Brief description: 

   Low GPU usage  (30-45%) in game, sometimes it creaps up to 60-70% for a short time only and then goes back down again - HOWEVER - 

 

 

Detailed description, conditions:      

it goes back up to 80 - 99% GPU uasge in the Hanger and Main Menu. It's so weird... because in the selection screens

Before the last two patches my GPU was at 80-99% usage constantly in game and I was getting decent playable FPS (35-45) under load

 

Severity:

Since this low GPU usage started happening I am now getting very low FPS (18-30) for extended periods of time in game - Making it close to unplayable at times.

So I reckon it is a pretty severe problem.

 

 

[BzKBravoZulu]

And a few more pics, just to show you its a consistent, persistent problem...

 

Shouldn't it be the other way round? Full GPU usage in game - lower GPU usage out of game (In Menus/HAngers etc)

Phenom ll x4 955 3.4gh Quad

Nvid 560TI 2Gb

Brief description: Bomb sight screen not loading, just black screen. No return to any other view possible.

Detailed description, conditions: Changed with V to bomb sight inside He111 campaign mission. I got black screen with a loading indicator star on the left lower corner. Bomb sight screen did not load and pressing F1 or F2 or any other button did not change anything to the black screen. Acoustically it seems that I did switch seats but visually just black screen. ESC did not make show the exit gui.

Severity: Major for He111

Like AndyJWest reports, the bonfires are misaligned at some airfields. In Chapter 2 Operation Uranus, the bonfires at Illarionovskiy are misaligned.

 

 

Notice in the screen below that the bonfire on the right of the picture is in a storage area...hopefully not ammo.

Detailed description, conditions: FW190 Default winter Paint Skin not showing the in game Hakenkreuz. Is the only Paint without the creuz thus I think was missed during the early alpha model and still not corrected.

Brief description: Missing Glass Texture in the BF109 G2 cockpit
 
Detailed description, conditions:
 
1. In the main menu, select Quick Mission
2. Once in the Quick Mission menu, select the B109 G2 and remove the Headrest. (do not select Glass-Armored headrest.)
3. Start a quick mission. Once in game, observe the window behind the seat.
 
Results: The window at the back is missing as there are no reflections. (please see screenshots)
Expected: A glass texture should appear there.
 
Severity: Minor class bug, but it would be nice to fix it

Brief description: Pixelation of other aircraft at closer ranges.
Detailed description, conditions: I often find that when I'm closing on bogey, once I am within 300m of him he goes all pixelated. This makes it difficult to distinguish aircraft type, notably from a dead six position, as key features become totally blurred.

[Tektolnes]

Looks like clouds + badly implemented SSAO which causes that shimmering pixel effect. If we had proper graphic options that would be fixable on our side but until Mother Russia decides to either give us those options or fixes their crappy SSAO we're stuck with this.

Serious texture flicking like black shadows on plane and landscape, whilst this is going on it's making the real shadows become the opposite colour. When run in window mode this problem stops.

Brief description: Aircraft skins and contrails momentarily disappearing.  

Detailed description, conditions: When turning to look at another A/C, usually at close range, the plane appears in its stock default skin for a split second, then appears if I keep eyes on. As soon as I look away and back again, the same thing happen. I've seen this in SP and MP. The same thing happened in MP with contrails. Looking straight at them, they're there about 500m above me. As I pan to look at my instrument panel, they disappear even though I still have a large part of the sky above still in my FOV

Severity: No impact on the game other than if I was using the contrails to keep track of other aircraft. It's just one of those glitches that should have been caught before official release. 

System: See signature

Brief description: Dserver warp over fires

 

Detailed description, conditions:

 

Trying the new French Dserver tonight with the mission used on the LD heavy metal server : we all noticed quite the same thing :

 

We were running a stress test for the server meaning we all regrouped at low altitude on Stalingrad, 25 people or so flying same alt on the same road with mixed planes over Stalingrad.

 

SO of Stalingrad there is a fire in this mission which seems to have been  triggered by bombing but doesn’t develop into smoke (mission setting). Flying over this we all had warpping ( FPS and connections OK but planes jumping back an forth all around)

 

For me on Ultra settings even leaving the zone the stutter went on, on High it stopped.

Additional assets (videos, screenshots, logs): The server side  wasn’t seeing any problem (ask Habu and Foxy about it if needed)

Brief description: loading of cockpit and skin textures delayed

Detailed description, conditions:

when changing from fly by view (F3) to cockpit view, cockpit instrument textures will get sharp only after 1-2 seconds (as it was in prior versions months ago). Changing from outside view (F2) to cockpit causes no problems.

When looking at other planes from cockpit view, you see the standard skin first and only then the selected (user-) skin is loaded.

Brief description: He111 stuck in Bombwindow
Detailed description, conditions: While flying the He111, at 4000m my friend and I both got the same bug, that once in the bombardier station, and you want to exit again( V), you are always stuck in this Window. My friend got stuck in the map, I got stuck in the Bombardier window. You can still fly but I saw everything through the scope, he saw the map.
