Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover: Patch 1.0.13954

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.

Dear Luthier,

Even if you were to make other " mistakes" trying to fix things rapidly, how could we possibly be mad about that ? We know you and your team are doing your best to fix things up...Its up to us now to help you give the simfans the best WW2 game ever...So please, don't apologize...

Best Regards,

Robert

Hello Ilya and team:

I have just installed Cliffs of Dover today for the 1st time. I have everything set to "Medium" in details, Resolution 1920 x 1200. No graphics problems to report, and I find the game to perform comparably to FSX w/Acceleration with all scenery sliders on maximum, very playable with occasional slow-downs. Here is my system:

Specs in sig...
@ 1600 by 900 (down from 1080p)

VERY HIGH (NO AA) over sea = 8 - 40 fps -> 24 - 110 FPS average 80, with planes 40 to 50+
Overland >still unplayable, but more then playable @ high distant flights

Dog fighting is now possible, AI seem less retarded. (campain and quick flight was unplayable)
Fixed frame rate overall, land and sea by roughly double with forests turned off and buildings reduced, way less stutters but still a few.

After Multicore optimisation 2/4 core's constant use, I think performance will again double over land and buildings will not magically apear.

Shadows/roads etc are still eating frames.

I guess its based on number of objects on the map I I've been getting a better rrate in Multiplayer, averaging about 45 rather than 35 for the single missions.!

Cheers!

After Steam installed the patch, I get this error from Launcher.exe every time I try to play. It's a show-stopper!
