maxed out graphics.
7870 i5 2500k 8gb ddr3

Try it at a higher altitude... say 1,000m and see if the stuttering still occurs

what is your video card?


and MAX SETTINGS ? well, best of luck for anyone there. One of the all times greats of frame rate killing is trees (running lots of them), every sim has suffered from it

@wolf_rider

my gpu is in your qoute of mine lol. 7870

the higher i get hte less noticeble the bug is. from 1000 meters up, its not noticible.

@Buchon, no not talkign about hyperthreading

@mazex, thats an hell of a theory, could be just that, its the onyl way to explain this behaviour!

my confusion there if I missed your card, thanks though for pointing it out.. and if the stuttering disappears at a higher altitude, that is exactly what was going on pre Alpha patch.

i think you are missing the point of what im describing

im not getting general stutter.

picture this, my plane is moving softely over the ground, tracers move without any kind of issues, somooth as silk a 60 fps game. but the ground jsut doenst keep up, the groudn itself feels like its refreshing every 0,5 seconds, with small stutering like a 20 fps game. yet the game is still running at 60 fps.


i never had this before the alfa. before the alfa i had smooth as silk everithing at about 40 fps.

now i have th 50% increase, but with this strange effect.

that's what was happening... what monitor/s are you running?

- single 1440x900 60hz, again. i DINDT have this issue before


what was your secret??

-none. at the end of the day this game is/was broken, but with enough power will run.

for the 50% gain, dispite everithing some people are seing a performance increase.

mine were

channel:
80 to 120 fps

france
60- 80 fps

england

30/40 - 50/60

london

25 - 40

no more stuttering from dust, smoke etc. overall, performance wise my game is currently top notch, except for this issue, and an issue with calais. (for some reason i get 20 fps in calais)

That doesn't indicate what monitor you are running though...

and, you did... everyone did. What you describe FPS and stutter/ shudder wise is similar to most other players.
the stuutering/ shudder is more pronounced when the terrain is moving across your screen than at an angle?

What is moved to a separate CPU core is the land geometry generator, the texture handling is done in the GPU by the texture manager.

I have this issue too and its not the CPU trust me, what you are describing is the Hick-Ups that BlackSix listed as known issue.

I´ll not worry by this with that card, I think it will be fixed once the grass and trees optimization is done.

"grass and trees cause hick-ups. "

indeed. i supposed hick ups would be 2-3 second stops.

mistery solved. thanks Buchon!

i agree with the OP's original post, but its happened for me since day one.

i call it the CLOD shuffle (and hum it to myself along to the tune 'doing the lambeth walk').

580GTX here.
