Good and bad
 

Hi guys,

The new patch had some interesting results.

Overall -
1. far less stuttering but still there every +-12 - 20sec - Plays a bit Smoother
2. Bullet splashes on water/ground no longer effect fps (before patch splashes would make fps 0-1) so good improvement there.
2. Smoke still crushes FPS to 3-4 fps for a few seconds
3. COD is now crashing/freezing forcing restart... Sometimes it crashes the whole PC - Very bad... It can't run even for an hour - mostly less till crash/freeze
4. Noticable difference between cockpit on and cockpit off +/- 4-5 fps in wonderview.
5. I loaded up Calais dog fight and Dover dogfight Quick missions, both couldn't do more than 1 fps - on 1280x960 (Med - low settings settings- no grass, Very low trees, low building, med land shading, Model high, effects med etc

Its a step in the right direction - but still a ways to go yet. Thanks for the effort.


BEFORE PATCH
Trying to fly over channel 2v2 or 1v2 spit v 109
1680x1080 (native res) - Grass off - trees off- roads off- all ground details lowest. Model High, damage med effects: high
average:8fps or so cockpit off: 9-10fps
Major stutters and slow downs.
Coudn't fly over land at all - average: 3-5fps in 1st training mission.

AFTER NEWEST PATCH 1.03954
Far less stutter - almost playable over water average 10-11 fps
with cockpit off - about 14-18fps
Now can go over land but still not good 8-11 fps

Lowered my res to 1280x960 and can actually fight over water. YAY!
Still big stuttered but not so frequent. I also increased my setting a little bit.
Over land between 6-19 fps up and down a lot (Freeflight)
Tried calais and Dover dogfight missions - 1 fps for both in cockpit :(

Map
 

It seems the little map is not working. Will you put a plane manual on line or it's not in your plan?
Thanks

Since the patch I have keys stopping working.
I get purple sea at times when I never had this before the patch
I get hangs on the graphics but continue to hear the sounds as if the game is still playing.
On occasion the game freezes and I lose keyboard and mouse functions and power!. Reboot required. (does not sound like it would be the game but it has not happend on anything else but this game so I have added it)

* graphics were pretty darn good before patch and the FPS were fine so dont have anything to compare against to show if there is improvement.

after the patch game does not start anymore

Well, that might be that this thread is dead old and if you downloaded THIS beta patch, then you got an old one. Wake up :P

With new beta patch, I have a degrade in fps, about 5-10 fps without cloud (in free flight quick mission) and a major fps hit (10-15) with more clouds, in particoular in quick mission "british attack - bridge" and "british attack - column". Stutter is the same, still present but playable.

Take this thread out behind a shed and shoot it. It's really confusing as it's about a patch that is months old...

this is the right thread...
Old beta, new beta...it doesn't matter!
we all mean "beta"!

you just have to say "beta" and be happy!
