Found some more evidence of the weapon being used against us! :-P

It seems the dark energy emenants from a locomotive platform!

The dark energy was connected to the locomotive and obscured vision only. Effects of flying though it were harmless.

I was getting the same thing yesterday.

Wow - that's quite the graphic anomaly there.

I'm wondering if it's an ATI issue, similar to what we had before with the blue line problem.

I have yet to see that graphics problem. Does anyone with a Nvidia card get it as well?

Bliss,

do you know a shortcut to directly connect to the ATAG server which I could add to the launcher.exe command line? (I do not start CoD through Steam).

~S~

I don't know how to do it through the launcher properties (I imagine there's a way though). The 1st time you use the link below it will ask you for the program to use it with. The 1st selection that shows up should be steam.

steam://connect/216.52.148.29:27016

There's a link to this called "Direct Connect" at the top of our forums, and the team speak channels all have this link available by highlighting any of the TS3 channels in the IL2COD sections - look to the right of the players - don't stare at the women too long though ;)

My memory leak problem is minimised
 

I got fed up yesterday at the server, I was looking at my memory usage indicator more often than my fuel gauges;
I would decide to enter or leave a dogfight based on my available RAM :(

So, I played around with the video settings.
With the settings below, the game starts with some 500Mb RAM less than my previous settings and the memory leak is considerably slower!
The only downturn is that I can not see the grass anymore so it looks a bit miserable during take off. But the trade off is worthwhile for the peace of mind :)
Mind you, land detail is still high so from above the view is still wonderful, albeit without trees :)
I am sure there is more margin for trial and error but this was already a major improvement at little sacrifice for me.

Here is a screenshot of my settings in case anybody becomes as desperate as I was yesterday...

PS. Thanks for the answer Bliss, and for the download zip - too late, I had already set my eyes on the pinups...aaarrgh!
I have to think of something; I do not use the steam account CoD, I have a separate version on a different directory (in order to avoid any mess-up with the RAMDISK I have set the game up at).

PS2. needless to say, I do not have the problem with the train (NV)

Yeah - with that high a resolution, I can imagine some of the problems you are having currently.

As far as a short cut - here ya go. Just put it on your desktop anywhere you want and it's works just like the launcher shortcut.

I can confirm the same thing in every sortie over the same location.

Guess what? I'm an ATI user as well... :confused:

Haven't noticed any anomalies here with Nvidea.

I have an ATI card and only get that black thing when my system is too hot. Rebooting has solved it every time for me.
