Ive got the same problem with the crashes, sometimes CTD, sometimes graphics freeze and have to use task manager to close, generally after about 1/2 hour of play. Mind you, when i was playing the evening map i was able to play for longer.

Other than that it runs perfectly smooth for me :) Dont know if ive said it b4, but thanks for a great server ATAG guys. Great server, with a great crew playing on it, it makes all the difference :)

Here are mine
[NET]
speed=250000
localPort=27016
serverName=56RAF Convoys Mission << just a record of my own last mission, not ATAGs
serverDescription=IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover
serverInfo1=testing << just a record of my own last mission, not ATAGs
serverInfo2=
serverInfo3=
serverInfo4=
VAC=1
maxPlayers=12 << just a record of my own last mission, not ATAGs
socksEnable=0
socksHost=
socksPort=1080
socksUser=
socksPwd=
host=216.52.148.29
port=27016
localHost=
tryDirectConnect=1

I did have speed=25000 like yours and I never had CTD.

I increased it to 250000 to see if it helped with pauses when players entered the game (or loaded custom skin?) Over an hour I only had one two second pause instead of many. Jury's still out on that though.

Also:
Broadband is "20Mb down/2Mb up" (getting about 17/1.6)

Settings: All High except Anti-Epilepsy, SSAO, Forest, and Grass all off. Buildings Amount = Medium.

Now that is interesting, I didn't know that before - thanks for the explanation. So, it's not considered to be 'unsporting' to use the zoom feature? And there I was with my face pressed up against the screen these last few months! I shall map it to one of my sliders immediately!

Apologies to Mrs X for questioning your honour :cool:

Just had a great fight with EvangelusE on ATAG server.

S!

A few stutters but nothing to complain about really. No CTD!

I don't particularly enjoy the stuff that happens near Hawkinge, but lately I've been just flying cover over that airfield to help protect pilots trying to get off the ground. I usually take off from Manston and climb to about 10,000 before I get to Hawkinge.

That's really interesting Ataros. In my 10 years or so in IL-2 I had often wondered why such a useless (30') view was provided. Now I understand its an attempt to give us a dimensionally accurate impression of sitting in the cockpit - which I suppose it is for the average monitor and viewing distance. But as I said, in practice its useless. So what I need is at least three monitors, preferably five, to get a useful panorama out of the 30' FOV.

Donatons accepted....... :)

I don't know if it is this pox ridden POS buggy game or we have a couple of print screen mutha F's out there but damn this game pissed me off tonight with lockups, crashes, slide shows you name it, it did it. only when i was going in for the kill though!

Hey trumps!

I had a lot of fun last night. Though the game only crashed once as the server loaded a new mission.

I didn't know doing taking screen shots effected the game. Though I only took one after I had crashed and I had unusual graphic effect. Sorry if it effected other players. Will not do it again on line.

A few times I had some quiet long freezes a couple of seconds or so.

Cheers and hope to see you online again soon!

heya bud, in all honesty i don't know if they are an issue, it was probably more just a case of my connection being on the piss tonight for some reason, though i did seem to suffer most of these at the most in-opportune times, don't mind me, just having a little vent ;) was good fun in the main though thats for sure.

Cheers

Sorry to hear that you had problems Trumps. Mind you, not sure wether you intended to be humerous, but your chat lines with Bliss (while you were escorting those Ju87s and the RAF suddenly appeared from nowhere) had me smiling. That was a big formation and I had a slide show too......you got one of the Reds.......he probably wished you were suffering stutters and freezes as you squeezed the trigger......:grin:
