Good Boy!
Just want to re-state something I posted in the beta thread....
"Although max FPS is down AVG is definetly higher and more consistent with much smoother gameplay.
At least for me! I ran in 6048x1080 last night for a while and its finally playable with all settings on max with 2xAA. AVG 30FPS and lows 24 and max 80 in ATAG. With the last official patch (which I tried again back to back) I struggled to get 18FPS out of it so they have definetly done a lot of work on the code for that kind of improvement."
There's almost a 100% improvement (30vs18 )... maybe they were talking about a 50%+ improvement for average FPS all along and it was nothing to do with MAX.
This would make sense if you ask me! Whats the point of having double the FPS if it still stutters or shoots from single digit to 100FPS. I have definitely noticed an improvement in smoothness and minimum FPS and a nice increase in AVG FPS. P.S. My Max FPS went down too.
Another thing you may have missed during your break...
1. The .net files have had some MS security updates that have been proven to introduce issues including stuttering and crashes. By repairing .net files it removes these updates and appears to fix a couple of the issues with CTD.
2. The ini files between versions also seem to have some subtle differences and deleting them (after backing them up for control settings etc) from both the CLOD steam directory and 1C softclub folders and doing an integrity check in steam to replace them and reset your game to a clean state fixes some issues also.
3. Deleting the cache files too in the 1c softclub cache folder also helps between versions
