ATI users read this :

* Added True full-screen mode. The game was previously playing in a stretched
window; that mode is also still available. Switch between windowed, pseudo
(stretched window) and true full screen modes in the Video Options.
NOTE: If you are running an ATI video card and you notice reduced performance in
True full-screen mode, please switch back to Pseudo to improve framerate;

I have better performance in Pseudo mode, there no much difference but is more smooth, just started a thread to report the cards affected :

Also maybe in Pseudo mode there no problems with not working buttons.

Overall the patch is a great improvement in performance, fly over cities is better.

Same problem here: need to crtl-alt-canc and terminate the launcher. On the other hand, with this patch I spawned in an hangar and the plane didn't explode

Cheers,

stutters are back with this patch...multiplayer is not working mostly (unable to connect etc)

I have found a general improvement with the graphic quality, and have been able to increase graphic settings slightly with no loss in frame rate. I decided to test this analytically, so I followed the recommended method of bench marking Black Death. A re-test with the tweaked settings produced identical results. The results were (avg., max, min, in-game counter):

Beta ver.14035: 36 82 15
Beta ver.14413: 38 83 13

These were run with full screen ‘on’, driver ver.11.4, CCC settings at default. A separate poster mentioned lower VRAM use, and this appears correct – there seems to have been a ‘streamlining’ of the graphics data, in that more now fits through the same ‘pipe’ than was previously possible. I noticed additional graphic detail in the BD track, without altering any settings (I tested this twice to be sure).

I checked cpu usage after a long low-altitude flight over Dover, and found it to be roughly 70%, 45%, 25% and 20%. Gpu usage was around 54%.

Thanks, team. I know each improvement may seem minor in isolation, but the change from its original state is fairly major at this stage, in my experience. The desire to upgrade my graphics card diminishes with each update, and is now on hold (at least until that ‘blue stripes thingy’ is fixed).

Playing multiplayer, sound was auto detected in options.

Dedicated server the kill actor scripts no longer work along with a few other issues pointed out in this thread.

This may already be posted - many pages to read through - but I was given this advice:

Try opening Windows (7) 'Volume mixer' and turn the Steam input right down to zero. It seems to be working for me although I've only been using it for a short while.

For the wheels sound try touching your wheels back on the ground after lift off, it seems to stop it. Yes, I know it shouldn't be happening.
