BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012

[Insuber]

Bad. Ran the Black Death track before and after patch. I emptied the cache. The fps is worst, the game has a lot more of stutter, with settings maxed out. Here are the figures:

Before : avg/max/min 28/61/3
After : 24/44/1 (not fluid at all)

Settings maxed out:



But maybe the Death Track isn't good because it has clouds and grass ... ???

Try to run it 2 times with FPS counter OFF and measure only the 3rd pass. It may take time for windows to cache new files, textures, etc.

Also original texture quality may cause issues.

With SSD file fragmentation should not be a huge issue, but try defragging the game folder after patching anyway.

FPS is worse for me it would seem. Cleared cache, removed tress & grass... sigh.

Rubber banding and wild erratic fps in multiplayer. I suppose i give the final patch another go.. but i've lost all faith in this Dev team.

Out of interest, I tried these same settings, except my resolution is at 1920 x 1080. I got:
avg/max/min 36/97/3

This also wasn’t fluid, with a lot of ‘delayed rendering’ errors. I then set everything to ‘High’, turned SSAO off, and got:
avg/max/min 42/99/7

With these settings there were none of the previous errors, and it was a lot more fluid. I didn’t test the max settings before the patch, but got similar frame rates to your original ones with much lower graphics settings. I have had a substantial increase in frame rates with the beta patch. My cpu speed is at 4.2GHz with a Corsair H100 cooler, psu is a 600W CoolerMaster.

How can you tell which you have installed?

Win XP is DX9.

Vista and Win 7 will be DX10.

Go to your start button and type in the Run slot - dxdiag . It'll be on there . I have DX11 I hope that's not an issue . Not that I can even get the game patched at all .
