Beta Patch – and we mean BETA!

[Kuky]

I tried the patch yesterday and got much worse performance... FPS were connstant at about 5-6 FPS on High settings (before the patch it was 30-40 but stuttering a lot so it was not playable, over water it's good but close to land and it starts stuttering a lot)

my specs:
- Windows 7 64bit Home Premium (page file disabled, all updates for OS installed)
- 12GB RAM DDR3
- i7 950 @ 4GHz
- HD 5870 1GB RAM (Catalyst 11.3, monitor resolution 1920x1200)
- X-Fi Titanium PCIe
- Corsair HX850 PSU
- OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD (OS and all software installed on it)

Max FPS: 40, Min FPS: 14, Average: 29-30 FPS - Free Flight over France
Big stutters from time to time but overall a slight performance increase but really not very much.

Settings:
1680x1050, Fullscreen
Modeldetail: High
Buildingdetail: Very low
Landscapedetail: Low
Trees: Off
Visual Effects: High
Damagedetail: High
Buildingamount: Low
Landscapeshading: Low
Grass: Off
Shadows: On
Roads: On

Changing settings after having startet a mission caused the launcher to crash. Other tests showed that buildings are the no. 1 FPS killer for me. With everything else on high except for buildings I have almost the same FPS as with the settings stated above.

Also it is nice to see that the strange gunneryproblem has been addressed

Installed Patch

System: I5 2500k @ stock
Graphics: Radeon HD6970 2GB Vram Overclocked
Mem: 8GB DD3 (Kingston)

Updated my system recently to cope with this game. Seems to run quite fine now at 1380x768 max settings (only buildings amount set to high instead of unlimited). Only dips in FPS and stuttering are when I fly over major cities like London, seems the buildings could use some serious optimizing. Also AA seems not to be working right now even if you set it to 8.

Another thing that is bugging me a bit is that the colours on my Radeon seem quite washed out compared to some Nvidia screens I see. And I have three horizontal blue lines on my horizon often (like mentioned in other posts as well). Will post a screenshot when I get back home.

But yeah, game runs rather smooth most of the time for me now.

couple of small graphical issues I noticed

I shot at a Do17 and when I hit the engine a tree/shrub/bush flew out of it.

When hit by a 110 I saw tracers flying out the side of my aircraft.

Performance has increased for me and I can run forests with virtually no hit to fps which is nice and makes the landscape look fantastic. Still having to run a much lower resolution and still getting micro stutters when buildings pop up. Sound is a little messed up also.
