Anyone else tried it?

Confirm. Effects to 'low' stops the freezes, but then you have no smoke, no explosions and no gun flashes (externally).

Yes... If we can't see explosions, the game don't crashes when someting explodes... LOL!

But I liked the fact that now some more work is done regards sound. These crashes are really "BIG" bugs, and easy to solve.

Exactly, if they just hot-fix the explosion issue, this patch would be a really great patch, a lot of improvement on my system!

Lower FPS, more sound bugs for me...no hurri MGs, 109E3 cannon "echo" effect, Colors are much worse(last beta was very nice).
Lots more stutters than last beta patch.

How long have we waited for this patch? 3-4 months?

I'm thirsty Luthier, and I demand that you deliver a frosty beverage to me immediately.

The Black Death track is much lower on FPS even set on medium or low settings.Explosions freeze the game & I have to use Task Manager to close it.
The game shows as not responding & no dump files are in the game folder .
The Colors are worse than the original & the haze effect is poor.
Thanks for the effort.

Yep good effort Luthier, but im afraid its 3 months work wasted, in future could you beta test your beta's so we dont keep having to wade through all this crap.

Hay Tree,

Mate i think for that reason i might be a good idea to have a core buch of people that the Dev's pick so they can sort out Issues and they comunicate directly with the Dev's, because when we are all doing it, alot gets lost in the forums.(white noise)

You should put your hand up mate you would have to one of the passionate ones that has a say.

But with Effects on low, the game looks kinda bad for me. No crashes or freezes anymore but you don´t see the impcats of the bullets anymore.

What's new in this patch then? The list is identical to the June release.

Forget tweaking colours, the ones from the last patch are decent enough for now, give us CPS Spitfires and revamped FM's, and some AI improvements then you can take your time on anything else.

Sorry but I was expecting something else I think, I will remain patient.
