Ok, I'm going to embarras myself here. I downloaded the patch, which went to my downloads folder. I opened the CoD folder and then dragged and dropped the download into it. It didn't need extracting etc. I can see the download in the list within the CoD folder. I opened the game but the version is still the old one.
I figure I'm doing something wrong. It worries me that people are saying that you 'allow' it to overwrite other files. When I drop it into the CoD folder it doesn't overwrite anything.
Does it sound like I'm doing something wrong?

Your username doesn't exactly invite confidence that this isn't a troll, but if it's not - the patch is a .rar file that needs to be extracted into your existing CloD directory, it won't do anything unless it's extracted.

Move the file somewhere else, open it with your program of choice (WinRar, 7Zip etc) and direct it to extract the files to your CloD folder. It will replace the entire 'Parts' folder, so when prompted, overwrite any older files with the new ones. Then clear your cache (find your 1C folder in documents and delete everything in the 'cache' folder) and ensure you have up-to-date .ini files, as per the post here:

Thank you mate. Much appreciated. I suppose I should change my name but couldn't think of anything else. I'm definately not a troll. Old, grey and slightly wrinkly but not a troll. I appreciate you replying to my message very much.
Kind Regards.

I got the patch going and noticed some pretty good improvements. I can now turn textures to original and buildings to very high and unlimited and its smooth 99% of the time and looks like AntiAliasing is also working again.

Still massive problems over london though even with medium for buildings.

This confuses me. I've not seen any significant increase in performance whatsoever. The last big increase in performance was the last patch with the new .ini file.

Are those of you reporting big fps increases just now updating to the new ini, or did you have it already?

Looks like an excellent patch so far, love the new specular effect on the aircraft, the bare metal shines in the weathering very nice effect.
I have at least 5 to 10 fps gained which is a massive performance boost. Low over the ground is very nice, still a few stutters but nothing like before. Markings and paintschemes now all work, there are errors to do with the sound engine but this has to be undoubtedley the BEST patch for far. I hope so much it stays this great with the offcial.
