Checked for the patch at lunch time 10 pages on the release! Fantastic! Waited till work was over, got home and downloaded the torrent file and ..... Doesn't seam to be working! Roll on friday and the official release!

Good luck to all with the Beta!

I got the patch going and noticed some pretty good improvements. I can now turn textures to original and buildings to very high and unlimited and its smooth 99% of the time and looks like AntiAliasing is also working again.

Still massive problems over london though even with medium for buildings.

This confuses me. I've not seen any significant increase in performance whatsoever. The last big increase in performance was the last patch with the new .ini file.

Are those of you reporting big fps increases just now updating to the new ini, or did you have it already?

I did a full reinstall not so long back so I have new everything, try it and you might notice an increase, i think the devs are aiming to get the lower end machines running smoothly so the code could be being altered in respect of that.

Might give it a go, I was starting to think that there'd been another new .ini file since the last patch went to retail and I'd missed it! I have the last 'new' .ini file and haven't noticed much except maybe some reduced stutter that could be attributed to a lower mipmap setting on my GPU.

Just getting tired of testing again and again, but them's the breaks. Off I go to test once more!

EDIT: yeah, looks like very minor increases for me, a little smoother over lower altitude but that's about it. :/

is the soundbug still there with a clean install or is it gone? Anyone?

Thanks!

to the best of our knowledge its still there.

my thoughts on the sound issue. other than my sound reducing to crackling mess in single player ive never had no sound.

BUT ! when i use team speak comms online i do get the sounds going lower in volume ! now i know theres a system in windows 7 that can turn you sound up or down based on microphone levels input. However i do not have mine set up like that. i hate it, but never the less with comms my sound is deminishing. just my 2 cents.

[LcSummers]

Yes, i recognized it too. Now i can turn on shadows and clouds it wasnt possible with the last official release. Its working smoother. This is really an improvement. Dev team returned eyecandy on landscape too. Grass and ground is much better and now i can see the leaves waving in the wind.

The only thing i miss are ground objects, no trucks, bikes, tents etc. I know Luthier said its only a beta patch.

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

I agree with BigPickle,this is undoubtedly the best patch so far,I am so pleased they have fixed most of the blessed comms,this is a big step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned.

The weathering is now looking even better,although,I personally think they have made the lighting/textures of the aircraft a tad too shiny,but this is personal preference I suppose.

Yup you're getting there Luthier and team for sure,so thanks very much for this patch,I give it a big thumbs up.

Looks like an excellent patch so far, love the new specular effect on the aircraft, the bare metal shines in the weathering very nice effect.
I have at least 5 to 10 fps gained which is a massive performance boost. Low over the ground is very nice, still a few stutters but nothing like before. Markings and paintschemes now all work, there are errors to do with the sound engine but this has to be undoubtedley the BEST patch for far. I hope so much it stays this great with the offcial.
