Here's JTDawg's original post that seems to have helped a lot of people, including myself:



"Hey Guys, Got 2 things worked like a charm, no stutters , no slide show for ati an nvidea users . Win7 USERS , Go into control panel to Programs an Features Go into Microsoft. NET Framework 4 Client Profile. double click on it , An repair it , After repair it will ask restart do it . Then go to C PROGRAM FILES X86 , Then Steam Then Steamapps, Then common . il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover Then redist Then go into DirectX Folder , Scroll down til you see When you see DXSETUP Double click on it , an run it!! For they guys that did this , THE CHEERING SECTION IS OUT, All of ur had the same results. NO SLIDE SHOW NOT A STUTTER. Even with 3 spits an 7 or 8 109s at 1000 feet above the the 3 base close together north of the French point ( our normal slide show, Repeated 3 times , Stayed hard on 60 fps an high 75 my vsync on all setting high an original , For the first time since i bought this game , it was amazing!!! If this helps tell others ( for me an several others who did this ) All i can say is WOW !!"

Ok thats something I have not tried. Looking at your max fps though it would suggest that vsync isn't on at all, this isn't good with trackir because i personally get terrible screentear.

Thanks snapper :)

well, this seems to only work for some people, in our squad we tried this, and nobody confirmed a increase in fps, nor a decrease of the stutters.

Must have me on the ignore list :rolleyes:

No not at all Farbs, sorry mate I had missed your post, thank you I will try this later. :grin:

I just did the last retail patch back to back with the latest patch and got the following results. Notice the lack of detail on the land in the newer patch. They have been playing around with LOD quite a lot! You can also see that less of the plane furthest away is rendered.

So I guess from the figures below you can say they have added more to the max and the AVG has dropped at this lower resolution compared to running it in surround.

This is @ 1920x1080 everything maxed out and AA off.

Retail - AVG 54 MAX 151 MIN 4
Latest- AVG 42 MAX 198 MIN 7

Also try to switch to "Pseudo" mode in the video-settings. It helps with some Vidoe-Cards...

Cleaned up. This is a performance help thread. Keep it on topic.

To be sure.

JTDawg posted this over at the ATAG Forum as well and I think we got about a 50% of those it benefitted, the other half saw no benefit. Others, including JT, found that they had to repeat the process for it to "take". It could be that some of us have installed/uninstalled so many other net-using programs and apps that files get corrupted or missing. Dunno. One person here at 1C mentioned a DECREASE in performance (!), so setting a system restore point would be wise, as always.

Still, if a few people benefitted, then why not try it?
