Sooo ... let's recap my experience today, after few hours on ATAG:

- fps: no increase on my machine, but they were already ok. Avg is around 28-30.
- stutter: no stutter or very very rare before; I have frequent 1 sec freezes now. Someone says that it's when a new custom skin is loaded. I cannot verify this. I had those freezes seldom also when in dogfight.
- CTD: never had one after the patch, vs. around one every 1h to 2 hours before.
- graphics: no comment as the devs have disables some gfx features for this beta. Anyway I was surprised to see that the trees shadows shimmering is sill there, despite the new gfx engine. Promised or not ...
- FM's: didn't try the red planes. The 109 seemed to climb better at high alt. The G.50 is now playable, despite the initial heating time is still very long. Once my 109 entered in an unrecoverable spin, lwhere before it was nearly impossible to spin. No change on the 110 as far as I can tell.
- sound: the only big issue before was that pesky sound radar, and it is still there. I didn't try the new Merlins. Breda Safats had a nice sound.
- ground explosions: I've noticed a shock wave on ground explosions which I'm not sure was there before. Nice.
- misc: the canopy doesn't get wet in the clouds anymore on the 109, while it still does on the G.50. Weird.

Cheers,
Insuber

Wow,
Just got back from an out of town weekend, see this patch has been released and have read most of this thread. I purchased CLOD several weeks ago, and have kind of been in a holding pattern as I knew the patch was coming. I did get all my control mappings done, so I am good to go when the time comes.

Not sure what to think after reading this thread, but I realize this is bascially an alph patch and they are hoping to get a lot more feedback I guess for areas they need to work on.
I think I will hold off until the patch is complete or at least more complete.

I do hope they get it to the level most folks here have been waiting patiently on for many months.

How long did you wait for the game to start? First time I opened the game after installing I waited for what seemed like forever, almost force stopped it but decided to make a sandwich instead. Game was up when I returned.

Since then it opens about as quick as before patch.

I read all the posts, backed up my existing install and then installed the patch.

Firstly, I should say I've never had stutters....not ever. I fly with everything on medium and only V-synch enables as I hate tearing. I rarely get a CTD either, but it does happen.

So after the patch I got improved frame rates, but not really noticeably. Sure the numbers were a bit better but without SHOW FPS I woukdn't have noticed. The AI seems better, the cockpit frame is better anti-aliased but no degrading on dials etc. I do unfortunately now have patchy land colours afar which I never had before.

I normally measure a game by how it feels, immersion, glitches and all that. I 'm not really interested in numbers, FPS, etc....just how it 'feels'. And my conclusion is that the new patch is an improvement, in the playability more so than graphics, or sound, or whatever. I simply plays better, but not by a huge amount.

In short, there is not a great deal of difference, but a slight improvement.

Having read all these posts, I feel there is so much diversity on the results. I have an OCd i5 running at about 4.5. A 560Ti with 2 GB GDR 5 ram and 8 gig mem ram on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.

The game has always ran reasonably well with all the patches and I feel embarrassingly fortunate not to have suffered what a lot of people seem to out
Sorry, I did say I short didn't I...well in short, I think this game is VeryVery pc spec dependant.....That said I hear people with better pc specs than mine are having a bad time with it which makes me think the whole graphics engine is.....temperamental.....which is a real shame.

I do hope they manage to sort it out as it's a small crime that so many are having such a bad time with Clod. It's really quite enjoyable when it works so I'm gonna go sit on the optimist fence and cross my fingers.

Have you stopped it connecting to the steam cloud?

EDIT: Sorry.... thought you meant is was inexplicably resetting to pre-patch version. lol
