.

MP via Lobby.

Couldn't select any base nor plane after 'plane'. Game has to be killed with taskmanager while exit doen't work. Also couldn't change army after selecting one.
Longer loading times.

Crossfire seems to add fps now.

Additional to my earlier post- i also couldn't exit the multiplayer session and had to use Task Manager to shut it down.

When 11.5 catalyst drivers are out it will tell us a lot.

Just bought Arma 2. There is lot of issues also, Ati is working there better than Nvidia. Well, as Nvidia owners used to do in Arma 2, they installed older drivers in their machines. And get a good or decent performance. Just want to say that its worth of trying to try drivers like dated in last december or so. Or realise drivers if a new card.. And when they solved the problem move to back to recent drivers...Well, its just suggestion, but I feel for you, all Ati-owners. Ive had many good Ati cards in my case in last 15 years...

Luthier with this beta you said if we experience some stutters over cities to lower our option for buildings details.....why....with previous betas i have everything on high and very high with excellent performance and i dont want to lower my settings....
i have some freezes and stutters over cities and the multiplayer is a mess...many lags freezes and stutters and if i hit the exit thats it,....no exit

Is this sim designed for Nvidia only?

I'm running a single HD 4890 1GB card and don't get the horizon banding issue that you have. I have almost everything apart from buildings turned up to max and 2x anti aliasing set and mine looks as you would imagine it to look.
