Thank You Black6 and the team!

The wording accompanying the patch is underwhelming, and makes it sound like the patch isn't very good, but...

EDIT!, TESTED IT! AI NOW LISTEN TO ORDERS AND GO FOR IT! great news, on fps, IMPROVED A LOT!, i have X2 fps and in more times X2.5 , now Clouds far, the spit looks ok, and all of the "mini" slutters whit effects looks fine, ... Its FINE! looks like all WORKS WELL! :) , later i will write some more complex :)

pd: The tracers now looks like tracers and can be see in one or two km

this sounds very promising!

Question to the devs or technical features:

Is there a better forma'de instalção?

Using the integrity check would be enough or will be advised to delete everything and download everything from scratch?

tks

I deleted everything, but thats only because I pressed the wrong button! I meant to verify cache...

Aww that sucks! Horrible time to accidentally wipe your install! I hope your connection has decent download bandwidth!

No improvements whatsoever... and even worse performance on even lower settings.

Nice to see the 109 cockpit hasn't even been fixed either.

Ok guys just made a video of the Tracers and Orders, SLUTERS ARE FROM FRAPS, whitout it 75 -70 fps , (My pc didnt pass the 75Fps)

so I need to uninstall and reinstal the game and then patch?

If you uninstall everything, download and reinstall, it will also get you to the latest official version.

So, they do the same thing, but the integrity check takes less time. I prefer the integrity check ;)

My checklist:
1) Verify integrity of local files (to get back to last official version)

2) Go to your documents\1c softclub\IL-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder and go into the cache folder. Delete everything in there (the game will rebuild it based on the new version next time you run the sim).

3) Extract the beta patch in the game folder (c:\whatever_you_named_it\steam\steamapps\common\I L-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover) and let it overwrite anything it wants to overwrite

4) Run the sim one to force it to rebuild the cache.

5) Start a free flight quick mission to force it to add anything else it might need in the cache.

6) Exit the sim.

7) Restart the sim.

Now you can test your frame rates with a clean install of the latest beta, as well as a correct cache folder for your version. If you skip steps 5,6,7 you might see that initially you get worse performance, because the game might still be adding files to the cache. However, the next time you start it, it will be better and you will get the true performance.
