Describe issues with BOB COD that need patch - for Oleg, Luthier

Bugs with new patch ( Patch 1.00.14072)

1. Strange AI/DM/FM behaviour - I was in a 3 plane tail chase, that is AI Spitfire, then AI ME109, then me in a Spitfire. I got off several good bursts into the 109 and eventually his engine and canopy area erupted in a large fireball. He continued to chase the AI spitfire whilst he was a fireball for at least 3 minutes without seemingly any performance loss or wanting to bail out of what must have been an inferno for the pilot! Eventually the tail fell off of the 109 and it spiralled downwards and crashed without the pilot bailing out! I need to add that whilst I was chasing this 109 and he was jinking to evade my gunfire his roll-rate was easily up there with an F-16 even at high speed! This is something I'd not noticed pre-patch. I'm also pretty concerned that several 109's let me blast them good and proper before deciding to take any evasive action. This was almost like a delayed reaction.

2. In the fix list Luthier mentioned that planes hitting the sea/land after being shot down and not showing an explosion or splash on impact had been fixed. This is not the case. Certainly in padlock mode the planes still just disappear on impact without splash or explosion, I witnessed this several times during the above furball. Not sure if it works ok without padlock though.


Will add more to this!

After the April 15 patch (beta) I can't set up a multiplayer game any more.
I select Server, start a mission, choose an army, but the 'change aircraft' interface is gone, and when I click 'fly' I end up watching the enemy (not the army I chose) from externals, unable to get into a plane.

Now, assuming that the Server interface is functional and not broken, i have probably missed something that is just before my nose... but on the other hand, I'm usually not that bad at figuring out interfaces by clicking around, so maybe it does need to become a bit more intuitive (unless it's actually broken, of course)

It's fairly general and quite recurrent, but well, all the launcher issues - many people are so far completely unable to start it, nevermind getting any steady flying.

Hello,

I got a bug of sort to report. It happened in the earlier version too so not concerning only this patch.

My Launcher.exe gets stuck on the server search window when I try to change the server search from Lan to Internet. It happens on the click on the dropdownbox where Lan is default. After that the game appears to freeze and wont take any input, and I have to use taskmanager to close Launcher.exe. Taskmanager shows activity in Launcher.exe so it isnt a complete freeze. More detail inspection revealed that Launcher.exe is waiting reply from networkconnection/svchost.exe? IIRC (It was on the first time it happened I checked that).

I found the cause why this is happening:
When starting Launcher.exe, I was clicking other windows during Launcher loadup when desktop is still visible with the crosshair, it messes up the loading procedure of Launcher somehow.

The result is I lose the Ubi intro (can hear the sound of it but screen remains black). And after that going into multiplayer server search window Launcher gets stuck when I try to change searching servers from Lan to Internet. I can search for lobbies, but I guess they dont work as they should.

Restarting the game and/or Steam wont cure it. Reinstall will.

I can play the singleplayer missions, but its the multiplayer what I got the game for. Any help ? Installing COD for the third time now...

Solved:
It is gpu driver setting which is causing the freeze. In ati CCC using override application settings screws it up, the other settings: enhance application settings and application settings works just fine... nothing to do with things mentioned above.
Weird though how gpu settings can cause such a thing to happen...

A blocked static port will cause the altimeter to freeze at a constant value.
In COD, the altimeter starts to spin upward to a higher altitude until thawing occurs. It should just freeze in place until the port thaws.

First off thanks for what is shaping up to be an awesome sim. I installed the beta patch and that improved the frame rate issue greatly (still a little jumpy flying low over city's). I am still having lock ups when a dialog boxes comes up (like when you select red or blue armies or setting up controls). Also when I am hosting after a short time the throttle and clickable dash stops working on the ME 109. I don't have this problem with the spit but it is very consistent on the 109. This dose not seem to happen when I go to someone elses sever. Hope this helps.

Sorry if already posted

1) Revi gunsight not calibrated on 109, shoots low and a little to the left.

2) Annoying landing gear sound effect when spawning into grounded a/c in mp.

3) TrackS do not seem to work if edit view is selected.

4) Still getting stutters at altitude ie 4000m onwards, which persist even after losing height.


Thank you & S`

Getting in a plane in MP
I do have alot of trouble in multiplayer getting my curser on plane tags on the map to get in a plane. The rest of my teammates seem to have no issue. The plane labels flash up but do not stay on so I can click on them, also they are not at the planes on the map and could be anywhere. I have to search for them. It is trial and error until I get lucky. Sometimes if I change sides It works a little better. But that doesnt help when you want to fly a coop on the same side. So I just hop in a 109 and kill my teammates, which is fun LOL!

Maybe it is resloution on this 52' plasma or the stock MP missions are just Porked?

Custom COOPs might be the answer. if you are host you are already in a plane. The group I fly with has some good mission builders and we are currently testing one out. Anyone have working MP Coops out there yet?
