Beta Patch – and we mean BETA!

[Psycho_Ch!cken]

Performance in general appears to be significantly better, but the stuttering remains, even over water. It doesn't seem to reduce over time either. Input lag also remains, though it appears slightly reduced.

I've been able to do the Dogfight: Advantage Allies mission and actually shoot planes down, which is nice.

I'm running 1920 x 1200 and have been able to go from Very Low settings pre-patch to a Custom setting half way between High and Very High. The framerate seems to hold up ok now, it's just the stuttering that's killing it.

Core i7 930 @ 3.6GHz, 6GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz, 2 x Radeon 6950 2GB in Crossfire

I like how they have fixed the server part of multiplayer...

But every time i try and load... it crashes (yes i did read the first post about MP not working/ Same patch etc)... I think the 'window' open box was easier to use then the interface they have created now... but we'll have to wait till tomo? (damm work in the morning!)

Cheers

Update - tried to load a quick mission to fly over london...... crashed at 4% load...

Do you have SSDs in IDE or AHCI. Switching to IDE helped a lot (before patch, didn´t have time to test now)

I have the same issue as IvanK. Image here:

Other than that no real difference for me.


And the most important note. If you notice REDUCED performance, crashes, or any kind of other crippling issues, it is extremely important you post your system specs including your version of Windows. That's the only way we can troubleshoot your problem and make sure it disappears by tomorrow!

i5-760; 4gb ddr3 1333; HD6870 1Gb - 1920x1080, all medium except both buildings settings to low.

No Fps gain for me, and still having stutters over land.

Game won't launch now. I get the logo for five seconds or so, then it exits.

If it helps track the bug, I have steam installed on a separate drive.

For those in a similar position who want their working version back, go to the Steam library, r-click IL2, Properties, Local Files, Verify Integrity of Game Cache. It should fail and reacquire the old files. It now launches for me with previous version number.

This patch resulted in a significant improvement of the Framerates in my case. The game became totally playable at high settings and smooth at medium settings as enumerated below (video Settings). I can now enjoy the stunning details of IL2 COD Roughly speaking I think the patch easely doubled the Framerates!

My configuration:
=================

Rig:
----
OS: W7 32 Bits Ultimate (Aero Disabled)
CPU: AMD AthlonII X3 425 (2,7ghz)
GPU: Nvidia GT240
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2H
Memory: 4BG 1333mhz
HDD: WD 500GB (eco green)
Overclocking: NONE, stock settings

IL2 COD video Settings:
---------------------------
resolution: 1280x800, 59Hz 2x
fullscreen
Object Details: Medium Damage: Low
Buildings Details: Medium Buildings Quantity: Low
Ground Details: High Ground Shadow: Low
Forest: Disabled Grass: Enabled
Visuel Effects: Low Shadows: Disabled
Roads: Disabled

At the moment I'm enjoying the sim to much to give a more pertinent bug report but here is 1 small typo and a little bug I came across 10 minutes ago (a futilities really):

1)

- In the French version of the game when you land and brake (using default B key for example) it says:

"Freinage des routes: Activé" "Freinage des routes: Désactivé"

- The message corrected would be:

"Freinage des roues: Activé" "Freinage des roues: Désactivé" (routes = roads | roues = wheels)

2)

- I crashed with a Spitfire, a wing broke off but there was no sound at all when it happened.

Anyway, in my opinion IL2 COD is a beautifull baby trying to make it's first steps. I'm sure it will grow stronger and become a Greek hero

Keep up the great work IL2 Devs !

If you have problems to launch game or get stuck on loading screen, bring up task manager and press il2 cliffs of dover and that solves the problem for me.
