Thats not what a memory leak does, a pause or a freeze up like that is not how a memory leak acts.. typically once you start seeing the performance issues the game is on its way to crashing..

What I mean is that it is similar to a memory leak issue in that it will be running fine and then eventually your FPS gets worse and worse until its unplayable, often culminating in a total lockup or crash.

In this case, there isn't really a transition to the super low performance -- it just "hits" and then it stays there for a bit or for good until I restart the game. So what I'm saying is that the end result is the same, even if it doesn't act exactly like a memory leak.

Usually the first time I hop in game it works fine for the first 5 minutes or so, then will suddenly dip into the single digits for no reason. It then occasionally "pops" back into normal FPS, but eventually gets stuck in single digits until I restart the game. If I quit a mission and restart it, more often than not it will START in "low fps" mode right from the beginning.

Here is something weird. At default medium settings my frame rates range 50-60. If I change anything like lowering amount of buildings from medium to low my average FPS drops below 25!

(and yes I did restart the sim)

I got exatly same behaviour yesterday

[whoarmongar]

yeah im getting some counter intuitive things on my settings too.
unlimited buildings seem to give better frame rate than low buildings.
Full screen runs better than windowed, or psuedo.

Im not complaining tho, just commenting.

I still don't see my prop in most circumstances. If viewing externally and the prop passes in front of a cloud the prop disappears completely as if it is behind the cloud. Also when passing through a cloud sometimes the whole screen flashes like a strobe light. It seems to flash in time with the engine RPM.

I really would like to see my prop a bit more.

Gozr, I have a similar artifact. Taken from the black death track:

Check to see if the iupdate has reset the ant Epilpsy filter. It did for me.
