How long did you wait for the game to start? First time I opened the game after installing I waited for what seemed like forever, almost force stopped it but decided to make a sandwich instead. Game was up when I returned.

Since then it opens about as quick as before patch.

I read all the posts, backed up my existing install and then installed the patch.

Firstly, I should say I've never had stutters....not ever. I fly with everything on medium and only V-synch enables as I hate tearing. I rarely get a CTD either, but it does happen.

So after the patch I got improved frame rates, but not really noticeably. Sure the numbers were a bit better but without SHOW FPS I woukdn't have noticed. The AI seems better, the cockpit frame is better anti-aliased but no degrading on dials etc. I do unfortunately now have patchy land colours afar which I never had before.

I normally measure a game by how it feels, immersion, glitches and all that. I 'm not really interested in numbers, FPS, etc....just how it 'feels'. And my conclusion is that the new patch is an improvement, in the playability more so than graphics, or sound, or whatever. I simply plays better, but not by a huge amount.

In short, there is not a great deal of difference, but a slight improvement.

Having read all these posts, I feel there is so much diversity on the results. I have an OCd i5 running at about 4.5. A 560Ti with 2 GB GDR 5 ram and 8 gig mem ram on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.

The game has always ran reasonably well with all the patches and I feel embarrassingly fortunate not to have suffered what a lot of people seem to out
Sorry, I did say I short didn't I...well in short, I think this game is VeryVery pc spec dependant.....That said I hear people with better pc specs than mine are having a bad time with it which makes me think the whole graphics engine is.....temperamental.....which is a real shame.

I do hope they manage to sort it out as it's a small crime that so many are having such a bad time with Clod. It's really quite enjoyable when it works so I'm gonna go sit on the optimist fence and cross my fingers.

i wait a bit, then steam regenerate cache, then plain logo start, the screen go to black (like if launcher would start) and back to the desktop.

Have you stopped it connecting to the steam cloud?

EDIT: Sorry.... thought you meant is was inexplicably resetting to pre-patch version. lol

Try switching to windowed mode (in conf.ini). Start in windowed mode. Select fullscreen mode, restart game.

+1 thats what i did and worked

Whats with all this "remember guys this is an alpha patch "bull crap coming from, Blacksix as stated many times that the very reason us suckers have had to wait so long for this 'patch' is that they wanted it to be a proper finished patch and then let us have a beta, not wanting to be seen as team that makes half finished patches. So who is talking bollocks here, is it BlackSix or all you disciples who keep telling us that its an Alpha patch?

Or perhaps the problems go beyond their testing capabilities, and releasing an alpha patch expands the data collecting capabilities to be able to better squash bugs... right now its going to be how fast they turn out new versions of this patch with the collected data... or just keep thinking their ultimate plan is to turn out a crap game because that will enable them to sell more games in the future much better... lol... come on...
