IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Anounnced with 128 player multiplayer

I've had a few test flights and am not currently feeling the love...

Maybe I've been playing FSX too long or just can't see who would play this game with 2 joysticks..

Any advice out there for me to appreciate what's been done with the game?
 
Ok , what is the verdict on this game as it stands today ?

Is it playable over land ?

Is it worth the money ?

Any other thoughts on it welcomed
 
Yeah , but if they aint a bunch of money grabbing gits
I might only have to pay for it once ...........
Unlike ED who make you pay twice for the same thing


Anyone got any opinions on the game itself , preferably notfrom some noob end minion of Eagle Dynamics

I just got a 6870 so I could play BF3. Thought I'd give this a go aswell, I had bought it but performance was rubbish.

There's no one playing online? Found 1 lobby, that's it. It's saturday night and no one is playing, the game is dead then I guess.

Also is it usual for performance in London to be literally non existent. The game didn't even load any textures, just a black screen. Performance over dover is good though. Odd.

Anyway if anyone wants to play I'd love to get my moneys worth from this game so reply if youre interested :)
 
If its a £5 on the next steam sales I might pick it up. Its one game I want to really get into as I played the orginal to death but from what I have read its still broken and oleg has abandoned it.

Plenty of people playing online whenever I look, no one uses lobbys though, just browse the servers. ATAG is a good one and is also available via Hyperlobby I believe.

Makre sure you have anti-epilepsy filter and SSAO turned off, and delete the intro movie too as it's a known bug that it locks ATI cards into a low clock speed which is obviously detrimental to game performance,

They're currently doing a big overhaul of the graphics engine which is supposed to increase FPS be 'no less than 50%', obviously wait and see on that though :)

err how does one delete the intro movie, is it in a folder called intro movie?


I'll go and have a look.
 
C:\Steam\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI\Logo.wmv

Obviously C: will depend on where you have it installed, just delete or rename the file and be aware that steam will re-download it if you verify the game files and when any patches come down.
 
Dano I'm having no luck finding servers.

In hyperlobby atm there is 1 other person in the cod room. When I load the game and click lobby I usually find 1 server at most. If I click client then click refresh, nothing happens. Am I not seeing the servers?
 
For less than the cost of an aircraft (singular) addon for FSX it's worth the money, just please remember that it does it have it's issues.
