Can I ask a stupid question? What is a memory leak? Plus how is it effecting COD? Two questions then.

the game is putting stuff in your PCs memory till its 'full' and your game is stopp running because it does not overwright the old stuff.

this is happening very different for every users PC. This was 'introduced' with the last patch.



I personaly wondering why 1C deos not use the big benefit of STEAM and is releasing small patches with lesser fixes (not that there are none ). Sure, it would need that someone is working on these smaller things.
As examples
Bf110 canons
Ju88/Blenheim bombbaydoors
Ju88/BR20 compassystem
Gunnerhandling

even FM/DM/CEM fixes for several planes are still worked over i hope.....


This focus on the "mother of all patches" is propably not the best decission for their reputation IMHO

the reason they are making a 'mother' patch is because the code for the whole graphics engine is being re-written, this would make small hotfix patches useless once the new engine is done which is a massive waste of time and resource, this has been extensively discussed.

It is also possible that the memory leak is gfx engine related and does not exist in the new code, but that we wont know until it's released.

so, as example, the opening of a bombbaydoor or a canon change in a plane are graphicengine related ?
strange, but than.......ok, lets wait.

every small patch they make will take time away from making the big fix which will address the important issues like optimization, CTD's, frame rates etc, these are the issues that affect larger groups, individual prefferences can have no priority in deciding what to patch.

I seem to be one of the very fortunate with this sim. I don't have any real problems at all.

Appart from the first release (unplayable) it's the same for me, very playable on max settings and I only have a 1gb video card
