Saturday, May 12, 2012. Patch Alpha – Report 2 + mini-fix

[flyingblind]

It dose what it says on the tin for me. Had a little tussle to get it running and had to restart a few times before a bunch of blue screens and launcher.exes sorted themselves out but that has cleared and everything running great. Slightly better fps and even less of a dip when hitting bombers over London plus the cockpits look excellent and the lettering on the wings is legible again.

I noticed in task manager performance that the CPU is being greatly under used now at something over 50% and the memory at around 20%. So I guess it is my GPU that is keeping my FPS around 30 and rarely up to 60. I will wait to see the effect of the clouds being fully reinstated but I may have to get a better card or a Sli setup.

As things stand I am very pleased. Thanks guys.

Great work 1C. Going to test now

[Mysticpuma]

Well done 1C, this is the service we hope for, please don't stop as you can see it boosts the positive feelings on the forums.

Weekly, monthly patches will be more than welcomed...cheers, MP

Flew on ATAG with a few aircraft changes (~1hr I think). No CTDs (cleared cache). Great so far!

[Kwiatek]

So far no CTD both online and offline playing ab. 1 hour.

Still i got ocasionally stutters (micropauses).

But flying low level over cities is much better now - much more smooth with less noticable stuttering. Fps 40-60.

I got Q6600 + Ati 6870 + 4 Gb Ramm+ Win7 64 bit. Settings medium to high without shadows.

[LoBiSoMeM]

Right path...

With the particle performance problems solved, we'll have good gameplay!

[sjokkel]

Performance seems better. I tested it for a few flights and no CTD's occurred. I had several CTD's yesterday before the mini-fix.

I do still have clouds popping up which started after installing the alpha patch. I cleaned out the cache after installing the fix.

Also the hurricane is missing a mirror. The frame is there but no mirror.

Keep up the good work!

So nice to get an update so fast. Thanks a lot!

Let's keep the weekly builds coming until you release the final patch to steam

[=AN=Apache]

With this fix for me came back to have more low fps and stutters. tested with and without the fox ATAG SERVER.

Fix AVG fps WITH + - 20
No FIX fos AVG = +- 40

My setup Core 2 Quad 2.2GHz 5770 ATI RADEON HD and 4 GBs ram

Played around 30', no stutter, max & average fps looks the same, but min is higher, with everything maxed out, Vsync ON and SSAO ON. Seems more fluid.
