Friday Official Update, June 29, 2012 DISCUSSION THREAD

[WWGangster]

The patch made the game playable for me for sure. The micro stutters are gone.......WAAAYY smoother.........

I've go a low to mid range rig.......

i920 clocked to 3.2
Radeon 4870 - 1G

I now have 5 hours offline play (Started a new 3. JG2 campaign from Desastersoft, full real except icons and autopilot on) under the belt with this patch.

* Not a single CTD.
* Fluid fps, with an occasional micro stutter. Full HD, settings maxed out, SSAO off. 2x AA.
* Radio comms still not working. Friendly AI doesn't react to attack commands, landing and takeoff requests. Still missing sound files.
* No F16 barrel rolls encountered.

They are improving.

yes, without SSAO fps are quite good and micro stutters are few... but the drop in quality is huge

Actually I don't see any image degration in flight with SSAO off, so I disabled it.

Just some feedback re frame-rates:

Pre-patch 1.06.17582 - avr 45; max 114; min 5

Post-patch 1.06.17582 - avr 59; max 165; min 5

Post-new core.dll - avr 57: max 175; min 4

Post-patch 1.07.18301 - avr 40: max 115: min 5

Conclusion: reduction in avr & max framerates with latest patch.

Right. Only bottom of aircraft is usually influenced and it is not visible from the cockpit.

Lower framerate for me as well. Love the new tracers. Lowered trees to very low and turned grass on and off and didnt seem to have much of an effect on my Framerates. If I had to guess, I would say I was getting high teen to Low 20ish FPS. Was probably in the High 20s to low 30s before. Stuttering was a little worse close to the ground.

My FPS were probably lower as well, but honestly it seemed smoother, they dont seem to be jumping around as much as before.
