Becoming a real pain now
(Yes, I have enabled 'cloud', removed the 1CSoft folder, verified the game, stood on my head and whistled Rule Britannia, slapped the kids, everything)

I really want to like this game, but my patience is being severly tested by things such as having to (post patch) having to constantly re-set screen messages etc, constant ctrl/alt/del and other things

try this m8 let me know if it helps
(click START right click COMPUTER choose PROPERTIES click ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS under PERFORMANCE choose SETTINGS and then check the ADJUST FOR BEST PERFORMANCE button)


I have a feeling we are dealing with more that just the game here, there might be something wrong with your PC , have you moved it recently?

Oddball,
thanks for the tips.

I ended up deleting and reinstalling prior to your post and it seems OK at the moment (touching wood at the time)
Reading other peoples posts they are getting exactly the same problems so I think its something to do with systems and the hotfix.

I will stick with it though because I feel this game has massive potential, even if it was released 6 months early

i have stutters over london big time!those are not the common stutters as usual, but really long ones.some last for 5-6 seconds.the screen freezes totally.the fps are more or less the same(maybe a bit less than with beta patch) but the stutters are very apparent!!i have them over all cities now.but london is a nightmare and unplayable again.i did not have that with the beta patch!
i also get some strange green and brown squares on land and sea....and this after a complete fresh install of the game,without messing with any files.

i looked up your MB to see if you could SLI/XFIRE but you can not I think your going to want to upgrade you video card, i just don't
think the card is really powerful enough

S!

hey oddball!
i know that my system could need an upgrade!and im not complaining that i cannot play smooth with everything maxed out over london for example.
but im frustrated,because with the last beta patch,i could fly almost stutterless over london and every other city with the same settings i use now.but now although my fps are pretty much the same(a bit lower and more unstable though) i have stutters that make it unplayable.i did not have those stutters with the beta patch.
the problem occours mainly when i change my view with my trackir.if i hold my view steady,the game runs pretty steady.but if i look in a different direction,the fps drop suddenly pretty bad,and there are stutters,which are even worse than with the first version of the game.
again,i know my pc is not high end, but i could play the game smooth enough for my taste with the last beta patch,but now,unfortunately i cant anymore.
