3) Go to the documents\1c softclub\etc folder and delete the file in the cache and cache\shaders folders.
4) Extract the patch in the main installation folder.

Then i go back to the installation folder dig a bit into the subfolders (can't remember which one it is exactly) and rename the logo.wmv so that it doesn't interfere with my Ati card.

logo.wmv is loocated in C/Programfiles(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/il2cliffs of dover/parts/core/GUI

All I can say is "boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" (and I'm not trying to scare anyone). I upgraded my PC back when this game came out, to the minimum requirements that the box told me I could have, because I wanted to wait before throwing cash down on an entirely new PC (just for this game).. and I'm glad did.

Before 1.06, I experienced light lag, aswell as many CTD's.
Now I get CTD's like a crack-w$@% must get STD's and can't even get far enough to judge if I'm getting better FPS or not.. The only thing I got to see is that the resolution of the cockpit has dropped (doesn't appear as clear).

On a lighter note, I think I'm doing a good job at biting my tongue instead of hurling the insults that I'd like to, after making this purchase, and after this long.

My vote got "Far Worse", aswell as the "Worse by Far" unfortunately.

Slightly less stutters, but a further 10% less of the already unacceptable frame rates.

Hm big increase in fps from min 7 to 21 and average 30 to 52 in my test mission (1st red campaign mission). Much more fluent in dogfight. So i am happy with this patch, ok without the texture problems i would be much happier . No CTD so far, but i even have CTDs seldom with the regular patch.

I don't post much but figured I would give me .2c

My rig

I5 2500k OC'd to 5GHZ (yep, and it runs pretty cool with a hyper 212)
8 gigs of ram
120GB SSD (game is on it)
6870 Vid card


I turned my graphics from a med. setting to almost high with everything and sustained the same amount of FPS 20's while taking off, 30's once airborn, 30-40's over cities,boats, explosions

60+ (Vsync) over 2km

Cockpit looks a little duller, everything else about the same..

the red side I noticed does have more issues, I played the blue side for about 30 minutes and some red guys were saying they were having launcher crashes so I jumped over to investigate

Sure enough 5 minutes in and bam! crash

That was with a spit IIA

Then I took up a blen.

30 minutes and 4 ships sunk, perfect


Lets be real, I understand many are having MORE issues, but IMO I think there is much more good than bad..

What I noticed

The g50 seems to fly over all better, warmup was cut in half
The prop animations look amazing!
The exterior sounds are awesome
The blenheim is a DREAM plane! what a sexy beast! she flies cool now, can finally get some altitude, proper pitch settings

The 110 finally can dive to a proper speed without breaking up, I hit over 650kph and was fine!

Everything overall IMO was better than expected, lets not all freak out, keep giving our feedback, these guys I assume are going to be working around the clock, now that the beta patch is out

There is NOTHING better out there for this type of action!

Hey guys! no more "2 MORE WEEKS"

ITS HERE!!! And hopefully small tweaks should be added daily. Keep the feedback going!

Thanks

nice feedback fastfed it's good to hear the silent readers

it's a mixed bag very much like the previous beta patch, half were yelling while others were starting to enjoy the thing.
the blem is becoming a unique experience in itself and the G.50 is nearly there, at last the huge work achieved during the past years is slowly arising,
you won't find this elsewhere. Fans of bombing runs are smiling again 12 years since the mighty 8th

i get much better performance, it's the minimum fps that's the most important, with at least 30 fps minimum the game is totally playable, anything more is just showing off, max fps is pointless over 60 fps unless u have a monitor that displays at more than 60hz . and i can safely say... with my GTX570... the game is playable everything turned up all the way with SSAO off.

Same settings, 20% less fps, ctd, low resolution textures here after patch. - ironic mode on - Great improvement - ironic mode off-
As other pointed at before, starting to think this is going nowhere.
