Just saw on the Russian forum where B6 has set up a new folder for Beta testing only. No discussions, just reporting and recommends not to join the discussion unless you want to beta test. Violators will be "strictly punished".

Wonder if that will also make it to the 1C forum?

Looks like they are trying to cut through the crap and get meaningful results without parading through the horse do-do.

Looking forward to "late this evening".

Cheers.

Conducted extensive studies have shown that the crash launcher were often associated with "not officially supported by the" weather module. The study of a number of custom missions on some servers found that people are very extensive use of this supplement. We have temporarily disabled it, and maybe it will avoid a lot of crash.

The study also showed that a disproportionate number of crash comes at a time when the users in the background, open web-browser with Flash video, or audio (eg, YouTube). We recommend that you temporarily close your browser, or at least, any tabs open flash video or audio during game play.

The effects have been completely rewritten. Set on medium settings can significantly increase the average FPS on most machines without much effect on image quality. Note that this setting also affects the appearance of clouds.
It has been many changes in the flight model, and the work is still ongoing. Please note that the overall performance of the British aircraft much closer to what you want, but the information shown on the gauge boost, is now incorrect.

Known issues: temporarily disabled the shadows of the clouds, hits decals may appear incorrectly, and some effects, such as stall, pierced by water and oil radiators, also temporarily disabled. Some of the radio commands to the TAB-menu does not have a translation into Russian.

Remember that the main purpose of this version of the patch - and fix the remaining errors, leading to the crash. Please continue to send ogy and dumps on the ishevchenko@1cpublishing.eu

Please include in your log konf.ini (Log = 1), and, after the fall of the game, send us your log file, as well as any crash-dumps, which will appear in a folder in the main cppdump Katale game.

Installation is desired to clean the official version. To obtain it in the library, click on the name of the game / properties / local files / Check the integrity of the cache ...

This is a google translation, B6 might be able to do better :)

BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - August 3, 2012
Quick patch notes

Extensive investigation showed that crashes were often connected with the not officially supported weather module. Examining some user-made missions from some online servers showed that people were using the functionality extensively. Weve temporarily disabled it which appears to resolve a large number of online crashes.

The investigation also shows that a disproportionately large number of crashes happens while a web browser with a flash video or audio (such as youtube) is open in the background. We recommend temporarily closing your web browser, or at the very least any tabs with open flash audio or video, while playing the game.

A Effects setting was thoroughly rewritten. Setting Effects to Medium will greatly increase average FPS on most machines without greatly affecting visual quality. Note that this setting also affects the visual appearance of clouds.

Many changes to the Flight Model were made, and the work still continues. Please note that the general performance of the British aircraft is much closer to desired envelope, but the information shown on the Boost gauge is scaled incorrectly at the moment.
Known issues: temporarily disabled cloud shadows again; hit decals may appear glitched; some steam effects like punctured water radiators and wing vortices also temporarily disabled.

The main goal of this version of the patch is, once again, to locate and fix any remaining crash bugs. Please continue sending in your logs and crash dumps to ishevchenko@1cpublishing.eu

Please enable logging in your conf.ini (Log=1). If the game crashes, send us the log file it creates in your [My Documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder, and any .dmp files created in a cppdump folder under the main game installation.

We recommend installing the patch on top of a clean steam installation. To ensure your steam install is clean, please right-click the game in the steam library, and select Properties Local Files Verity Integrity of Game Cache.

Now I forgot: how is it exactly I install the patch? I unpack it to a folder and let it overwrite stuff, but which folder?

Extract the contents to your [Program Files]\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ Folder. (It already contains the folder structure and should automatically put the file into the \parts\core\ subfolder or if youre using some weird extraction method, please put the file there manually)

I did a complete reinstall and it seems to be working fine .... some old querks are still there (for me at least) Had to set every thing up again and my bomb bay door "toggle" did not work right. I.e. I hit the key combo fo open doors and it opend and closed them at the same time. Tried reseting them and reassigning them in game .... real funny .... didn't work. Will try OUT side of game.

But it seems rather nice other wise .... BUT, if they are not going to FIX the bloody mirrow, why not just take it out? Almost feel they'll give us a cup holder before they fix that ...... Sorry, just a pet peeve .... :ind:

Sorry, just a pet peeve .... :ind:

Pet peeves are fine. Mine is the lack of high cloud formations. I had some peculiar controls glitches last night, in that I had to go into controls and click 'apply' before anything worked. Also my FFB was borked. Today both problems have disappeared. Bloody weird if you ask me.
