"to busy with BOM" not likely, the beta patches are a much higher priority as they know full well no one will buy BOM unless the patches fix good portion of the performance and gameplay issues.

i guess you're right Chivas

Visual Effects causes the big fps drop over Dover on ATAG. You have to set it to low. Medium is not enough.
The other issue is still clouds. Over cloud base the fps drops to half.
Please fix

Low = Off. Of course you'll get good FPS on that setting!

thanks.
but it is not normal that I look at England from big distance (french coast) and fps drops from 45-50 to 20? what visual effects could normally cause it? and distance is so big that nothing is visible.
I need fix

If thats your particular problem it sounds like you are reaching a Vram limit on your video card and it drops while it loads the textures back in.

I dont get any of these kinds of drops.

thanks
but it is not reduced by lowering texture quality
