However some people with 6xxxs do report improved or acceptable performance, so this may be tied to some specific settings.

Quick thing to try is to delete the contents of your
(Documents)\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache\shaders
and see if that helps it.

If you have a HD 68xx or better Radeon card, you more than meet the recommended reqs and should not need to turn down any settings besides perhaps Forest and Buildings Amount.

We'll be looking into this aggressively and by Monday should have either a hotfix or a rollback for the affected users. My apologies to everyone affected.

Please, I don't want to sound rude or aynthing, I am just astounded because I wanted to upgrade to a system build around a 6950. Will we be forced to run below full settings even with such a system?

I mean,, you want to unlock a lot of more complex stuff in the future and if a high end system will now only run below max settings, what are we supposed to do when the next major update comes? Upgrade again?

No no no no, what I mean is, the cards and all the Radeons are perfectly fine. Our lead graphics programmer is running one etc. We are fully supporting them and there's no preference to any manufacturer or anything like that.

It simply looks like we made a mistake somewhere in the rush to release this patch which we'll rectify ASAP.

This won't happen again.

great evening flying tonight, much improved ! thanks 1C

If a picture speaks louder then words a video speaks louder then a picture.

The first video is with the beta patch setting set to high but forest low at the first of the video.

When I first got CoD it played like the second video until I set to 800x600 on my then it looked like the first video.

That is not working now.


Intel core Duo E8600 @ 3.33GHz
3.00GB OF RAM.
Video card GTX 470
MOBO- Gigabyte GA-EP45_UD3P
Windows XP Pro 32bit.

Thanks,

Your second Vid is how my Graphics have looked from day one. Ive tried EVERYTHING. There has been a few others that have posted pics but yours is the first Vid Ive seen. No One had found a solution other than switching to Win 7. I dont have 150 to spend on win 7...All of us seem to be on XP with this issue. New patch did nothing for me....
PLEASE HELP US FIX THIS!
anyone....??

Exact same problem for me, was unable to fix it. Some people with older cards than mine (GTX460) seem tu run the game fine, looks like if it's a combination of XP+DX9+certain recent Nvidia cards+drivers ?? that cause the problem.

You can get Win 7 64 bit for 100 USD through newegg.com. OEM version, but it's pretty much the exact same OS, so vOV.

Hmmm...

more testing has, as soon as trees are set above Very Low the stutters return - to pre - patch levels.
memory usgae was 1024Mb
AA still gives a fps drop whem turned on ingame


we need a 64bit exe
the sim also needs an ingame Vsync similar to Heaven (Unigine)

does the sim use Ambient Occlusion? (the shadow flickering seems consistent with the shadow flickering in Heaven (Unigine)

Win7 pro 64bit oem isn't 100. That's what I require. I've been using oem since the 8088 days.
Im thinking its a driver issue not a OS issue. I just got a brand new gtx 460. Seems tthis issue is mostly nvidia also.
I may bite the bullet at the end of the month and get win7 if I have any money left. Issue still needs to be fixed cause it makes the game unplayable.
