Old patch v1.05.15950 is now live! What to expect next.

[Col.Flanders]

For various reasons my game has been shelved for quite some time now but I must say that although I've only had a chance to do one early morning quick mission over the coast of France, the experience has been greatly improved since when I last played on my old rig. Immersion factor greatly enhanced! Good work, guys! Keep it up.

Yeah, performance is really rised for new level, good job guys.

What is weird i sometimes when playing got better performance than othertimes, if not getting 60fps, launching game again and it smooth.
Same for when chancing missions.

Overall stuttering is reduced VERY MUCH.

And those sounds...lovely! I wouldn't be able to say whether they're lifelike or not but they do sound very nice. Reminds me of IL2 of old when we could clearly hear the bullet hits and the wind rushing past -- only much better.

I have I5 750 , 4GB RAM, 460Gtx and Win7 and i wonder how anyone ever got a performace boost. I still am unable to fly without horrible performance (unplayable) and i tried to change sooo many things in BIOS, Nvidia controlpanel etc etc.

Widow, are all your drivers up to date? i´ve read somewhere that for geforce u need driver version 280+ for an actual improvement, also have u disabled unnecessary background processes? Is CloD on the exception list of any realtime anti-virus software?
btw. what type of ram are you using?

PC Spec: Intel Q6600 2.4 GHz (O/C 2.7GHz) 4Gb MHz Ram MSI N460GTX Hawk 1Gb 870core 1950Mem Vista 32 Mon 22" 1680x1050 (1440x900)

Game Settings:
Everything medium except: Forest-Low Texture-High Grass-Off Shadows-On
Roads-On All 3D graphics settings done on GPU, turn off in games graphic setting. Turn Spit/Hurri mirrors to off.

Hope this helps.. What racks me off about this sim is that my PC is well within the published spec. I'm not bothered about having waving grass/trees etc, if I'm that low to the ground, I'll join the Tank Corps.

Hi Vonte,
Your system is pretty basic for such a demanding game. With a 32bit version of Windows u are limited to how much Ram u can utilise and this game definitely benefits from 8gb of system memory or more under a 64bit windows.
I would definitely turn trees and shadows OFF as both of these will stress your graphics and eat your framerates.
You may benefit from setting Textures to medium as well.
Be careful what u let your nVidia gpu settings do as they may be trying to force settings that also are sucking up your gpu processing power. I would personally set most of them to application controlled and then set whatever want in the game settings.
Hope this helps.

Try epilepsy filter off and shadows off. Shadows still give a major fps hit which is a shame since they add so much. I think you would be CPU limited with your rig.

Edit: what Torian said...

As Launcher exe sufferer (I'm not alone), I eagerly awaited to see what the "official" 1.05 download would bring. Having listened to the Dev's and moderators telling us to wait for the update and not to judge the Sim by the Beta's. I launched the Sim with bated breath. Hooray, I've got onto a server other than Doom Island, took off over The Channel, what's that, 4 Gladiators, I shot 3 down, whoopee. What the *&%$, stutter, stutter, crash (that's the Launcher exe type). So what's happened, loads of eye candy but no progress on what is still a fundamental problem. So Luthier, do you and your Dev's actually know what the Launcher exe problem is, and if so, when is a fix coming out. I don't know why I put that last sentence in, I've never had a reply to my other posts to Luthier. And to the Smart Alec who suggested that "yesterdays" PC owners shouldn't be playing the game, I say this. "Your todays PC will tomorrows yesterday PC".

C'est la vie
