how do i install the patch again? forgot? i just dump the parts file somewhere? right?

unpack the file with 7zip into the steam il2 clod main folder

I'm still briefly seeing the desktop when I'm transitioning between 2D menus and 3D in-game.

Is this normal?

Same here: closing a mission, going from main menu to full mission builder, starting a mission: I can see the desktop, sometimes it is the whole desktop, sometimes it is a strange mix of game's graphics framed into underneath desktop windows

No performance problems, it is just visually awful but I can live with it.

Just to back up Kankkis on this.

I have the same video card and am also having the same return of the awful stutters with this beta patch. The previous beta was much better with the stutters..they were almost all (but not completely) gone. The new beta has buggered things up for those of us with a dual GPU card again (or at least, those of us with a 5970). There is no way to disable Catalyst AI through CCC (I am using the new official ATI 11.4 drivers).

I did delete the cache etc... and made no changes to any of my in game settings pre and post this latest beta patch.

I have rolled back to the previous beta and I obviously hope this is sorted before the beta patch goes final.

Hope this feedback is of some help to the devs.

next patch - consider this please "replay bug" !
 

I wish to all the russian developers (who deserve it) also a nice holyday!

But talking about the next patch, something jumps to my mind that I recently found in the game and almost forgot !!!

The replays of recorded missions are not working properly.
I recorded one of my flights and watched it again. in the replay the plane did something different from what I actually did at that point.

We had the same problems with replays way back in the old days of the first IL2-Sturmovik!

By the way, the keys for the different cameras that are already set in the game, seemingly dont work.
When I press external view or fly-by camera or whatever (F1-F6 or so...) nothing happens, the sight stays in cockpit view.
It doesent matter if you put the option "change sights" or what it says before starting the replay.

I watched some clips of the sim on youtube and was impressed about the great bombexplosions and other visual effects that you dont see in the cockpit.

I´d like to make my own little clips and edit them as it was possible in the old IL2. With those great new graphics it is certainly fun to watch this.
For others this clip editing seems to work. I only can replay my recorded flights and watch them again in cockpit view.

Am I doing anything wrong or is this also a bug like the mistakes in the replays? Would be great to get this also working properly, besides the other deficiencies.

AMD Catalyst 11.4 out for download
 

http://www.guru3d.com/news/amd-catal...-for-download/ Do you use MSI Afterburner with custom fan profiles?
That was the reason of all my shuttering. Once I closed Afterburner, everything was fine.

Thanks ;)

I bought this game one month ago.
Played a bit, stopped it because of all the bugs. Waiting for patch.
Today I tried it. That's worst!!!
I list my previous bugs::evil::evil:
can't save the campaign.
can't change anything during the single mission (type of munitions...)
the artificial horizon sucks after few loopings.
the spitfire mirror was ful of big pixels.
can't communicate with tower and others pilots through the "tab" menu.

My today bugs::evil::evil::evil:
can't play the campaign. the plane's gear is up on the ground. so when i start the engine, the screw broke.
all the instruments sucks now. they don't move.
the fps slow down.

I stop playing before finding new bugs.
I'm on the verge of throwing this game out the window.:evil::evil::evil::evil:
It is outrageous to pay 50 euros for it.:evil::evil::evil::evil:
The least we can expect from a game is that it works.
I bought pacific fighters and 1946.
I knew that Ubisoft sucks. :evil::evil: But I was expecting that you didn't.
I was wrong. :confused::confused:

This is from a very useful thread posted on these forums before:

• Disable CATALYST A.I - You must follow instructions below to disable Cat A.I. The slider settings are for enabled only, they've made it harder to disable it but here is how with latest drivers:

* Close down CCC.exe and MOM.exe via Taskmanager
* Navigate to <username> \AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles (for me C:\Users\Meh\Appdata\ etc
* Open Profiles.xml with Notepad
* Alt + F and search for "Catalyst"
* Change Value Enable to Disable for Catalyst A.I
* Save
* Restart

Just linking the rest of the thread, if you got bad stutters, follow their suggestions to hopefully sort em out as much as possible:

Game runs like a dream for me right now, smooth and Anti-Aliasing works good if I set it to override application settings in CCC. Only real problem I still have is the three blue lines on the horizon but I can live with those for now I suppose.

Thanks a bunch for the patch Luthier, game has come a looong way since first release version!:grin:
