New core DLL`s feedback

[~BeoWolf~]

I remember back quite awhile ago, when I was running an AMD system, we were advised to take the il2.core.dll and copy it to documents and rename it to il2.core4.dll and replace the core4.dll in your IL2 folder, I always did that on my AMD FX53 system and the game ran great. I remember faintly that the core4 dll had something to do with Intel systems. You can try this, I tried it on my system I'm using now which is an Intel system and did not notice any problems, of course I put it back to the original. Back up the original il2.core4.dll and try it. It can't hurt.

I have had no problems with the new DLL's. It could just be for High end systems.

thanks for the help guys but I think I might wait for the proper patch to come out - enjoy all the new goodies for me in the meantime

One of my squad mates mates cant even get his sim to run after patching. Im assuming the DLL's are the issue. He does not have a very high end computer either.

The only problem I seem to be having with these dll's (CsThorsas the stock 4.09Beta wouldn't let me start the sim.) is sound related. A problem I've never had up until 4.09. I'll be flying along and "intermittently" the sim will lock up. The sounds I hear during the lock up will be like this. It will “ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha---hang up. (If you get my drift) and then, if I haven't flown into the ground, the sim will start up again. This lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 seconds and once I had to reboot to get out of the sim. Other than this, FB runs great. Thanks 1c!

I'm having the same problems as Falke, who posted right before me.

At first I thought my video card was going, but when I play 4.08, I have no problems.

When I go into the FMB and work on my Slovakia missions (4.09), I get lock-ups. The first time or two the screen will freeze for a short time (less than 30 seconds). After that it usually freezes for good and I have to reboot.

I'm going to try some earlier dll's to see if it helps.

[Aviar]

Ok, I have some test results.

I replaced the 'mg_snd_sse.dll' file from 4.09 with the one from 4.08. I then ran a long (over 2 1\2 hours) test session. Normally, I would have had some freezes and eventually a total lockup by then. However, I had no problems at all.

I'll continue to use the dll from 4.08 and see if IL-2 continues to run normally.

Hey,

I got a very similar system with even the same drivers. Using Thor's gfx dlls and 408's sound dlls though.

I couldn'T believe you get constantly 60fps with these settings so I set them to my conf.ini and nhancer just as you do. I tried the Slovakia map and no.. over cities I'm going down to 17..25 at times, especially from the pit or zooming out in the external view. Changing to 8xS SuperSampling AA I got low 20s as minimum flying the same route. As long as I stay away from the cities or don't look at a whole city it's +/-60..

Maybe I can upload a track of my flight so you can tell me yours? Not that I am wasting performance somewhere...

Found somethign odd though. changing to MultiSampling AA didn't bring much more fps, especially 4x and 8xQ actually left a slower impression and even went down to 12fps at times.

Sooo .... is there any update or work around on this AMD issue ?

I do have 4.09b1m running fine using the old version of mg_snd_sse.dll (Sempron2400+, and as with everyone else running old Athlons - 4.09b falls over with the new dll) however it would be nice to try the new sound dll.
