Quick Friday Update - Next Patch Info

[Winger]

For me the patch works great. little less FPS but much smoother gameplay.
VSync seems to cost mucht too many of my FPS. I dont know if it can be optimized but if it can it should be optimized.
The fullscreen still doesnt see to work like intended. When i run my native 2560x1600 desktop resolution and then run the game in 1920x1200 i get a window without borders sitting in the top left opf my desktop showing the game. Right and lower edges show my desktop with all my aliases - just like it was 2 or so patches ago.
Regarding the over all performance i can just say. Keep going! Its not yet perfect but i am confident it will become perfect within the next patches.
SLI is my most awaited feature since i hope that i can then jack up my res to 2500x1600 and still maintain 50 pfs with everything to high.

Keep up the good work.

There seems to be a lot of people here that do not understand that vsync destroys frame-rates unless your fps never drops below 60, or you are using triple buffering. Buuut triple-buffering takes up extra vram, which this game taxes heavily. You are going to have to put up with at least one of these three things in this game for the foreseeable future:

1. Terrible and inconsistent frame-rate

2. Low texture resolution so save vram

3. A bit of tearing sometimes.

I for one hardly notice the tearing.

I don't get tearing and with monitor Hz and fps sync'd its as smooth as baby's behind (except for loading stutters)

Like I said I hardly notice any. I think the people whining about it are massively over-reacting.

Anybody else having trouble with the game only using 25% CPU? I tried processaffinity=15 but no change.

thanks

but that's just it, this end there isn't any tearing at all - minor/ major/ in between... no tearing to notice or not notice



an example of "tearing"

Ok, my patch experience. I did the English torrent version, I used 7zip to open it and dump the files where they needed to go.

I opened the game and it started up no issues. Went to Quick Mission with the Hurricane Bomber intercept. Normally with everything on high and SHADOWS OFF I get 100 fps when that mission starts. So I started it and saw 60 fps and thought oh oh... then I realized that Vsynch was working So I disabled V synch and it went up to 80+ fps.. So I turned OFF FSAA and poof..103 fps... So I notice that I had Shadows On... and was still getting 100 fps...

So basically I initially thought I LOST performance but when I realsized that some things that were not working before are now working and drawing resources I was able to isolate those things and in the end I think I have just about the same performance in terms of fps but now with Shadows ON... so in effect a NET improvement, although a conservative one. Some new screens are up and things are coming along..

Reading through the posts I'm absolutely AMAZED how many people with various hardware and almost random conf.ini settings also run all sorts of after market software to force this and force that while at the same time trying to figure out why XY and Z are not working in game when they work for the next guy. Try to take out as many variables as you can when you are having issues..it makes debugging a ton easier..

Well you should stop thinking then.
I have a lot of tearing but only with Aero off. With Aero on, no tearing at all it seems and thats a bit weird since it works that way wether I check V-sync on or not.
