Darn it. Did it update automatically without even me asking, or without letting me see that it was downloading?

Well, I guess everything's right then!

Thanks

After installing that patch, people experiencing fps and stutter improvement but from the other side many more launcher.exe crashes and network problems. I got boost in performance but my game is crashing now much more often, for example I start game hit single player quick mission and until I change aircraft types I got my game crashed while loading, that was happening ealier on but so frequent, there is many more bugs sand problems bit I am real surprised that Your update was so quick, thanks for that...can't wait until You sort out multiplayer...

Thanks for the Patch guys. I am running at 40 to 50 fps. Everything on medium except models and Decals on High. Sim looks good. Now if I could only figure out Engine management I will be in buisness. I turned both of these off and had me a BALL!!!
Nice sim. Keep up the good work.

My specs:
i7 950 @ 4.0Mhz
Asus P6X58D
GTX 470 SLI
GSkill DDR3 1600 x 8gigs
Win7 Home Premium 64bit

The FPS is slightly higher than before. Still unplayable at 1920x1080 at whatever setting (low fps max 40 over water, 20 london, heavy stutters). At 1600x900 significantly better. Playabe at medium settings...low over a small town around 30-35 fps, london cca 20-27, water 50-60.
But, again whatever settings the stutter especially low over land is significant but less pronounced. Low/high settings dont do much difference, with high it is slightly worse.

THE BIGGEST ISSUE...nvidia control pannel cant see the sim, so I cant try to set anything (especially AA and AF and vertical synchronisation)

THE GPU is rarely at full power (only in london at 1920x1080 and high settings. usually around 53%max)

THE CPU is also somewhere 20 - 30% max (even the first core doesnt come more than 50). Seems the game isnt utilising even one core.

Affinitymask to 14 helped a little with fps/stutter, but the cpu isnt going higher

I have aero switched off...just in case, because i didnt see much difference

I use the first 2 series nvidia drivers (257.xx?). Did you people see better results with newer drivers? (did it help with nvidia control pannel?)

Also the logitech G940 manager cant seem to recognize the game. The centering force sometimes works and sometimes not.

I use Freetrack and all FPS was recorded by fraps.
Tested with tiger moth free flight over england.

My rig:
i5-450 oc 4GHz
4GB RAM 1600 7-7-7-24
GTX480 stock (1,5GB)
SSD AHCI mode for WIN 7 64b Enterprise
Another SSD IDE mode for sims (IDE mode made a big difference in stutters not only in il2 but also A-10)
Pagefile on WD caviar green i dont remember 4 or 6 GB

Try to overclock the GPU let's say by 1 MHz, maybe it will run then at full speed. Lot of ATI users reported such behaviour. I can try it myself later, after US release I'll gonna buy the sim too. Lets hope this will be sorted till End of April!

Does someone among you, guys, know the way to restore the unpatched version of the game? Sometimes before the program worked, now not at all...
Thx!

I have maximum frequencies, but the GPU load measured with GPUZ goes to about 53%.

Ok m8, now i'm understanding so the game simply don't uses all of the recources? No wonder that it runs rusty..
