Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover Retail Patch v 1.01.14550

[Gollum]

My game used to work and run perfectly (based on smoothness alone).. I could at least play before this patch. I didn't download BETA patches for a reason. Now I was forced to download a BETA patch and cant even play the game anymore. This is the first time I have an FPS problem from day one and my buddy couldn't even follow me because my wings were flashing like disco lights. I have top of the line rig that used to run the game perfect, now it runs like an elephant in marmalade. You know somethings wrong when after one patch and 4 beta patches and it's worse then it was the first day I ran it with no patches at all????

WTF!!!!

Fix one thing a month if thats what it takes but at least make sure the thing is fixed and it will improve the game before releasing it.

BETA test your patches before forcing us to download them!!!

UNBELIEVABLE I'm amost out of trust completely.

Er, they did, and you didn't download them. Chill out Precious.

Gollum, you don't happen to own an ATI graphics card, do you?

Two of them... Not linked at the moment because the game doesn't support it. I did read something about ATI cards having to possibly change from full screen back to pseudo full screen but it seems they forgot to include that as an option in the Video menu's (unless I'm missing it, please advise).

Also like to report a new RAF weapon known as the Black triangle of doom that appears every now and then that follows your head when you move so you cant see anything.

Crashes all the time, the stuttering is worse now on the land. It's impossible to change the video settings, just two times I got setting maxed out and it was a good flying on the cities; tried to set low trees, but they disappear completely.

This is unintended. Someone is getting murdered tomorrow morning, hot fix is coming right up.

For now please unbind the prop pitch from an axis and bind it to a pushkey, which is not all that unrealistic. Sorry about that!

Right. Not mentioned in the readme - we would have noted something as major as reworked radio orders. The new AI programmer is hard at work on it. We actually cut out a bunch of changes he made at the last minute because we discovered a small problem with subtitles, but there's some cool stuff there with target selection and identification, as well as much more lifelike simulation of combat fatigue, stress and panic.

He did that to get into our AI code better, and the orders are his current big project. Sorry, it'll take a little bit longer.

Yikes. Are you running with full screen ON? Not pseudo?

What exactly do you mean by stutter? Random hiccups? Connected to any events? Constant tiny freeze-ups?

It shouldn't be crashing. Can you please enable logging for your game
(conf.ini - log=1 - logkeep=1)
and send some crash logs over to luthier1@gmail.com?
This goes for anyone who experiences crashes.

No tracers in the Spit is a feature, a realistic historical loadout. You can change it by manually loading tracers into your plane in Plane Options.

Black lines I thought were fixed, none of us have seen them in a while. Can you please take a few screenshots and send it over to the same address with your conf.ini? Perhaps verify integrity of the game cache in steam as well?

Certainly cant complain about the post patch support..

[SG1_Lud]

Tested de 109 for half an hour. I flow a mission that I use to flow, just for the sake of compare. (German Attack Column)

The sim is smooth. The 109 flies very well, I could get her to 7500 m no problems with correct CEM.

The pp is no problem for me, works like intended. And I didn't even change the config I had before: mapped to an analogue axis it worls well.... go figure

I let steam revert game to previous patch before let it installing this one.

Some observations:

* The visuals have improved, I see more clear the horizon now
* Nice effect of the aircraft sinking slowly in the water when crash landed into it

good good

On the negative side I saw a burning plane in the middle of the air (static). Before this patch also happened.

Good night and thanks Luthier for this last answer and consideration...

Cheers

Asus P8P67 Motherboard
I7 Processor 3.4 GH not overclocked yet
2X ASUS 6950 (not linked yet) waiting for game to support it properly
2 solid state hard drives raided (game installed here)
1 terrabite hard drive (nothing on it yet)
8 gigs ripjawx ddr3 ram
mega cooling heat sink to overclock processer when required.
OH, and windows 7 ultimate

Need anything else?
I did not attempt to try psuedo full screen since I did not see an option to enable or disable it. before this patch my game ran flawless (based on performance alone ( FPS, Stuttering, ect..)

PS. Thaought I had ATI card but does not say so on the box. Are the cards mentioned above ATI? I think so right?

Hi Luthier,

Thanks for your time and hard work - this doesnt work though - the plane loadouts have been faulty in the QMB since launch - you can select tracers etc, but they dont work in the missions - they seem to work ok in MP, but the QMB plane fitout doesnt work.

Also you can select plane weathering, squadron numbers etc, but they dont show up when flying - either in MP or QMB - both elements are broken.

Can you please confirm that this is the same for you, not just on my system? Thanks, it's a big emersion killer for those of us whos systems run this ok.
