Thansk team for all the work, i won't upgrade yet as my game works ok,

If anyone has SLI, does the game work better with SLI or not?

See this success story on multi-engine formation flying CTD fix. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=31835

The more CTDs you have in alpha the better because you can report them. No point to install alpha or beta otherwise.

Many people think the devs uploaded alpha to make game more enjoyable for them. No, the purpose is to collect bugreports and crashlogs as stated in the readme. It is really hard to get it when we all want a more enjoyable game but this is stated in the patch readme.

Please play, crash and report. The more the better

I saw Radeon HD 6770 1gb, I am so afraid that it is the VRAM issue.
Have you installed something to monitor your available VRAM? I am sorry I am an NV guy thus can not offer advice on SW for ATI.

The fact that it played well in the beginning and crapped out 24hrs later is still unexplicable.
It can ofcourse be the famous bug that switches your card in power saving mode...
(again you need a SW to monitor this as well as your VRAM usage...)


~S~

I'll definitely look into that, GRAthos. Cheers

My biggest bugbear which, I suppose, led to me blowing my top somewhat is that, throughout the majority of this wait, I have been supportive.... though not to the degree of utter fanboy. lol I have held a lot of faith in the development team, always certain that the miracle patch would arrive sooner than later yet I have also always said that I fully understand the rage of some on here and have always tried to see things from their point of view as dissatisfied customers.

As has been explained in this thread, and elsewhere, this is just an alpha test and an opportunity for the player base to help with testing and squashing of bugs and is not the patch we are looking for.... and that makes me think I knee jerked slightly.... but......

I am having trouble shaking the horrible feeling we are being led up the garden path slightly inasmuch as the development team was well aware of the various problems and have been for some time and yet, throughout this time, they keep "Discovering" the very problems we have been reporting since day one. One minute they claim they are close to fixing everything and the next it is scuppered due to some unimaginable and horrible surprise....which, the majority of the time, is actually one or more of the very things they claimed they were fixing in the first place!

I wasn't expecting the cure.... but I was expecting some signs of the ongoing treatment... if that makes sense?

I get the image in my mind of someone going to see a doctor because their leg has somehow mysteriously gone missing.... being put through hundreds of tests only for them to be told, months down the line, that the problem is.... their leg is missing.

"We shall fit the prosthetic soon, good sir!"

...a few months pass....

"Unfortunately we are unable to fit the new prosthetic limb as unforeseeable circumstances have arisen. We regret to inform you that you are missing a leg"

...a few months pass....

"We have great news, sir! We are giving you the chance to hobble around on your stump for awhile so you can tell us what may be causing the hobbling. We warn you now that there will be a lot of hobbling involved, mind, as we have not fixed the prosthetic limb yet and...erm... we've cut off your other one. The great news is that, those who have had the other leg removed are reporting as much as a 50% gain in performance due to the new ability to shuffle along on stumps of equal length!"

i wait a bit, then steam regenerate cache, then plain logo start, the screen go to black (like if launcher would start) and back to the desktop.

Im back in non patched version .

Another idea???

Have you stopped it connecting to the steam cloud?

EDIT: Sorry.... thought you meant is was inexplicably resetting to pre-patch version. lol

Try switching to windowed mode (in conf.ini). Start in windowed mode. Select fullscreen mode, restart game.

+1 thats what i did and worked

Whats with all this "remember guys this is an alpha patch "bull crap coming from, Blacksix as stated many times that the very reason us suckers have had to wait so long for this 'patch' is that they wanted it to be a proper finished patch and then let us have a beta, not wanting to be seen as team that makes half finished patches. So who is talking bollocks here, is it BlackSix or all you disciples who keep telling us that its an Alpha patch?

Or perhaps the problems go beyond their testing capabilities, and releasing an alpha patch expands the data collecting capabilities to be able to better squash bugs... right now its going to be how fast they turn out new versions of this patch with the collected data... or just keep thinking their ultimate plan is to turn out a crap game because that will enable them to sell more games in the future much better... lol... come on...
