[Gourmand]

it will be great to have a beta patch note to now what's is the new work we should test... and precise it's a troncate patch to test the performance


( i hope it's a troncate patch for testing performance )

i found that helped with all former official and beta patches....i think it has to do with filling the cache folder with new files???


every time i installed a patch(beta or not) my first impression was more stutters and freezes, but then after a couple of restarts it seemed to get better...could be possible that one gets used to the stutters though as well

Installed patch, did not remove cache folder, Very High settings. 20 to 30 FPS, 50 meters AGL outside London. INSANE AMOUNT OF STUTTERING.

Remembered to delete old cache folder, same settings. Pretty steady 20FPS 50m above London. Less stuttering.

I love this patch. Previously I had to use lower setting for similar performance.

it is not looking pretty at the moment but if ever this game needed the help and support of the community it is right now. If it doesn't work out at least I can say I tried, as opposed to joining the chorus of the 'I told you so' brigade.

+1
constructive input
I think a lot of people are missing the point of this patch..it is an Alpha after all.

3. LOGKEEP=0 is OK. The old log files will be deleted every time you start the game, so the log file will be for the current battle.

Thank you Salmo.

I got my 5 mins in MP CTD, I don't think the crash log file is very illuminating though:

------------ BEGIN log session -------------
Load landscape...
Load bridges
LongBridge: wrong width. (3)
Load static objects...
Battle starting...

There is 3 new corresponding 683kB files in CPPCrash dir though, perhaps they hold "the secret"

From ATAG chat some people have cured MP CTDs, for some it is far worse. I am in the far worse category....

Cheers, camber
