Testing, testing, testing?
I have been working on a 'German campaign' today in the FMB (offline) featuring III/JG26 (its Sunday and its raining in OZ).
Every time I had a break and left the game, when coming back, I got the following 'very friendly' message from our 'very helpful' friends at 'STEAM"!?! '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 DFLion |

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.

After a longer break I gave CloD another try. I didn't even get to test the fps over land and cities, I hit exit right after watching the stupid UFO AI do 50-60 barrel rolls. I still feel robbed. drop me a line when it's playable.
...I was so looking forward to this game

Which is perhaps that in MP the map builders make fighters behave like bombers or novices ...

But yeah, missions just aren't as fun as they could be. The AI I'm afraid is just junk. It's not even just the endless barrel rolls (actually, they're just plain old rolls) but the idiotic endless vertical maneuvers to the point of stalling, as well as having no sense of distance...the AI often just plows right into enemy planes, or worse yet, planes on it's own side. It's just sapping the fun out of the game. Ugh. |

Forrest is the performance killer
Dear gentz
i made today again tests regarding my FPS, as i overclocked my core. I clocked my 920 from 3.01 to 3.99Ghz. At 3.01 i had 32max fps (all middle,not noticing stutters as i wasnt really able to fly over land, or had other problems in performance) At 3.99mhz my FPS was throughout 60fps (vsync on),but i noticed stutters on land, as soon as trees came into my sight. I then lowered wood from high to middle -> still stutters (60fps)! I then lowered wood from middle to off ->no stutters (60fps)! I can fly over London or LeHavre without any stutters or FPS drops (buildings on unlimited). In my opinion the trees causing the problems atm regarding perfomance. |
