Had to work today so still not given it a really good go. General impression is good. Seems much smoother although no massive increase in fps but I can fly quite happily with everything on maximum except for texture quality which is high rather than original. Maybe it is my imagination but it generally seems to 'look' better except in one respect and that is that the resolution of the external skins seem to be much lower. I cannot read the text on the wings of Spits and 109s whereas in pre-patch screen shots it is perfectly legible. I wonder if a bit of such down grading along with lack of clouds accounts for some of the increase in fps they are claiming. Also I have no cloud shadows on the ground.

If the core usage has been optimized for multicore CPUs have the people getting worse performance checked that this is working correctly on their systems? Just a thought.

If the patch has fixed the main instability issues then I think that is the main thing as the rest is still being worked on. It is just a shame it is not a complete fix for everyone yet.

Onwards and upwards.

For offline players this sim completly sucks after the patch. I don't see how anyone thinks it ROCKS. There are so many bugs, they are too many to mention.:evil:

norton 360
 

Norton 360 removed some files after I extractd the file.
I'm sure it's OK but is this a known issue?

Just two cents from me.

I havent big problem with fps in 1.05.15950 and no, or very small stutters but about performance in new version: BIG good work for me. After new patch: over London 60 fps (fixed) / blocked by vsynch + SMAA mod. Tested battles, low pass and noticed nice improvement, no stutters and very big impact with fps. Agree here.

No problem with textures too and CTD.

For sure. Patch has a many small bugs, but good way. New sound of engine Jumo of Ju-87 sounds like Cessna engine from inside.

Good way and I hope to all bugs, clouds, hydraulic cables ect. will be fixed soon.

I didn''t have a problem with my Norton 360 with COD...

I did with another sim I fly, I had to take a file back out of quarantine..

these programs are pretty anal about files.. you have to either turniot off or tel it to accept the files it questions, of course you don't know it's going to screw your files until it's done..

There are many of us, who would like to see the hands of people who wright malicous code have their hands lopped off, that would help solve us having to go through all this protection and problems with having to have protection from malicous codes.. no tears here..

I hate to say this but...... somehow the patch, which I was actually rather happy(ish) with just doesn't seem to be working anymore. :confused:

Lastnight I had great performance with shadows on (Which was new for me) and was able to fly at my proper resolution.....

Today? It has all changed.

In response to this sudden difference, I tried switching shadows off.... went back to the lowest resolution possible, tried even lower settings than before this "patch"..... no difference.

I have now gone from an average fps of 36 to an average fps of 16!!!

BAD SHOW!

Looks like it's back to 1946.......

VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS

Anti-virus software removing legitimate files from applications is never 'OK'. I wonder if this is causing some of the problems that others are reporting. Can I suggest that those reporting bugs let us know what AV software they are using.

I had exactly the same problem - what I did to resolve:

0) Clean reinstall of Cliffs of Dover, then...
1) Made a copy of my pre-patch 'parts' folder (...\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts)
2) Cleared all files in cache (...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache)
3) Downloaded the patch files from Blacksix's link
4) Extracted the files using WINRAR (don't use for example winzip - unpacks but files don't work) into a new folder on my desktop. This results in a new 'parts' folder containing folders 'bob' & 'core'.
5) Copied & then pasted the new 'parts' folder from desktop into ...\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\
6) Get message do you want to merge folder 'parts', 'bob' and then 'core', said yes to each and to copy and replace files.
7) Done - game now starting fine
(if anything goes wrong you can delete your 'parts' folder and replace with your backup copy from step 1).

Well we cried for it now here it is, let us keep giving feedback.

Wow, that ran like crap. Tried to take off in the Blenheim, engines sounded better but it dropped like a stone. Game was stuttery and fairly bad.
