I rebooted directly after the update - always do.  Results as posted.

 

Tried again. No good! 

 

I'm done, for this evening.

At this point, visibility and target acquisition in either 2D or VR is a hot mess.  I use a standard monitor and Track IR, and things are NOT as good as they were before the pandering to AMD users brought overall visual quality down to a barely acceptable level.   Objects that can be seen at default FOV disappearing when zoomed in, horrible "jaggy" coastlines and terrain features, even with MSAA x4 (FXAA is far worse).  The real beauty of this title is being tinkered to death. 

 

It's very frustrating, and I'm not even going to get into the DM oddities that continue to plague the sim, and the changes in weapon effectiveness from patch to patch...

 

 

 

Increased levels of jaggies are a real problem, I hope the devs can fix those.

However in my opinion the overall image quality got improved, mostly because of awesome cockpit and water reflections.

I also don't have zoom problems, maybe because I didn't check "alternative visibility" in the options.

And I like the new weapons damage model: I can now blow-up an enemy plane instantly with a hit to its fuel-tanks, which never happened before, and the wings don't fold like a cheap suit anymore.

After 4.007b the game crash random ???????? ?

 

Waiting 4.007c

Also getting lots of crashes to desktop when using single player missions and QMB.

[Yardstick]

Flown 5 QMB mission in succession (Train hunting on Rhineland in P-47) - No. 1 froze after 1 min, No. 2 completed successfully, No. 3 black screen on mission loading, No 4 OK, No 5 black screen.  Apart for the very infrequent crash (3 times ever) on long Career missions, game has always ben v. stable.

Update

[Raven109]

Same here. I enter the game world and do a restart mission. 2nd time to enter the world it crashes (QM). 

 

I ran a steam file integrity check, said it had issues with 3 files, got them, but it's still crashing. For me it's every 2nd time I re-enter the game world.

Hey guys,

 

So the Hotfix build got screwed up when it was built (Visual Studio errors it seems). That explains some of the issues (or maybe all) the issues you are currently seeing with 4.007b. The guys are working late to make a new build that works as it should.

On the plus side of things, downloaded the update... flown 3 missions on the Bodenplatte, Stalingrad and Moscow maps and no problems so far.

Thanks Jason and to the team, knew we could trust you to get any problem fixed.

[Vortice]

Many crashes to desktop here too. Never had any before, ever.

 

Oops!

 

Oh well, tomorrow will be a better day I'm sure.

[FAW_Spit]

Hi All !

Since Hotfix 4.007b
Many many Crash to Desktop... 

Something wrong in Danish Realm  

[spitfirejoe]

I had also 2 crashes today in QMB Missions. Good that they found the reason already, so just waiting for the next fix. No problem. Such things can happen.

[I./JG52_Woutwocampe]

Yeah my game crashed to desktop just a little while ago then just afterwards there was a 12mb update on steam so I'll assume its already fixed.

[Sneaksie]

Unfortunately, the code compiled incorrectly for the previous update and caused a crash when restarting a mission, so the game has been updated again.

 

1. The game won't crash when restarting a mission with tanks;
2. 155 mm howitzer M1 won't launch Horch automobiles instead of shells (yes, it was left from a debugging test);
3. Howitzer rounds should be correctly visible on their trajectory.

[Stoopy]

Glad you got a fix for the Stuka textures.   No worries if you're still addressing other stuff.  It's good night for taking a break and getting caught up with some projects in the mission editor.

 

[JG13_opcode]

My game is running 4.007c now which appears to have introduced more errors (or at least not addressed previous errors).

 

1.  The master server appears to be down/unreachable

2.  I get disconnected randomly after a few minutes in multiplayer (all servers)

3.  I have suffered a substantial FPS drop that appears to be related to particle effects (didn't change my settings but now getting stutters that were not present in 4.006)

Yes, please. I always heard having a 16 inch shell pass by sounded like a freight train and had the weight of a small car. I'd like to see this in action.

I would like this as a selectable feature for endless amusement.

Also thanks for patching things up so quick guys!

Everything works great on my side

Question? Are we ever going to see indirect projectile fire collision  with aircraft? I.e. rocket rounds, tank rounds, and artillery rounds.

[GiftZahnsSteigern]

 

It was more of an AOOOOOOOOOOGA, than the sound of a freight train. We had a good deal of fun with these ballistic Horches in the Foo Fighters thread in this sub forum:

 

 

and I posted it here:

No, no, no....these things just do not exist.

 

You probably saw the planet Venus, or a lenticular cloud formation...or the Orford Ness light house from a peculiar angle. ?

 

[Missionbug]

Hello guys, downloaded and installed the updates yesterday and today and in my case all appeared to be okay, thank you very much, really appreciated.

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

After the latest update my frame rate has halved  from around 80 fps to under 40 in VR. When I use the new zoom everything but the aircraft I’m trying to identify seems to zoom in but the aircraft itself blends in with its background and becomes even harder to see. I’m also getting lots of micro stutters whereas previously it was running smooth as silk.
 

I’ll mess around with my settings which were fairly conservative to begin with, but the game is borderline unplayable now.

Wasn't the ghost plane bug fixed a few updates ago? I was flying on wings and a 51 just popped in behind me right after she started shooting. She came from 7 o'clock slightly above right where I was looking...

It's an ongoing bug - at one point I think it was fixed but seems to have re-emerged. It's possible it has multiple causes. If you have a track of it happening I would post it in the thread in the tech issues forum.

Okay, sadly I have no track? but the bug was definitely there. Thank you for your answer?

This looks to me like Oculus asynchronous reprojection has been turned off, possible because the new Oculus software reset it.

That happened to me about a week ago.  The issue was actually that it somehow got set to forced on, instead of Auto. I went into the Oculus Debug Tool and disabled it and the framerate was normal again.

4.007c downloaded this AM.

 

Looks like it addressed the Stuka Bug and system freeze up on simulation exit.

That's great news!

[Irishratticus72]

I usually keep it to around 50 to 60 in cockpit, and around 80 to 90 in external. Having a TrackIR helps with the cockpit zoom.

I just checked and ASW is on Auto. I've changed my graphics settings to 'balanced' and there has been a small improvement in frame rate, but my graphics colours look all washed out. Sigh...

 

 

[SCG_Darbzy]

These settings have worked better now. Getting 40-80 fps. Colour looks better. Shout out to Agathos Flightschool for the screenshot.
