OLD BETA patch 14413 - May 4, 2011(!!!) - do not install!

Would just like to report that I DON'T have (and never have had) the blue line horizon artifact with my HD 6850. I guess it's a HD 69xx series problem since most people that have the problem seems to have HD 69xx cards. Maybe that will narrow down the troubleshooting.

Quick test for me, and game still runs great - I love it. Key thing I check for in every patch though:

Plane loadout and weathering/serial number etc DOES NOT work in QMB. You can select it all, hit fly and none of your options have stuck.

It does seem to work in MP, but just for guns loadout - serial numbers and weathering dont work here either.

Luthier your patch notes said this had been fixed? It hasnt!! Please do take another look.

I'll check again, rear view mirror still pixellated. ATI4870 here - game is smooth, stuttering is pretty much gone, but I run on low/medium settings and still love the game - average about 35 fps.

A definite increase in fps for me,it's also a very smooth everywhere I've flown so far,over London its also a nice very smooth nice flight,I do notice that the buildings seem to only get their "skin" when I'm quiet close to em otherwise they seem to have a sort of olive green blank look about them,it only seems to effect London,not a show stopper that's for sure but worth mentioning I figure.
I'm not sure about FSAA which was previously not working past x2 though,sometimes the edges seem to look quiet smooth and sometimes they don't,The last time I tried it I was running it in enhance the in game settings (x8 ) mode through the Nvidia CP and that seems to work ,fingers crossed it holds.

I should mention I did roll back to the last proper version and clean out my cache before I installed the beta patch so maybe that's a factor in the increase in performance for me.

For me the game is now very playable and enjoyable,thanks for all the hard work and long hours you've been putting in,most of us really do appreciate it

Just gave it a quick run through.
The single player is brilliant, very smooth with slight increase in average FPS (settings on Medium). Managing to average 40fps, minimum 10fps, max 60 (synch seems to be working now, set in Nvidia control panel). In the Black Death track i still get major slow-downs when the voices start- i think that may be due to a slow hard-drive i have.

The multiplayer is very bad- lots of stuttering, FPS very erratic.
I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers (8.17.12.7061).

I like that the FFB is working for me now- it seems to have improved my aim. I also like the new 2d maps.
Thanks guys.
