BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - August 3, 2012

[Feathered_IV]

No changes in performance whatsoever when comparing to settings prior to this newest patch. Still clamped at 27fps. Shame on me for getting my hopes up.

Runs smoother than before, less stutters even all settings on max. Everything seems to work. Unfortunately still ruined db 601 sounds (fly-by and outboard, cockpit is ok), i was hoping (and still hope) they were only temporary with last beta patch and old, near perfect sounds would be back

[Bounder!]

Can't say the patch improved my frame rates as CoD has been perfectly smooth for me for some time but a lot of people were reporting better performance on ATAG last night which is great. My initial findings playing online last night:

- Grass still modeled in hangers.
- Trees seem to be fixed, no popping in and out but I still get a slight shimmer on trees and buildings possibly from anti aliasing.
- Dust cloud on the ground on take off seem smaller than before.
- Sounds seem a bit better overall although on startup the Spitfires engine is still silent until the engine has warmed up a bit.
- Small caliber hits on my Spit are back which is great (forgot how nice those bullet holes look )
- Spitfire seems to handle a bit different at low speed, feels heavier when coming into land and requires more throttle than before to keep it in the air on approach to landing.
- Spitfire 1a and 2a now have variable mixture and now work like the Rotol. From the cockpit the orange exhaust flame seems harder to see than it used to be many patches ago. Spits require mixture management now or they overheat pretty quickly at mid-high altitude.

Could you be a little less vague?

downloaded 18956 RAR file from warfare site, tried to open it and apparently the file is locked, and requires a password.

I ran my UnArcer prog in admin mode and tried open the file, no success, I tried to open another RAR file, it worked ok ...

I right clicked on download file, checked properties and forced W7 to allow it to be openned .. and still no success

hmmmm

Did you try a different mirror?

I've never heard of UnArcer. Try WinRAR or 7zip.

I've seen a few error reports posted in this forum.
The file is not repackaged or password protected.

I have upoaded/downloaded and installed it on a clean CoD installation to test and it works without any issues.

Avoid using winzip or lesser known archiving software, works fine with winrar.

With my system... and this patch...I cannot complain with 60 FPS avg... No freezes, no launcher error or CTD, MP Online or SP. Nice MP experience with lots of Pilots in ATAG...

I don't think you Can blame it on the patch at this point. At least tweak your system and give it a fair try before you rush in here and complain...

I would guess...those that do complain about performance either are not getting max performance out of their system due to their settings or need an upgrade...

Although the Spit seems to be a slug now...Thanks to the Team for the continuing effort...

Edit: REF: (Would like to see a hotfix for the Outside view sounds...like the flyby...which was awesome)
Outside sounds are fine for me...it was a particular mission glitch ...should heed my own advice!!! <S>
