New set of DLLs, from February 27th, 2008

[crazyivan1970]

Greetings!

Look for newest Core DLL`s from March 13th at page #4, post by KIA

Feedback, such as tracks, conf.ini, screenshots is greatly appreciated!! Please post them here or submit to pf@1c.ru


Note: Just in case keep previous version. Dont overwirte it, simply rename it with the date or something like that.

Hmm... The last ones worked great for me (ATI). Will I be giving up any "eye candy" by using this new version?

Thanks....

The water is now purple. It turns a lighter purple near the horizon and the reefs/shallows are fully visible.

It is also two dimensional (no animations).

Thanks crazyivan1970,
Have just tested the new DLL's on my system - everything looking very good. I have sent test ntrks and system specs direct to IC for checking.

You sent the ntrks for checking? What's that good for? With ntrks you can show them where you fly and how, but AFAIK those tracks are rendered locally, they can only see if they got any problems on their machines where and how you've flown, not how your machine renders the flight.

Can anyone check Crimea, 12:00 around 1500m alt, weather set to THUNDER, flying parallel to the coastline and banking the plane to the left/right to see if the foam coastline changes its color from almost white to pale light brown?

Not sure if it was before, if it was I hadn't noticed it. I have AA set to 4x. I've sent them a mail with pictures, track, conf ini and my computer specs

Anyone with ATI getting 1-3 seconds freezes with new DLL? And very unstable FPS?

Haven't noticed that so far. Only played for an hour or two with the new DLL's though.

These seemed to be a slight improvement for me; with the 2/15/8 DLL's I got 37FPS avg on The Black Death, with the 2/27/8 ones I got 40 with the same settings (avg result of 5 runs each). Using Sapphire X1950XT, 7.11 cats, 1280x1024, water=2.

I have noticed some things seem blurrier (compare the briefing map icons or aircraft markings for example), but the AntiAliasing seems much better. I was getting jaggies with the 2/15 dll's even with my vidcard's AA maxed out, but these new ones make things quite smooth. This is with all graphics settings remaining the same, only replacing the dll files.

I have issues on the simple desert map with the coast line and some ground textures during bad weather. I have a Pentium IV system with a 7800GT, drivers 169.28 (water=4). I didn't have these issues with the previous DLLs. Have track if you need to locate the exact spot but should be obvious.

Images (will be up in a sec, bear with me):

@Stew - I checked on my other PC, which has X1800XT and cats 7.9 it runs fine... problems with IL2 started with 7.12s and up...

@Fokker - submit all the info that described in the initial post to pf@1c.ru, thanks
