Thank you B6 and team!
Your frequent communication with the community is very much appreciated!

I think a more common question that really needed answering is why have so many people either got a worse FPS like me or no change to their FPS? I read somewhere that it was suppose to double the FPS.

Blacksix,

your post just proves that the customers have the broken beta on their computers for last 14 months. Since the release. Actually they bought it btw..

The remaining crash bugs are hard to catch, which is why we’re actually glad it’s been crashing for you. Yes, I said glad.
It’s been crashing for us too, and in a way that makes it impossible to catch the exact culprit.

Now you want some of them to test every alpha of rewritten BoM engine. But the rest have to wait.... Did I get it right?

Thanks for the update.

No crashes for me; no crashes before the patch either.

I think it has to do with the hardware the devs are running. Most people that saw major fps increases seem to be people with older hardware. Most of us with newer stuff probably won't see as big of an improvement. But yeah worse performance boggles my mind...we should be moving forward here, not backwards.

Its because its an Alpha patch mate, when they said that they had fixed the CTD they meant that they want to fix the CTD and need an Alpha patch to find out why its happening. You only get the double FPS when you turn the trees and grass and clouds off, who needs them anyway and they had little effect on the outcome of the Battle of Britian. These guys are experts mate, it may sound like they are making it up as they go along but believe me they are sure to pin the donkey on the tail soon.
