Russian version review

[Zappatime]

Might be a stupid question, but you don't have Windows Live Messenger or something similar running in the backgound on your pc (in the taskbar for instance) do you? I've seen this affect Arma2 in this way (the 5sec micropause) as though its checking/pinging something - just a thought to knock off anything like that, that may be running.

WIN7 64
Asus M4A89TD 890FX Chipset
AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition
2x AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5
8GB (2GBx4) Corsair generic 1600Mhz (CPU caps at 1333)
30GB Kingston 2.5 inch SATA Gaming MLC Solid State (boot)
2x 1TB SATA III 6.0 Gb/s 64MB Cash 7200RPM HDD (Raid 0)(data)

I have a similar rig (i5-760 + 1x 6870) and i won't spend even $1 to get this game running, i'll wait until 19th april and hope that the fps gets fixed, or i'll stick with ROF and IL-2 and wait till 2013.

Please keep us informed about your stutter issue, i've seen that on gta4 and gears of war, 5 second stutters... solved using ccleaner and reinstalling the drivers.

Dear friends,

Thanks to you for the support. If you can, please accept my personal apologies for the problems at the launch of game. We worked full steam since long ago, and the last month was even more feverish, and we had a very little time for the final polishing of th product.

Anyhow, we are at work to fix the following in the next few days:

1. anti-epilepsy will be once and for all banished from the Russian version of game. This it will add to 10 [fps] in the older machines. You can even now disable this filter - instructions were given repeatedly.

2. we already discovered the reason for micros-freezes at the low altitudes. Fixing should be done in a reasonably small amount of time.

3. we continue to optimize game. Our chief programmer - optimizer has been ill for the last three days, but he has a solid job schedule, which would allow to improve the frame-rate within a sufficiently short time. We don't promise miracles, but flight above terrain will begin to differ less dramatically from flight above water.

4. texts are checked by correctors. Credits are already cleaned.

5. The remaining problems have for us a less high priority. We hope to let out a patch, which improves frame-rate and rolling tects, on the next weekand ruling texts, on the following week, and then take the time to solve other problems, to improve game, to add aircraft, and so forth.

Seems like they already know the cause of the microstutters.

I guess it's the 32bit launcher.

It seems that VRAM makes the only difference in this release's performance, since you can have 3Gbs or 12Gbs of RAM and you don't have benefits.
