The testing has been a great success! We’re still catching up to all the logs and dumps we’ve received. We’re only up to Wednesday’s logs so far. We’ve identified and tentatively (pending further testing) fixed every bug found so far, except for one. Most importantly, one lucky log gave us exactly what we were looking for, and we got a crash at the precise moment we needed to have it happen.

The only bug we haven’t yet fixed has to do with the game crashing due to some external programs running in the background. We’re still investigating that one. It apparently may be connected to having flash videos loaded in a web browser while playing the game, and / or using voice chat. We’re not done investigating that one yet however, so we haven’t yet fixed it.

With that, we do have an update to the beta that should address the other crash bugs, and address some of the others like reduced quality cockpits. It’s a tiny .dll file that you need to put into your
(Program Files)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core
Folder

Game version remains the same. When sending logs, dumps, screenshots, or any other info, please specify whether it’s pre- or post-fix.

Have a good weekend! We’re back on it Monday.

How about checking Track Ir as maybe one of the culprits as what's launcher crashing CLOD.

Thanks for the update and the mini-fix!
After 5 minutes of testing, I can say that the low quality cockpits are gone for me. Great.

Great news. Thank you!

I have a question if possible. In the last update about BOM (second set of screenshots in the April 13th update), you posted few screenshots with different lighting than what is present in the recelnt version. Closer withe the original beautiful orange sun rise.

Is that kind of lighting part of the next patch, or was it used only for publicity purpose?
