Known Issues

  • VR users may see some vertical ‘jittering’ when looking at distant clouds - This is a priority issue, and we are currently working to resolve it.
  • There are Anti-aliasing artefacts visible under some conditions when clouds are low on the horizon
  • The lighting effects on the clouds, especially when the sun is low on the horizon is still very much a WIP, and will be improved.
  • Currently as part of the initial release, clouds do not affect LOS for the AI.
  • The legacy fog effects are not suitable for use with the new clouds - a new fog layer using the new technology will follow.
  • Thunderstorms and lightning effects will follow in future updates.
  • Using SLAM/AGM-65E alongside targeting pod can in some circumstances result in some ground units becoming semi-transparent to the targeting pod. This is currently a priority item to resolve.
  • We have greatly improved many of the visual effects, and some tuning of brightness still remains to be completed.
  • Night vision goggles do not provide sufficient illumination with no moonlight.
  • Dedicated server window can hang when minimised.
  • MP. Ping info missing (always zero) in player’s list.

Le AI purtroppo continuano a vedere nelle nuvole…
Credo sia invece il momento per tutti di prendere The Channel appena esce la Sale.
Io prenderò la nuova campagna Wolfpack per il 47 che si preannuncia epica…

Ma questa patch non è ancora uscita, vero? Perchè ho provato con l’exe dell’update dalla cartella bin, e il gioco parte senza chiedere di effettuare ulteriori aggiornamenti.

Idem

Esce intorno alle 18 credo…poi i server andranno in bomba e se ne riparla in serata…

ho clickato sul link, ma non trovo alcun riferimento alla 2.7… :thinking:

edit: aggiunta adesso in coda.

comunque non fa riferimento al damage model del BF109, o sbaglio? :grimacing:

è uscita. Sto scaricando…

Ti risulta siano poco più di 2 GB da scaricare?

a me ne ha scaricato subito 1 gb… poi è partito un altro update da 10gb… ma dipende dai moduli che possiedi (vedi mappe).

Ah capito

Gasp…

Consider switching to stand alone…

Yes, you can transfer modules bought on steam to standalone (but not the other way around).

I must admit that Channel map is getting more interesting with this latest update, Biggin Hill added, mmm…
