Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover BETA Patch v 1.03.15527

[kakkola]

Hi all,
After more testing with latest beta patch:
I went back to previous official patch!!!
C`mon guys,they fix the color of the ground ok,but this thing is a graphic glitch fest,haze is ugly, colors are washed out in cockpit,loss of fps and more stutters!
I really hope they`re going to fix the optimization(first) in this sim cuz is still not fun to play(at least for me)
We`ll see in the next official patch, I`ll wait before buy the english version!!!!!!!

Phenom x4 3,4hz oc at 3,8ghz
gtx 570 1280mb
8gb ram
win 7 ultimate

what are you talking about man, it's gorgeous, you're not helping whit that kind of whining, this looks better than FSX for cryin out loud , sure there's some stuttering but IMO all the flightsims have had some stutters. Believe me they're working on it, meanwhile you could buy the english version now and support the company

I'm feeling the same way about the haze. It'll be that way some of the time. Now 95% of the time, looking back at flying around the US and North Eastern Europe over the last 30 years, it'll be hazy in the BoB time frame. In the winter and sometimes summer after a cold front passage there's hardly any visible moisture or haze in the air. Those are the memorable 50+ mile visibility days.

If they ever get around implementing the dynamic weather we might see a hazy day one day and a 50+mile visibility the next. For now, especialy flying at the higher altitudes, it's almost photorealistic. When flying at 18000ft and looking down at the Cliffs of Dover it makes sense you can't see every detail on the ground.

Liked the dawn and dusk timeframes better in the older version. Less blinding sun and light effects. The sun is not that strong 30 minutes before sunset or 30 minutes after sunrise. We used the old fingers below the sun trick to see how much time before sunrise we had. 1 Finger equals 15 minutes of remaining sunlight. This never left me blinded while looking at the sun the last hour before sunset.

The program still freezes after about one or two quick missions. Quicker when it's a mission over land with more than a few aircraft involved. Might be the lack of graphics memory (8800gts 640m) or just the overall crapness of my system. Windows XP, 6600 duocore at 3.4 ghz with 4mb of ram. Anyone out there with a similar system that can run the program without crashing every 10 minutes? Over water the fps is around 20-25 and smooth most of the times. Sometimes I get the little stutter every 5 seconds. After a restart the stutter is mostly gone.

I have a very similar system...built in 2007!

8800GTX 768Mb on card memory
Intel duocore E6700
4GB Ram

I'm actually quite surprised that I have not had the insane problems reported and discussed on the Forums by people with 2011 State-of-the art Rigs, which I find very very odd and counter-intuitive. When COD works, it's superb....the cockpit lighting, shadows, for example...and the new Sounds in the patch (although they do sometimes seem to occasionally cut in and out randomly). I haven't committed yet to upgrade my 2007-era Rig, so I thus far have been flying only scaled down Quick missions...no more than 12-15 acft. The frustration is that sometimes I can fly a full mission, say 15-20 minutes in duration, but probably after 3-4 missions, give or take, I get the 'stopping' of the "Launcher" mid-mission after maybe 5 minutes for no apparent reason, or I get some weird 'memory Crash message' during the loading of a new Quick Mission. In both cases, COD locks up and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of Steam/COD and re-start COD from scratch. I've also lost my Options/Controls profiles several times, and have had to go through the tedious process of again manually entering my keys/axes selections. At one point, my patched version of COD (the latest 6 Sep Patch) seems to have gotten overwritten/rolled-back almost assuredly by Steam, though i don't know how or why. I had to download the full 512 Mb patch and re-install again. I hate Steam.

One question for anyone: When one "applies" a profile, what is the file name? Is it confUser.ini?? Also, when I "Save As" a profile, and i give it a name such as JoeBlow.ini, later if/when I want to re-apply that profile (after Stream has screwed me up again) do I just simply click the Load button in the Options page, select "Joeblow.ini", then hit the Apply button?

The sounds in the beta have taken the game up from Alpha to Beta, if only the devs could realise that not the entire audience for this game are sim experts or want to spend hours trying to get into MP and the casual player will not try here for tips.

Look at the GUI, its the worst I have ever seen and the way the game seems to exit and enter the 'game' mode i.e from main menu to campaign to fly its 1990's material, saying that Black Shark has a similar pos gui.

They need to employ an designer who understand tactile menu systems, exApple employee or something as that would put a commercial slant on things rather than this niche user population.

Get those FPS up or at least let me select options that give me better fps and no stutter ? EVen all low is still poor very poor...

Sounds are the only thing that has given this game a better light but that will be short lived with the over game being a poor unpolished turd currently.

Lol @^ !
