Beta Patch – and we mean BETA!

[touchdown42]

A little bit smoother for me, but FPS increase only marginal. Over medium sized city up from 12-14 to perhaps 16-18. Maybe better after some flying over the same spot.
'Feels' smoother low over land, even with low fps.
Perhaps even a little bit better if > 600-800 m.

But also first time Launcher.Exe error for me

So i must say my expectation was higher, but it is definitely better than before, not worse ...

Well i love the patch. All those micro-stuttering is gone. And I have more FPS over Land (maybe 10+). My Card is gtx 560 ti OC version

I am using the 11.3 drivers. They are the latest official drivers at this current point in time. Several people have confirmed the issue with HD6xxx series card too so its confusing as to what is happening.

That issue aside, I have noticed no difference in FPS. Did a quick flight at sea and flew inland over the smaller villages. FPS out at sea was relatively smooth as always, as soon as I moved inland the FPS dropped and the game gets that choppy feeling again just as it did before. It is disappointing but that said it is a beta patch so final release might be better.

I also noticed that the sound bug where you hear the undercarriage as if its always rolling even if you are perfectly still on the ground is still present.

The Beta shows up with much more Minifreezes also. I had steady stutters with one AC in Air. In normal Version no stutters and freezes. and as sayed: Less performance and longer Loading time...

Again System: i7 980 Extreme (HexCore) 12 GB Kingston DDR3 RAM, ASUS REVOLUTION MoBo and 2x GF GTX 295 Dual Cards (Quad System).

Same effects with and without SLI....Solong

Double improvement in the reported average fps but I seem to get less actual fps. While the stuttering is gone the game seems to be less smooth with lots of little pauses at busy times.

I expect improvement for me will be when crossfire support is introduced and not before hand.

just a med system but with low graphic settings it looks like a game from the year 2000 with stutters ...nothing to say

YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!! running great here, i have to test more, but more than 40 over sea or ground!!!and nooo stuters.Only in the first seconds due to load i guess.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT!!!! joystick lag has gone!!! now i can feel the flight dinamics correctly and aim (still dificult but not for technical problems but for realism nature) i cant belive that noone has notice this.
I have still problems with tree shadows flikering, and no Antialias =ugli game)

running 1900 1280 all high except terrain at medium.
4x antialis, but not noticeable.
3,2 quadcore , gtx 470 oc edition, 4 gb ram, w7 ,27", g940( i need ffb!)

anyway i have to test more, only 20 minutes flying, but im loving this game more and more.
