    Mastiff, thanks, what should I run in high? Even the nvidia drivers from last spring caused that windows color error. Should I run land detail AND land shadows on high? Right now land detail is high,land shadows low,

    ,,also IMPORTANT question, you see my pc specs above, do you think my CPU could handle a nvidia Titan 6 gig, and do you think that card would handle the colors/performance better? I realize my card is getting dated and. 99 percent sure I will get the Titan card next month, for other games too, seems like a great card as long as my CPU ( AMD 1100T 6 core at 3.8 ) can handle and make use of all the info the high end card generates, thanks.

    Re: Missing gunsights/blurry terrain

    Re missing gunsight graphics in the Me109, very strange, but flew 5 seperate missions, single player quick mission, bomber intercept over calais, it seems this happens (and some graphic stutters upon shooting up a Blenheim) only when Im playing an later 109E with 17 mm mgs, and 20mm cannons, when I play an early me109 with only the 17mgs and no 20mm cannones, the graphics seem fine, no stutters and no missing recticle. In any event, the missing gunsight only happens once, but will freeze one to two seconds, reappear, and then is solved... just an observation. I did turn most every graphic setting to high, left textures to high not original, grass road etc on, land detail high, shadows high, and wierd but the game seems to play better graphically then when turning things down. Amount of buildings is high, not very high, building detail set to high as well, or very high, have to check.

    This is a strange bug indeed and I remember getting it sometimes even back in the vanilla/stock Clod days.

    Most of the optimizations we made have been with high settings in mind, so even though I agree it's a bit weird selecting a higher setting actually do increase FPS on some systems

    The new patch hasn't changed anything about this unfortunately..

    Re: Missing gunsights/blurry terrain

    Well, I'm sure it will be dealt with in the future. Overall, I think the new patch is outstanding. It has certainly brought me back into the game and I've been playing it at least 4 to 5 hours a day since it's release. All but two settings are set to the highest possible, buildings are not got unlimited and are at high, and textures are at high not original. I am getting outstanding frame rates bolstering dogfights and flying low over land, much much better than before.

    Done it, twice, with and without the mod.

    In any case I seem to have found at least a partial fix by switching the renderer from Direct3D 10.0 to 10.1 or 11.0. Doing so gave me a few visual artifacts and a frame rate drop (probably because now LOD-appropriate models and textures are being loaded) but at least the game's playable. I can live with it for the most part, but the nights look really weird, oversaturated, overbloomed. Applying the patch seems to aggravate it:

    I had exactly the same problem with the target reticle and low resolution, which seemed to only be fixable by your fix of changing the renderer to Direct3D 10.1 in Conf.ini in the Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD folder. But this was unstable for me, as after a few missions, the game started crashing to desktop during the loading screen at the start of a mission. I disabled Vsync and so far so good... otherwise the only way to recover was to delete the Conf.ini file... which required setting up the joystick again.

    Thankyou Leandro, after many hours of trying to fix this annoying problem, yours was the only one that led in the right direction.

    Not sure if every thing is good yet but so far so good

    This happens almost only with people who have laptops with integrated videocards. It seems connected to the Mseries of videocards... God knows why! :/
    I have seen it over and over again. 99% of the time that is the issue.

    Yep, you,re right, I have a laptop with a Nvidea videocard, and to those of us who have them, I think I may have stumbled on a solution to this problem.

    I wish to report that I've been paying quite a few missions today with no crashes to desktop, and my frame rate seems to be much improved with very good resolution. Changing the Renderer to Direct3d 10.1 fixed the blurries and disabling the Vsync has stabilized the system and improved performance.... There is very little info out there about this problem.

    I'm still getting a strange graphical line when over the ocean. It appears in the simulation more than 10 miles away and looks like a big pier in the distance, and appears to maintain that distance in a circle around the plane. If that's the worst graphics glitch, I can live with that.

    I thought that was just an AMD problem but apparently not ! No it's a known issue I managed to improve mine with a driver update.

    Hello Everyone !

    Im new here, stumbled across this topic, I HAVE a fix.

    I fixed this problem by entering the BIOS of my laptop,you can look up how to do this on Windows 8 anywhere on the internet.

    In This BIOS you have to change the RAM used by your integrated graphics, mine went from 64mb to 512mb (maximum).
    Warning : DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT SURE OF !

    After that, a reboot, and Clod worked a treat.
    Hope this works for you all,

    Salute,

    @ Rowns,
    if your laptop has a graphiccard which used shared memory this could maybe help.But if your laptop has a seperate graphiccard is has his own ram and cannot be changed.What type of laptop is it what you have?

    I have mac book pro with windows 7 on it. I have a intel HD 4000 graphic card. But just because I have a mac I can't get in the bios of windows 7. So I can't fix this problem.

    Sad enough it doesn't I also found that, but it didn't work.

    Edit: Maybe the last post of that link you gave can help me, I think I have older driver versions on my pc.

    Re: Missing gunsights/blurry terrain

    Sorry for bringing out older thread but...

    I thought it was just my graphics with playing on laptop, I learned to live with smudged/blurry gun sight reticle/crosshairs.

    Last night however I ventured onto another empty server to try flying other planes... Jumped in a G50, gunsight illumination was crisp and clear. Then jumped in a Stuka, same again, crisp and clear. So I jumped back into Spitty then Hurricane and those two I had blurry/smudged gunsight reticle.

    This is annoying me now as I learnt to live with it but if it works ok on some planes why doesn't it work ok on all of them for me.

    Can't be graphics issue because it would be the same on all of them.

    I would appreciate it if someone would share a definite solution for this as it must be common.

    I did all the installations as prescribed and didn't mess about with any config files. I cleared cache, that does not fix it. Thanks.

    I have to try that, if that really works, then the they can maybe fix this problem.

    Edit: I did try it and he has right. The gunsight of the G50 works.

    Edit2: Also I just found out(it took me only 1 month or so) that I did press primary illumination instead of gun illumination So instead of not having a crosshair I have a blurry gunsight.

    Re: Missing gunsights/blurry terrain

    So, I've been trying various things and my gunsight is still blurry in Spits and Hurricanes...

    I tried to adjust Renderer in config.ini but I put "D3D10_1" as suggested above in this thread and my game would not launch at all.

    at the moment Renderer is set as standard as "D3D10_0"...

    Seems this is a common issue with some people and yet no one knows a definite fix

    Re: Missing gunsights/blurry terrain

    Since no one has been replying to this with any viable solutions I've been checking this further...

    So on various servers the intensity of the blur is different... weird.

    For example on big campaign servers the blur is far more noticeable then on smaller ones, eg. Dogfighting small map server. My gunsight reticle was perfect when training last night in one on one dogfights on private lobby with couple 306 chaps.

    Still non the wiser why this is, my only explanation, I don't have the technical knowledge, problem with available memory? I have 16gb RAM though.

    Chances are that it is.
    16GB is the CPU ram, you would need 1.5GB in the video card (GPU) ram.

    The problem is more that people run the game on laptops that are not meant to be running games that require a heavy graphic load.

    I respect your view... I do run it on a laptop... However, the quality of the gun sight reticle is inconsistent across the servers and across the airplane models. If laptop vs desktop was the only reason, would it not be consistently bad quality?

    If someone with the technical know how can explain how it works it would be cool... I'm not asking for an essay
