April 27, 2011(!!!) - Beta Patch #2 - It's old thread

[FS~Phat]

I get amazing scaling in the latest beta by forcing AFRfriendly d3d in radeon pro but have massive flickering problems.

The graphics scrolling and rendering is really really smooth though and I get 90 to 130FPS on black death track. There's lots of potential now for great crossfire scaling but the latest beta is unplayable for me as I have a 5970 and 2 x 5870s (quad GPU) and it stutters along at 10fps totally unplayable. If force AFR and get an amazing smooth frame rate but then I have flickering and missing textures which is just as unplayable! Back to the last formal patch release for me as the previous beta1 was crap too.

Ok, just reverted to current release and re-applied beta patch, much better; graphical issues appear to be gone and a significant FPS increase - pre-patch Black Death was Avg 47 - Max 127 - Min 2, post patch was Avg 53 - Max 126 - Min 15.

I'm not convinced that I haven't now got some microstutter but without reverting again to check I don't know if it's just me looking harder
