Beta Patch Feedback

[b101uk]

How about starting with:

If your going to upload a beta patch for others to test then don’t use some useless tin pot heap of crap like megaupload to host the file instead use e.g. rapidshare which at least provides a button for you to download from as a “free” user after the countdown time, plus e.g. the rapidshare site is seldom down and they don’t tend to screw there page html up.

Less FPS and the Stutter a back a little and freezes are back in a big way. Fullscreen doesnt work as I keep shooting back to desktop in between all loading screens.

I have tested the beta patch some more.

Land: FPS basically the same.

Water: Reduced by ~5FPS

However when I fly into a bomber formation my FPS drops from ~30 to ~17, this is a problem that the first patch removed

Works Ok for me.

Can now set AA and V Sync.
(although AA is not all that good although it appears to work.)

The V Sync limits the FR's, and obviously working AA does also so frames are lower but its prettier and does not tear.

Goes into full 3d mode (and TIR only starts working ) in between the menu's, the menu's are not in this full 3d which is presumably how it should be ?

Seeing some lovely cloud shadows on the sea with this beta.

Also seeing some strange texture corruptions on the sea also in a couple of places around Calais primarily. ( this has been posted about elsewhere.)

Much good , some not quite there yet. (not going to vote, 'performance' at this stage is pretty hard to quantify. AA and V sync are vital additions. As is FFB for some)

I know its obvious but if any of you are using skype try to turn off pop ups this was killing fps since this beta patch. I expect it was something to do with the new full screen mode.

That worked very well mate, thanks for the heads up

I can no longer get into multiplayer games.

It's always been touch and go when loading the mission/ map/ briefing screen whether or not it will actually load, and now 100% of the time I get a CTD before the map even shows up.



Performance is perfect now though, all settings on medium/ high and looking great with no stutters

Major problems with graphics resulting in Nvidia driver resetting. Artifacts and stretched anomalies all over the place. Either the game crashes or the nvidia driver resets. No problems prior to the patch.
Using latest Forceware 270.61. Nvidia control panel set to default and i deleted the 1C folder in documents. Nothing seems to help.
Well aware that it's beta. I just hope it's sorted out in the final patch
