IL-2 Cliffs of Dover Cliffs of Dover Optimization and Performance Thread

Ok, I'll give it a whirl again...

[Pudfark]

Thanx SlipBall, I must of been a dab frustrated before...that fixed it.

Ok, here are my results:

AVG = 33

MAX = 75

MIN = 5

I appreciate the help guys....

My bad yet again.....had vsync on and aa off.

I think under general settings look for console assign key or keys.

fps START SHOW
fps STOP SHOW

I just did testings ill post them in a few. There is a memory leak STILL 1C. The fps drop is a major problem that has been a problem since day one and I'm sure will never be fixed, caused by the explosions.

Ok...I did figure out that part on the console.
Any thoughts on video configuration...pretty much have everything on
low and medium. I have read a few threads that posters have stated,
a few things should be set to high? Maybe, probably, I'm wrong, but...
I just think/believe that I should be able to swing "higher" settings?

Do my results reflect the capabilities of my "system"?
Should I consider? Higher instead of Lower settings?

Did you see my results with my system specs? I does not matter how strong your hardware is there game engine is not optimized. Maybe all settings low and a few medium if you don't want the horrid fps drop when explosions go off, etc...

You just have to test out different settings.

Roger that Broken Pixel......Thank You for your efforts.
I did note that you have a better Vcard.....

Like some others....and sixteen months later....I'm about to
park this sim. It's really been a disappointing experience.

Thanx Everybody

I uninstalled the latest beta patch and reverted back to the official steam version and then ran some tests. "Black Death Track"

I set everything as high as it would go and 2xaa, no epi filter and no ssao.
I got:

AVG = 26 MAX = 70 MIN = 5

I then repeated the same test, except no grass selected.
I got:

AVG = 21 MAX = 72 MIN = 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This just makes no sense to me. I would have thought that the "no grass"
results would have bettered the first results. Fork me, I'm done.

It's time for me to step away for awhile.... Thanx Everybody and Good Luck

Tha min 0 is because you have fps START SHOW twice or it will say zero. Give her another go. Well at least we can spend quality time analyzing there engine with different hardware configs.

I really don't think I can build a much better computer than I already have. The game engine is jacked and whom ever coded the engine needs to revisit the Dev school again. What happend to the damn optimizers and testers? A public Alpha would of saved this game, I mean one that was released before the retail copies hit the market.

RIP IL2 COD Best of luck on the Russian Front with the same game engine.
