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.

now, THIS is an update, and a rather honest and realistic one.

thank you!

PS: I would prefer though that you would stop to keep pushing the "an aicraft alone it takes us one year" relative truth. Actually, building an aicraft up to IL2CoD standards it might take even 15-20 years to make, IF you're talking about how long it would take to a new born baby to do it. But for the 2012 game developing industry standard average modeller, it should't actually take more than a couple of months.
