which is the correct one? as both seem to (?) be used whether connection is made to the steamcloud or not.

Er, he asked the question, but I can't see the answer? It was said the Softclub would be the one to use for the russian version of the game, but I'm not sure what the latest is - which do we use or does it depend how we're connected or what?

Thanks

True he did not give the answer but, I do not expect my food to be served to me already chewed up either

Very easy to find:
Open both conf.ini in the two directories he mentions and examine whicone has updated data and which one not. That solves the riddle
(correct answer is = the Documents folder of the user's desktop (labelled 1C Softclub) )

Thanks, sorry for being a dunce. Trying to work out too many things, like how to get the GPU at full speed, so not capable of doing simple things at the moment

No worries

The game works very nicely if you start with low resolutions (1024x76

Look at my pictures at http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=19777&page=3

And it runs much better in Win7 64bit (just testing it)

Happy flying

Rationalizing much?


Well, the original IL2 is a game that came out in 2001, I think I have been playing the various versions of it since 2003.

I do remember well that those days you were happy to achieve a resolution of 640x without stutters.
Today, after so many years since the release of the game, I run IL2FB at resolutions 3840x and tripple view (front, right, left) at the same time.

So, my personal position (of course I do not expect you to agree with it) is that it is better to have a game which is so overwhelmed with features that you will need to wait for a few years until the available HW (for your pocket) is able to exploit all facets of the game without performance penalty than having everything today.
(look at the timing of the engine exhausts)


Of course I am dissapointed that I have to make drastic cuts on my resolution and indeed, I am happy that a.) so many people complain as the increased pressure to Ubi and 1C makes them react quickly ad bring new updates and b.) internet is so popular that information travels fast and pressure groups can make a difference.

Patience is a virtue and I have been waiting for this CoD version of the game more or less 6 years so the few weeks between the fixes des not bother me too much.

And true, I believe in the half-full glasses, it is better to be able to enjoy the things you have, rather than the things you wish you had

Sorry for the philosophy, let's enjoy the game...

That's how I feel.

If they need to wait a few years before it's good enough to generate a decent volume of sales, then they'll be out of business by the end of 2011. There just aren't that many people who will buy a game they can't play, and word of mouth and online reviews are going to be very harsh indeed unless Luthier's FPS patch can actually deliver some significant improvement and deliver it quickly.

RoF got away with being incomplete (no proper campaign) because the actual flying was great fun from day 1 on run-of-the-mill gaming PCs. CloD is the other way round. There's probably a great campaign in there, but we can't fly over land enough to play it on the PCs we actually have now.
