DD today?

[SYN_Mike77]

I've updated my drivers and tried a fresh install and still get hard freezes since the migration.  When I reboot my computer there is nothing in the crash dump collector to send.  The sad thing is, the game is much smoother than ever while it plays.  Also since the update and clean reinstall I have to turn off the cinematic camera effect, and uncheck the seed when down load option every time I log on.  Same with turning off the music.  I'm just about to throw in the towel on this game.

Something corrupted locally. The game isn't doing that, it would happen for everyone if that were the case - for the camera and seed option having to be set each time.

[Jade_Monkey]

Yeah the game has some bugs but that sounds like its on your end. Not everything is the games fault.

 

Its also very hard to make a game work 100% of the time with the infinite combination of hardware and software out there.

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Do you guys use sweetFX, reshade or anything of the sorts ?

I haven't reloaded since the switch to 64 but it makes the game even jucier on the graphics. It is well worth it. I justs havent found the time. Probably this weekend. There is a thread with good info on installation and a few profiles to choose from depending on which version of SFX you choose.

 

Highly recommended.

I know and I use it since long time. I asked because I have a theory that sweetFX makes your game crash more often... maybe ?

Nope. Been using it since day one and my game has never crashed.

I had conflicts with the Teamspeak overlay, but nothing wrong with reshade/sweetfx.

[Jade_Monkey]

Yes the upgrade to 64/bit and the teamspeak overlay didnt go well. Crashes stopped when i unions the overlay.

Thats why its a theory.... Anyways, there's a lot of versions of sweetFX that currently work with BoS, do you mind telling me what version are you using ? I'd like to test to see if I get different results.

Using Reshade 2.0.  No problems whatsoever.

[Rjel]

Mike77, does the game crash both when you login online as well as offline? I've only had the game drop since the patch when my internet connection glitches, even momentarily.

[SYN_Mike77]

both in MP and SP. Acouple of people seemed to think my other problems (always resetting to seed on download, cinematic camera effect and resetting the sound to default every time I log on) would suggest a bad download.  So I did a more complete delete ( including an old copy of Ilya Moromets that was in the 1C folder as well as deleting the whole company folder)  The game doesn't automatically reset to seed on download but I won't be able to check other things till tomorrow.  Wish me luck!

[216th_Xenos]

Mike, do you have any overlays open when you start BOS? These are currently known to crash the game.

Guys, this is for News not for troubleshooting

If that's written in azbuka and capital letters,it reads "puet" which might be some strange sound cats do. Not a specialist on cats though

Yeah, I did learn Russian in school, and at first I head no clue what Puet means.

You are not making grumpy Soviet cats happy!

Maybe a list of new bugfixes or progress on DD 120??

[Livai]

DD 129 today??? Any Ideas about the topic? Maybe a talk about BoM finial release or how about the next project the pre-order thing.

[Livai]

What a day is today should we not expect some input today? A DD 129 or something more interesting what is called their next project be pre-prepared for the next pre-order thing. Is this day now just a delusion to expect nothing? With every day where we not hear from them something maybe they run out of ideas? Just a speculation...... 

 

[I./ZG1_HeTzeR]

I hope something comes up today :/ 

[Jade_Monkey]

I hope they show us something although i wouldnt be surprised if they dont until full BOM release (which should come soon?)

[6./ZG26_Emil]

I'm not sure there is anything left to show...or is there?

 

Given how cagey they are I don't even think they are likely to give a release date until they are 100% sure they can make it.

 

I would love to hear some news/any news though!

[Trooper117]

Well I don't expect to see anything yet... they said 3 weeks in beta... so we should have at least another week?

 

I certainly don't think they are 'out of ideas', my bet is that they have had an idea for the next installment for quite some time, but are stating they don't, simply to shut us lot up  

[6./ZG26_Emil]

P.S for me BOM is already released it's brilliant even in Beta. I haven't flown on a BOS map or in a BOS plane since the Moscow map was released

I will concur with this 100%.

I'm sure you have on that wonderful bom only server, what's it called again....

Most of us have probably got a shopping list of features still to be added, or place-holders to be replaced with the real thing. My own personal list is topped by more MP modes (they're in there in placeholder form in the ME) and fixes for the broken MP AI (not an issue for pure DF furballing, obviously, but crucial for other approaches to MP).

 

I was impressed when the Devs said in a diary that one of the reasons they'd decided to do the Moscow map (and indeed the Stalingrad map) was because it offered something new, something not done before in map-making (in Moscow's case, the whole city visible in game, as well as those bodies of water on different levels, locks, bridges, etc). So,  the announcement they'll make this afternoon of a Malta map   means they want to take on modelling the ancient Valletta harbour, thrilling Gladiator dogfighting and RN carrier ops. 

 

I'll say that again: Carrier Ops!

31 March 2016 - 17:56 was the day and time where the 64-bit beta stuff was rolled out. Now add to this 3 weeks. The calculation says that the 3 weeks are more than over.

The silence is deafening, particularly after how good the communication has typically been.

[Jade_Monkey]

Sometimes they say there will be no update. It's a nice gesture, that way we dont have to keep checking if we are anxious.

[ShamrockOneFive]

I'm guessing we're on the final stretch? Probably why there are no updates.

[Feathered_IV]

I remember the old times with Maddox Games where six to eight months would go by after a release date had slipped and you hardly knew if the team were alive or dead. This is a doddle by comparison.

[BlackSix]

Yes, that's right. We're very busy with preparation and testing of the final version BOM.
