BETA PATCH v.1.07.18301 - June 29, 2012

[=AN=Apache]

Question to the devs or technical features:

Is there a better forma'de instalção?

Using the integrity check would be enough or will be advised to delete everything and download everything from scratch?

tks

I deleted everything, but thats only because I pressed the wrong button! I meant to verify cache...

Aww that sucks! Horrible time to accidentally wipe your install! I hope your connection has decent download bandwidth!

No improvements whatsoever... and even worse performance on even lower settings.

Nice to see the 109 cockpit hasn't even been fixed either.

If you do the integrity check, you will go back to the last official version (before all the recent betas).

If you uninstall everything, download and reinstall, it will also get you to the latest official version.

So, they do the same thing, but the integrity check takes less time. I prefer the integrity check

My checklist:
1) Verify integrity of local files (to get back to last official version)

2) Go to your documents\1c softclub\IL-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder and go into the cache folder. Delete everything in there (the game will rebuild it based on the new version next time you run the sim).

3) Extract the beta patch in the game folder (c:\whatever_you_named_it\steam\steamapps\common\I L-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover) and let it overwrite anything it wants to overwrite

4) Run the sim one to force it to rebuild the cache.

5) Start a free flight quick mission to force it to add anything else it might need in the cache.

6) Exit the sim.

7) Restart the sim.

Now you can test your frame rates with a clean install of the latest beta, as well as a correct cache folder for your version. If you skip steps 5,6,7 you might see that initially you get worse performance, because the game might still be adding files to the cache. However, the next time you start it, it will be better and you will get the true performance.

Thanks very much Blackdog, this looks like sound advice.

I wonder whether this could go under Black6's post so all can see it?

Yes, it's a good manual.

Look forward to hearing everyone's reports. I hope this new beta patch is a step in the right direction.

Looking at that video I didn't notice anything different about the tracers. Maybe they don't burn out so quick and you can see them a little longer? But they look very similar to me.

Blacksix - Was anything done to performance of clouds? Just want to know if we can enable them or not?
