To be fair the latest patch introduced the memory leak for a lot of users causing lock ups,
but Steam also seems to have a problem holding the servers up for any length of time,
not sure how the net stats are for the popular ones, but they should be able to confirm server failure/restart figures due to steam or the server.

Clod is the only thing I use on Steam.However I have not seen or read of any other game servers besides Clod continuously going offline.

I am well aware of the memory leaks but i am also well aware of the disconnect that comes from steam that results in the "lost connection with steam server shutting down" and when you check the STEAM! logs not the games logs you will see a message saying "disconnected by remote host"...im just amazed they have not looked into it.

next time you start a server start steam first from a CMD window with the following arguments and see if the steam logs give you any useful info.
steam.exe -lognetapi -noasync

the noasync will get rid of alot of the disconnect/reconnect garbage in the steam log file and the lognetapi will show all P2P activity.

S!

Updated known issues:

Known issues found during open betatest:
* Do not change mission name and description in hosting mode
* Autostart also steam in dedicated server autostart mode
* Game cannot connect the server and timeout (UNCONFIRMED/CLOSED)
* Game cannot detect steam and exit with message "Steam must be running to play IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of dover. Please launch Steam and try again." (UNCONFIRMED/CLOSED)
* Switching Steam cloud storage off user may lost control settings. Solution is backup/restore control settings via the game interface. (GAME FEATURE, NOT HL FAILURE)

I think there is anything more i can do so release will be published soon.

think about this,what does il2 1946 have that Cliffs of Dover dont??A meeting place!!!A community where pilots can talk, chat, and compare fps,settings,etc..If i dont see pilots in servers just like most are saying here.i either play single player or join the most populated one i can find and usually will fly for a bit, get bored and move on to another game.CloD does NOT have a meeting place!!
Il2 would NOT have survived 10 years without it.1st we had UBI lobby wich was an ok starting point for muiltyplayer experience.Then one day I found Hyperlobby and never looked back, not even once.In my opinion and this is "just" my opinion with all the support that HL has with the community CloD would be far more advanced and fixed and a lot more players if everyone would use a lobby or meeting place such as HL.Am i trying to endorse Hyperlobby? Yes i am.Lets give credit where it is due.Il2 would not have survived this long with out a community.Cliffs of Dover NEVER should have went with "Steam"...It "should" have went to the place where it belongs with a more dedicated community.And i am NOT just saying this because of myself being part of HL staff. "CloD" should have had hyperlobby on the box cover NOT steam.What it all comes down to is that CloD needs more than just a "server" list.it needs friends a common meeting ground, a place to thrive!


can i get an Amen??
