Regardless of what any fanboy says, it is a disgrace that a modern game is not being updated to support Windows 8.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on these forums so I'd like to say hi to everyone.

It's worth nothing that I don't play "IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover" (don't judge me, it's just not my type of game).

Anyway, my friend approached me with a issue at the end of last week regarding "Cliffs of Dover", that it was not playable under Windows® 8 so I said to him I'd have a look at it for him (I finally got around to it yesterday evening).

Good news, I have managed to get it working under Windows® 8.
When I say working I mean to the point where the game says "Steam must be running to play Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover.", this is a lot better than crashing silently to the Desktop (since I don't actually own the game I will not proceed beyond this point).

I'm just waiting on my friend to get home this evening (GMT+2) to test that the game does in fact run correctly, after he confirms this I'll release the tool to the masses.

Watch this space, hopefully you'll be back up in the sky in a few short hours.

Random user who doesn't even play the sim comes in and fixes the W8 issue in under a day, really does not inspire confidence in the devs whatsoever.
 
I'm pondering on a self-imposed Christmas graphics card treat for COD. My Current GPU is rather noisy and under-powered. Budget in the region of £400. Any recomendations on what to consider would be much appreciated.

i5-2500K 3.30GHz (@4.2)
Asus P8Z68-V GEN3 Intel Z68
OCZ ZX Series 850W
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s
Win7 Pro
500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB

PS Sorry Slap:) I'd say 7970 purely because it has more Vram which is useful for flight sims, but 2gb 680 will be good too.

Whatdoes that actually mean long-term? Theyre very different games no? I dont read russian ><
 
No, it doesn't and why would they waste time updating someone else's product, cliffs is dead in the water, get over it. Battle of Stalingrad due 2014.
 
On the one hand this sounds good. On the other I really hope it doesn't have a negative impact on the future of Rise of Flight which is an excellent sim/community.

Get over yourself! I only asked a civil question which does not seem that far fetched considering that the model Rise of flight uses in that you buy extra planes with missions included could be a viable option for cliffs if they decided too go that way.
 
You've read that wrong, it wasn't meant to be a dig or offensive. Merely stating that cliffs is dead and you need to stop expecting it to get further work. My apologies if it read badly.

No problem, I just live in the hope that one day it will realize it's potential, guess my hopes are in the hands of the community/modders now.
 
Not really, I fully expect that cliffs content will be available (just like IL2 content is available in all in's sequels) in the new Battle of Stalingrad and will see improvements via proxy as it were.
 
Could it be worse than Clod?

I bought that pile of crap on release and I'm STILL waiting to play it. It's only hope is the mod community and the improvements via proxy suggested above.
 
I’m sure most of you will agree that we have already supported our release more than perhaps any other developer in a similar situation.

I liked this bit, they want praise for supporting their own pathetic release...

The reason you've had to support the release is that YOU released an abortion of a game.

No way on earth will be buying Stalingrad in 2014 on release.

no one should buy a game without reading reviews- I wont either ;)

BUT!!! It's IL2 in name only now - RoF gfx engine, RoF physics, RoF people at the head. So dont judge them by CLoD, judge them by RoF ;)

The huge question is how ROF engine wil cope with monstrous ground war that was Stalingrad. THey do say that engine will evolve, but...
