There are (for example) problems with the radio-command-sounds which cause stutters when getting loaded the frist....

So the question is: Are you still working on the other parts of the engine?

Yes, we're working. There are a lot of problems and quite possible you will be able to see result only in the sequel.

Waiting for the Readme, please. I have no info, I'm not working on CloD now.

No. We have nothing to show today.

To me this implies that the RC will be released for public(community flyers) testing before it becomes an official Steam patch.

Yes, RC will be released for public testing.

Shouldn't the person communicating with us CloD users BE working on CloD? Not that B6 hasn't done all he could, so no disrespect intended.

I am hoping the netcode is going to get fixed when the sequel is released. It is very buggy and not very efficient at all.

OK...what's a netcode and how does it differ from some of the other core compenents of the game like the graphics engine?

I think B6 wears two hats.He is a mission creator and community liaison.

I believe I read there will be no new content, only fixes for Clod it makes sense he is not working on Clod.But he is still the community liaison and does have Ilya's ear.

There will be no new content and the list of "fixes" needed wont be fully addressed either, until BoM, maby.

If they are smart or care about the success of BOM and the future of the IL2 franchise (outside of a small group of hardcore fans who will buy anything), they will use this opportunity to win back the majority of their fan base and future potential customers. Personally, I think most of the smart and really passionate developers left long ago but maybe the next patch will make me a believer again. I sincerely hope so.

Totally understand that. I am debating on which other software I need to uninstall from my hard drive to make room for the sequel now lol.

Personally I think this performance patch will also include partial fixes for many of the other issues, but not enough to make COD what it should be. We will have to wait for the Sequel to see most of these issues fixed "If" the development still uses the old business model that merged each Sequel. BUT now we have the official announcement mystery, what business model will they follow, and will it include the merging of each Sequel? They will not answer this question. Its somewhat understandable at the moment, with the yet unfinished game engine, it appears they are not sure if the development will be shut down, continue the old business model, revise it, or completely change it.

If the sequel can't be merged, CloD can only be salvaged by the community, and it really will lose 1C a lot of customers.

If the Engine is the same, I can't see any logic in not merging the two. Engine improvements to the sequel would have to affect CloD in order to keep it current.
