Describe issues with BOB COD that need patch - for Oleg, Luthier

[Jeageri]

Hello,

I got a bug of sort to report. It happened in the earlier version too so not concerning only this patch.

My Launcher.exe gets stuck on the server search window when I try to change the server search from Lan to Internet. It happens on the click on the dropdownbox where Lan is default. After that the game appears to freeze and wont take any input, and I have to use taskmanager to close Launcher.exe. Taskmanager shows activity in Launcher.exe so it isnt a complete freeze. More detail inspection revealed that Launcher.exe is waiting reply from networkconnection/svchost.exe? IIRC (It was on the first time it happened I checked that).

I found the cause why this is happening:
When starting Launcher.exe, I was clicking other windows during Launcher loadup when desktop is still visible with the crosshair, it messes up the loading procedure of Launcher somehow.

The result is I lose the Ubi intro (can hear the sound of it but screen remains black). And after that going into multiplayer server search window Launcher gets stuck when I try to change searching servers from Lan to Internet. I can search for lobbies, but I guess they dont work as they should.

Restarting the game and/or Steam wont cure it. Reinstall will.

I can play the singleplayer missions, but its the multiplayer what I got the game for. Any help ? Installing COD for the third time now...

Specs:
Win7 64
Intel e8400 dualcore 3,4Ghz
Asus P5kpl-am mobo

Solved:
It is gpu driver setting which is causing the freeze. In ati CCC using override application settings screws it up, the other settings: enhance application settings and application settings works just fine... nothing to do with things mentioned above.
Weird though how gpu settings can cause such a thing to happen...

A blocked static port will cause the altimeter to freeze at a constant value.
In COD, the altimeter starts to spin upward to a higher altitude until thawing occurs. It should just freeze in place until the port thaws.

I DL the Sim Thursday night, Patched next day with the Beta Parts folder replacement. Went to 1st flight to purchase and did the dl thru Steam cuz I got tired of waiting, May 24th way too long!

I ran the default settings the game gave me and did not touch my card, it was on my profile for A10 C. Everything looked great. I decided to make a few changes and here they are. There was a big difference after the Parts Folder "Patch". COD is running smooth, no stutters and I am satisfied at this point. This is not to say there are not issues. I do see some graphics anomalies like a tile line here or there around some islands, but those are funky maps anyway. I think those are just sloppy graphics in the Sim.

Getting in a plane in MP
I do have a little trouble in multiplayer getting my curser on plane tags on the map to get in a plane. The rest of my teammates seem to have no issue. The plane labels flash up but do not stay on so I can click on them, it is trial and error until I get lucky.
Sound Controls (lack of)
Have to turn down sounds in windows speaker mixer (system tray) in win 7 cuz there are no in game controls. Must have game running to do this.

In game screen Text

Update: Hold down left alt key, right click on text screen, menu appears turn off window. You can do this on both text screens if you wish

Chat, messages, radio chatter etc. The text on the upper left and red text upper right are annoying. Looking for how to turn this off. I did do the text fix from Buchon found here:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21288

This helped but text still covers the command list and you can't read them. At least I know 4. is Help Me!

Other than these small problems, I am loving it. No real complaints. I would post my FPS but haven't gotten around to finding how to bring it up. Only had this a day and a half. Based on the performance and all it must be good.

One more thing, disappointed in the numer of multiplayer missions. 4 Dogfights and 1 coop? geeeze

Hope someone is building some MP missions soon!!!

I have had Zero crashes to date. And have hosted 8-10 players in MP

The settings below are working great for me, I believe I can still turn more to high. BTW, no overclocking on my CPU or 5970.

ATI 5970 Card Settings:
AA: Now 4x Changed from 8X Box
AF: Now 16X changed from Use App Settings
Tessellazation: Off
CAT AI: Set to Performance with Enable Surface Format Optimization Checked
MipMap Detail Level: High Quality
Vertical Refresh: Always Off
AA Mode: Quality, Super Sample AA
OpenGL: Triple Buffering Checked

In Game Settings
Resolution: 1920X1080 60 Hz
Full Screen
(Show Advanced)
Model Detail: High
Buildings Detail: Medium
Land Detail: High
Forest: Low
Visual Effects: High
Texture Quality: High
AA: Off
Anti Epilepsy: OFF
SSAO: Off
Damage Decals: High
Buildings Amount: Medium
Land Shading: Medium changed from Low

Grass: On
Shadows: On
Roads: Off

Mirror: On looks fine no apparant FPS hit

I checked the config.ini and noted the ProcessAffinityMask = 2 so we are pushing to second core? Is that good enough? I dont know much about that. why not to 3, 4 5, or 6 in my case? I hear we can turn it to 15 for 4 cores?

First off thanks for what is shaping up to be an awesome sim. I installed the beta patch and that improved the frame rate issue greatly (still a little jumpy flying low over city's). I am still having lock ups when a dialog boxes comes up (like when you select red or blue armies or setting up controls). Also when I am hosting after a short time the throttle and clickable dash stops working on the ME 109. I don't have this problem with the spit but it is very consistent on the 109. This dose not seem to happen when I go to someone elses sever. Hope this helps.

Sorry if already posted

1) Revi gunsight not calibrated on 109, shoots low and a little to the left.

2) Annoying landing gear sound effect when spawning into grounded a/c in mp.

3) TrackS do not seem to work if edit view is selected.

4) Still getting stutters at altitude ie 4000m onwards, which persist even after losing height.


Thank you & S`

roll royce merlin engine doesn't smoke anymore? and no more problem with négative G

1) I simply can't enable grass, well not properly anyway. When I enable it I just get weird blocks for grass as shown in the attachments
I'm running Windows 7 btw so its not the XP grass bug
2) No matter how high I set landscape options, at ground level they look like mush, not the nice 3D-ish textures I've seen in some screens.
3) Self casting shadows don't seem to work at all for me. When I enable shadows there is no difference, just the il2-1946 style gradual dimming. You can see this in the screens I posted.

As mentioned before I'm running Windows 7 with an ATI 5770 if that's any help

[LcSummers]

I dont know if posted here, but with the beta patch disabling the Spitfire mirror gives me some fps more.

If posted sorry and forget it.
