BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012

Nah, I'm still going to wait until the game is officially patched up and I read that most people are satisfied.

I'm sure the developers know there are a bunch of folks cash in hand, waiting for that to happen, and I'm sure they are doing the best they can, knowing that there is new money out there for the taking.

I feel bad for all the early buyers out there who have been waiting so long.

Welp. Time to uninstall this turkey from my HD. My patience has run out. This patch is a joke.

I've wasted 50 bucks on plenty of games that were awful. I never thought I would feel that way with a sim in the IL-2 bloodline.

I was wrong.

Can you read (first side):
The main purpose of the alpha is to find and squash any remaining or new bugs, especially crash bugs. The most common of the infamous launcher crashes have been fixed, but a few very hard to catch bugs remain. On average, a full day of flying causes about 0.8 crashes, and our internal testing has not yet provided the crash logs needed to zero in on the issue.

If you don't like to test you should not install the patch and wait for the regular update.

I think it is first time in gaming industry when the customers were given PUBLIC AND OPEN ALPHA .... PATCH of their game and developers called it BETA PATCH v1.06.17582

Guys, dont make fools from yourselves please. IF they produced ALPHA PATCH, why they didn't test it with chosen group of community members before they go with it to the public? Or did they do it? If yes, it is not alpha anymore. Alpha is always internal and secret - just because so many bugs are there and of course main features are missing. But this is Russia, so maybe project management of software development is different there.

Had to work today so still not given it a really good go. General impression is good. Seems much smoother although no massive increase in fps but I can fly quite happily with everything on maximum except for texture quality which is high rather than original. Maybe it is my imagination but it generally seems to 'look' better except in one respect and that is that the resolution of the external skins seem to be much lower. I cannot read the text on the wings of Spits and 109s whereas in pre-patch screen shots it is perfectly legible. I wonder if a bit of such down grading along with lack of clouds accounts for some of the increase in fps they are claiming. Also I have no cloud shadows on the ground.

If the core usage has been optimized for multicore CPUs have the people getting worse performance checked that this is working correctly on their systems? Just a thought.

If the patch has fixed the main instability issues then I think that is the main thing as the rest is still being worked on. It is just a shame it is not a complete fix for everyone yet.

Onwards and upwards.

For offline players this sim completly sucks after the patch. I don't see how anyone thinks it ROCKS. There are so many bugs, they are too many to mention.
