just had an extremely annoying bug while playing online on ATAG server...
i crossed the channel with my bf 109E1 and headed towards Manston.
i saw a spit and a hurri dogfighting another bf, so i engaged.at the second i placed myself nicely at the six of the hurri, suddenly the screen froze.i could still hear the sound and how the engine began to overrev slowy.after about 5seconds the game seemed to continue, but after only half a second, the screen froze again.this lag continued until i crashed into the channel.
those lags/screen freezes are extremely annoying, especially when playing online.in singleplayer mode, i rarely have them and not nearly as dramatic as when playing onlline.
however i played two and a half hour today on ATAG server, and had those screenfreezes several times.sometimes midair when nothing obvious seemed to happen in my near surrounding.
but everytime when i engaged an enemy plane, the screen froze for some seconds(certainly 2-3 seconds).this makes onlinegaming really frustrating.i imagine my oponent grinning when he saw that i suddenly disengaged without any reason,diving straight from his six into the channel
again those screenfreezes happen really often, but normally after some few seconds, the game continues.which is annoying enough...
but the last freeze caused not only a crash of my plane, but of the game as well.
i looked at the crashfile in the 1c folder, but it was 0kb big.so nothing i can send to the devs.
another bug which kills immersion when playing online, is the solution how planes and targets are shown from far distance.
the dots are not white anymore, but black...so they are not that obvious anymore, but still visible through land, which is a nogo.
the dots are clearly visible from hundred of miles, but when you actually come close, the black dot suddenly jumps to a grey one which is far smaller in size.so one can spot objects from the other side of the channel, but when you actually come closer, the objects suddenly seem to dissapear.thats ridiculous and really needs improvement.i know that problem exists since day one, but all the devs did was to suddenly make the dots even more visible and turned them into a shiny white/trying to resemble reflections(which btw did not look like reflections at all), and after everybody was complaining about this feature/bug, they just made them black, instead of finding a solution.
