Massive increase in performance. From 25 to 60 fps

S!

I recall the UDV feature in AMD cards locked clocks to 300MHz or so as above that UDV does not work properly. And this is for video things. Basically it could be that the video makes the card run at 300MHz but for some reason does not recognize the 3D mode coming after that. So disabling the intro movie helps you to keep full clocks.

Another trick to make clocks go up(tested ages ago with 6970HD) was to overclock your card for example with a mere 5MHz and it ran full speed. Sometimes had this phenomenon that card was running at arounf half MHz in game. OC helped with this.

I do not think we have a real full screen yet. In other games I do not have this where the desktop flashes upon starting a game, in CoD I can see the start menu button etc. briefly when the game loads.

But anyways tips for better performance with AMD cards: disable Intro.vmw and OC your card just a little bit. At least the intor thingy will help.

And i see Skype blinking right lower corner when someone is coming online when flying, so i think there is some problems in fullscreenmode.

To fix the red square loading icon, run the game in pseudo mode. This will also make switching from game to menu (in multiplayer for example) much, much faster. Particularly if you have a slower CPU.

Pseudo mode?
Can you give instructions how to do this?

Ok, I've made one more try.

Please keep in mind that before the last patch, I had 40-50 FPS, and almost no stuttening (full screen = ON).
All test made on the second quick mission, (that one flying the Hurricane, over the Cliffs).

Now after the pacth:

Full screen = ON, massive stuttening.
Full screen = pseudo, less stuttening than option set to ON.
Full screen = OFF, almost no stuttening.

Made track of my quad CPU core.

IL2-COD - about 25% all cores, (when Alt-tab to desktop, almost no drop).

rFactor - about 45% all cores (when Alt-tab to desktop, drop to 10%).

Project CARS - about 75% all cores (when Alt-tab to desktop, less than 10%)

IL2 1946 -very similar to COD.

ROF - I'll test soon.

Arma 2 - I'll test soon.

Conclusion:

I am afraid to say that the actual COD problem are mostly the same from the beginning, full screen mode not working properly, graphical options menu incomplet or not working properly.

Something made me think that we are dealing with an old game code, and bugged at the moment.

Again, I think COD it's a geat WWII Sim, very immersive, so hope that the developers can sort out the difficulties, ASP.
