Thanks and why do you think I was hoping for the patch before she was born lol

[=FI=Scott]

I would like to know whether the particle effects problems are as per the current game version or have crept in with the new engine ? I would also like to know if the decal problem has been nailed ?

Although I respect the desire to release as good a patch as you can this will be a beta, yes ? Perfection is elusive and you will always find something to tweak. The boards here and elsewhere are getting quieter and that is not good for the game.

Personally I am not interested in the BoM project as I think it has been done before (and done well) but I do appreciate that there is a big target audience in Russia and commercial decisions must be made. I do think posting something about that is still far better than nothing at all.

Truth be told I'm relieved there is no beta out. I've lent my copy of the game to someone who wants to give it a go but wasn't keen to part with cash as things stand so I'd be well miffed if everyone was blasting round with super high fps's and no ctd's !.

Thanks for the update.

They are fixing the microfreezes, for the sequel and for COD.

Yes agreed i was wondering that.If it doesn't work for Clod then BOM will suffer the same.

They wont release BOM with the old engine, in fact it was stated that the screenshots were with the new engine, and we wont see the new engine till the stutters are fixed...

We still don’t have the beta of the patch ready for the public, nor do we have a definite release date. The particle system remains a final bastion of the micro-freeze. We almost succumbed to public pressure and released a version of the patch with micro-freezes every time there are particle effects on screen, but finally decided that would be anticlimactic at best. Drops in FPS every time you fire your guns would only add oil to the fire, in our opinion. Better to face your ire a little longer for not releasing the patch than to face the outrage when the long-awaited beta is imperfect.

Still, while our graphic programmers are struggling with that, other team members are progressing along other fronts.

We are showing you some screenshots of the most iconic aircraft from the upcoming sequel. We are currently fine-tuning the flight model, and new ground-attack AI routines. We just cannot hold back the screenshots of how cool it looks. We’re all stoked here.

We know that none of you can really share our joy yet, and Cliffs of Dover is all you have at the moment. We have discussed at length whether we should even be talking about the future while our present is in the state it’s in. Dissension notwithstanding, we did decide that some extra glimmer of hope is better than complete silence. The last thing we want is for an extra segment of the community to start complaining that we’ve stopped showing our Eastern Front content as well.

So that’s the update then!

Have a great weekend!

Nice pictures, but how are you going to release a sequel without even making Cliffs of Dover something we'd even want to play?
