You need to clear the cache after you apply patch, not before.

*shrug* not too sure then. Be sure to double check the 'anti-epilepsy' filter both in the in-game video settings and in the conf.ini file to make sure that it is indeed off.

Also, try the mission, shut the game down, then try again. The cache folders are empty, but they fill up again with the cache files once you start playing again. Cache files are good things, you just need the right ones. I would leave the most recent patch on for a while. Continue testing. If nothing else, you may get some good info to report to the devs.

For the benefit of the community, i started all over:
-checked anti epilepsy off in game and in the conf.file
-opened Steam and checked:"check integrity of game cache"
-now i'm back to the latest "official" patch
-same mission,same settings, checked fps the moment mission starts: 33 fps
-removed cache files and shader files
-same mission,same settings: 37 fps
-applied patch and Hotfix
-same mission same settings: 18 fps
-removed cahe files and shader files
-same mission same settings: 18 fps
All fps are "average" at the beginning of the mission

Don't see what i can do more, and this is only about fps...didn't test anything else

PS: this is my original post on this matter:
-Steam: checked cache integrety
-deleted all files in cache folder
-deleted all files from "shaders" folder
-all settings to medium,1920x1200
-no AA,SSAO nor Vsync

Obviously,the new patch costs me at least 15 fps on my system ( not the highest end PC but as told not the lower end PC eighter) , and the test is carried out in a objective, standardised way: same settings and same mission every time. Pitty

Testing Full Screen "Pseudo" instead of "On". It seems to be quite better, at least for micro freeze problem.

After you installed patch, did you open the conf.ini file and check the anti-epilepsy line to make sure it's turned off? Some people are reporting that the default configuation that gets applied with the patch is to turn it on, regardless of your setting before applying it (I think).

I believe the conf.ini file is in your 1c Softclub folder inside your My Games folder. (someone could correct me on that if I'm wrong please - I'm at work so can't verify).

Huh! Well, I dunno. Maybe keep the patch on for a little bit longer, run a few more flights and record the lower FPS and then send the devs a report regarding it. That's a significant drop. Y'never know. If you test and document thoroughly and provide the data it might help to fix it. You might have the machine that unlocks the problem

I'd also check your video card driver version and let them know that as well.

new test,same mission,same ingame settings: as Jayrc suggested i went to config and saw "stereomode=3988180"
I changed that to 0 (zero) and post patch fps 18 changed to fps 30.
So this is an improvement for me
Thnx Jayrc
