I feel cheated too! I didn't get a Spitfire with Clipped wings and a Cannon!


Seriously, you're not going to get an indepth simulation this day and age that doesn't have a good number of bugs in it. It's just the way it is. Granted the sim was released a month or two too early - but they'll get there. Give it some time. Go fishing. Chase women. Grow your own...

I bought this sim.

Unplayable "out of the box".

After the last beta patch, I can have fun with large air battels over London, with no big performance flaws.

My rig:

Phenom X4 3.4GHz
4GB ram 800Hz
ATI HD 4850 512MB

I use 1680x1050, fullscreen, AA2x, Vsync ON, Models High, Effects High, Shadows, Grass and Roads ON. Just low the other settings, like terrain shaders, forest, etc.

The sim runs SMOOTH now!

The work solving bugs is in a good pace.

okay so umm... cant see that steam is automatically downloading patch, and i have it set to...

so i downloaded it from megaupload site, saved to desktop... do i just copy the downloaded file and paste it into steam/steamapps/common/il2cliffs of dover file

and then good to go ??

Yes, copy the folders and allow them to overwrite If you have issues, go to Steam Library, select properties and select verify integrity of cache and it will revert to the latest official patch.

From what I have seen.. a significant number of the posts are generated by people not knowing how to update the game, and the fairly complex structure under Win7 where the same fiels are stored in different locations

i pasted all files into il-2 folder,

now when i try to launch game, launcher stops working and program shuts down...so no more game




guess time to delete and reload ...

Steam will only upgrade the game to the latest release version. The beta patch requires a manual download and install as you have found out.

Once it is stable it will be put on steam as an automatic download.

Cheers!

Initially OK, but experienced screen freezes after a few minutes into some missions that were perfectly Ok with the previous beta patch. Had to lower settings to prevent freezing - rolled back to last Beta and Ok again with higher settings. Beta's applied over official update and cache cleared.

didnt know that thanks, i appreciate the replies...

there were between 70 and 80 files i put in the file il2 cliffs of dover, which caused a launcher crash....

still dont know what i did wrong ... i seemed to do what was told... maybe somebody could make a youtube video of installing a beta patch, thatd be awsome!

i was thinking since i bought from firstflight and then put it into steam to download and that technically its not released in US that steam wouldnt install patches until US release.
