Hi all!

I have downloaded this campaign, activated via JSGME and started german-fighter campaign.
The first mission has loaded more than 3 min, and after spawn the fps dropped lower than 1(fps)
The whole campaign is very laggy in my PC, but othet original B.A.T. missions, and careers are fine.

specs:
B.A.T. 4.2.2. hotfix 4 (WAW3)
I7-6700K
Gigabyte 1080
1TB WD red
8GB RAM

Any ideas what happened? Why? And how to fix it?
Thanks in Advance!

I also tried that campaign in BAT with similar results The Poland map in itself is a heavy one and the first mission sees a lot of action so to play this campaign you may want to tone down a bit your settings.

I've already set my video options to the lowest setting.
Slightly better but the fps is still around 1-2.
Or may I need more RAM? or better CPU and GPU?

(by the way thx for the fast reply)

Il-2 is well known to be CPU intensive so that would be the main concern followed by the GPU, on the other side being a 32 bit application from the early 2000 any PC that has enough RAM to run windows 10 will make it. Naturally the better the specs more you  can extract from the game ad run missions such as the pole campaign with a lot of planes, objects and ground activity. You can find here a few tips for your conf.ini settings

For a mid-low end my suggestion to improve FPS would be to use
:
TypeClouds=0
TexMipFilter=2
TexCompress=2
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1
Forest=2 or 1
Water=1
Effects=0

Thank you for the ini settings, it helped a bit, but the solution was the time...
IDK why it was important, but I set the start time 1-2h later, so the FPS now is about ~30.
I also noticed, big maps with a lots of units during the early hours (03-05AM) can cause fps drop.

Thank you again for help! O7

I know this is a late reply since I am rarely active here. My PC doesn't really handle the Poland map very well either from what I remember, mostly the cities is where the lag really comes in. Also, I'm not really sure when I'll do a comeback on making more missions again but hopefully this year unless I'm too busy from anything else. It would be more likely during the summer. But all that depends in the end.
