'Steam -warning'
"!" Steam was unable to sync your files for IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover with the Steam Cloud.

If you have played this game from another computer, your game settings and/or progress may not be in sync with what is stored in Cloud. If you play the game now, you may lose these changes in progress.

'Play game' (button) 'Cancel' (button)

Is this a threat!?! Is STEAM purposely reducing our FPS because we haven't gone 'online' and 'synced' with them?

Ilya, 'Cloud' is an interesting 'marketing phenomenon' coupled with our very friendly people at STEAM. You may think you have saved 'time, security and money' by signing-up with these companies. I am starting to feel you have made a big mistake!

DON'T BREAK WHAT YOU ALREADY HAD SUCCESSFULLY WITH IL-2 STURMOVIK

I don't think Steam has anything to do with FPS.

Sounds like your PC couldn't connect to Steam Cloud to check and upload any personal settings changes made on another PC. Of course you may not have made any, or even used another PC, and it may be just a standard worded Steam message to let you know it can't connect. I assume you checked your internet connection is ok?

You can disable the Cloud setting if you are happy not to use another PC to play or happy that any changes elsewhere won't get fed back to your main PC. Many of us have done that (it's a synchronisation thing, nothing to do with Steam updates).

Open Steam and go to Library.
Right click on CoD and select Properties.
Select the Updates Tab.
Under 'Steam Cloud' untick 'Enable Steam Cloud synchronisation for IL-2 Cliffs of Dover'
Close

You'll see on that Tab that there is a separate selection for Automatic Updates so you haven't affected that. Leave that on 'Always keep this game up to date' unless you have a reason not to.

It doesn't answer why you got that message so if your internet connection was ok it must be something else and that's where I have to drop out.
