Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover: Patch 1.00.14072 -ARIL 15

For whatever reason fps took a nosedive, the beta was much better but this "official patch" was a step backwards on my system

Not for me.

Much better performance than beta from friday!

Furthermore it is hard to say, whats the reason, because i don´t see your system specs.

I'm running a dual core processor, so take my comments with that in mind. (I know the patch works better with quad cores.)

I left SSAO off, but left textures at 'original' setting. Otherwise, settings were unchanged. (A combination of high and medium settings.)

Performance over general terrian is as good or better than with the mod installed, but once I fly over industrial areas, the frames drop from 35+ to about 8. Yikes!

Performance over London is worse too I'm afraid, at least in my case.

Regarding the rendering of buildings - I always hated the pop-up of the buildings before, and I much prefer the fact that buildings no longer do so. The 'lego' look I can tolerate, even if at low altitudes it looks quite ugly.
Higher up though, one doesn't notice the lack of visual aesthetics too much.

I'll test some more and see how things go. My biggest concern at this point is the jarring drop in framerates in industrial areas.

Sadly I think the time is finally up for my poor old dual core. But I've had 4 years of good service out of it so I can't complain.

the last official patch with nossao and lowtex mods gave me double the framerate of what it is now with steampatch101. Sadly, nossao mod and lowtex mods doesn't seem to work anymore. What have you done?

anyway: applause for the improved serversearch.

I have had much time to play and it’s better but not great. Graphics are wonderful to behold but…

-Getting micro stutters on a regular basis

-Shadows around scenery vibrates

-Many, many features don’t work, i.e. trim wheels won’t turn inside many aircraft

-Loosen straps motion seems buggy

-Exterior sounds are poor…are they placeholders?

-Interior sounds are boring; everything is a click…no undercarriage sound, no wind when cockpit opens during flight, etc.

-Make controls similar to IL2 and many problems will be solved.

Do you have them running from the GUI? Are you sure? I should really not be much different from the Beta. And with this. you should not be using Kegetys mods

Just recognized (for me) disabling SSAO brings more fps than with SSAO ON.

So it seems now its working much better but i have to test it more. Dev team is going definitley the right way.

for nvidia users: a new official driver (270.61 whql) is downloadable since yesterday.
Using this driver I've got much fps over London but I must say the beta patch from last week was better for me.
i5 2500k 4ghz, 4 gb ram, gtx560ti, win7 x64
(maximum graph. settings 1920x1080)
I checked two missions: London sightseeing and free flight over France
with the last beta patch both mission was playable (min18-20fps)
with the newest official patch its a bit worse: over France and London I got less fps' than before

Hmmmm,

I assume that checking the SSAO box is turning it on, not off?

Just shot up my first plane. Would have downed him but got a lengthy freeze just as I had him. Found him just as he landed with severe damage. The screen freeze might have been the 255 ping though. Other than that it worked like a dream. Need more Aussie servers so the ping ain't so high. Awesome to be back on the multiplayer though. It was full real and no problems at all.
