Use 7Zip, free and never had problems

When actual mission screen loads it only opens in on the left top side of my screen!! Tried changing resolution to no avail!!

When I use a smaller resolution than native I get a smaller window during missions, the GUI is fullscreen though.

Bug report: When the game changes resolution and goes from menu to actual gameplay, the window is very small and located in the bottom left corner of my screen, also many planes and pieces appear transparent.

Yeah I'm getting this as well, half a screen of game window and the rest desktop, while the GUI/Briefings etc are fullscreen.

Seeing an overall performance drop with this patch, I was running medium textures at 1900x1200 with a steady, if not brilliant framerate of 15-20 and no stutter after the last steam patch. With this beta patch, the stutter is back in a big way, even on low texture setting, definitely to do with the groundloading - buildings, trees etc. 24ish fps (slight increase) at 5000 feet, 13-15 still at 2000 feet, but the stutter is terrible again. Guessing this might be to do with the fact that it's now running at proper fullscreen resolution, so putting more strain on the gpu?

The texture quality setting seems to have less effect than it did before too. New briefings/etc all look great though. Thanks for all your hard work chaps!

Core i5 @ 3.6g overclocked.
ATI 5770 x 2 crossfired (only single card used tho).
Win 7 64.

Same Here.............. Gone back to previous version until that is fixed. Guess Luither is now in bed so no joy until next week!

Wait, this isn't true fullscreen?
I can still tab and have windows on top of the game while it's running.

I didn't think that was possible unless running in window mode.
My frame rates are also worse, and the game crashed for me..

Now i can play the game with my old 4870/512mb card!!!

S!

Got the same errors in Black Death when opening console. Posted them in separate thread in Technical Threads. There was a FPS boost for sure but stuttering came back more visibly when quickly testing Free Flight over Dover. Also got strange green grid anomaly on land over Calais. Extended to water. Will try clearing cache and see if it helps. Otherwise installed fine, like the new QMB interface. Would be nice to be able to change squadron too and not only skin and numbers.

Back to testing.

Same bug, any resolution smaller than my native windows size has game appear in the top left corner of the desktop, not full a screen.
