Old patch v1.05.15950 is now live! What to expect next.

[He111]

As most PC games released these days are bug cities, I think we should create a new date - PRD - "Playable release date" or RRD etc, usually 6-8 months after.

Of course this is bad news for developers as no-one will buy on the RD, they'll wait for PRD, smashing their profits. Although DLCs will be more valuable?

The first beta patch would run the black death track at 55-60 fps.
The second beta patch dropped to 25-30fps.
This patch also runs at 25-30fps.

Epilepsy filter was off. driver was 285.27
I rolled back to 280.26 and changed resolution. Now getting 55-60 fps again.
Strange thing is I had the rez really low at 1360x and truned it UP to 1600x and fps went up! Or at least back to normal. Don't know what is causing these big dropps in fps for some of us but try changing your rez and drivers. It got nothing to do with epilepsy filter anyway.

Went from 275.33 to 285.38 and didn't see a difference at all. Minimal, but nothing to write home about.

This patch is for ATI/AMD owners, Nvidia performance is terrible. Back to the shelf with this one and waiting for the next official patch.

EDIT: And no, I don't have Epilepsy Filter on.

Well it is working with great fps now. usually 50-60fps.

I have everything on high except trees and land lighting and can fly full power at tree tops at 50+fps with almost undetectable stuttering. abet with low rez 1360x768

I really don't know what was causing my fps to drop to around 30 but it sucked bad! And I'm glad it stopped. I couldn't play at that rate.

Anyway the game is now working better than ever and the smoothness is probably worth the cost in pretty graphics. The bf109 cockpit just doesn't look as good IMO. Still over all very happy.
Great game we have here now!

Flying again, just wants to tell you.
The "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" made the download start. (on the game lib-property-local files menu.
Thanks to Tully_

Did you trying changing your resolution?
Just change it, load a mission and change it back. That's all I did and it seemed to fix the FPS issue I was having.

Changing resolution down and up helped. Now I can play again. Still not as fast as in the last patch, but playable.

I would definitely turn trees and shadows OFF as both of these will stress your graphics and eat your framerates.
You may benefit from setting Textures to medium as well.
Be careful what u let your nVidia gpu settings do as they may be trying to force settings that also are sucking up your gpu processing power. I would personally set most of them to application controlled and then set whatever want in the game settings.
Hope this helps.

Hi Torian
Hear what you said about GPU settings, but you are contradicted by PC Pilots excellent article on "how to improve fps". Their tests proved that letting the application tell the GPU what 3D settings it required was grossly inefficient. Still I'm, no expert, I just want to fly combat missions. From all the sufferers of Launcher exe failures on forums, I know I'm not alone. My "crap" PC flies Gaijins Beta "World of Planes" just fine!!
Thanks for replying anyway.

No luck. It works now, but on a quick mission "Allied column attack" or smth. every time I get on 109's 6 OC I get CTD. At first I thought I might have an unstable OC but the same happens with stock settings.

Shelving it until the next patch. There are other simulations out there to play until this comes out of beta.

about your post, I wrote e long report here some days ago, intended as feedback about driver or bug troubles, but when I was very next to the end of the report, I closed the page for mistake and then warried thinking to rewrite it again

So I take this your post and add my results only:
I get better results at 1920x1080 resolution then 1600x1200, 1372x???, 1024x768.

To semplify it I got at the higher quality settings possible:

17fps for 1920x...
15fps for 1600x...
11fps for 1372x...
7fps for 1024x...

on the London mission flying among 50mt and down to the houses level.

I think it is a problem of COD and not about drivers but I'm not sure. What about it?

I would like to try the acclamated "black death" track, but I can't find it anywhere. could you post a link to download the track?
