I dont know why a few human controlled planes can cause such a drop in fps?

What is your ping on the server where this happens?

Im in CHicago burbs so ping to the ATAG server is pretty good, I belive its in Chicago is it not?

I think its more a poor net code and graphics engine. My video card is much higher than a 5770 and should perform much better. A few planes shouldnt tank fps like this. A phenom II X4 3.2ghz is plenty for this sim. I have had to lower settings to low and medium to try and get a more stable fps over land when dogfighting. Havent had a chance to play yet, maybe tonight.

I think so, so ping really shouldnt be an issue... dunno.

Sorry, but without offence 3.2 GHz is not plenty for this sim, this speeds are enough for lets say old il2.
I posted this tryin to help you.
Try to OC your processor, it is not rocket science now, you can find tutorials
even on youtube,and I'm shure you will see benefits.

S!

I have the same processor and dont have too bad of Frame Rates....

my game runs worse with every launch of the game...i get continually launchercrashes(even offline now), and stutters and freezes seem to get worse with every gamestart....
its really funny that you are "glad" that after more than a year we still have launcher crashes...

A lot of people who had severe LE crashes enabled SSAO and Shadows which seems to work for some (but not every one). MP was a disaster regards CTD for me with this patch - you can see my specs and I get good performance with a 2.7Ghz Dual Core. My 17in monitors native resolution is a mere 1024 x 768 which helps and I don't bother setting any AA.

If you have a decent GFX card, I would take note of BS's comment that, lowering Textures, is not going to give an improved FPS with this alpha. Most of my settings are High and Medium except with trees 'off'. SP I disable clouds as they cause stutters and freezes.

I sympathise with you guys having problems on better rigs - it was driving me nuts too! This alpha seems to generate a lot of shader files, I would delete them if enabling SSAO, exit CloD and let ClOD rebuild the shaders on a fresh start.

besides, i did not have crashes when playing offline without this so called patch.
