You don't want the line in your config file, that line means you are using an old version of the config.ini file.

then where do I get a new config?!? :/

disable steam cloud and reinstall.... then everything is set to default...

[Anders_And]

What I did to reinstall:

First I disabled Steam Cloud Sync (I did it for all games, but it will probably work if you only do it on CloD).

Next I went into 'My Documents' folder and renamed the '1C SoftClub' folder so when I reinstall all the files are replaced (you can do this without reinstalling as well and the game will rebuild the directory. ) All your config files (the hours you spent configuring your controller) are in this directory so you don't want to lose these files.

Next, (In Steam) right click on CloD in the Steam library menu and select "Delete Local Content".


Then select 'Delete'.


Wait a while....

Close Steam.

(I rebooted my computer, but it may not have been necessary).

At this point, start Steam and double check that your steam cloud is still disabled.

In Steam, right click on 'CloD' in the library menu and select 'Install Game' (in the right pane)


Steam is going to re-download everything (so if you have limited bandwidth maybe you should try a different fix first!!!)
Hopefully That did it!


Install Problems After Uninstall: (I'm afraid you may need to do this if you don't see the game in the Steam Library, RickRuski...)
If you are having install problems after uninstalling you can delete 'ClientRegistry.blob' from the main Steam directory (while Steam is not running). https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7241-EYON-2343

This will force a re-validation of Steam so you will need access to the email you used with Steam as you will have to re-validate the account!!!!

I've tried it all ways with my system. After applying the patch I had the ProcessAffintyMask line applied in the rts section. After reading this thread I commented it out (no difference) then I removed the line all together (again no difference). So do we need it or not???

I have not found any improvements with my system at all with the patch as a lot of others have (some have even found things worse). Looks like the team still has a lot of work to do. It will be interesting to see what their annalysis of the different results are, as all of us were hoping for the improvements that they were talking about. The improvements certainly haven't happened for a big percentage of us.

Correct, the affinity mask setting was removed from conf.ini along with a lot of other left-over parameters from the development phase. It was a few patches back, somewhere around May.

I think Luthiers FAQ needs to be updated... Number 11 in particular.

I did my duty, tried the Alpha patch, gave up after 2 days of problems, sent in my logs and dumps, and now uninstalled the patched version going back to official on Steam...
I appreciate all the help and info given her,e,
even though some of the disappointment came through from me, I appreciate the effort of all to make COD work.. but I can't help anymore,,

I await a better patch.. hopefully in reasonable amount of time... whatever that is..

thanx,

[RickRuski]

OK, thanks for that Von. Have left PAM deleted.

just for clarification.
do I need to set the process affinity mask in the conf ini or is the game handling the cores automatically?
If I do need to set them up how to do it?

In IL-2 it is supposed to goe in the [rts] section of the conf.ini.
i.e. Dualcore:
[rts]
ProcessAffinityMask=3
