My specs:
CPU Intel QuadCore Q9650
Ait HD5870
4Gb RAM
Windows 7 x64

Try to delete the conf.ini it may fix the problem.It worked for me sometimes.

Thanks for the tip! However I already deleted the whole "Documents\1C Softclub" folder, so the game could generate all files again, but it didn't work.

I'll keep trying though.

The same here!!!!!!

Maybe i have something set wrong in Nvidia s settings. Wich are the best settings, or what do i have to enable or what must i disable?


CORRECTION!!!!!!

Hi W0ef,

thanks to your guide i managed to play the sim (single player mission) without any crashes. It seems that i did not set conf.ini to default at all. So i deleted it started this great sim again. Now it is working well.

I think there should be an extra topic with HOW TO INSTALL BETA PATCHES CORRECTLY!!!

Thanks once again and S!

PS: Here i want to thank you all (members too) who are supporting, testing and helping us simmers tomake this sim working at all!

I wanted to post some screen shots of flaws in the landscape over pas de calais under this patch (they may already have existed) but the screen shots didn't get saved to my \1C Soft Club\CoD\screenshots\ folder.

EDIT: Just to be clear, my screen shots did save under the \1C Soft Club\CoD\screenshots\ folder up to 28th april which was the date of the first of the two recent beta patches, i.e. the two patches released after the last Steam patch update. According to file dates and times my last screenshots were before that first beta patch download time so I think it's a problem with both the new patches.

Is this a bug or has the folder been moved?

Any hard feelings I might slowly be getting for the devs aside:

Latest Beta patch brings no significant gain in performance. More stuttering/microwarps over highly populated areas, increase the longer you fly over such areas (i.e. LeHavre, London).


Since I am also one of the few people that fly online regularly, here's a few observations:

Overall good FPS, drops over polulated areas and when the animated brown-ish dust on a landing/crahsing plane comes up.

Sound randomly completely drops when a new group of AI a/c is spawned.

Bailing out makes your plane disappear on any server running the latest beta.

Landed planes over enemy territory do not count as a kill.

Landing over enemy territory will keep your plane on ground for a long time (no despawn). Any AI AAA Gun in the area will fire at that plane and not pick up other targets.

Significant lag on a server when you leave it. You can sometimes watch from the server list screen, how your name will only be removed from the server after a couple of minutes.

I downloaded the file. Contains 3 maps mission-painschemes and parts, but no install file. So, where do i put these maps?

If you are running Windows 7 Unzip the file to your main game folder, i.e. /Steam/Steam Apps/common/il-2 cliffs of dover/. Note! Use the unzip application, like 7-zip, to do the unzipping. Don't open the archive and copy/paste, I don't know why but there have been problems for some people doing that in the past.

Extract this 3 folders (use 7-zip for guaranteed success) to the desktop and then move them to your /Steam/Steam Apps/common/il-2 cliffs of dover/ folder.
Allow overwriting.
