quick impressions of the patch;
the stutters are finally gone, as advertised!
there appears to be an fps improvement but i am not sure as this could be a placebo effect from the elimination of stutters.
the game is finally playable over land. i tested this with the quick bomber intercept mission over london. before patch game would stutter violantly over land, regardless of settings. now it is smooth as it should be as long as my frame rate keeps up.
people still complaining about stutters either;
1, did not patch properly.
2, are confusing stuttering with data loading and or low fps.
to test for stuttering load up the quick mission intercept over london. turn off trees and set buildings to low. ensure you are achieving at least 30 fps and allow the game a moment to load the map and objects.
there should not be any stuttering.
on a side note, this is not the ultra optimization patch! this is just to eliminate stuttering with a slight fps boost. the real patch is the one that puts the rendering engine on it's dedicated core instead of cramming everything into one core. this will double your fps to whatever you are getting now!
tested on i7 @ 3.84ghz / gtx 580 stock clocks.
1080p w/ max settings but trees off and buildings to low to check for stuttering.
