Quick Friday Update - Next Patch Info

[ReconNZ]

Thanks Luthier! Loving the Patch as always -

Couple of weird bugs though

- when i click fly, game disappears back to desktop, where i cant even see that clod is running on the task bar, just for 1 second, then game returns again and i'm in the cockpit, likewise when flying if i press escape, i go back to desktop briefly before returning to the game menu.

- Game now wont let me alt-tab out to desktop properly, it seems to stay running as well as what i alt tab to! -ie right now as im typing this post i can see my track IR is still working and im still technically in game - ie everytime i press the "p" button here in the browser to type this, my game unpauses! - weird Im in two programs at once! All my keystrokes are still working in game!

- New Player briefing screen is great before the missions - well done! The player plane loadout is great also, it sadly doesnt work though, whatever you enter doesnt register and you get the default settings for that mission anyway - great start though

- Stutters over land seem to have improved again which is brilliant!

- Multiplayer lobby - still no way to see who's on what team before you select a side.

Specs -

i5 2500 SandyBridge - 8GB RAM
ATI 4870
1920x200 @60Hz
Full Screen
TRACK IR 5

Settings pretty much on medium, no SSAO, no Vsync, no AA

The game still does not use more than 25% of the CPU, which I believe is the main hinderance to performance.

My perfromance is also cut into half with the new beta patch. The perfromance increase by the last offical patch is totally gone.

Thank you 1C for kicking in the Vsync... when @ 60 fps, she is as smooth as a baby's behind - buildings and all. Buildings though, still sutter when loading

not too much of a FPS hit with AA x 4, which for the most appears to still work

Thanks for plane option screen/ briefing when going into quick mission... but how to get the selected and customised plane to stick? (won't take until exiting QM and going back in, albeit minus customisation)


still need to look at the pre-load/ cache setup as some controlpositions/ video/ console settings are still a bit funky going from one QM to the next QM

In my WinXP PC the latest patch seems to perform similarly. Frame rates are probably lower, but more steady. Or: earlier the game was sometimes very smooth and then you got stutters. Now above buildings I get steady lower FPS.

Above Le Havre harbour area my FPS is 5-10. Once I move above the city area where no water is shown, FPS is 40-50. This while using external view.

Tried joining an online server: started the engine and then the whole computer froze so I had to reboot.

The game still does not clock up certain ATI cards to full 3D clock speeds. Full-screen mode has changed nothing.

There is a significant amount of users who are affected by this, most of them aren't even aware that their poor performance is due to this bug.

I'd like to know what this is only effecting SOME ATI users... what settings/hardware/drivers are you using?

This new patch has made me rage quit.

Whenever I change from game menu to flying , the screen will minimize then change the resolutions .. and screw up all the aspect ratio . Alt Tabbing messes things up too.

How awesome. Had a bit of trouble at first. Wouldn't load but then changed the zip file properties to 'unblock'. Started game and got a blank screen. Pressed alt tab delete and the screen came up with task manager. exited task manager and it's been awesome ever since. More single player missions. More stuff on Multiplayer and it runs really well. Only hiccups I get now is when AI voices speak. If I can turn them off I reckon it'll be spot on. Who needs to hear 'Tally Ho' anyway.

Force feedback... Whoppeee!
Seems to work fine and to be about on par with IL2-1946, which is quite
adequate until the more pressing bugs and glitches have been fixed.
Excellent job guys!


Problem 1:
I on occation I see the same graphics glitch as reported by "GOA_Potenz" as well.

Problem 2:
Another bug seems to be that the setting:
ChangeScreenRes=1
doesn't seem to work... but instead acts as
ChangeScreenRes=0
...which means I must run in native mode(1920x1080) which puts me at about
20-30 fps over water. If I lower the screen resolution, the game is rendered
in the top left corner of the screen, leaving windows visible at the bottom
and left parts of the screen.
