I have blown up oil storage tanks at Calais with a Spitfire and also Bf110 since the patch online.

I did a simple test, just start the game, choose a server and connect. Select a side (red or blue). Start the task manager (control+alt+canc) or right click on the taskbar and select task manager from the context menu. If you look at the launcher.exe you see it jump from 500 mb to over 1 gb then drop again at 500mb, but the game with pre-patch don't do this. Can somebody confirm it? I think this is the problems I have online with alot of stutters and freezes, FPS dropping at 1 sec. (yes, 1 FPS)

ive just done a couple of quick tests and noticed something too , been having low fps myself so i decided to start the game direct from the launcher.exe from the game folder and now my fps are much better , i even thought my Xfire was working but when i checked that its not , only 17% max on second GPU .

ive deleted the old icon off the desktop and created a shortcut to the launcher.exe , much better now .

Dude, i think you might be on to something here.
I gave it a try myself, with the old desktop icon, and launching from the game itself and trying out online. i watched the memory in the task manager, with the old icon, would work with 1,400,000k+ of memory when entering into the server, crashing, locking up, C++ errors, then starting from the launcher.exe in the cliffs folder it was running at around 900,000k memory usage, hasnt crashed on entry into the server, no lockup, no errors. Ill try it for a bit longer but looks to be helping me thanks for the heads up welsh

I am not disputing your findings as I haven't tried this yet (at work atm) but I am curious as to how this could work.

Isn't the desktop icon just a link to the .exe in the IL2 CoD folder ?

Sry Albx, havent got time to test it right now but you could be right...a lot of people are having these stutters now when a lot of things are happening around them...its similar to what we had at the start

hhmmm... I don't know really how was at the start because I got the game just when the latest patch was released, but it is very bad, not noticeble offline, but online it's just impossible to fly after some minutes.
