Download it, installed it, had a look around, FPS samey for me, new sounds nice (especially G.50 engine sounds and breda safat MG sounds). More bugs introduced than fixed though, see ya'll when the "real" patch is out, good luck with the beta testing.

Haven´t installed yet, but i´m thinking that anybody that touched conf.ini to mannually asign cores should set that to automatic???

Yep, sums it up nicely. Back to RoF.

Thanks, downloading now.

New build here, I7-E 3960X six core @ 4,6 GHz, 16 GB ram, GTX 680 ETC, re-installed Il2 CoD earlier and am looking fwd to trying this patch.

Yay.

Patch notes and user feedback is leaving me feeling rather underwhelmed.

Certainly doesn't sound like the game changer i was hoping for.

Just tried online and had the dreaded CTD after 20 mins on my first sortie.

It used to be about 45mins and now its 20mins so that's improved then....6 months for this?

Stutters worse.
FPS slightly improved but no clouds so im guessing that's the improvement.
Ground textures worse.
Blurry dials.
Sound odd.
Plane textures on 109 all blocky.
Particles cause MAJOR FPS drop STILL.

But by far the most disappointing aspect is the online CTD is NOT FIXED!!!

Agreed.

disappointed just doesn't quite express it.

The skins of the aircraft have lost their beautiful faded texture, I cannot seem to recapture it with the weathering slider.......paint still chipped, but paint jobs themselves look like they just left the factory at Castle Bromwich or Fiat.
It is now all I can do to even catch a CR-42 in a Hurricane
Nice uptick in FPS but at the expense of clouds. Occasionally it seems I will lose my tracers?
I haven't really noticed the decrease in resolution of the pits, not sure why this is being reported. Driver issue?
Wingmen still recalcitrant when it comes to following orders.
Huge FPS drop when you damage a plane in front of you with your guns. I never noticed that before.
Very difficult much of the time to see through the new prop texture.
All in all, not sure there is alot to cheer about. It seems most of the things they wouldn't release the patch about a week ago are still here.
I think alot of people might find this a little confusing...............
Positive side:
AI very aggressive now in quick missions.
Shadows do not shimmer anymore.
Hurricane & Spit now overheat if you push them.
No crashes (never had them )
Nice bump in FPS (wasn't a problem on my rig before though)
Anyone tried taking off in the Blenheim yet?
