New beta patch, good things/bad things
 
Good things:
Improvements in sounds, we now have outside/inside cockpit sound.
Auto prop-pitch in E-4

Bad things:
Explosion freeze game bug obviously
The colour tweaks, why oh why?!! They were great before IMO.
109 cockpit colours/contrast(?) is now horrible, also IMO.

Short list so far but I'd like to hear what the rest of you guys think.

If you dive your aircraft now breaks apart :D

New colours, like them :D (EDIT: well not sure now)

I dont like the colors
I dont like the new croshair in the BF109 = Arcade , i want the old one back
I do like the new sounds :-)
I do like the cockpits color

I cant start the G50 it seems that the hud and the control levers are moving in a wrong way
Some Objects (houses,trees etc... ar missing when playing campaign)
+

Did the BF109 had auto propitch anyway ? if it had it.. then its fine if not why implement it. I stick to the manual PP auto pp just sucks imo.... ok the E4 had it lol i forgot .

Oh and the spit MK2A is stil ufo plane vs BF109
FM of BF109 needs also to be histroy correct .

I dont like the crosshair reticle its had the soft projection haze taken away.
Sound is still breaking up on the merlins when i have just started up.
The game crashes everytime without fail when i try to take off.

Using the Nvidia Beta patch.

I´m hating so much the new cockpit colors :)

Sven 10-05-2011 08:04 PM

I like new colours
Improved sounds are good too
Level bombing improved + 1 !
Performance on my rig has become smoother, but not much FPS gain.
Auto prop pitch
New lighting is good, no more smoke inside cockpit

Only thing I don't like is the lock up when an explosion on solid ground happens.

Installed this beta patch over the previous one, and prior to installing I cleared out the Cache of the game.

Good thing - It downloaded fairly quick

Bad thing - It porked the game completely

Good things, erm none for me. Sound more stable maybe.

Bad things, stutters are back, game freezes on explosions when a 'plane is destroyed and for no reason at all online, landscape colouring worse, also cockpit colouring.
Lighting for time of day seems different. 6.00am was quite dark, now is more like 10.00am, depending on time of year of course, but from patch to patch very different.

Going to the pub now, coz I'm a bit fed up.

It's a BETA, don't assume it'll make your game runs better. Expect that when you download the final patch.

We have the MAJOR explosion bug, but after saw that, i decided to test the evolving new sound engine, and it's starts to sound really good! :cool:

Iam aware its a beta, I purchased the Alpha, Your right the sound is better, but thats as far as it goes for me, the new beta murders my FPS by 50%. Ive spent hours this evening doing fresh installs, new driver, old drivers, but its the patch, I roll back to the last patch no problem, new patch kills my game.
