OLD BETA patch 14413 - May 4, 2011(!!!) - do not install!

[palker4]

Aprart from random crashes a random times without any reason or instafreez of the game when creating group in multiplayer i have one new issue with the game. When i fly exteded period of time my screen will freeze but sound still renders properly i can hear engine response to control inputs aswell as i can hear proper sounds when switching views or firing guns. It looks like game is running but Gpu just sotps rendering it and i have to quit it from task manager.
I have not noticed any performance improvements but thats most likely becouse i cannot run the game for 15 minutes without a crash and most of those 15 minutes i usually spend on restoring my aircraft configurations or controls because they will not save when the game crashes

I think if 1c is structured like most other companies, then they will have different teams working on different aspects of the game.
I highly doubt the whole CoD development team is looking at game performance only.

But I agree it's annoying to have minor cosmetic changes few would immediately notice when things like pixellated rear view mirrors are staring you in the face.

Guys excuse me I 'm sorry but having a momentary lapse of memory
I have to un-rar the files WHERE?

Sturmovick folder on C:/Steam/etc/etc

or

1cSoft Club in Mydocuments?

It is embarassing but I can't remember, probably too tired this week, sorry again.

Heya Conte,

This is how I would go at installing this patch:

1) Open steam, go to library, right click Cliffs of Dover, Select Properties and go to Local Files tab, click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache and let it run and download in order to make sure your copy is "clean" and updated to the latest official patch.

2) Go to \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache\ and delete everything in the main folder, keep the shaders folder but delete everything inside.

3) If you want to be sure your conf.ini is set to default just delete it in \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ and it should make a new one next time you start up the game, you have to set your video settings again first time you start the game.

4) Download the latest patch and extract it to your desktop, then cut and paste all folders to \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ selecting yes on any request to overwrite and copy and replace otherwise.

5) For ATI users go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI\ and rename the intro.wmv to something different or just delete it, just be careful as it might affect VAC cheat protection in the future when playing online, so far there seems to be no problem to do this though.

Pure speculation on our parts but if so.. Exactly.. Re-asign all resources to "making the game function" may be a good idea.. Getting 4 new items that actually work into a weekly patch rather than a bi or tri weekly patch with 2 out of 40 items listed in the patch notes actually functioning.

I'll stop here though. Just needed to voice the ol frustrations. And again, only frustrated due to the desire to see this sim do well. I bought a whole new rig for it I love it so much.

I agree they need to get the game functioning, but we have to remember these are beta patches so even if they throw 3 or 4 out a week it doesnt matter as long as they get some decent improvements into the steam release patch, only people that should really bother installing these beta patches are those that have the time or can be bothered to do some testing, of course I'm no different than most, and I just install as they come out, at least you can always back out to the last official patch and then install your beta of choice if you feel like it.

Have no problems running the current "real" version and haven't tried a beta patch yet but glad I haven't cosidering that we're now going to Beta Beta Beta Beta patch. Or is this Beta Beta Beta? I'm loosing track.

C'mon guys what seems to be the problem? I hope you can get the basics running on everyones rigs soon so people can atleast enjoy the game. Then updates become bonuses!!

I quote all I found many other problems with this patch!
