I sat down and did a dedicated Multi session on ATAG tonight!

if only there was an Atag-europe, or other server where people would go in Europe...

Repka?

I hope we get an official patch soon.

I miss flying with you guys.

You should just d/l the patch El, it works very well for most.

Hi Flanker,

You may want to try the Thrustmaster TM16000 stick (and keep it as a spare for when your repaired Warthog comes back). Not only is it relatively cheap at $41 (
http://www.amazon.com/Hercules-29607...6926188&sr=8-1) ---- it uses the same Thrustmaster TARGET programming software as the Warthog.

I have one as a spare. It's well made, uses Halls sensors for X- and Y- axis, and has a good feel to it.

Understandably, you may feel it's a waste of money to buy a 2nd stick when you already have one. If so -- so be it!

Pupo,

Trust me in saying you should be able to play IL2COD just like old IL246 with 400 ping without having any issues.

But as I've reported several times now, the netcode is broken. The game simply will not allow the server to stream all the bandwidth it wants to.

To give you an idea. Our server uses around 6% of the CPUs (we have a 12core monster) with 90+ players on the server. The server is basically sitting at idle running a full server of IL2COD. The bandwidth comes from one of the main trunk lines of the internet itself. It has a 10 GIGABYTE per second connection both upload and down. We are the epitome of overkill.

The netcode of the game is the problem. When it finally gets fixed, we'll see that 125 player massive online action. Until then, anything from the mission, to the number of objects, and number of players, all has a choke point before things will go to crap.

Hesitant EL is hesitant...

In the past using betas would mess up the official install when it came out, as I recall. I'm not much for doing it over and over till I get it right anymore.

Or is this a non issue these days?

Oh, and what Doggles said...

If you want to take your game back to official just verify it in steam, it 'should' be problem free.

I personally would delete cache and then do a Steam Verify.
