One and Out

[Ardu]

Don't know why but since I loaded Tobruk my computer has decided to allow only one mission. Then the screen becomes jumpy and obviously the frame rate or memory is somehow not as expected. I haven't changed any settings. Even if I return to earlier missions which I ran before Tobruk the same happens. I suppose I could change realism settings but I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a known fix.
The computer has always performed well at high settings in Single Player.
Thanks.

Hi Ardu,

I would suggest try these fixes in order of severity

1, clean the cache - delete the folder called cache at location: Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache (the game re-makes this folder automatically.)

2, verify integrity of game files - in Steam, go to 'properties' of the game, 'local files' tab and click 'verify...' (the files are checked and repaired as needed.)

3, uninstall/reinstall the whole game (keep your files in 'Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover' of course.)

hope it helps

Thanks for this, Bondi. Hope it helps Ardu.

I will incorporate your steps above in the Troubleshooting Guide (part of the Getting Started Guide in the EXTRAS part of the games Main Menu). Coincidentally, I found the latest 5.004 update installed normally, but I couldn’t get any Single or Quick Missions to load. I was getting a sound issue error message. Sure enough, after unsuccessfully trying exit/relaunch Blitz/Tobruk I found the Verify Integrity of Files did the trick. Who knows what I did to corrupt a sound file? Nonetheless, Steam only took a couple of minutes to go through the game files on my PC and correct the bad file.

Hey, if it worked for me maybe it will help Ardu and others.

Cheers!

Thanks to both for your quick response and encouragement. Will try this shortly.

OK, tried first and second methods. Definitely worked for about 3 missions. Then the same issues started to return, but no where as badly as previously. (Maybe it's me, too much coffee?) The best "tell" seems to be the immediate decrease in zoom speed. Then when I change focus or move my head (have TrackIR) I notice a stuttering view as opposed to the previously smooth scan.

Now for the hard part. Alternate procedure 3 is to reload the game. Hate to show my lack of basic knowledge (I should be used to public stupidity by now) but I assume I do this in Steam. I see where I can delete the game but will I then get a menu to reload it?
Once again, thanks for your help and patience.

Hey ardu - this might be crazy talk and sorry if its totally unrelated. Do you have an nvidia graphics card? If so when you upgraded to Tobruk did you make sure that your nvidia control panel is pointing at the right .exe file after your upgrade?

I'm a 'puter numptie and was on the beta so cant recall if i had to update my nvidia control panel to point at a new .exe and not the earlier version when i started beta testing.

It could be totally unrelated but before you go and reinstall maybe check this out just in case.

And another thing to check maybe - what vsynch setting are you using? When you get the stuttering is there also screen tearing? if so then maybe experiment with the vsynch settings to see if they make a difference perhaps?

Sorry if you have already eliminated these possibilities.

Good luck - hope you get it sorted.
