Hi All

Report of the test on my system.

This one makes me remember the last official patch, that's good, because was the last playble.

Good FPS, and the CTD's after quit SP & MP missions had gonne.

But, the some problems remain rigth from the begin. The visual options menu don't work or is mistake (I have to exit the game and enter again to change make effect).

Stuttening, same as the last oficial patch ( thats must better than the last pair of beta pacth). But I think that's understable, a very big map with tonnes of detail loaded on a few seconds. So it keep loading objects as you fly. A good turn around here is to set trees to very low and I always use building set to Unlimited, seems less popon loading, so less stuttening.

Remains impossible to collide with the trees.

Didn't try MP yet.

Regards

Did you notice that the spitfire guns are now nearly inaudible with canopy open? Whereas you can hear them damped with canopy closed? was it allready in the recent beta? Nevermind it sounds pretty realistic!!
No crashes or whatsoever... allthough I dont have crashes since the last beta
Performance seems to be improved as well, quite happy so far.

Which He-111? The P or the H? The reason i'm asking is that the compass graphics in the He-111P have been reversed for quite some time now, while the H was working just fine.

I tried it in the 88 and even though i did a very sloppy run because i was in a hurry to go bar crawling with friends ( ), i'd say doing it by the book works ok.

P.S. Just saw you did your share of testing and you also deduct it works. Good times ahead

Does anyone know if this patch gives support to DX9? As it turns out, my laptop can't do the more modern DX's on this game, so I had to reduce to DX9, and usually got around 10-15fps.

Don't want to reinstall the whole thing in vain

Thanks!

One Step forward

Hi

Sorry to sound like a complete and utter tool but, I can't work out how you install the patch. I know most people these days don't need help with this sort of thing but I appear to be a little backward.

Firstly I read the stuff relating to the previous patch (1.7) and the suggestion that an "integrity check" be done before the patch is installed, to get back to the last official version.

That's fine but I can't seem to find where that can be done. This is all the more irritating because I think I stumbled upon this feature at one stage. Would someone please point me in the right direction. Instructions can't be too detailed.

Secondly, I'm having trouble working out what the correct destination path should be for the patch. My game is in my C: Program Files (x86) drive (thingy) so would I be right to assume that the full destination path should be:
C: Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover

Does that sound right??

Thanks

hey lonewulf...
go to steam, right click on your game,go to properties, then local files(then you can do your integrity check.
after this, you will have again the last official steam version.
download the patch, and extract the files to the path you already mentioned with a program like 7zip.
