My main issue is I can't save my control settings while in game, nor load any saved ones, this used to work?

Just a note Luthier has a link to the bug reporting post in is op, might be worth posting this there as well.

That is strange Tiger I am happily loading Control settings and Keyboard assignments from the last version.

Ok, I'm going to embarras myself here. I downloaded the patch, which went to my downloads folder. I opened the CoD folder and then dragged and dropped the download into it. It didn't need extracting etc. I can see the download in the list within the CoD folder. I opened the game but the version is still the old one.
I figure I'm doing something wrong. It worries me that people are saying that you 'allow' it to overwrite other files. When I drop it into the CoD folder it doesn't overwrite anything.
Does it sound like I'm doing something wrong?

Looking out to the wings, the stuttering disappears - it's therefore looks like its being affected by the pixels etc relating to the instrument panel and/or rear view mirror! Obviously stuttering in this view is the most bothersome because one can't aim etc.

When looking sideways (to the wings), I get a consistent and smooth 30+fps, whereas when looking straight ahead I get 30+fps dropping to 7fps after every 2 or so seconds (creating the stutter) - hope that helps!?

Sounds like an issue with either shadows or terrain loading to me. Frontal cockpit view renders cockpit shadows which are a framerate killer, try the game without shadows (if you don't already).

Looking straight ahead also means you're seeing the terrain being loaded in front of you - the load/draw distance is much smaller than it was at release and so there is frequent load in the area directly in front of you as you travel/load more terrain. Looking to the sides means seeing terrain that, in most cases, has already been rendered by your flight over/past it, hence the framerate being more stable.


On an unrelated note, just noticed the map display in the vid in the post above... did they really revert to the old IL2 map that takes up half the screen and has a massive (and useless) screen-space eating border? If they did, it will be the first 'step backward' for me since release - I HATE the IL21946 map with a passion, while CloD's has, since release been small, un-intrusive and completely lacking borders.

When I tested I didn't think to look at the map. I assume (though I probably shouldn't) that it can still be resized, but for the love of god someone find a way to get rid of that f*cking border!!

Your username doesn't exactly invite confidence that this isn't a troll, but if it's not - the patch is a .rar file that needs to be extracted into your existing CloD directory, it won't do anything unless it's extracted.

Move the file somewhere else, open it with your program of choice (WinRar, 7Zip etc) and direct it to extract the files to your CloD folder. It will replace the entire 'Parts' folder, so when prompted, overwrite any older files with the new ones. Then clear your cache (find your 1C folder in documents and delete everything in the 'cache' folder) and ensure you have up-to-date .ini files, as per the post here:

Yeh, I gather that others can as well, not sure of the cause, but I have had steam refresh everything and still no luck, I have redone them manually and they stick with no problems, but just cant save them to a seperate file.

Thank you mate. Much appreciated. I suppose I should change my name but couldn't think of anything else. I'm definately not a troll. Old, grey and slightly wrinkly but not a troll. I appreciate you replying to my message very much.
Kind Regards.
