working" error will launch

i just downloaded and installed the patch but on the menu screen it keeps saying i'm still in version 1.00.13954. What did i do wrong?

I patched it like this.. took the RAR.file and choose option to unrar in steam then it asks to overwrite files and i said yes. that is all it installed a new "parts" Folder in STEAM. (still got the old one aswell on my dektopas a back-up)

So why is my Update not showing me version 1.00.14072 ?? i did noticed less stutters but i also see the ambulances on the airfield driving about 20x faster as normal and ober and ober gain on the same piece of road as if the are in a loop.

S!

With that laptop I don't think you will ever get this game running even on low settings... Sorry - but it's a low end machine that is below the recommended specs.

Just did a comparison between the old patch and the new one.

Short & sweet:
Over sea, the FPS has increased from an average of about 45 (patch 13954) to 75 (patch 14072).
Free flight over London shows an increase in FPS from 45 (patch 13954) to about 55 (patch 14072).

Stutters have decreased noticably: Moderate to Low stuttering over sea has decreased to undetectable. Stutters over London have decreased from Severe to Low

Game settings were:

Resolution 1280x1024, 75Hz / Anti-Aliasing: 8x /Anti-Epilepsy Filter: Off
Model Detail, Land Detail, Visual Effects, Damage Decals, Building Amount: Medium
Building Detail, Land Shading: Low
Grass, Shadows: Off / Roads: On

My rig:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, 3.2 GHz (I set the game to use 6 cores)
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
GPU: Radeon HD6970 2GB
OS: Windows 7 64-bit

With all in-game video settings maxed-out I get an average FPS of around 25-30. Stutters remain low; this last patch really has improved playability enormeously. Chapeau to the developers!

It is more FPS but some very little stutters now, what maybe are not reminded before because of bad FPS. Microstutters still available, but its now playable.

Now go try a flight over Le-Havre (the Free Flight 109 over Normandy in quick missions). For me (and many others) there is a serious FPS hit in areas with industrial complexes.

Performace: Much much much better than before, the game is really playable now! Congratulations to the team!

Graphics Glitches (didn't take any screenshots) while flying online (Kampfverband 13):

1. Black "fake aircraft" dots were visible twice during the session when in wide angle view but when "zooming in" (30 degree or so view), the dot disappeared. The dot was not only seen by me but also by my squadmate who flew alongside me. We saw the dot disappearing at the same time.

2. Cut-off shadows: When in wide angle view in the 109 I noticed that the shadow of the cockpit frame was only for a narrower view and appruptly ended.

3. Some black lines on the right side of the screen appeared over land. Looked a bit like my card was getting too hot or something

When I do Shift\F2 and look at other planes and objects I eventually get a Launcher.exe 'has encountered a problem' and the game crashes. But framerates and overall preformance are much better since patch.
