Beta Patch – and we mean BETA!

[matsher]

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
