Periodic, short duration,  sound stutter in multiplayer.  Very brief. Lasts about a second.

Haven't played in months, updated the game via Steam just now. If I set the game to run fullscreen with anything less than native resolution (4K for me), I get a black screen and il2.exe shows as not responding in Task Manager. I can run 4k fullscreen, or any other resolution in Windowed mode.

Unfortunately this prevents me from using AMD's driver-based upscaling, RSR. My rig isn't fancy enough to just run in 4k and still look good, and I sure don't want to play in Windowed mode. Turning off RSR has no effect, so it certainly seems to be an issue with fullscreen and non-native resolutions.

For now I'll probably just run at 4k and turn down rendering in-game, but it looks and performs much worse.

Been a while since I missed with any of that but doesn't it have to be out of full screen to use any other resolution except for native?

Apparently that's true, now. It happily ran in 1440 on my 4K monitor a few months ago.

Hello, I have a problem:
 
The sound frequently becomes corrupted during missions. The problem always occurs after prolonged use. In other words, the sound works fine at first, but after a while it becomes corrupted, and the only possible solution is to exit the game and restart it.
 

Thank you and best regards.

I have added a video clip with corrupted sound from the game IL-2 Sturmovik. If anyone has any idea how to fix it, I would be very grateful. So far, the parent company has not given me a solution. Thank you very much, and best regards.

I cannot hear other planes flying by or bullets whooshing past me from the cockpit like I used to in older IL2 titles. I'm surprised the issue isn't mentioned here. I found some comments about this by other players through google, but couldn't see any solution posted, if any. Considering the game and the devs are so active, has anyone mentioned if they're going to fix this someday? Is it even on their radar?
