Have not run the patch yet, however, I'll probably wait till its "improved". I've had the same problem with my 3gig 580 before the patch...landing fps at 3/4 and when your guns hit planes in front of you..fps drops 40%. Basically particle effect issues. So the patch doesn't look like its solved those, and alpha testing is just not for me. Thanks for the hard work, hopefully it will bear real fruit one day, I just dont think that day is today.

Six months for this? the comunity found more bugs now that you developers could find in all this time??

I think they dont know what to do, please hand over the game to another company or release the sdk and everything to the comunity, im sure there are a lot of talented people who can save this sim.

Ok so I extracted the patch into Steam /Common /il2cliffs folder and clicked over write all files . Meanwhile when I start it up in the top right hand screen it stills says 1.05.15950 . What am I doing wrong?

Check folder paths and copy folder by folder to appropriate locations again.

Ok I extracted Bob and Core seperatley into their folders . hopefully that works. Edit : Nope that didn't work either . DamBit ! Are you telling me that everyone on this sight installing the patch is extracting every folder sereatley into all their respective folders ? Am I doing the right thing by selecting over write files?

S!

Pencon, simpliest way is just to extract the package then COPY the PARTS folder that appears and drop it in the IL-2 Folder under STEAM Works.

You open archive and open game folder. Then you check folder names to see where which folder is located inside game folder. Then merge folders inside game folder with folders from the archive by dropping the latest to the game folder.

Good improvement for me, now FPS drops to about 20 only over London, but it is playable.
The game is finally fixed for me. Now it needs more content...

You mean I have to extract every single file and folder from the patch to the game folder files seperately? You'd think they could make it a little more simple for us noobs. I know I'm gonna screw this up . Black 6's instructions on page 1 says "Just install into the mainfolder , he doesn't say extract every folder seperately .. This is pretty confusing .....
