can anyone help me ?

It's called a checksum, and it's a tool for ensuring that your download has not been corrupted. You can download programs to calculate md5 sums of any file on your computer, so the idea is that you download the file, calculate the MD5 sum, and then make sure it matches the MD5 sum on the server. If they don't match, your file is different from the one on the server.

You don't have to download it.

great patch
great work

The more i play this the more i see they have widened the gap between raf and lw planes. 109's just pull away now in climb dive and level flight. feels like most of my gameplay is avoiding 109's instead of fighting them like before

The spits got better with every single patch. Even energylevels an allied pilot has to be plain stupid not to win the fight if the 109 doesnt run.
Its REALLY becoming annoying folks.

PS: Maybe the 110 had HUGE energyadvantage?
And btw. I at your place would rather ask to nerf the 110 instead of boosting allied fighters - especially when you already outrun german scouts with your UFO.

I bounced the 110 and got hits on him, he dived and ran. Mid channel it was clear I couldn't catch him so he started a long turn back to England and lined me up perfectly for a 109 on comms. Good job! I was playing with mixture, pitch, everything but couldn't get faster than 265-270 at sea level in the 2a.

Winger, I am not a 'red' pilot. 109s are certainly not perfect now either. Their energy bleed is atrocious when turning, they can't dive anything near as fast as a spit (but I think the spit needs a nerf here).

I suggest that you should fly a red fighter for a night. Honestly, the overheat problems are a joke and the top speed is laughable.

Hi

I am tearing my hair out. This is what has happened so far:

Downloaded the game via steam
It worked - I could set controls and play training missions, quick missions, campaign and everything else, but was getting launcher errors and CTD's so...
Downloaded this beta patch and followed instructions to clear cache etc and isntalled....
Game ran, but when I tried to start campaign some of the options were missing- for instance I go to campaign, new, start, fly - then I get loading screen which reaches 100% and boots me to desktop, where as previously there were "loadout" options next to either "Start" or "fly" i cannot remember which, so.....
I uninstalled the game and re-installed totally vanilla and now I can't play it as the issue above is recurring, on ALL missions, training,campaign, free fly and quick, so...
I uninstalled the game, then uninstalled steam, ran CCcleaner to remove any registry entries and reinstalled both programmes and...
The exact same thing is now happening.

It doens't matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall, I now get booted to desktop every time the mission loading screen reaches 100%, and have no "loadout" options where as upon the first, original installation i was able to play, albeit with issues. I cannot find any files after unistalling that are left over that might be affecting a re-install and I've cleaned my registry with two separate PC cleaners (CCclearner and kingsoft PC doctor).

Below is my DXdiag DXdiag. I am in no way blaming the mod as I understand it changes alimited number of files and should disappear entirely once the uninstall process for the game is complete. Please note i am now not trying to use the mod in any way, I'm just trying to install the stock game on my machine.

Please help if you can. I am out of ideas!

Many thanks

Please note i cannot copy paste my dxdiag as it exceeds the max characters for a post and I cannot attach it as it exceeds the maximum size for a file attachment, which leaves me with a bit of a problem.

Thanks

Hi

DO NOT install this Beta-Patch. Steam provides you the last official version. So just let steam check your files and clear your cache... Then you should be fine...

Maybe post your system-specs... (Hardware, Operating System, etc.)

Hi

Thanks for this, didn't realise! I am re-installing the game now with a fresh install of steam. I'll post back once it's done and shout if the problem persists. I'm not optimistic though as this is the about the fourth time lol.

Cheers

Did you clear the Cache? This is very very important!

Delete everything in the folder: C:/ YOU / Documents / 1C Softclub / il2 cliffs of dover/ cache
