BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - Bug thread

[IvanK]

Same I was there too .... slide show indeed. In my case FOV didnt affect it ... slide show everywhere. I figure about 8 aircraft in the fight.

Can you fix the online brief so it can show slides?

I'd be interested to learn why the game publisher is STILL claiming on the official game website ( http://il2sturmovik.ubi.com/cliffs-o.../key-features/ ), and has been for a year & a half now, that players can "Join a 128-player jump-in/jump-out multiplayer mode where battles can last hours, days or even weeks." when it is impossible to play the game when several planes are in the same locality.

Yeah, I was in that fight, too. Covering I13 at 10 angels in a Spit I when we spotted 4 or 5 110's approaching from the east at about 5 angels. As I closed on them from the north my fps abruptly dropped from 95 down to 1. This slideshow occurred for all POV and persisted continuously while in the proximity of the 110's. Couldn't get a shot off, but clearly at least one 110 was not as badly affected since the radar towers at I12 were destroyed. I also received fire from a 110 while I remained stuck in this 1 fps slideshow and baled out of my aircraft. A very unfortunate glitch in the game.

While using the FMB, if you change time of day (say 1:00PM to 3:00AM), the game will freeze solid once you zoom in far enough to see the change - when the terrain colors change to reflect the amount of lack of sun light. Did this 5 times in a row, and results in a complete freeze every time.

The mission has run way lights in it, if that makes a difference.

Edit: To test. Zoom all the way in on the top down view while in the FMB. Go to mission parameters and change time of day. Instant freeze every time for me.

i have a similar problem when i close in the 110 online. offline it work great.
no matter if its 1 or 10 110 online, when i close in and the detailed model load the frame drops to a slideshow. the stranfe thing is that it onbly happen with that aircraft.

On the ATAG Server, if you run into 110's, especially a formation of them, they are all human-flown. On the rare occasion that I encountered a small formation of Ju88's that were human-flown the same 1 fps slideshow occurred. Large formations of AI-flown multi-engine aircraft have not been a problem online in term of frame rates. To a certain degree, furballs with three or more human-flown 109's have also caused framerates to radically slow down as well.

It's a real game breaker as this directly affects what BoB online flying is all about: human players intercepting and battling other human players. It's broken and must be fixed.

It's a very simple bug to erase... No need for high tech Russian coder or read thousands of lines wrote by a super Uber IT Guru on the forum.

Just follow the 3 steps bellow :
1. press the trigger
2. Enjoy your newly acquired debugging skills
3. Report to your fellow with a big YA hOOO

Hand edit your user.ini. Copy from another aircraft.

This is a Steam issue, you need to make your changes/give it a name other than "custom" helps, and then close Steam once or twice, so that it saves.

The net code is hideous. Absolutely an embarrassment.
