BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012

[Luftwaffepilot]

I can't understand how a patch (no matter if beta or even alpha) with a rewritten graphics engine can show the same issues (CTDs, stutters (caused by clouds, grass, particles, ...)) like before the so highly praised "major graphics rewrite". This sim is not showing any progress.

I dont get those anymore... I hope you are uploading your crash logs.

My performance is smooth flying over London, I flew online for some time with no CTD. So not every system is equal, so make sure you are giving them the info they need...

Yes same old story over and over - it is problem of people, or their HW, SW, location of PC in the room (your chair position should point to Moscow)... whatever...

To whom, for Christ's sake, Luthier wants to sell next sequel?

Without doubt to mature, responsible fans who report bugs with crash-logs or who have no problems at all.

After all that is the reason for a alpha, finding bugs!

I left the game running unattended for 3 h, online, no CTD so far.

Not good enough Insuber,

My tests with the previous patch showed that the memory leak happens slowly while my airplane flies over new ground territory - new airplanes and while I zoom-in/ zoom-out.

Depending on the situation [never managed to understand when] the PC-RAM will increase [and afterwards decrease] or, it will increase and stay increased.

Therefore, if you leave the plane flying over the same path (loop a recording) or parked on the ground, it is unprobable that the memory leak will occur.

My 2cents - sorry for being a spoiler...

Grathos, I know I had extensive experience of CTD's, sometimes they occurred even with the plane parked on the ground, I saw the RAM filling up until some 80%, and then booom! The PC exploded ... no just kidding, it only froze and had to ctrl-alt-del.

Anyway I flew for a couple of hours w/o CTD's.

Cheers!

I would agree with you, Robtek.... if I was seeing any evidence of an Alpha patch! All I am seeing is evidence of them switching off the things that cause the problems..... a new explosion effect and some sounds is not a patch... it's a mod.

They said the engine wouldnt look different, but the "under the bonnet" stuff has been rewritten. My performance and stuttering fixes suggests that. Its far from perfect, but there are differences. They said the patch was a rewrite, not a change. Its the same textures etc just loaded differently.

Gotta say I'm not likin the new mega slow spitfire "improvement" How were they better again?
