*Check to see if steam cloud is active* I'm getting odd things happening with this game, steam cloud seems to have spontaniously re-activated itself when i put the patch in.

what does steam cloud do???is it now better to have it enabled,...or should i disable it?

well i've just checked that and it now appears i have better all round performance with it enabled, go figure. I lost about 5 fps with it disabled.

My specs are below. Had a direct conversation with luthier in the thread after the last official patch came out and he stated that I should be having zero problems.

Unfortunately I have 4 Major problems since last official patch and only after last official patch that a few others state they have as well since the last patch that nobody seems to be addressing. Unless what luthier ment in his previous post about "the rest of the performance related issues which are comparitively minor" was supposed to say "the rest of the major performance issues".

1) No AA
2) Stutters
3) Huge drop in FPS
4) Sound bug ( but everyone has this )

I'm just worried that there are only a few of us with these problems and nobody is even aware of it / are working on warships, shinny planes, ect... while the last patch rendered a perfectly working game useless.

Asus P8P67 Motherboard
I7 Processor 3.4 GH not overclocked yet
2X ASUS 6950 crossfire ( tried with and without enabled )
2 solid state hard drives raided (game installed here)
1 terrabite hard drive (nothing on it yet)
8 gigs ripjawx ddr3 ram
mega cooling heat sink to overclock processer when required
windows 7 ultimate

expereinced that loss of sound bug properly today online. when i tried moving mixture it would then crackle and try come back. but then i couldnt replicate it.

Thanks, clearing the cache did help at first glance. I'll try more later on... ;)

I had a huge FPS hit after this patch, but after checking the GPU clock speeds I noticed they were stuck at 300 Hz. Geting rid of the UBI-logo video splash screen fixed things. I should also mention that this never hapened to me before either this patch or the latest catalyst drivers (11.6 I think).
I suggest to everyone having a FPS drop to check for this.

true!i tried it just now.with the same settings i had average 35fps over a self made channel mission.now after deleting the ubi logo i have average 52fps!!!
dont know how, but it definitely works for me.

Looks like Bugisoft logo put your GPU in 2D mode and speed.

What i need delete to get rid of it?

Im thinking it is my ati drivers also, but i cant be totally sure till i role back my drivers as i installed them at the same time as the patch :/
