BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012

[ramstein]

I think . IMHO, a real stinker was let out of the barn, and it shocked people,, people had higher expectations... and now they need to say what they think...
sure, we send in our dmp files... but people are a bit upset when everything went bad instead of better..

Same results here, Baron.
I went to the Steam properties for the game and validated the game files, which brought the game back to the unpatched version, then it started fine, but I cannot get the game to start at all (other than the reticle) with the patch installed.
I even deleted the cache and defragmented the cache using the options in Steam.
This is just a bit frustrating!!
Looks like I'll be waiting for a patch to the patch to come out to fix the problem with the new version not starting at all!!

Not good enough Insuber,

My tests with the previous patch showed that the memory leak happens slowly while my airplane flies over new ground territory - new airplanes and while I zoom-in/ zoom-out.

Depending on the situation [never managed to understand when] the PC-RAM will increase [and afterwards decrease] or, it will increase and stay increased.

Therefore, if you leave the plane flying over the same path (loop a recording) or parked on the ground, it is unprobable that the memory leak will occur.

My 2cents - sorry for being a spoiler...

Sorry - BAD, BAD JOKE!
(too difficult to resist...)

I saw Radeon HD 6770 1gb, I am so afraid that it is the VRAM issue.
Have you installed something to monitor your available VRAM? I am sorry I am an NV guy thus can not offer advice on SW for ATI.

The fact that it played well in the beginning and crapped out 24hrs later is still unexplicable.
It can ofcourse be the famous bug that switches your card in power saving mode...
(again you need a SW to monitor this as well as your VRAM usage...)

They released it to shut people up who were screaming for the patch; now look where we are.

Ridiculous.

lmao ..figured someone would respond this way.

pc is far from crap .. other flight sims and games play no problem only this software that runs very poor and i wasted my money.

last post here farewell.

I am in the same boat as you.
I have gone from 2-3hrs without CTD to 10minutes just about every time.
I have spent my whole Sunday trying this and that.
ie.
Deleted Cache folder - it re-built on start
Re-installed ATI graphic Drivers & CCC
Re-installed old Driver
Disabled Steam 'in-game' overlay
Disabled Steam 'synch to Cloud'
Monitored Graphics card temp & activity
Disabled 'sound=0' in conf
Disabled TrackIR
Disabled CH Manager
Substituted files here & there...


Whatever it is ...it happens in 10-15mins when only in the air...on ground is okay...was sitting for over 1hr on ground engine running.
Though it does NOT happen in Single Player

When I returned to last patch...all was good.

Any ideas ppl??
