squabbling aside - anyone got any real idea what the update was? I had it too,

I've noticed I hear gunners now from EA and damage when they hit the airframe.

Lost this a couple patches ago

After the download my wand grew an inch.

Seriously, I'm glad and all for those who get a raise in frames from this dl or from new vid drivers or from running SSD raid 0 but in the real world where I live only thing that does the trick is upgrade g-card or new optimizing patch.

You tested? Seriously, Blackdog... Sometimes I think I don't call names enough, to be true...

It's really that hard to some undestrand that this Steam update fix something that was seriously broken?! And in "the real world"?

Tired AGAIN of this. Out of this discussion. As I said a lot of times: some just don't deserve this software or even recognize the work in solving issues.

Boring. But as last try... This is what this Steam update does, in the real world where I live:

And without hardware upgrades or full new graphic engine and sound patch. Isn´t so hard to understand that I NEVER run this sim this way, with these settings, isn't?

As I see it , for me no more pop-up and square buildings.


rgr.

for me it doesnt made any significant difference.at least not as much as i would have noticed.but at least it didnt make it worse.

Everything turned on except SSAO && AA. VSYNC still needs to be turned on in order to get rid of the stutters. Buildings still pop if set to unlimited. Shadows still flicker.

But it is running smoother! Also, I played about 45 mins of multiplayer with trees on, didn't loose audio at all! YAY?!

I gave it a good 2 hours testing and couldn't find anything different. And yes I had the download and cleared the cache.

All the different configs in hw and sw and settings. Sure, something downloaded alright and it had some effect on your config but not over here (I lied about my wand).
Btw what is your hw/sw?

all this would stop with a short clarification from 1C....but what do i expect :D

perhaps it will be mentioned when they will release and explain (at least a bit) the BETA of the next patch..................

...which Luthier has promised will be tomorrow. ;-)
