Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover Retail Patch v 1.01.14550

[Gollum]

My game was working flawlessly until this patch. Now it appears i have stutters around planes and cities and that my anti alaising doesnt work at all. Friend with same OS reported huge black triangle followong head movement and repoted my plane disapearing and reapearing in formation flight online. Glad for all who see improvement but this patch gave me problems for the first time ever since playing this game. Last official patch worked perfect for me. luthier tried helping but initial response was that i shouldnt be having problems with my rig on current seetings so im a bit worried.

For f*k sake!..

Ive been calm about the Cod situation lately and have to admitt i was a bit hot headed at first regarding this game so apologies to anyone i pi$$ed off.

But seriously what the f*k have they done in regards to this patch?... they have fixed NOTHING that was stated and this is a retail patch..ive only used 1 beta patch as that was the most beneficial one for me so ive been waiting a long time for this patch to iron out some performance issues but for me the GUI and multiplayer experience were the important ones..(for now) FM/DM's etc can come later in patches as my game runs okay on max settings since ive UPGRADED my machine.

This patch has done none of the above..it has literely gave me another version number..i have yet to actually play the game so it better not be worse or unplayable now..

this whole thing is just taking the pi$$ now...I just cant actually believe they released a 'retail' patch that has done absolutely nothing for my game as far as what was important to me and my setup and from which was stated as 'now fixed'..

Dear 1C,

I run one of the stable servers in your multiplayer list, but now due to your new patch can not play on my OWN system.

Yours Faithfully

My game was working flawlessly until this patch. Now it appears i have stutters around planes and cities and that my anti alaising doesnt work at all. Friend with same OS reported huge black triangle following head movement while in spitfire and repoted my plane disapearing and reapearing in distance online due to anti alaising. Also reporting 20 FPS drop from steady 60 to 40 and below. Glad for all who see improvement but this patch gave me problems for the first time ever since playing this game. Last official patch worked perfect for me. luthier tried helping but initial response was that i shouldnt be having problems with my rig on current seetings so im a bit worried. Specs and setting recommended by big Luth below:

Full screen
All settings on high
8X AA
no Anti E filter
V sync on
and that SAAO thing was on
no Crossfire

Asus P8P67 Motherboard
I7 Processor 3.4 GH not overclocked yet
2X ASUS 6950 (not linked yet) waiting for game to support it properly
2 solid state hard drives raided (game installed here)
1 terrabite hard drive (nothing on it yet)
8 gigs ripjawx ddr3 ram
mega cooling heat sink to overclock processer when required.
OH, and windows 7 ultimate

I had that issue pre-patch in the SP mission where you take your totty up for an evening flight in the spitfire towards the end of the British campaign.

The problem was caused by my initial viewpoint being inside the pilot models head. I had to SHIFT+F1 to switch through the views so I could see where I was going.

Switching to an external view and then back to cockpit view caused the same problem and I had to SHIFT+F1 again to correct.

Maybe it is the same problem for your friend?

To add to this I also tried Pseudo full screen with same settings and it is worse than full screen.

I also get the "windows color box error" now that others have reported. Not sure what this is.

Now ive played it im sorry if i came across a bit annoyed as i can now have a different skin on a 109 when flying online...oh and i start with a spitfire now instead of the Anton everytime i goto plane option.

Well now thats sorted i can relax and enjoy my flying experience :S

Have not posted previously as a result of patches as the video card I have is not great and is not listed as supported. Also did not try beta patches for same reason.

Interestingly the update this time seemed to make things a little worse. A series of quite noticable pauses which were definatley not like that previously - it may be others refer to a stutters - I don't know. However, I deleted 1C dir and then verified game in Steam. It came back to being smoother much like it was maybe better. Which was never great but then Vid card not good either)- and this is over London.

Only problem now is I did not save config so I am starting over amd need to remember how to get FPS back.

Just thought that others may benefit from similar actions.

Cheers

So u complain about the patch before u tried it?........ooooook.


2 things u can do:

1. Try it BEFORE u report buggs.

2. Wait a day, so everyone have tested it more than 5 min BEFORE reporting buggs based on other peoples problems.



Ex. Many reports decrease in fps. Maby they forgot that Luthier stated that real full screen mode takes more out of thire system than psudo full screen. They now enable it since it was fixed it, hence lower fps. (if his statement still holds true, that is). either way, not a "bugg".
