uncheck read only

[baronWastelan]

Why would an executable need anything other than "read only" permission?

It's always been unchecked for me anyways, hmmmm....

Yeah me too .

Don't know the answer to that all I know is I have been stuttering and lagging. I uncheck read only box and I'm running smooth now.

[NedLynch]

Well, I am happy for you, seriously. You can actually get some fun out of flying now. Maybe others who read this will check if they have a read-only turned on in the launcher properties.
I so far never had problems with stutters, luckyly.

You leave it on and you can't overwrite it. So when unrar'ing the patch the .exe is not updated and you're stuck with the old one. Some unpackers don't warn about that.

unchecked for me also..

It was checked for me.

So, at 2:45am (the time at which I read the post) I unchecked it. Jumped into the ATAG server and flew a 109 E-3. I really was very tired at this point, but I did not notice much improvement for stuttering. I still got those 1-2 second pauses (not sure if this may be connected to AI spawning, people spawning or spawning in with custom skins).

I will try again this morning and see what plays out and report back.

Cheers!

Yeah Whisky I think that's not 'real' stuttering, that's just a new flight of Planes, what I count as stuttering is when you get a little stutter every 5 seconds or so, Like RoF for a period of time.

I have those freezes as I like to call them a couple of times in an MP mission, but it goes away after half a second, but it's still annoying

Hmmm, that would bear out what Tintifaxl stated above. You might get a benefit from copying the latest launcher.exe from the beta #2 patch over the launcher.exe file that you unchecked "read only".

It makes me wonder if other files likewise are "read only" that don't get changed (ie copied over) when a new beta is applied. We seem to get a lot of varying observations & complaints from forum members with each new beta release that may not be due entirely to different PC systems.
