Blacksix, info today here pls.
 

Blacksix, you posted yesterday you might have some information today, please could you post it here so its easy to find for everyone.

Cheers.

Unless you want to make a post of your own of course. :)

Test is going well. We don't have CTD on our PCs. I hope what we will release patch on this week.

Excellent, let's hope so. Cheers

No CTD online?

Blacksix, the CTD's are only online after about 45 mins, this is been tested?

the beta right? not the final

Yaaay! Maybe Friday if we are lucky then? lol!

I posted this at 11.57am, Blacksix's reply 12.12pm.

Im bleedin well psychic. :)

Edit. should read my posts before hitting reply. :)

Thanks dutch.

thanks for the response

....and a small cheer went up from every corner of the world and that day there was content... :grin:

Uhmm.. CTD's aren't only online after 45min..
They also happen in single player, at any time, and well under 45min normally.

Well I don't know about that Furbsy, but you might be psychic. :grin:

I suppose I was being a bit too optimistic thinking they might put it out by close of play today. You know, 'weekend plus a couple of days'? :confused:

Yes, no CTD online on our PCs.

Beta

Great news Blacksix!! Thx for letting us know!!!:grin:

Tested with bombers, yes?

Thanks BSix,
just another question, (dunno if already asked) will the LOD at medium distances tuned up in this patch or with near future patches or it isn't an issue for dev team?
thanks again

I was talking about the almost certain CTD for 99% of people, but i take your point.

ty. :)

Thanks BlackSix, great news indeed.

BTW this is No.2 "most wanted" bug after missing COOP gamemode according to number of votes here http://www.il2bugtracker.com/project...ues?query_id=1

Blacksix, I know you make the missions for the team, do you know if the COOP system will be addressed in a CLOD patch to come?

Please look here...

Thanks B6 & Team,

Keep diggin out blind men.

@Furbs - One thing at a time mate, slowly slowly catch a monkey.

Don't hurt to ask :)

I never had a ctd problem in COD,,, only ghost planes, and and some Steam issues.. (cough,, cough..)

I feel the Dark Ages may be coming to an end, :grin:

Not quite....nobody asked if there are still CTD's when wearing green socks, I would like assurances.

+1

Green? weirdo :)

Yes, the times since the last patch have truly been medieval :)

Regarding the CTD we experience in our version now online I'm pretty sure they have fixed it as it seems to be related to texture loading that has been rewritten. I've been able to recreate the memory leak by switching skins on an aircraft, but only after flying one or more online sorties and doing it after being back on the ground after some action (and other textures/skins being loaded?). But not every time... Then it happens other times online too but it seems related to texture loading too as I at some occasions have found "half" skins after a crash just after the catching an enemy aircraft (maybe with a home made skin?)... I have reported these to Ilya ages ago with dumps and logs and he has responded back that they where looking at it for the patch so no new news...

Then it seems there where other problems that has caused CTD:s so I guess there has been many leaks - but the fact that the texture loading routine now is rewritten and runs on a separate thread sounds good! No more stuttering when users with funky home made skins join an online session either ;) I really would like to have an option to disable user skins and got a response from Ilya that they may include that...

Good News :grin:

For 99% ?

Hardly.. and IMHO it would be comic to see just how you came up with that number

lol

The most common cause of CTD on my machine is when you open up the explorer box in the game - basically when you want to save a track or change the conf file. I cant complain given other peoples experiences.

As a budding pilot im hoping that the track file views (i.e. not fixed on full swith mode etc) may have been fixed so i can review my gross flying mistakes properly

Take a day off....:rolleyes:

Or sandals. I'm often wearing sandals in the summer. It's probably too cold to test that configuration in Moscow. I'M DOOOOOMED!!!

Right! What does this say about future development of this sim when its takes this long to release a PATCH? :confused:

It probably says nothing at all. They rewrote a lot of complicated stuff (sorry for the tech talk), that takes a lot of time.

What David said. lol

Any future development would just be a matter of using the current engine which, hopefully, would be fully fixed by this upcoming patch and the handful (I'm guessing) that will come after it.

The majority of the CTD's that can easily be reproduced is when you fly multiple 2 and 4 engined aircraft close together by live players on a multi-player server for extended periods of time.

As long as they did a simple test and flew 4-6 multiple engine aircraft (preferably tested with more) operated by live players close together (ie formation) on a MP server for a couple hours or more without any CTD's then that would be solving the majority of the CTD issues for many.

Yep. I sure hope it's fixed. I also hope the bomb sights are fixed, so we can go open a big can of Blitzkrieg on the poor Tommies. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/image.p...786&type=thumb

The devs acknowledged the CTD's and memory leak already, so whats your problem? I guess I missed the fine print in the devs statement that there is a memory leak in all copies except the one Ace of Aces received. I guess there is no reason for you to patch your copy then Ace? Ignorance is bliss I guess....

Maybe tomorrow .... I'm anxious for this patch

My leaking memory is not noticable, or I've forgotten about it

lmfao

Google translate of Blacksix last post today on Sokhoi (at 12:44):

Posted by shammy:
I hope the online tests are also carried out?

Blacksix:
Yes, of course. We have a group of testers was flying parallel to the old version and crash all the time. In the new patch it does not crash. Now all will test a large number of PCs you have different.

Well, "crash all the time" pretty much confirms that they accnowledge the leaks and online crashes, and that they are hopeful of having fixed them ;) I guess "is not flown" mean "does not crash"... Checked alternate translations and that was the case so I changed the text above.

THIS ^

Have you tested 30-45 min flight with a formation of bombers?

Of course, though ARSE of ARSES must think Blacksix and the testers are lying. :rolleyes:

It really doesn't matter how many facts we throw at Ace, he will spin it somehow or just do his trademark *yawn*.

lol:grin:

The ONLY thing that matters in this thread is this:
I swear some of you would argue if one said water was wet...

Excellent!...should be a big boost for the on-line pilot numbers

Prove it! Facts!

I'll get a graph...
;)

I'll get another graph....it will be better than your graph.

Charts and graphs!

Quoted for truth and hence the reason I can no longer read his posts :o

So please stop quoting him, Thank you kindly.

(Okay, Okay I loved Bioshock ;))

No it isn't! :D

Yes it is "Fanyboi"

http://icanhascheezburger.files.word...-wet-water.jpg

Water isn't actually wet. Water is water. Wet is simply a perception experienced when a material previously not in contact with water becomes mixed with water in some way and the resultant change in its textural properties are recognised and subsequently recorded via language or the written word as 'wet'. Raaaid will concur ;)

:D

look!! HE MADE A JOKE!!! :shock::shock::shock:

actually iced water IS water, but is it wet?? obviously not.. think about the facts and get your act together before posting any more crap!

c:\>sarcastic troll off

That last post was fantastic,completely hits this forum on the head!!! Wow not like that like this!!!!

Brilliant.

Cheese

He's had a day off from being one:grin:

Gosh, that really hurts... And here I was trying so hard to be buddies with you...

Hey c'mon, that wasn't nice nor justified!
What do expect? His just another employee affected by mushroom management; kept in the dark and fed with sh1t.

So.. is it safe to assume that your quote of 99% was based on a poll?

If so, was it that poll where the mods discovered certain people were voting more than once using different handles?

WTF are you talking about?

Jesus christ, the developers and their testers know about and have the CTD's themselves, are you calling them liars?

Just give it a rest, your boring me.

First thing I should point out is that I never said the devs did not acknowledge there is a CTD with 'some' computers.

While we are on the subject, take note of what BS said wrt the CTD. BS is clear to point out that they are not experiencing any CTD's with 'their' PC. Translated means there is still a chance that some user PCs may still have a CTD issue! Which means even the devs admit that the CTD is PC depended.

So far so good?

Now lets look at what I did say

I questioned furb's 99% quote.. Why? Because we know that number has no real meaning.. It was picked out of thin air.. So truth be told we don't know what percentage of people are experiencing CTDs.

All we know for sure is that some people do and some people don't experience CTDs (based on previous thread in this very forum)

Which goes back to why BS did NOT say the CTD is fixed! Note he said they are not experiencing any CTDs on their PCs.. Two very different things! Which again means even the devs admit that the CTD is/was very PC depended.

All better now?

I see the old and well known trap closing its jaws. Don't go that way furbs, please.

i personaly have never suffered with CTD's ... i only fly online and the majer issue for me is the menu screens locking up while choosing my online base or aircraft.... here's me hopeing this will be fixed with the patch ;)

Anyone want to know how to spot someone that realised they are wrong, but not adult enough to admit it?

Easy, look for the person that has to resort to name calling in an atempt to take the focus off the fact that they are wrong and not adult enough to admit it

For example

:confused: :o:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin: :rolleyes:

The logic is so tortured I can almost hear it scream...

DX11 anyone?

I think you need to read BlackSix's post again Ace, he means they are not getting CTD's now they have the new gfx engine, but they were getting them on the old engine...

Ok lets read it togther

Note the bold..

Not sure what that tells you, or others, but what that tells me is they reailse the CTD is, was, or could be (post patch) PC depended

This is what I think about it all.

Search the quote Ace, there is another sentence to it.:)

Here ya go Ace:

"Blacksix:
Yes, of course. We have a group of testers was flying parallel to the old version and crash all the time."

If you can remove the rose colored lenses for a sec, you will see he is talking about the old version which is what we are all flying now. What you posted is results from testing on the new patch version which none of us have yet. IE everyone has CTD's at some point. Memory leaks are universal and some might not experience them if they quit after every mission or limit their flying sessions. Also depends on how much memory someone has in their machine before they CTD when the leak fills it up.

Thank you Force,
Now lets all read it together...
"Blacksix:

Now they dont, they have fixed it.

No rose colored glasses required or used.. Just need to read, i.e.

Note the bold..

True, I didn't have any for a long time and then had 3 in one night, in less than 45 mins.

It doesn't make any sense to post this clip here. Therefore it's only logical to post it her. Keyword: absurd.

thanks for the excellent news B6, cant wait to be turnin and burnin spits in my 109 without being teleported to my desktop :D raining all week, and a new patch as a trade for not mowing my lawn.... my weekends looking good already :D

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...Picture081.jpg


My dog's been wishing for a reason to get on the internet:cool:

That would make sense if Furbs said that 99% of the devs had CTD's on the patch their testing right now. He was talking about CTD's that we are having with what we are flying right now. In that case, 99% is an accurate statement. Let me know if your still struggling with this fairly simple timeline and I will bust out some crayons and put together some pie charts and flow graphs for ya.

The patch took so long because the CTD is PC-related, and thus the patch will be obliged to reconfigure every single PC on this earth to eliminate CTD's. Simple logics, guys.

Surely all Aces is saying is that just because the devs are not experiencing CTD's anymore it does not preclude the possibility that we will, I'm sure some bright spark will find a way to crash it that the devs have missed :)

I think that this thread has reached the end - just like many others here lately ;)

If 10 testers have a range of PC's and they get CTD's all the time with our version of CLOD, then they apply the patch and now the CTD's have stopped and they have made no hardware changes to their PC's, what does that tell your about the CTD's?

am i missing something?

(by the way i made up the number of testers just in case i get jumped on again)

It tells me only a maximum of 10 different PC's have been tested with the patch, how many different setups do you think we have on this forum alone?

That in a very small test group it is 100% fixed, is it correct to assume that this means it is 100% fixed? Only if you have switched to being optimistic from the usual pessimism that pervades around here ;)

well said sir.
Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Well seems like eveyone is confused.. So allow me to clear this up

First things first

furbs stated that 99% of the people were experancing CTD

Which is NOT true

Based on posts in this very forum we know for a fact that some never experanced a CTD, and other only experanced them a few times

What that means is the CTD is very PC depended.

Just to be crystal, I am NOT saying the CTD is NOT a CoD bug, never have, never will! All I am pointing out is that it is PC depended.

And clearly I am in good company, because even BS went as far as to note that they are not experancing any CTD on 'thier' PCs. Which is another way of saying, we don't have every kind of PC combination out there at our disposale to beta test on, thus there is a slight chance that some people may still experance CTDs post patch. Why else would BS qualify the statment by saying 'on our PCs'?

Hope that helps!

S!

b i n g o!!

Disagree

And just to be crystal, if what you are saying/selling is true, than furbs should have said 100%, which would also be in error. There is not enough data to say exactally how many people are or are not having CTD issues, all we know for sure is that some do and some dont
