Quick Friday Update - Next Patch Info

[luthier]

Well since this is working for some people and not the others, perhaps the problem is the OS?

We might have done something wrong using a .zip archive this time, when we used .rar before. Some people were having trouble opening .rar, perhaps the same is going on when unzipping out of a zip? Are you guys just using Windows Explorer? Select the two folders inside the zip and copy-paste? Make sure to replace all files?

Sorry about the troubles.

Yeah running Win 7 64 bit here. First thing I tried was copy the parts and paintschemes and paste them/overwrite all into the IL-2 ClOD Directory. Then launch. Nothing happens (yellow crosshair). Now I verified game integrity with steam, it re-downloaded the last patch version and I repeated the first steps. Copy paste, but now I only copied the parts subfolders core and bob and I've overwritten those. Still no start though.. Checked megaupload and re-downloaded the ~53 mb file and still no joy..


EDIT:::

GUYS TRY THIS:

Extract the .zip archive with winrar, then copy paste. worked for me!!!

When actual mission screen loads it only opens in on the left top side of my screen!! Tried changing resolution to no avail!!

When I use a smaller resolution than native I get a smaller window during missions, the GUI is fullscreen though.

Bug report: When the game changes resolution and goes from menu to actual gameplay, the window is very small and located in the bottom left corner of my screen, also many planes and pieces appear transparent.

Yeah I'm getting this as well, half a screen of game window and the rest desktop, while the GUI/Briefings etc are fullscreen.

Seeing an overall performance drop with this patch, I was running medium textures at 1900x1200 with a steady, if not brilliant framerate of 15-20 and no stutter after the last steam patch. With this beta patch, the stutter is back in a big way, even on low texture setting, definitely to do with the groundloading - buildings, trees etc. 24ish fps (slight increase) at 5000 feet, 13-15 still at 2000 feet, but the stutter is terrible again. Guessing this might be to do with the fact that it's now running at proper fullscreen resolution, so putting more strain on the gpu?

The texture quality setting seems to have less effect than it did before too. New briefings/etc all look great though. Thanks for all your hard work chaps!

Core i5 @ 3.6g overclocked.
ATI 5770 x 2 crossfired (only single card used tho).

Same bug, any resolution smaller than my native windows size has game appear in the top left corner of the desktop, not full a screen.
