Game version 1.005 discussion

[Yakdriver]

works fine for me at the moment.

[Comes]

Have the same problem. Wondered why I did not unlock anything new for the Stuka after 5 or 6 successful Missions. Checked the Profile Page and the XP were still the same

[Jade_Monkey]

I had a slightly different issue. The xp was given to me and the xp bar went beyond the white cat skin unlock in the lagg, but the unlock didnt happen.

I exited the game, came back in and the skin was unlocked.

 

So all good over here.

 

I still see some planes randomly having a stroke and falling dead from the sky for no reason. I think its funny but i can see some people taking it more seriously.

[Grancesc]

The same with me. Many successfully completed missions but no xp nor unlocks.

No progress when checking my profile page.

S!

[coldViPer]

+1

[oy_dane]

The same with me. Many successfully completed missions but no xp nor unlocks.

[Leaf]

Same issue here. I mean, I can deal with unlocks, but it's a bit annoying when you can't unlock unlocks.

[LonnyEnds]

+1 on no unlocks working

[clayman]

Same here...shot down two IL2s and shot up one more, no mention? Last night I shot down a 109 and pretty much swiss cheesed a 111, no points no mention?? Mission complete landed and all?

 

Also, two CTD. I have never had any problems until 1.05 and these ONLY happen in campaign, sucks to put in the time. Also CTDs happen at action points.

[Leaf]

swiss cheesed a 111

 

Wonderful expression! 

[Alex911]

Same problem here, same bug as 10 days ago...

Same thing, just flew a mission in the 190, shot down 2 PE2's one for sure, the other a maybe, but did not receive credit for any air victory, just mission complete.  Strange 

[Yakdriver]

i bet its a service not responding to the data we send.
and on the weekends nobody is home to monitor and debug.

[Trooper117]

Correct... the same problem many times when playing RoF.

Such is the joy of playing a game that relies on an external server for all your game files...

[Yakdriver]

There are solutions for that - i did  6 months with EBRC.com, on the analyst team.

 

The IT techs had a series of Probes programmed that checked the different services for the internal and customer infrastructure.

Every time a service did not respond (3 minute interval checks) we would get an e-mail.
and depending on the situation , we would wake someone up in the middle of the night to get the incident handled in an appropriate manner.

 

If BoS works like War Thunder - and nobody tell me this aint so - i urge the Business team to find a monitoring and incident handling solution.
Unlocks that get on our nerves and they do not even unlock, castrates the game.

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Same here, Just started the HE-111. good flight,landing no points or unlocks.

[Rjel]

Four missions in a row. Good flights, three victories and all successful landings(I'm finally getting good at landing the 109 again). No unlocks or progression in the third campaign. Disappointing.

[Blooddawn1942]

Same here. Had a sortie with the G-2. The achieved 240 points were not credited to the unlock process.

Plus, there 'should' be someone there to monitor and debug... If the system that requires us to follow the dev's design isn't functioning, there at least should be a response from a 'duty' member of staff.

 

God, I wish we could go back to the system where once you have paid for a game and it is on your hard drive, you can play it anytime you want, record your own statistics and adjust what you like (because it's yours)

Can not log in the game since yesterday. German language away. Only English and Russian.

Hi Guys,

 

Can anyone (hopefully the devs) please tell me what do these messages mean and how can I fix it or if there is a work around. It arrived more than 2 patches ago. About half the tracks wont play and it seems entirely random which tracks give these messages and which ones don't. But once it gives me that message on track, that track just won't load not matter what I try. If you could look into it when you get the chance, that'd be great... But Please, if someone can tell me if this is a big problem that'll need a long time to address or if it is just an anomaly of the optimization/bug fixing process and should be corrected soon...  I am not going to bitch about it, I just want to understand.

 

I know the tracks are not a top priority, however, since I cannot play MP atm (20fps stutter / lag in combat) I thought I'd try make some player vids to help newcomers with all the things I struggled with when I started playing 1946.

 

I just want to say that I sincerely love the sim ... It's like a pretty young girl... all elbows and knees... knowing when she grows up she'll be a heart-breaker.

 

Thanks for the effort.

 

I have no clue ..... but I thought this needed a BUMP back up till you get an answer .... no pictures in quote so ERRORS were #1000 & 1001 ....

Everyone,

 

We had a technical issue with the unlocks over the weekend. It was since been fixed and should be working. Unfortunately, we cannot retrieve the data to give you the XP you earned. We are taking steps to prevent this from happening in the future.

Zulu,

 

Try deleting the .msnbin file for the tracks that don't work. That might allow them to work again.

[IckyATLAS]

Thanks for all the fixes and fast response. Things improve a lot.

If you just could arrange that the AI pilots behind me on the runway just do not start trying to take off and crash on me if I am not fast enough or if I just move slowly. It may happen that I have to abort take off because I do not control well the plane or whatever and bang they crash on me.

well, no time...wasted... :-P

[IckyATLAS]

The window to give orders to the AI wingmates is fine but I see that my orders are not transmitted.

When I give an order I have the radio active and I can hear me the pilot giving the order there is also the text window that appears.

But this happens only once in a while. For some orders there is nothing emitted and no reaction from wingmates.

Formation orders are implemented, but the other orders (like return to base etc..) do not seem to be implemented yet.

HI all

 

There is a bug in the bf109G ammo counter fot the cannon, decrease correctly at the begining but at the middle appears full and then when you fired almost empty.

Tested 2/2 times in the second part of the campaign.

 

Best regards

[Beazil]

Darth - the counter is functioning correctly. It cycles 100 rounds 2 times.

But I unlocked everything on every plane, surely you can just credit that to my profile   

 

lol only joking 

In campaign mode, is there a punishment for shooting down team mates that kill steal?? Because I am getting real tired of this happening.

Great to see the dev team showing us their regular work !   

[radio]

Now it works correct again. Game uninstall and new install.

[Yours_truly_Ace]

Why even care for your score? This is the main problem with the multiplayer anyway; Everybody craving to get that kill, even risking shooter other team mates down just for the sake of a kill.

I see very few who actually do objectives. Everybody is just loiting over airbases to pick a fick. 

They need to fix this or the multiplayer gonna die pretty fast. I find it more and more predictable and boring.

And remove those gps icons on the map, make people have to navigate themself. If you just comes near an enemy airfield you are getting swarmed by enemies who watch the map radar and see your location.

Sadly, this is what most people (who seem to be by and large the core of the MP community, i.e. veterans) on these servers want. Such is the state also in RoF after five years. Even the expert servers over there are mostly filled with people flying solo and just looking to pick a fight instead of organising and actually doing the mission as outlined in the briefing. The airquake mentality seems to be a habit that is very hard to get rid of, and, worse, it seems to slowly creep its way into more coop minded servers. It's inevitable, Mr. Anderson. And sad.

[Trooper117]

That is the main reason why I don't fly online anymore.

Remember Hyperlobby and IL2? You could select 'co-op' server, wait for it to fill up, (sometimes just a few seconds wait) and you then get a mission orientated MP experience!

The kids, or people with their penis extension mentality could then go on their dog fight servers and let the world know how great they are...

Sadly, I suspect this will just turn out like RoF.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

There are still great peopleflying MP, namely on the Syndicate server. My most awesome expirience was a 3 Henkel wing being escorted by 5 bf109s to their target. It was awesome.

 

Unfortunately since the 32 player restriction MP is only a shadow of what it use to be. Bettdr wait until the player numbers rise again to get into it and hook up sby on TS.

 

What guys above were discussing thought was the campaign xp miscredit thought, not MP. You're still true on that

It's a good server with good veterans from Il2 1946, with good rules when they fly. They fight with respect, not vulching, not shoulder shooting, clean close combat, and help me if you can, and don't flight over enemy bases (AAA help us to not to do that). It's easy to play with pleasure with easy rules.

When server administration will possible, will be better

There is a simple solution to prevent this from happening in the future, remove the unlocks...

I agree, nice place to fly.

Problems appeared since last versions :

 

1.004 : Campaign missions resuming always show an "emergency landing" > 50% when the landing/plane is good and all the points are given. (100%)

 

1.005 : I always experience a connexion problem when on a server which restarts : "You lose connexion on the master server". Then forced to restart the game.

 

1.005 : Track IR sometimes seems to function in a less good way since you worked for old versions. I'm in TIR 5 (soft and hardware), custom profile.
