Initial impression for me.
Better AVG FPS.
Still micro stutters.
On playing Black death, first run goes ok, when getting out of track, entering (main) menu and going back, playing the track again gives horrible stutters and freezes.

Same it's due to crossfire being messed up by alt tabbing/desktop, not sure how to stop it but it's bloody annoying.

Hmm, strange it 'works' the first time. It seems to be less when other tracks are loaded in between.

S!

AMD GPU users might try these drivers HERE These fixed the texture "ripples" I saw around the plane, but not the "3 bands in horizon" or that you can see the old textures farther away outside viewrange of the new ones.

Makes me wonder what purpose beta testing serves when errors identified still make the final build anyway, particularly when they were re-introduced with the beta version to start with. This is more than just a little irritating

Probably because if they stopped to fix everything first we wouldn't get the Steam patch for another six months.

I'll take what they can give as soon as its ready.

some old bugs, still not fixed:

-Bf110, wrong canons, a C-4/-7 should have MG-FF/M. Otherwise they are no -4/-7 version !
-Ju87, supercharger settings are reversed to the description in the cockpit - you get automatic shifting when the cockpit lever is set to "Bodenlader"
-Ju88, the bombdoors are opening and closing automaticly with bombrelease
-Blenheim, the bombdoors are NOT opening and closing automaticly with bombrelease
-Ju88, Gyro compass not working
-Blenheim, flaps have only two positions
-Ju88, has a CSP , should be a manual propeller (with an available automatic setting that would hold 2350rpm)
-G.50, engine is running with both magnetos set to off

-and i still have no idea how to edit loadouts directly in the singleplayermissions.................

5870 Crossfire has STILL has no improvement over single 5870 GPU so is not functioning correctly.
Frame rates have not improved and studders are worse than ever.
(tested in Black Death on three different systems with 5870 gpu`s).

S!

Made a track where you can see the stutters, graphical anomalies and something else if paying attention. But most importantly you can see the "square of new textures" aka view range. The square is around your plane. Also not the "sphere of LOD" when going lower altitude, especially seen on trees and buildings. Rest..try to find

First ever total lockup couldn't even Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Alt-Del
No AA

No real Full screen, game still interacts with desktop when in the controls menu, and flashes desktop repeatedly on every load or disconnection

Spitfire pilot's arm still sticks out the fuselage

Ground/sky can be seen through the spitfire fuselage when in cockpit and looking rearwards.

Change in contrast and lighting has created a bizarre glitch when entering the cockpit for the first time. It produces a neon purple and black screen with crazy highlighted shadows.

All in all this for me has to be the worst patch so far.
It is exactly the same beta but tweaked for the worst, only a few fixes is so disappointing.
It is so bad that I just don't want to play this game anymore because quite honestly its turning into a joke.

The rate of patching is very slow and the success rate of those patches appears to now be reversing. I'm no developer but the logic behind the fixing this game and the order of priority is definitely skewed.
It is just being turned into a big mess with things that the community like now being changed needlessly into what is disliked, I suspect because the real issues such as no AA or no real full screen etc cannot be fixed or will be fixed with the release of the add-on to make more money.
If I'm right about that MG wont be getting my money, because as it stands I've been sold a banana.

Gerbil,

Did you clear your cache?
Is epilepsy filter off?
What are your settings?
What does Taskmanager tell you about Processor and Memory load? (My cores run around 40% CPU load and over 4Gb memory).
Have you tried Coretemp** to see if CPU is overheating? (over 70C?)
Have you tried EVGA Precision** tool (or other) to see what is the GPU processor load, Temperature and Memory load? (Mine are 99% CPU, 70C, 1.26Gb memory used initially, dropping to 1Gb)

My settings are High except
Forest, Grass, SSAO all off and Buildings amount medium.
