Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover: Patch 1.0.13954

[sod16]

Specs in sig...
@ 1600 by 900 (down from 1080p)

VERY HIGH (NO AA) over sea = 8 - 40 fps -> 24 - 110 FPS average 80, with planes 40 to 50+
Overland >still unplayable, but more then playable @ high distant flights

Dog fighting is now possible, AI seem less retarded. (campain and quick flight was unplayable)
Fixed frame rate overall, land and sea by roughly double with forests turned off and buildings reduced, way less stutters but still a few.

After Multicore optimisation 2/4 core's constant use, I think performance will again double over land and buildings will not magically apear.

Shadows/roads etc are still eating frames.

I guess its based on number of objects on the map I I've been getting a better rrate in Multiplayer, averaging about 45 rather than 35 for the single missions.!

Cheers!

After Steam installed the patch, I get this error from Launcher.exe every time I try to play. It's a show-stopper!

So can we officially say that the "Panic" mode can officially be put behind us? From the reports it appears that this patch has made SIGNIFICANT progress towards getting the game optimized. The good news is that the game is FAR from optimized.. It might sound crazy at first, but in reality it means that the developers will be able to make fairly large improvements in the future.. Fixing SLI and X Fire as well as maybe some Multi Core support would reap large rewards.
