improvement
 

Ran black death with everything maxed except Number of Buildings set to "high", not "Unlimited".
Went from 38FPS average to 50. But my minimum FPS dropped by 1 from 4 to 3.
Seems stable. I love the new reflected shockwave effect of the explosions!
Back to do more testing-

Just installed new ATI 12.4 driver for my AMD 7970! Lets see how than plays out! Patch is still downloading!

BTW this is the international version not the russian

Hm. Interesting. My fps stay at a rock steady 30fps no matter what. Even attacking bombers over London with everything maxed out - even land shading on original. I think the increase is there but something on my system or in the game has put a ceiling on it. It makes the game run very smoothly to be sure and I am not a high fps freak anyway. Definately no cloud shadow though.

Thx for the patch ! some improvement fps even when i reset the mission with the clouds : average 10fps more ingame. Your challenge in 25% improvement is succesful...
May i say you saved your head ? ;)

They actually said the fps shot up twice
